Driving -> Drive selector (Electric) for your Peugeot 2008 2019-2025
Driving
Do not drive faster than 62 mph (100 km/h),
keeping to the speed limit.
B : Brake (automatic forward gear with
regenerative braking function activated).
Drive selector (Electric)
The drive selector is a pulse selector with a
regenerative braking function.
Switching of the gearbox to back-up mode
Operation
Mode D locks in third gear.
The drive selector provides traction control
based on the driving style, the road profile and
the vehicle load.
With regenerative braking activated, it also
manages engine braking when the accelerator
pedal is released.
The paddles on the steering wheel do not work
and mode M is no longer accessible.
You may feel a significant jolt on engaging
reverse gear. This will not damage the gearbox.

In some cases, the selector indicator lamps may
no longer come on, but the gearbox state is still
displayed on the instrument panel.

To move the vehicle with the ignition off
and so allow it to free-wheel.
For more information on Free-wheeling,
refer to the corresponding section.

forward drive with regenerative braking (B)
A. Button P
To put the gearbox into Park mode.
B. Unlock button
Major malfunction
To unlock the selector and come out of P or
change to R, with the foot on the brake pedal.
Press and hold this button before pushing the
selector.
Information displayed on
the instrument panel
This warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by the display of a
message.
When the ignition is switched on, the drive
selector status is displayed on the instrument
panel:
P : Park.
R : Reverse.
N : Neutral.
D : Drive (automatic forward gear).
C. Selector state indicators (R, N, D/B)
You must stop the vehicle.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so and
switch off the ignition.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
► Move the selector by pushing it forwards (N
or R) or backwards (N or D/B) once or twice,
passing the point of resistance if necessary.
The push selector returns to its initial position
when released.

Driving
For example, to change from P to R, either
push forwards twice without passing the point of
resistance or push just once, passing the point
of resistance:
– In the first case, the selector goes from P to N,
then from N to R.
regenerative braking may be temporarily
limited, resulting in less deceleration.
The driver must remain alert to traffic
conditions and must always be ready to use
the brake pedal.

With the brake pedal
– In the second case, the selector goes directly
from P to R.
When the brake pedal is depressed, the
intelligent braking system automatically recovers
some of the energy and uses it to recharge the
traction battery.
This energy recovery also reduces use of the
brake pads, thereby limiting their wear.
Regenerative braking
With the Brake function and when
decelerating
► Press the control to display the modes on the
instrument panel, and depending on version, on
the screen with PEUGEOT Connect Nav.
With an electric motor, you cannot select a mode
if the READY lamp is off.
When the message disappears, the selected
mode is activated and remains indicated on the
instrument panel (except Normal mode).
With the Advanced Grip Control optimising
traction, additional driving modes are available.
For more information on Advanced Grip
Control, refer to the corresponding section.
Whenever the ignition is switched on,
The Brake function emulates engine braking,
slowing the vehicle with no need to depress the
brake pedal. The vehicle slows more quickly
when the driver releases the accelerator pedal.
The energy recovered when the accelerator
pedal is released is then used to partially
recharge the traction battery, thereby increasing
the vehicle's driving range.
The driver may experience a different
sensation when depressing the brake
pedal compared to a vehicle without
regenerative braking.
Driving modes
The driving modes available depend on the
engine and equipment of the vehicle.
Driving modes are selected using the following
control:
The resulting deceleration of the vehicle
does not cause the brake lamps to come
on.
Normal driving mode is selected by default.
► From mode D/B, move the push selector
backwards to activate/deactivate the function.
D on the instrument panel is replaced with B.
The system status is not saved when the ignition
is switched off.
Normal
To restore the default settings.
Eco
To reduce energy consumption by reducing the
performance of the heating and air conditioning,
without deactivating them.
In some situations (e.g. battery full,
extreme temperatures), the amount of
