How to Drive the Peugeot EAT8 Automatic Gearbox

Model: Peugeot 3008 P64 - Years 2023-2026
Part: Transmission

In this video, we see how to drive the Peugeot EAT8 automatic gearbox, demonstrated on a Peugeot 3008: the "P" is for parking, which you will press when stopping; shift from one position to another while pressing the brake pedal and pulling the gear lever upwards to switch to "R" for reverse (activating the rear camera), or to "N" for neutral, or to "D" for drive, which is used for driving, where the car will change gears automatically according to speed. You can also switch to manual driving using the "M" button, utilising the paddles on the steering wheel. It is a very advanced gearbox that allows for smooth, quick, precise shifts with optimal fuel consumption. The transitions between gears are almost imperceptible, and the driving experience is very pleasant.
