Peugeot 508 - Video tutorial

Model: Peugeot 508 MK 2 - Years 2018-2024
Part: Gearbox
Operation: How does the automatic gearbox of the Peugeot 508 work?

To use the automatic gearbox of the Peugeot 508, you must first remove the P mode by pressing the button located on the left side of the selector. Once the gearbox is unlocked, it will be possible to move it downwards to switch to the D mode: in this way, it will be possible to drive without the need to manually engage the gears. Then, by moving the D mode to the right, it will be possible to manually engage the gears using the paddle shifters on the steering wheel. Pressing both paddle shifters will allow you to switch to the N mode, which is equivalent to putting the gearbox in neutral.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
