Heated seats
The function is active only with the engine
running.
Switching on
F Press the button for your seat.
F E ach press changes the level of heating;
the corresponding number of indicator
lamps come on:
●

1 i
ndicator lamp = low.
●

2 i
ndicator lamps = medium.
●

3 i
ndicator lamps = high. Do not use the function if the seat is not
occupied.
Reduce the level of heating as soon as
possible.
Once the temperatures of the seat and
the passenger compartment are at
adequate levels you can switch off the
function; lower current consumption
reduces fuel consumption.
Switching off
F Press the button again until all of the
indicator lamps are off.
The state of the function is not held in memory
when the ignition is switched off. Prolonged use at the highest setting
is not recommended for those with
sensitive skin.
There is a risk of burns for those that
do not have normal perception of heat
(illness, taking medicines, ...).
There is a risk of overheating the
system if material with insulating
properties is used, such as cushions or
seat covers.
Do not use the system:
-

i
f wearing damp clothing,
-

i
f child seats are fitted.
To avoid breaking the heating element
in the seat:
-

charging zone.
F

O
nce the portable device is detected, the
charge indicator lamp comes on in green. If the indicator lamp is on in orange:
Do not leave metal objects (coins, keys,
the vehicle's remote control...) in the
charging zone while a portable device
is charging - Risk of overheating or
interruption of the charge!
-

r
emove the portable device, then return it
to the middle of the charging zone.
or
-

r
emove the portable device and try again in
a quarter of an hour.
If the problem persists, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
F

C
harging of the portable device's battery
then starts.
F

O
nce the portable device's battery is fully
charged, the charge indicator lamp goes off.
Checking operation
The state of the charge indicator lamp allows
the operation of the charger to be monitored.
The system only supports charging one
portable device at a time.

Driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your
hands on the wheel so that you are ready to
react at any time to any eventuality.
On a long journey, a break every two hours is
strongly recommended.
In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate
the need to brake and increase the distance
from other vehicles.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage
to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle.
Important!If you are obliged to drive through water:
-
c
heck that the depth of water does not
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves
that might be generated by other users,
-

d
eactivate the Stop & Start system,
-

d
rive as slowly as possible without stalling.
In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph
(10 km/h),
-

d
o not stop and do not switch off the
engine. Never drive with the parking brake
applied - Risk of overheating and
damage to the braking system!
Risk of fire!
As the exhaust system of your vehicle
is very hot, even several minutes after
switching off the engine, do not park
or run the engine over areas where
inflammable substances and materials
are present: grass, leaves, etc.
Never leave a vehicle unsupervised
with the engine running. If you have
to leave your vehicle with the engine
running, apply the parking brake
and put the gearbox into neutral or
position


N or P, depending on the type
of gearbox.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as
circumstances allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

When towing
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches
the maximum permitted without
exceeding


it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above
1
000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10
% for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.
For more information on Weights
, refer to the
corresponding section. F
I
f the warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of
engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam
height of your vehicle.
For more information on Adjusting the
headlamp beam height , refer to the
corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the
audible signal if a genuine PEUGEOT
towbar is used.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F

T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.

Audio and Telematics
The table below gives answers to the most frequently asked questions on your audio system.
QUESTIONANSWERSOLUTION
With the engine off, the audio system switches off after a few minutes of use.
When the engine is switched off, the audio system operating time depends on the state of charge of the battery. The switch-off is normal: the audio equipment switches to economy mode and switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery.
Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery charge.
The message "the audio system is overheated" appears on the display.
In order to protect the installation if the surrounding temperature is too high, the audio system switches to an automatic thermal protection mode leading to a reduction in volume or CD play stopping.
Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to allow the system to cool.
Frequently asked questions
QUESTIONANSWERSOLUTION
There is a difference in sound quality between the different audio sources (radio, CD...).
For optimum sound quality, the audio settings (Volume, Bass, Treble, Ambience and Loudness) can be adapted to the different sound sources, which may result in audible differences when changing source (radio, CD...).
Check that the audio settings (Volume, Bass, Treble, Ambience and Loudness) are adapted to the sources listened to. It is advisable to set the audio functions (Bass, Treble, Front-Rear Balance and Left-Right Balance) to the middle position, select the musical ambience "None" and set the loudness correction to the "Active" position in CD mode or to the "Inactive" position in radio mode.
