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!
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.
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.
Under no circumstances exceed 10 km/h,
-

d

o not stop and do not switch off the
engine.
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.

Starting-switching off the engine
Anti-theft protection
Electronic engine immobiliser
The key contains an electronic chip which has
a special code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised in order for
starting to be possible.
This electronic engine immobiliser locks the
engine management system a few minutes
after the ignition is switched off, and prevents
the engine being started by anyone who does
not have the key. or In the event of a fault, you are
informed by the illumination of this
warning light, an audible signal and
a message in the screen.
In this case, your vehicle will not start; contact
a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
Keep safely, away from your vehicle, the
label attached to the keys given to you on
when you purchased your vehicle.

It has 3 positions:
- position 1 (Stop): insert and removing the
key, steering column locked,
-
position 2 (Ignition on) : steering column
unlocked, ignition on, Diesel preheating,
engine running,
-
position 3 (Starting) .
Ignition on position
It allows the use of the vehicle's electric
equipment or portable devices to be charged.
Once the state of charge of the battery drops
to the reserve level, the system switches to
energy economy mode : the power supply is
cut off automatically to preserve the remaining
battery charge.
Avoid attaching heavy objects to the key
or the remote control, which would weigh
down on its blade in the ignition switch
and could cause a malfunction.
It could adversely affect the deployment of
the front airbag.

nlock the steering column by
simultaneously turning the steering and

In certain cases, you may have to turn
the steering wheel energetically to move
the wheels (for example if the wheels are
braced against a kerb). F
W ith a petrol engine, operate the starter
motor by turning the key to position 3
without pressing the accelerator pedal,
until the engine starts. Once the engine is
running, release the key.
F

W
ith a Diesel engine, turn the key to
position 2 , ignition on, to operate the
engine pre-heating system.
Wait until this warning light goes off
in the instrument panel then operate
the starter motor by turning the key
to position 3 without pressing the
accelerator pedal, until the engine
starts. Once the engine is running,
release the key.
In winter conditions, the lighting time of
the indicator light is longer. When the
engine is warm, the indicator light does
not come on. If the engine does not start immediately,
turn off the ignition. Wait a few minutes
before restarting. If after a few attempts
the engine does not start, do not persist:
you risk damaging the starter and the
engine. Contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In temperate conditions, do not leave
the engine at idle to warm up but move
off straight away and drive at moderate
speed.
Never leave the engine running in
an enclosed area without adequate
ventilation: internal combustion engines
emit toxic exhaust gases, such as carbon
monoxide. There is a risk of poisoning and
death!
In severe wintry conditions (temperature
below -23°C), the engine should be left at
idle for four minutes before moving off to
ensure the correct operation and life of the
mechanical parts of your vehicle, engine
and gearbox.
