F If this warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
New vehicle
Do not pull a trailer before having driven at least
approximately 620


miles (1,000

kilometres).
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 Headlamp
adjustment , refer to the corresponding
section. Certain driving or manoeuvring aid
functions are automatically disabled if an
approved towing system is used.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic 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.
In the event of a fault, you are informed
by illumination of this warning lamp, 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
when you purchased your vehicle.

pressing the accelerator pedal,
until the engine starts. Once the
engine is running, release the key.
In wintry conditions, the warning lamp can
stay on for a longer period.
If the engine is warm, the warning lamp
does not come on. If the engine does not start straight away,
switch off the ignition.
Wait a few seconds before restarting the
engine. If the engine does not start after
several attempts, do not keep trying: you
risk damaging the starter motor or the
engine.
Call 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. Risk of intoxication and death.
In severe wintry conditions (temperature
below -23°C), the engine should be left
at idle for 4
minutes before moving off to
ensure the correct operation and life of the
mechanical parts of your vehicle, engine
and gearbox.

Switching off the engine leads to a loss of
braking assistance.
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 is necessary to turn the steering wheel
slightly while pressing the "START/STOP"
button to assist unlocking of the steering
column; a message warns you when this
is needed.

Special aspects of automatic
mode
If you exceed the time limit of five seconds,
the gearbox engages mode P
; you should then
restart the procedure.
The gearbox selects the gear that offers
optimum per formance, taking account of the
exterior temperature, the profile of the road, the
load on the vehicle and the style of driving.
For maximum acceleration without touching the
selector, push the accelerator to the floor (kick-
down). The gearbox shifts down automatically
or holds the gear selected until the maximum
engine speed is reached.
The steering mounted controls allow the driver
to temporarily select a gear, if the vehicle
speed and engine speed permit.
Special aspects of manual mode
The change from one gear to another takes
place only if the vehicle speed and engine
speed permit.

Check that mode P has been engaged and that
the electric parking brake has been applied
automatically; if not, apply it manually.
The corresponding indicator lamps for
the selector and the electric parking
brake control lever must be on, as well
as the ones in the instrument panel.

Driver Sport Pack
With the engine running, when the Driver
Spor t Pack is activated, the gearbox delays
changing up for a more dynamic driving style.
The programme is automatically deactivated
when the ignition is switched off.Eco mode
Activating this mode reduces fuel consumption
by optimising the operation of the heating and
air conditioning and, depending on version, the
pedals, the automatic gearbox and the gear
shift indicator. Activating the Driver Spor t Pack is not
recommended in the following situations:
-
A
SR system deactivated,
-
l
