Driving recommendations
► Observe the driving regulations and remain 
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
►
 
Monitor your environment and keep your 
hands on the wheel to be able to react to 
anything that may happen any time.
►
 
Drive smoothly
 , anticipate the need for 
braking and maintain a longer safety distance, 
especially in bad weather.
►
 
Stop the vehicle before performing operations 
that require sustained attention (e.g.
  settings).
►
 
During long trips, take a break every 2 hours.
Important!
Never leave the engine running in a 
closed space without sufficient 
ventilation.  Internal combustion engines emit 
toxic exhaust gases such as carbon 
monoxide. Danger of poisoning and death!
In very severe wintry conditions 
(temperature below -23°C), let the engine 
run for 4 minutes before moving off, to ensure 
the correct operation and durability of the 
mechanical components of your vehicle 
(engine and gearbox).
Never drive with the parking brake 
applied . Risk of overheating and 
damaging the braking system!
Do not park the vehicle or leave the 
engine running on a flammable 
surface (e.g. dry grass, dead leaves).The 
vehicle exhaust system is very hot, even 
several minutes after the engine stops. Risk 
of fire!
Never leave the vehicle unattended, 
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).
Never leave children inside the vehicle 
unsupervised.
On flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded 
roads, as this could cause serious damage to 
the internal combustion engine or electric motor, 
the gearbox and the electrical systems of the 
vehicle.
 
 
If the vehicle absolutely must drive through a 
flooded section of road:
►
 
Check that the depth of the water does not 
exceed 15
  cm, taking account of waves that 
might be generated by other users.
►
 
Deactivate the Stop & Start function.
►
 
For rechargeable hybrid engines, place the 
mode selector in  4WD
 position (depending on 
version).
►
 
Drive as slowly as possible without stalling. In 
all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10
  km/h).
►
 
Do not stop and do not switch off the motor
 .
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as safety 
conditions allow, make several light brake 
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt about the state of your vehicle, 
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Towing
Driving with a trailer places greater 
demands on the towing vehicle and 
particular care must be taken.
Do not exceed the maximum towable 
weights.
At altitude: reduce the maximum load by 
10% per 1,000 metres of altitude; the lower 
air density at high altitudes decreases engine 
performance.
New vehicle: do not tow a trailer until the 
vehicle has driven at least 620 miles 
(1,000 kilometres).
If the outside temperature is high, let the 
engine idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the 
vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.
Before setting off
Nose weight
►  Distribute the load in the trailer so that the 
heaviest items are as close as possible to the 
axle and the nose weight (at the point where it 
joins your vehicle) approaches the maximum 
permitted without exceeding it.
Tyres
►  Check the tyre pressures of the towing 
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the 
recommended pressures.
Lighting
►  Check the electrical signalling on the trailer 
and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.
If a genuine PEUGEOT towing device is 
used, the rear parking sensors will be 
deactivated automatically to avoid the audible 
signal.

When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill causes the coolant 
temperature to increase. The maximum towable 
load depends on the gradient and the exterior 
temperature. The fan’s cooling capacity does not 
increase with engine speed.
►
 
Reduce speed and lower the engine speed to 
limit the amount of heating produced.
►
 
Pay constant attention to the coolant 
temperature.
If this warning lamp and the  STOP 
warning lamp come on, stop the 
vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as 
possible.
Brakes
Using the engine brake is recommended to limit 
the overheating of the brakes. Braking distances 
are increased when towing a trailer.
Side wind
Bear in mind that the vehicle will be more 
susceptible to wind when towing.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The keys contain a code, which must be 
recognised by the vehicle before starting is 
possible.
If the system malfunctions, indicated by the 
display of a message, the engine will not start.
