Driving
The "ECO"warning lamp goes
off and the engine star ts with the
electronic gearboxsystem:
- gear lever in position Aor M
, release the
brake pedal,
- or
gear lever in position Nand the brake pedal released, move the gear lever toposition A
or M,- or engage reverse gear.
START mode is invoked automaticall
y when:


- the driver's door is open,

- the driver's seat belt is not fastened,

- the speed of the vehicle exceeds 7 mph(11 k m/h) with the electronic gearbox system,

- the electric parking brake is being applied,

- some special conditions (battery charge,engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine
is needed for control of a system.

Special cases: START invoked
automatically
In this case the "ECO"
warninglamp flashes for a few seconds,
then goes off. This operation is per fectly normal.

If the system has been deactivatedin STOP mode, the engine restartsimmediately.

At any time, press the "ECO OFF"
switch todeactivate the system.
This is confirmed by the switch warning lampcoming on accompanied by a message in the screen.

Visibility

Lighting left on audible signal
An audible signal when a front door is opened warns the driver that the vehicle's exterior lighting is on, with theignition off and in manual lighting mode.
In this case, switching off the lighting stops the audible signal.
With the ignition off, if the dipped headlamps remain on, the vehicle goes into "ECO" mode to avoid discharging the battery.
In some weather conditions (e.g. lowtemperature or humidity), the presenceof misting on the internal sur face of the glass of the headlamps and rear lamps is normal; it disappears after the lampshave been on for a few minutes.

Daytime lighting, compulsory in cer tain
countries, which comes on automatically when
the engine is star ted making the vehicle more
visible to other road users.
Daytime running lamps

This function is assured:


- in countries where it is imposed by
regulations, by illumination of the dippedbeam headlamps with the sidelamps and number plate lamps.

- for other countries where it is provided,
by the use of dedicated lamps.

This function can be activatedor deactivated via the vehicleconfiguration menu.



The lighting goes off when you switchoff the ignition, but you can always switch it on again using the lighting control stalk.

Practical information
Driving advice
Distribution of loads
)Distribute the load in the trailer so that theheaviest 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 b
y 10 % for every 1 000 metres of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for details
of the weights and towed loads which apply to your vehicle.
Side wind
)Take into account the increased sensitivity
to side wind.

Cooling

To w i ng a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electricall
y controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
)
To 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.
)If the warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.



Braking

To w i ng a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a longmountain type of descent, the use of engine braking is recommended.


Tyres
)Check the tyre pressures of the towingvehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the recommended pressures.



Lighting
)Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.

The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a genuine PEUGEOT towbar is used.

Checks
Coolant level
The coolant level should be closeto the "MA X" mark but should never exceed it.When the engine is warm,the temperature of the coolant is regulated by
the fan. This can operate with the ignition off.
On vehicles which are fitted with a par ticle
emission filter, the fan may operate after the vehicle has been switched off, even if the engine is cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised, wait at least one hour after switching off the engine before carrying out anywork.
To avoid an
y risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
by two turns to allow the pressure to drop.When the pressure has dropped, remove thecap and top up the level.
Changing the coolant
The coolant does not have to be changed.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.


Fluid specifi cation

For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
this fluid must not be topped up with or
replaced with plain water.
Screenwash and headlamp wash
fl uid

In the case of vehicles fitted with
headlamp washers, the low fluid level is indicated by an audible signal anda message in the instrument panelscreen.
Top up the reser voir when you next stop the
vehicle.

The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit, if the GV W of the towing vehicle is reduced by an equal amount; warning,
towing using a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its road holding.
The GTW and towed load values indicated are valid up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned must be reduced by 10 % for each additional 1 000 metres of altitude.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (10 0 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the performance of the vehicle to protect the engine; if the ambient temperature is above 37 °C,
