Manoeuvre cautiously, at low
speed
The dimensions of your vehicle differ from
those of a light vehicle, in width, in height, as
well as in length, and some obstacles will be
more difficult to notice.
Manoeuvre slowly.
Before turning, check that there are no
obstacles at mid-height along the sides.
Before reversing, check that there are no
obstacles, particularly at high level behind the
vehicle.
Be aware of the external dimensions, if ladders
are fitted.
Load the vehicle correctly
With a load, the vehicle must remain within the
m aximum authorised weight, the Gross Vehicle
Weight.
To avoid upsetting the balance of the vehicle,
the load should be centred and the heaviest
part placed on the floor in front of the rear
wheels.
It is inadvisable to place heavy loads on a
roof
rack.
Loading also implies adherence to the
maximum load of the roof bar anchor points.
Adhere to the maximum permissible weight,
according to PEUGEOT dealer specifications.
Loads must be securely lashed down.
A load that is not properly secured inside the
vehicle may affect vehicle handling and create
a
risk of accident.
Drive the vehicle in a prudent
a nd efficient way
Take corners gently.
Anticipate the need to brake as the stopping
distance is increased, particularly on wet or icy
roads.
Be aware of the effect of side winds on the
vehicle.
Effective eco-driving saves fuel; accelerate
progressively, anticipate the need to slow down
and adapt your speed to suit the situation.
Indicate changes of direction well in advance
so that you are seen by other road users.
Take care
The tyres must be inflated to at least the
pressures indicated on the label, even over-
inflated by 0.2
to 0.3 bar for long journeys.
In case of towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
d emands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.
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. The maximum
towed load must be reduced by 10% for every
1,000
metres of altitude.
For more information on the Technical
data of your vehicle and particularly on
towable loads, refer to the corresponding
section.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to wind.
If your vehicle is fitted with a

drop-side back,
the height and width of the load must remain
within the overall dimensions of the vehicle.
Driving

89
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
t emperature 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 towable load on an incline
depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature.
In all cases, keep a
check on the coolant
temperature.
F

I
f 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 620
miles (1,000 kilometres).
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o 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
beam height adjustment , 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.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The keys contain an electronic immobiliser
device.
This device locks the engine supply system.
It activates automatically when the key is
removed from the ignition.
This warning lamp goes off after the
key has been recognised, the ignition is
switched on and the engine can be started.
If the key is not recognised, the engine
cannot be started. Use another key
and have the faulty key checked by
a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Note the number of the keys carefully;
in case of loss, inter vention by the
PEUGEOT dealer will be more efficient
and quicker if you present this number and
the confidential card.
When the ignition switch is turned on, a
dialogue is set up between the key and the
electronic immobiliser.
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic immobiliser system.
Operating the remote control, even when it
is in your pocket, may result in involuntary
unlocking of the doors.
The simultaneous use of other high
frequency equipment (mobile telephones,
domestic alarms, etc.), may inter fere
with the operation of the remote control
temporarily.
The remote control does not operate
while the key is in the ignition, even if the
ignition is off, except for reinitialisation.

Releasing
When the vehicle is being driven,
this warning lamp coming on
indicates that the parking brake is
still applied or has not been fully
released.
Manual gearbox
To change gear easily, always depress the
clutch pedal fully.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedal:
-
e
nsure that the mat is positioned
correctly,
-

n
ever fit one mat on top of another.
Avoid leaving your hand on the gear knob as
the force exerted, even if slight, may wear the
internal components of the gearbox over time.
Engaging reverse gear
Never engage reverse gear before the
vehicle is completely stationary.
If your vehicle is fitted with parking
sensors, the system comes into operation
when reverse gear is engaged; an audible
signal is heard.
For more information on Rear parking
sensors , refer to the corresponding
section.
F

P

ull the lever up slightly and press the
button to release the parking brake lever.
Gear shift indicator
Depending on the engine or model, this system
allows fuel consumption to be reduced by
suggesting when to change up.
Gear shift recommendations are only optional.
In fact, the road configuration, the traffic
density and safety remain the determining
factors when choosing the best gear.
Therefore, the driver remains responsible for
deciding whether or not to follow the system's
advice.
The system cannot be deactivated.
Operation
The information appears in the
instrument panel screen in the form
of the SHIFT indicator, accompanied
by an upward arrow to signal to the
driver that they can change up.
The system adapts its gear shift
recommendation according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the
driver's requirements (power, acceleration,
b r a k i n g , e t c .) .
The system never recommends engaging
first gear or reverse, or changing down.
F

R

aise the collar under the gear knob to
engage reverse gear.
The lever should be moved slowly to reduce the
noise on engaging reverse gear.
Driving

95
Reactivation
Malfunction
F Press this button again.
The system is active again; this is confirmed
by the button indicator lamp going out and the
display of a message.
In the event of a fault with the system, the
S top & Start system is deactivated and this
warning lamp comes on, accompanied by
a
message in the instrument panel screen.
Maintenance
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to
avoid any risk of injury resulting from an
automatic change to START mode.
The Stop & Start system makes use of
an advanced technology. All work on
this type of battery must be carried out
only by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Have it checked by a

PEUGEOT dealer or by
a


qualified workshop.
In the event of a

malfunction in STOP mode, it
is possible to restart the engine by depressing
the clutch pedal fully or by putting the gear
lever into neutral. This system requires a
specific battery
with a


special specification and technology
(reference numbers available from a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop).
Fitting a
battery not approved by PEUGEOT
introduces the risk of malfunction of the
system.
For more information on the Battery , refer to
the corresponding section.
Hill start assist
System which keeps your vehicle stationary
for a short time (approximately 2 seconds)
when starting on a
gradient, the time it takes
to move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
This system (also called HHC – Hill Holder
Control), integrated with the dynamic stability
control system, is activated in the following
conditions:
-

t
he vehicle must be stationary, engine
running, foot on the brake,
-

t
he gradient of the road must be steeper
than 5%,
-

u
phill, the gearbox must be in neutral or in
a


gear other than reverse,
-
do

wnhill, reverse gear must be engaged.
The hill start assist system is a
driving
aid. It is not an automatic vehicle parking
function or an automatic parking brake.
6
Driving

96
Operation
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal pressed,
from the time you release the brake pedal,
without using the parking brake, you have
approximately 2 seconds to move off before the
vehicle starts to roll back.
During the moving off phase, the function is
deactivated automatically, gradually releasing
the braking pressure. During this phase,
it is possible to perceive the typical noise
of mechanical brake release signalling the
imminent movement of the vehicle. Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held temporarily by hill start assist.
If you need to get out of the vehicle with
the engine running, apply the parking
brake manually then ensure that the
parking brake indicator lamp is on.
Hill start assist is deactivated in the following
situations:
-
w
hen the clutch pedal is released,
-
w
hen the parking brake is applied,
-
w
hen the engine is switched off,
-
i
f the engine stalls.
Malfunction
If a malfunction of the system
o ccurs, this warning lamp comes
on accompanied by an audible
signal and confirmed by a
message
in the screen. Have it checked by
a
PEUGEOT dealer or by a qualified
workshop.
Traffic sign recognition
This system is a driving aid that uses a camera
l ocated at the top of the windscreen.
The camera detects the following types of signs
and displays the corresponding information in
the instrument panel:
-
sp

eed limits,
-

n
o overtaking,
-

e
nd of the above-mentioned limits/
restrictions.
The system detects the signs on the left and on
the right, low-mounted and high-mounted, as
well as overlapping signs.
The system detects only round signs.
Driving

97
The units for the speed limits (mph or
km/h) depend on the country you are
driving in.
This should be taken into account in order
to obser ve the speed limit.
For the system to operate correctly when
you change country, the units for speed in
the instrument panel must be set to those
for the country you are driving in.
The automatic reading of road signs is
a driving assistance system and does not
always display speed limits correctly.
The speed limit signs present on the road
always take priority over the display by the
system.
The system cannot in any circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver.
The driver must observe the driving
regulations and must adapt the speed of
the vehicle to suit the weather and traffic.
It is possible for the system to not display
the speed limit if it does not detect a
speed
limit sign within a
preset period.
The system is designed to detect signs
that conform to the Vienna Convention on
road signs. To maintain correct operation of the
system:
-

R
egularly clean the area in front of the
camera.
-

D
o not carry out any repairs in the area
of the windscreen close to the camera
lens.
When replacing headlamp bulbs, you
are strongly recommended to fit genuine
replacement parts.
The use of other bulbs could reduce the
per formance of the system.
Principles Display in the touch screen
then in the instrument
panel
The signs are displayed in the following two
phases:
-

A
ll new recognised traffic signs are
displayed in the touch screen in the form of
a
pop-up for 40 seconds.
-

T
hese traffic signs are then displayed in the
instrument panel.
The system can display two traffic signs (speed
limit and no overtaking/end of no overtaking) at
the same time in the two specific areas of the
instrument panel.
If an additional traffic sign is detected, such as
one for a
reduced speed limit when the road is
wet, this is displayed in an empty window below
the corresponding sign. Using the camera located at the top of the
windscreen, this system detects and reads
speed limit and no overtaking traffic signs and
signs that indicate the end of these restrictions.
The sign is read by the camera, and then when
the vehicle passes it (at its level), it is displayed
in the instrument panel.
6
Driving

98
Additional traffic signs are filtered as follows:
- S igns related to snow or ice are displayed
only if the exterior temperature is below
3°C.
-

S
igns related to snow, rain or fog are
displayed only if the wipers are on and the
exterior temperature is below 3°C.
-

S
igns related to heavy goods vehicles are
only displayed if they apply to vehicles
weighing less than 4
tonnes.
-

S
igns related to farm vehicles are not
displayed.
Signs such as the no overtaking sign disappear
after about 40
seconds in the instrument panel.
Activation/Deactivation
The function is set with the MODE button; in
the "Traffic Sign" menu, select "ON" or "OFF".
For more information on Vehicle
configuration , refer to the corresponding
section.
Operating limits
The legislation on speed limits is specific to
each country.
The system does not take account of reduced
speed limits in the following cases:
-

p
oor weather (rain, snow),
-
a

tmospheric pollution,
-

t
railer, caravan,
-
d

riving with snow chains fitted,
-

d
riving with a non-genuine suspension kit,
-
p

uncture repair using the temporary repair
kit,
-
y

oung drivers. The following situations may interfere with
the operation of the system or prevent it
from working:
-
p

oor visibility (dazzling sun, inadequate
street lighting, falling snow, heavy rain,
dense fog, vehicle too far from the
traffic sign),
-

l
ow temperatures and particularly
severe climatic conditions,
-

w
indscreen area in front of the camera
being: dirty, misted up, frost-covered,
snow-covered, damaged or covered by
a


s t i c ke r,
-

f
ault with the camera,
-

o
bsolete or incorrect mapping,
-

o
bstructed road signs (by other
vehicles, vegetation, snow),
-

t
raffic signs that do not conform to the
standard, are damaged or distorted,
-

r
oad inclination causing the sign to be
out of the camera view (for example, to
one side).
-

v
ariation of load causing the camera
to be significantly inclined (the system
may not work for a
moment while the
camera recalibrates itself).

99
Speed limiter
The system prevents the vehicle
from exceeding the speed setting
programmed by the driver.
Speed selection is made with the vehicle
stationary and the engine running or with
the vehicle moving and 2nd gear or higher
engaged.
The minimum speed that can be programmed
is 19

mph (30 km/h).
The vehicle responds to the driver's foot
pressure on the accelerator until resistance is
felt in the pedal, which signifies that the vehicle
has reached the programmed speed.
However, pressing the pedal beyond this point
of resistance to the floor permits exceeding
the programmed speed. To resume use of
the limiter, simply reduce the pressure on
the accelerator pedal gradually and return to
a


speed below the programmed speed. 1.
Selecting the limiter function.
2. Activation/deactivation of the function.
3. Programming a
speed.
The function selection status and the
programmed speed are displayed in the
instrument panel screen. The speed limiter is a
driving aid that
cannot, in any circumstances, replace the
need to obser ve speed limits or the need
for vigilance on the part of the driver.
Selecting the function
F Turn the ring fully downwards. The speed limiter is selected but
is not yet active.
The display indicates OFF and the last
programmed speed.
Programming a speed
A speed can be programmed without activating
the limiter but with the engine running.
To enter a
speed higher than the previous one:
F

M
ove the control up (+).
A short press increases the speed by 1
mph
(km/h).
Holding it increases the speed in steps of
5
mph (km/h).
To enter a
speed lower than the previous one:
F

M
ove the control down (-).
A short press decreases the speed by 1
mph
(km/h).
Holding it decreases the speed in steps of
5
mph (km/h).

Restore – RES
To restore the vehicle's programmed speed
(for example after pressing the brake or clutch
pedal):The indicator comes on and the
cruise control function is restored.
F

G
o back gradually to the selected speed
and press RES .
Cancelling the programmed
speed
When the vehicle stops, after the ignition is
switched off, the system no longer stores any
speeds.
Malfunction
In the event of a fault, the system is
s witched off and the indicator goes
out.
Have it checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or by
a


qualified workshop. Use the cruise control only when traffic
conditions allow you to travel at a
constant
speed for a certain period of time whilst
keeping a sufficiently safe distance from
other vehicles.
Do not activate the cruise control in urban
areas, in heavy traffic, on winding or steep
roads, on slippery or flooded roads, or in
conditions of poor visibility (heavy rain,
fog, falling snow, etc.).
In some circumstances, it may not
be possible to maintain or reach the
programmed speed: towing, vehicle
heavily loaded, steep climb, etc.
The use of mats not approved by
PEUGEOT may impair the operation of the
cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:
-
e
nsure that the mat is positioned
c o r r e c t l y,
-
d
o not fit one mat on top of another.
Lane Departure Warning
System
System which detects the involuntary crossing
of longitudinal traffic lane markings on the
ground (solid or broken line).
The lane departure warning system
cannot, in any circumstances, replace the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
A camera fitted at the top centre of the
windscreen monitors the road and detects lane
markings and the position of the vehicle with
respect to them.
With the vehicle running at a
speed higher than
37
mph (60 km/h), it triggers a warning if the
vehicle drifts off line.
This system is particularly useful on motor ways
and main roads.

Driving

106
If the windscreen is damaged, it is strongly
recommended that you go to a PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop for any
replacement and calibration of the camera.
Operation
The system starts automatically when moving

A check of the operating conditions
takes place: these two warning
lamps come on in the instrument
panel.
When these conditions are met, these two
indicator lamps go off. The system is activated.
If the operating conditions are not met, the
system is activated but is no longer effective.
This is signalled by the fixed illumination of
these two warning lamps in the instrument
panel.
