Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place
the heaviest items in the bottom of the boot,
as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and
reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack,
bicycle carrier, trailer, etc.). Preferably, use a
roof box.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and
refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold,
referring to the label in the door aperture,
driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter a long period out of use.
Do not forget the spare wheel and the tyres on
any trailer or caravan. Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter, cabin filter, etc.) and
obser ve the schedule of operations in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
When filling the tank, do not continue after the
3
rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only
after the first 1,900
miles (3,000 kilometres)
that you will see the fuel consumption settle
down to a
consistent average.
With a
BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR
system is faulty, your vehicle becomes
polluting. As soon as possible, visit
a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
to make your vehicle's level of nitrogen oxides
emissions compliant to the standard.
Eco-driving

Cigarette lighter
F Press and wait a few moments until the
lighter pops out automatically.
Courtesy lamps Reading lamps
They are located above each row
of seats.
Interior roof rack
This is a storage compartment located in the
l oad space, above the cab. Its capacity varies
depending on the height of the van
(type H2
or H3).
As a
safety measure, do not place heavy
objects in the roof storage space.
Load retainerIf fitted on your vehicle, one or two courtesy
lamps are located above the rear and side
doors.
They can be activated by:
-

t
ilting the courtesy lamp (to the left or to the
right),
-

o
pening or closing the rear or side doors.
This lighting switches off automatically, after
a
few minutes, if the doors are left open. On the floor, behind the front seats, a
horizontal partition protects the driver and front
passengers against the risk of load movement.
Ladder type vertical
partition
Depending on the country of sale, behind the
driver's seat, a ladder type vertical partition
protects the driver against the risk of load
movement.
Ease of use and comfort

88
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.

Maintenance
Correct operation is only possible if the towball
and its carrier are kept clean.
Before cleaning the vehicle with a high-
pressure jet wash, the towball must be removed
and the protective plug fitted to the carrier.
Apply the label provided to a


clearly visible
area, close to the carrier or in the boot.
Go to a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop for any work on the towbar
system.
Roof carrying systems
F Remove the towball downwards from its carrier 1 .
F

R
elease the locking wheel; this
automatically stops in the unlocked position
(position B ).
F

R
efit the protective plug to the carrier.
F

C
arefully stow the towball in its bag away
from knocks and dirt. For reasons of safety and to avoid damaging
the roof, it is essential to use a
carrying system
(roof bars or roof rack) that is approved for your
vehicle.
Roof bars can only be fitted to a
van, combi
or minibus model of height H1
or H2. On
a
minibus, check for the presence of roof air
conditioning units.
The carrying system must always be secured to
the fitting points provided on the
vehicle's roof: 6, 8
or 10, depending on the
wheelbase of the vehicle.
Obser ve the instructions for fitting and use
provided with the carrying system.

Voice commands
Information – Using the
system
Instead of touching the screen, you can
use your voice to issue commands to the
system. To ensure that your voice commands are
always recognised by the system, we
recommend that you follow the advice
below:
-

s
peak in a normal tone,
-
a
lways wait for the "beep" (audible
signal) before speaking,
-
t
he system is able to recognise the
voice commands delivered, regardless
of gender, tone and inflexion of the
voice of the person speaking,
-
k
eep the noise level inside the
passenger compartment as low as
possible,
- a sk the other passengers not to
speak before you use the voice
commands. As the system recognises
voice commands whatever is said,
when more than one person speaks
at the same time, it is possible that
the system will recognise different
or additional commands to the one
intended,
-
f

or best operation, it is recommended
that the windows and sunroof (for
models/markets where it is available)
be closed to avoid inter ference from
outside noise.

these buttons are pressed during a
voice
message from the system; it allows
a
voice command to be issued directly.
For example, if the system is speaking
a
voice help message and if you know
the command to give the system, by
pressing these buttons, the voice
message is interrupted and the desired
voice command can be spoken directly (so
avoiding the need to listen to the complete
voice help message).
When the system is waiting for a
voice
command from the user, pressing these
buttons closes the voice session.
Every time a
button is pressed, a "beep"
(audible signal) is produced and the
screen displays a
page of suggestions
asking the user to speak a


command.
