Manual or electric sliding
side door(s)
General recommendations
The doors must only be operated when
the vehicle is stationary.
For your safety and for that of your
passengers, as well as for correct
operation of the doors, you are strongly
advised not to drive with a door open.
Always check that it is safe to operate the
door and in particular, be sure not to leave
children or animals near the door controls
without supervision.
The audible warning, illumination of
the "door open" warning lamp and the
message in the multifunction screen are
there to remind you. Contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop to
deactivate these warnings.
Lock your vehicle when using an
automatic car wash.Before opening or closing or per forming
any movement of the doors, ensure that
no person, animal or object is in the door
frame or can block the desired movement,
inside or outside the vehicle.
If this advice is not followed, injuries or
damage may occur if a person or an
object is trapped or caught.
The doors cannot be opened electrically
above 2
mph (3 km/h):
-

B
ut if the doors remained open when
starting, the speed must fall below
19
mph (30 km/h) before they can be
closed.
-

A
ny attempt to open a door electrically
using the interior handle while driving
results in it only being possible to open
the door manually.
-

T
his situation is accompanied by the
audible warning, illumination of the
"door open" warning lamp and the
message in the multifunction screen.
To release the door and be able to
operate it again, it is necessary to stop
the vehicle. The electric controls are inhibited in the
event of an impact. Manual opening and
closing remain possible.
While starting the engine, the movement
of a door is interrupted and restored once
the engine is running.
Depending on the engine, in Stop
mode of Stop & Start, if the door
is closed and you initiate opening
of the door, the door opens
partially and stops. When the
engine changes automatically to
Start mode, the door continues its
movement.

other road users driving
in the same direction who
may not have noticed that
your vehicle has stopped,
use a warning triangle or
other device required by the
legislation in your country.
Opening to approximately 250°
If you have them, the hinges include three
notches that allow the door to be held in the

Advice
In order for these systems to be fully effective,
follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:
F
T
o ensure that the air is distributed evenly,
keep the external air intake grilles at the
base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the
vents, the air outlets and the air extractor
located in the rear free from obstructions.
F

D
o not cover the sunshine sensor, located
at the top of the windscreen; this is used
for regulation of the air conditioning
system.
F

O
perate the air conditioning system for
at least 5
to 10 minutes, once or twice a
month to keep it in per fect working order.
F

T
o prevent misting or deteriorating air
quality inside the passenger compartment,
you should not deactivate the system for
too long and avoid extended operation of
the air recycling system when driving.
F

E
nsure that the passenger compartment
filter is in good condition and have the
filter elements replaced regularly. We recommend the use of a combined
passenger compartment filter. Thanks to
its special active additive, it contributes
to the purification of the air breathed by
the occupants and the cleanliness of the
passenger compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, bad odours and greasy deposits).
F

T
o ensure correct operation of the air
conditioning system, you are also advised
to have it checked in accordance with the
recommendations in the Warranty and
Maintenance Record.
F

I
f the system does not produce cold air,
switch it off and contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a steep
gradient in high temperatures, switching off
the air conditioning increases the available
engine power and so improves the towing
ability. Vents
To close the vent, move the control outwards.
You may feel slight resistance.

Emergency braking assistance
(EBA)
In an emergency, this system permits the
optimum braking pressure to be reached
more quickly, therefore reducing the stopping
distance.
It is triggered in relation to the speed at which
the brake pedal is pressed. The effect of this is
a reduction in the resistance of the pedal and
an increase in braking efficiency.
Anti-slip regulation (ASR)
The ASR system (also known as Traction
Control) optimises traction in order to limit
wheel slip by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and on the engine. It also improves
the directional stability of the vehicle on
acceleration.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
If there is a difference between the path
followed by the vehicle and that required by
the driver, the DSC monitors each wheel and
automatically acts on the brake of one or more
wheels and on the engine to return the vehicle
to the required path, within the limits of the laws
of physics.
Intelligent traction control
If your vehicle has this system, it features a
system to help driving on snow: intelligent
traction control.
This system detects situations of difficult
sur face grip that could make it difficult to move
off or make progress on deep fresh snow or
compacted snow.
In these situations, the intelligent traction
control limits the amount of wheel spin to
provide the best traction and trajectory control
for your vehicle.
The use of snow tyres is strongly
recommended on sur faces offering low
levels of grip.
Anti-lock braking system
(ABS) and electronic brake
force distribution (EBFD)
The fixed illumination of this warning
lamp indicates that there is a fault
with the ABS.If this warning lamp comes on, in
conjunction with the STOP and
ABS warning lamps, an audible
signal and a message, it means
that the electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD) is defective.
You must stop as soon as it is
safe to do so.
In both cases, have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop as soon
as possible.
When changing wheels (tyres and rims),
ensure that these are approved for your
vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibrations of the brake
pedal.
Safety

147
If you need to brake in an emergency,
press the brake pedal ver y firmly and
keep the pressure applied.
After an impact, have the system checked
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
and anti-slip regulation (ASR)
Activation
These systems are activated automatically
every time the vehicle is started.
As soon as they detect a problem of grip or
trajectory, these systems act on the operation
of the engine and brakes. This is indicated by the warning
lamp flashing in the instrument
panel.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (moving a vehicle that
is bogged down in mud, stuck in snow, on loose
soil, etc.), it may prove useful to deactivate the
DSC/ASR systems, so that the wheels can
move freely and regain grip.
It is however recommended that the system be
reactivated as soon as possible.
Press this button.
Or Place the knob in this position.
The indicator lamp in the button or thumbwheel
comes on: the DSC/ASR system no longer acts
on the operation of the engine.
Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automatically
every time the ignition is switched off, or from
30 mph (50 km/h).
However, below 30
mph (50 km/h) you can
manually reactivate the systems.
Press this button.
Or Place the knob in this position.
The indicator lamp in the button or for the
thumbwheel goes off.
Operating fault
Illumination of the warning lamp
accompanied by a message in the
screen indicates a malfunction of
these systems.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.

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 carried, the vehicle must remain
within the maximum 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
and 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.
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.
In case of towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands 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.
Please respect the maximum towable
weights.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to wind.

Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature 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 around 600
miles (1,000 kilometres).
When the exterior temperature is high,
leaving the engine running for 1
to
2
minutes after stopping the vehicle to
allow it to cool is recommended.
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
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.

Hill start assist
System which keeps your vehicle immobilised
temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) when
starting on a gradient, the time it takes to
move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
It is only active when:
-

t
he vehicle is completely stationary, with
your foot on the brake pedal,
-

w
ith the driver’s door closed.
The hill start assist system cannot be
deactivated.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held temporarily in the hill start assist
phase.
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. Uphill, with the vehicle stationar y, it will
briefly stop the vehicle from rolling back
when you release the brake pedal.
Downhill, with the vehicle stationary and
reverse gear engaged, the vehicle is held
for a shor t time when you release the brake
pedal. If your vehicle has an automatic
gearbox and you have to move off on a
steep slope (rising or falling) with a loaded
vehicle, depress the brake pedal
, select
position D , release the parking brake then
release the brake pedal.

Stopping the vehicle
A stiff point may be noticed when moving
to position P.
If the selector is not in position P , when the
driver's door is opened or approximately
45
seconds after the ignition is switched
off, an audible signal sounds and a
message appears.
F

R
eturn the selector to position P ; the
audible signal stops and the message
disappears.
Before switching off the engine, select
position P then apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle.
To reduce fuel consumption when
stationary for long periods with the
engine running (traffic jam, etc.),
position the selector to N and apply the
parking brake.
If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox,
never try to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle.
On a steep slope with a loaded vehicle,
depress the brake pedal, select position
P
, apply the parking brake then release
the brake pedal.
In all circumstances, ensure that the
selector is in position P before leaving
your vehicle.
Malfunction
When the ignition is on, a message appears
in the instrument panel screen to indicate a
gearbox fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel a
substantial jolt when changing from P to R and
from N to R . This will not cause any damage to
the gearbox.
Do not exceed around 60
mph (100 km/h), local
speed restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop. There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:
-

i
f you depress the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time (braking
or acceleration must be done only with
the right foot),
-
i
f you force the selector from position P
to another position when the battery is
flat.
