Fuel filler flap
If your vehicle is equipped with one, do not
open the sliding left side door when the
fuel filler flap is open, other wise there is a
risk that the fuel filler flap and the sliding
door will be damaged and the person
filling up will be injured.
If the fuel filler flap is open and you open
the left side door, a mechanism prevents it
being opened.
The door can be opened half way
h o w eve r.
With a mechanical door, close the fuel
filler flap again to regain use of the door.
With an electrical door, in order to be able
to use it correctly, close the fuel filler flap
then press an opening button.
On a steep slope
It is possible to open and close doors
electrically on slopes of up to a 20% gradient.
However, if your vehicle is on a slope, with the
front of the vehicle facing up, open the door
with care. The door may open more quickly due
to the incline.
On a steep slope, guide the side door manually
to help it to close.However, if your vehicle is on a slope, with the
front of the vehicle facing down, the door may
not stay open and may close again jerkily with
the risk of injury.
In the case of a steep slope, the door
may be driven by its own weight and as a
consequence may open or close jerkily.
There would not be time for action at the
electric controls to take effect.
There would not be time for the
obstacle detection system to react.
Take care not to leave the vehicle on a
steep slope with the door(s) open without
supervision. If this advice is not followed,
injuries or damage may occur if a person
or an object is trapped or caught.

During heating
This indicator lamp flashes while the
heating is in operation.
This indicator lamp goes off at the
end of the heating cycle or when the
heating is stopped using the remote
control.
The maximum heating period is about
45

minutes depending on the climatic
conditions.
The programmable heating system is
supplied by the vehicle's fuel tank.
Before use, ensure that there is enough
fuel in the tank.
If the tank is on reser ve, it is
recommended that the system is not used.
The ventilation is activated provided that
the battery is sufficiently charged.
The heating is activated provided that:
-

t

he battery is sufficiently charged,
-

t

he fuel level is adequate,
-

t

he engine has been started since the
previous heating cycle. Always switch off the programmable
heating when refuelling to avoid any risk of
fire or explosion.
To avoid the risks of poisoning or
asphyxia, the programmable heating must
not be used, even for short periods, in a
closed environment such as a garage or
workshop which are not equipped with an
exhaust gas extraction system.
Do not park the vehicle on a flammable
sur face (dry grass, dead leaves, paper,
etc.). Risk of fire!
Glazed sur faces such as the rear screen
or windscreen can become very hot in
places.
Take care not to place objects in contact
with these sur faces, nor touch them with
your hands or any other part of your body.
Do not throw the remote control
batteries away, they contain metals
which are harmful to the environment.
Take them to an approved collection
point.

The front seat belts are fitted with a
pretensioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of a front or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the
pretensioning system instantly tightens the seat
belts against the body of the passengers. The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt on the chest of the passenger, so
improving their protection.

The ASR and DSC systems will no longer
act on the engine operation or the brakes
in the event of an involuntary change of
trajectory.
These systems are reactivated automatically
from 30

mph (50

km/h) or every time the
ignition is switched on.
Driving recommendations
Your vehicle is designed principally to
drive on tarmac roads but it allows you to
occasionally drive on other less passable
terrain.
However, it does not permit off-road
driving such as:
-

c

rossing and driving on terrain which
could damage the underbody or strip
away components (fuel pipe, fuel
cooler, etc.) due to obstacles or stones,
in particular,
-
d
riving on terrain with steep gradients
and poor grip,
-

c

rossing a stream.
Safety

177
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.

Gear shift indicator
This system reduces fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Depending on the driving situation and the
equipment of your vehicle, the system can
recommend you to skip one or several gears.
You can follow this instruction without engaging
the intermediate gears.On certain BlueHDi Diesel versions
with manual gearbox, the system
may suggest changing into neutral
(N is displayed in the instrument
panel) so that the engine can go into
standby (STOP mode with Stop &
Start), in certain driving conditions.
Gear engagement recommendations
are only optional.
In fact, the configuration of the road,
the traffic density and safety remain
determining factors when choosing the
best gear.
The gear shift indicator system does not
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver. Example:
-

Y
ou are in third gear.
-

Y
ou press the accelerator pedal.The information appears in the instrument panel in
the form of an arrow.
With a manual gearbox, the arrow may be
accompanied by the gear recommended.
The system adapts its gear change
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 suggests:
-
e

ngaging first gear,
-
enga

ging reverse gear.
This function cannot be deactivated.
-

T
he system may suggest that you engage a
higher gear.
