brake light PEUGEOT EXPERT 2018 Owners Manual

8
As a passenger, if you avoid connecting your
multimedia devices (film, music, video game
etc.), you will contribute towards limiting the
consumption of electrical energy, and so of
fuel.
Disconnect your portable devices before
leaving the vehicle.
Eco- driving
Eco-driving is a range of everyday practices that allow the motorist to optimise their fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Optimise the use of your
gearbox
With a manual gearbox, move off gently
and change up without waiting. During
acceleration, change up early.
With an automatic gearbox, favour automatic
mode and avoid pressing the accelerator
pedal heavily or suddenly.
The gear shift indicator invites you to engage
the most suitable gear: as soon as the
indication is displayed in the instrument panel,
follow it straight away.
For vehicles fitted with an automatic gearbox,
this indicator appears only in manual mode.
Drive smoothly
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles,
use engine braking rather than the
brake pedal, and press the accelerator
progressively. These practices contribute
towards a reduction in fuel consumption and
CO
2 emissions and also help reduce the
background traffic noise.
If your vehicle has cruise control, make use of
the system at speeds above 25
mph (40 km/h)
when the traffic is flowing well.
Control the use of your electrical
equipment
Before moving off, if the passenger
compartment is too warm, ventilate it by
opening the windows and air vents before
using the air conditioning.
Above 30
mph (50 km/h), close the windows
and leave the air vents open.
Consider using equipment that can help
keep the temperature in the passenger
compartment down (sunroof blind and window
blinds, etc.). Switch off the headlamps and front foglamps
when the ambient light level does not require
their use.
Avoid running the engine before moving off,
particularly in winter; your vehicle will warm up
much faster while driving. Unless it has automatic regulation, switch off
the air conditioning as soon as the desired
temperature has been reached.
Switch off the demisting and defrosting
controls, if these are not automatically
managed.
Switch off the heated seat as soon as
possible.
Eco-driving

146
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

176
Driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your
hands on the wheel so that you are ready to
react at any time to any eventuality.
As a safety measure, the driver should only
carry out any operations that require close
attention when the vehicle is stationary.
On a long journey, a break every two hours is
strongly recommended.
In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate
the need to brake and increase the distance
from other vehicles.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage
to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle.
Important!
Never drive with the parking brake
applied – Risk of overheating and damage
to the braking system!
As the exhaust system of your vehicle
is very hot, even several minutes after
switching off the engine, never park or run
the engine on inflammable sur faces (dry
grass, fallen leaves, etc.): Risk of fire!
Never leave a vehicle unsuper vised with
the engine running. If you have to leave
your vehicle with the engine running, apply
the parking brake and put the gearbox into
neutral or position N or P, depending on
the type of gearbox.
To assure the durability of your vehicle and
your safety, remember that certain precautions,
described hereafter, should be taken when
driving your vehicle:
If you are obliged to drive through water:
-

c

heck that the depth of water does not
exceed 15

cm, taking account of waves that
might be generated by other users,
-

d

eactivate the Stop & Start system,
-

d

rive as slowly as possible without stalling.
Under no circumstances exceed 6

mph
(10


km/h),
-

d

o not stop and do not switch off the engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as
circumstances allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt about the state of your vehicle,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Driving

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.

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.

Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
stops in traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc.). The
engine restarts automatically – START mode –
as soon as you want to move off.
The restart takes place instantly, quickly and
silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.
Going into engine
STOP mode
For your convenience during parking
manoeuvres, STOP mode is not available
for a few seconds after coming out of
reverse gear.
The Stop & Start does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as for
example, braking, power steering, etc.
A slight delay between the vehicle
stopping and the engine cutting out may
be noticed.Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition.
With a manual gearbox , when vehicle speed
is below 12 mph (20 km/h) or the vehicle is
stationary (depending on engine), the Stop &
Start warning lamp comes on in the instrument
panel and the engine goes into standby
automatically when you place the gear lever in
neutral and you release the clutch pedal.
With an automatic gearbox , vehicle
stationary, the Stop & Start warning lamp
on the instrument panel comes on and the
engine goes into standby automatically when
you press the brake pedal or place the gear
selector in position N .
With an electronic gearbox , vehicle speed
below 5 mph (8 km/h), the Stop & Start warning
lamp on the instrument panel comes on and the
engine goes into standby automatically when
you press the brake pedal or place the gear
selector in position N .
Stop & Start time counter
or(minutes/seconds or hours/minutes)
Special cases: STOP mode
not available
STOP mode is not invoked in certain temporary
conditions (examples: battery charge, engine
temperature, braking assistance, exterior
temperature) to assure correct operation of the
system and mainly when:
-

t
he vehicle is on a steep slope (uphill or
downhill),
-

t
he driver's door is open,
-

a s
liding side door is open,
-

t
he driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-

t
he vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(10
km/h) since the last engine start by the
driver,
-

t
he electric parking brake is applied or being
applied,
-

t
he engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment,
-
d

emisting/defrosting is active.
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start, a time
counter adds up the time spent in STOP mode
during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is
switched on.
Driving

221
Operation of the system may be felt by
slight vibration in the brake pedal.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop,
the automatic braking is maintained for
1 to 2 seconds.
With a manual gearbox, in the event of
automatic emergency braking until the
vehicle comes to a complete stop, the
vehicle may stall.
With an automatic gearbox, in the event
of automatic emergency braking until the
vehicle comes to a complete stop, keep
the brake pedal pressed down to prevent
the vehicle from starting off again.
If automatic emergency braking is not
activated, you are alerted by the fixed
display of the warning lamp accompanied
by a message.
Intelligent emergency braking
assistance
If the driver does not brake sufficiently
to avoid an accident, this system will
complete the braking.
This emergency braking system will not
act if you press the brake pedal.
Deactivation/Activation of the
alert and the braking
By default, the function is automatically
activated at every engine start.
The deactivation or activation of the function is
done in the vehicle configuration menu.
With audio system
Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the
system, you are alerted by the
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by the display of a
message and an audible signal.
If the fault persists, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop to have the system
checked. If one of the two sensors (camera or radar)
is masked or its visibility is reduced, while
the other sensor is able to work normally,
the system still operates, but at a lower
level of per formance. No message or
warning lamp indicates this.
To ensure correct operation of the radar,
do not paint over the paintwork on the
vehicle's bumper.
Poor weather conditions (very heavy
rain, accumulation of snow in front of the
radar and the camera) may hinder the
operation of the system, with the display of
an operating fault message. The function
remains unavailable until the message
disappears.
In the "
Personalisation-
configuration " menu, activate/
deactivate " Auto. emergency
braking ".
With touch screen
In the "Driving/Vehicle " menu,
activate/deactivate " Collision risk
alert and automatic braking ".

Brake disc wear
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a PEUGEOT or a
qualified workshop.
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of units
as important as those in the braking
system, PEUGEOT selects and offers very
specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness, or
in wintry conditions, ice can form on the
brake discs and pads: braking efficiency
may be reduced. Make light brake
applications to dry and defrost the brakes.
AdBlue® (BlueHDi
engines)
To respect the environment and ensure
compliance with the new Euro 6
standard,
without adversely affecting the performance or
fuel consumption of Diesel engines, PEUGEOT
has taken the decision to equip its vehicles
with a system that associates SCR (Selective
Catalytic Reduction) with a particle filter (DPF)
for the treatment of exhaust gases.
SCR system
By using a fluid called AdBlue® containing
urea, a catalytic converter turns up to 85%
of nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and
water, which are harmless to health and the
environment.
The AdBlue
® is contained in
a special tank holding about
22


litres.
Its capacity allows a driving range of around
6,000-9,000


miles (10,000-15,000

km). An
alert system is triggered automatically when
the remaining range reaches 1,500


miles
(2,400

km), i.e. once the reser ve level has been
reached.
Several alerts are triggered successively during
the remaining 1,500

miles (2,400 km) before
the tank is empty.
If the estimated distance travelled by your
vehicle between two ser vices is greater than
12,000

miles (20,000

km), it will be necessary
to top up the AdBlue.
