Driving
6Before setting off
Nose weight
► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the 
heaviest items are as close as possible to the 
axle and the nose weight (at the point where it 
joins your vehicle) approaches the maximum 
permitted without exceeding it.
Tyres
► Check the tyre pressures of the towing 
vehicle and of the trailer , observing the 
recommended pressures.
Lighting
► Check the electrical signalling on the trailer 
and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.
If a genuine PEUGEOT towing device is 
used, the rear parking sensors will be 
deactivated automatically to avoid the audible 
signal.
When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill increases the temperature 
of the coolant. The maximum towable load 
depends on the gradient and the exterior 
temperature. The cooling capacity of the fan 
does not increase with engine speed.
►
 
Reduce speed and lower the engine speed, 
so as to limit the heating-up. In all cases, pay attention to the coolant 
temperature.
If this warning lamp and the 
STOP 
warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle 
and switch off the engine as soon as possible.
Brakes
Braking distances are increased when towing a 
trailer. To avoid overheating of the brakes, the 
use of engine braking is recommended.
Side wind
Bear in mind the increased susceptibility to the 
wind that the vehicle will have.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The remote control contains an electronic chip 
which has a special code. When the ignition is 
switched on, this code must be recognised in 
order for starting to be possible.
A few seconds after switching off the ignition, 
this system locks the engine control system, 
therefore preventing the engine from being 
started in the event of a break-in.
In the event of a fault, you are informed 
by illumination of this warning lamp, an 
audible signal and a message on the screen.
The vehicle will not start; contact a PEUGEOT 
dealer as soon as possible.
Starting/switching off the 
engine

Driving
► Unlock the steering column by simultaneously 
turning the steering wheel and the key.
In certain circumstances, you may have 
to turn the steering wheel firmly to move 
the wheels (if the wheels are against a kerb, 
for example).
►
 
T
urn the key to position 2, Ignition On, to 
activate the engine pre-heating system.
► Wait until this warning lamp goes off in 
the instrument panel, then turn the key to 
position  3 without pressing the accelerator pedal, 
to operate the starter motor until the engine 
starts. As soon as the engine starts, release the 
key.
The warning lamp does not come on if  the engine is already warm. In some 
climatic conditions, the following 
recommendations should be followed:
–
 
In mild conditions, do not leave the engine 
at idle to warm up but move off straight away 
and drive at moderate speed.
–
 
Depending on version, if the air 
conditioning is activated and the exterior 
temperature exceeds 35 °C, the engine’
s 
idle speed may increase, up to 1,300 rpm, 
depending on the cooling requirements.
–
 
In wintry conditions, the pre-heater warning 
lamp will stay on for a longer period after 
switching on the ignition; wait until it goes off 
before starting.
– In  very severe wintry 
conditions  (temperature below -23   °C), to 
ensure correct operation and durability of your 
vehicle’s mechanical components (engine 
and gearbox),  leave the engine running for 
4 minutes before moving off.
Never leave the engine running in an 
enclosed area without adequate ventilation: 
internal combustion engines emit toxic 
exhaust gases, such as carbon monoxide. 
Danger of poisoning and death!
With petrol engines , after a cold start, 
pre-heating the catalytic converter can 
cause clearly-felt engine vibrations when 
stationary, with the engine running, for 
anything up to 2 minutes (accelerated idle 
speed).
If the engine does not start straight away, 
switch off the ignition.
Wait a few seconds before operating the 
starter motor again. If the engine does not 
start after several attempts, do not keep 
trying: you risk damaging the starter motor 
and the engine.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals: –  only use mats which are suited to the 
fixings already present in the vehicle; these 
fixings must be used,
–
 
never place one mat on top of another
 .
The use of mats not approved by PEUGEOT 
may interfere with access to the pedals and 
hinder the operation of the cruise control / 
speed limiter.
The mats approved by PEUGEOT have two 
fixings located below the seat.
