Driving recommendations
Obser ve the Highway Code 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 bad weather, drive smoothly, anticipate the
need to brake and increase the safety distance.
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!
Do not park and do not run the engine
with the vehicle stationary, in areas where
substances and combustible materials
(dry grass, leaves, etc.) can come into
contact with the hot exhaust system – 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.
In case of towing
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 function,
-

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 with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.
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.

Driving

104
In some cases of particularly demanding use
(when towing the maximum load on a steep
gradient in high temperatures), the engine
power is automatically limited. In such a case,
the air conditioning is automatically switched
off to increase the available engine power.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 620
miles (1,000 kilometres).
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 adjusting
the Headlamp beam
, 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.
Starting and stopping
Running and accessories position.
To unlock the steering, turn the steering wheel
gently while turning the key, without forcing. In
this position, certain accessories can be used. Starting position.

or the bonnet is not closed correctly.
Please check!Diesel engines
If the temperature is high enough,
the warning lamp comes on for
less than a second, you can start
without waiting.
In cold weather, wait for this warning lamp to go
off then operate the starter (starting position)
until the engine starts.
When switching off the ignition, let the

Electronic engine
immobiliser
All of the keys contain an electronic immobiliser
device.
This device locks the engine supply system.
It is activated automatically when the key is
removed from the ignition.
When the ignition switch is turned on, a
dialogue is set up between the key and the
electronic immobiliser.
The metal part of the key must be correctly
unfolded to ensure a good connection.
In case of lost keys
See a PEUGEOT dealer with the vehicle
registration certificate and your ID.
A PEUGEOT dealer can retrieve the key
code and the transponder code to order the
replacement key.
When you leave the vehicle, check that the
lamps are off and do not leave valuables
visible.
As a safety precaution (with children on
board), remove the key from the ignition when
leaving the vehicle, even for a short time.
Parking brake
Application
F Pull the parking brake lever up to immobilise your vehicle.
F

C
heck that the parking brake is applied
firmly before leaving the vehicle.
When parking on a slope, turn your
wheels towards the kerb and pull the
parking brake lever up.
There is no advantage in engaging a gear
after parking the vehicle, particularly if the
vehicle is loaded. Apply the parking brake only when the
vehicle is stationary
.
In the exceptional case of use of the
parking brake when the vehicle is moving,
apply the brake by pulling gently to avoid
locking the rear wheels (risk of skidding).
Release
F Pull the lever up slightly and press the button to release the parking brake lever.
When the vehicle is being driven, this
warning lamp coming on indicates
that the parking brake is still on or
has not been fully released.

ever fit one mat on top of another.
When driving, avoid leaving your hand on the
gear knob as the force exerted, even if slight,
may wear the internal components of the
gearbox over time.

Operating faults
Sensor fault
The operation of the laser sensor may suffer
inter ference from accumulations of dirt or
misting of the windscreen. In this case you are
warned by the display of a message.
Use windscreen demisting and regularly clean
the area of the windscreen in front of the
sensor. Do not stick or other wise attach any object
on the windscreen in front of the sensor.
System fault
In the event of a malfunction of the system, you
are warned by an audible signal and the display
of the message " Automatic braking system
fault ".
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
In the event of an impact to the
windscreen at the sensor, deactivate the
system and contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop
to have your
windscreen replaced. Do not attempt to remove, adjust or test
the sensor.
Only a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop is able to work on the system.
When towing a trailer or when the vehicle
is being towed, the system must be
deactivated.
Parking sensors
The audible (front and rear) and/or visual (rear)
parking sensor system consists of proximity
sensors installed in the bumpers.
They detect any obstacle which enters the
field of vision (person, vehicle, tree, fence,
etc.) behind or in front of the vehicle during the
manoeuvre.
Driving

124
The system will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed or if
a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with
a towbar or bicycle carrier recommended
by PEUGEOT).
The parking sensor system cannot in
any circumstances replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.
Reversing camera
The image is displayed in the touch screen.
The reversing camera function may be
supplemented with parking sensors.The reversing camera cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver. The representation with overlaid lines helps
with the manoeuvre.
They are represented as lines marked "on the
ground" and do not indicate the position of tall
obstacles (for example: other vehicles, etc.)
relative to the vehicle.
Some distortion of the image is normal.
Blue lines represent the general direction of the
vehicle (the distance between them represents
the width of your vehicle without the door
m i r r o r s).
The red line represents a distance of about
30
cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear
b u m p e r.
The green lines represent distances of about 1
and 2
metres beyond the edge of your vehicle's
rear bumper.
The turquoise blue cur ves represent the
maximum turning circle.
Opening the tailgate will cause the display
to disappear.
High pressure washing
When washing your vehicle, do not direct
the lance from less than 30
cm from the
lens of the camera.
Clean the reversing camera regularly
using a soft, dry cloth.
It is advisable to deactivate the system if
your vehicle is fitted with a rear ladder or if
you are transporting a load longer than the
length of the vehicle.
The reversing camera is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.

Load distribution
F D istribute 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
load which can be towed must be reduced by
10% per 1,000
metres of altitude.
Use towing devices and their original
harnesses approved by PEUGEOT. It
is recommended that the installation be
per formed by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the towing device is not fitted by
a PEUGEOT dealer, it must still be
fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Certain driving assistance or manoeuvring
assistance functions are automatically
deactivated if an approved towbar is used. Obser ve the maximum authorised towable
weight, indicated on your vehicle's
registration certificate, the manufacturer's
label and in the Technical data
section of
this guide.
Complying with the maximum
authorised nose weight (towball)
also includes the use of accessories
(bicycle carriers, tow boxes, etc.).
Obser ve the legislation in force in the
country in which you are driving.
