Go to a PEUGEOT dealer, taking with you the
vehicle's registration certificate, your personal
identification documents and if possible, the
label bearing the key code.
The PEUGEOT dealer will be able to retrieve
the key code and the transponder code
required to order a new key.
Electrical interference
The
K
eyless Entry and Starting remote
control may not operate if close to certain
electronic devices: telephone, laptop
computer, strong magnetic fields, etc.
Remote control
The high frequency remote control is
a sensitive system; do not operate it while it
is in your pocket as there is a possibility that
it may unlock the vehicle, without you being
aware of it.
Do not press the buttons of your remote
control out of range and out of sight of your
vehicle. You may stop it from working and the
remote control would have to be reinitialised.
The remote control does not operate when
the key is in the ignition, even when the
ignition is switched off.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked may make
access to the passenger compartment by
the emergency ser vices more difficult in an
emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on
board), remove the key from the ignition or
take the remote control with you when leaving
the vehicle, even for a
short time.Anti-theft protection
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic engine immobiliser system; this
could cause malfunctions.
Do not forget to turn the steering to engage
the steering lock.
When purchasing a


second-hand vehicle
Have the key codes memorised by
a PEUGEOT dealer, to ensure that the keys in
your possession are the only ones which can
start the vehicle.

Access

99
For the system to activate, the slope must
be greater than 5%.
The system can be used with the gearbox
in neutral.
Otherwise engage a

gear corresponding
to the speed to prevent the engine stalling.
With an automatic gearbox, the system
can be used with the selector at N , D or R.
When the system is regulating, the Active
Safety Brake system is automatically
deactivated.
The system is not available:
-

i
f the speed of the vehicle is above
43
mph (70 km/h),
-

i
f the speed of the vehicle is being
controlled by the Adaptive cruise
control,, depending on the type of
gearbox.
Switching on
By default, the system is not selected.
The system's status is not saved when the
ignition is switched off.
The driver can select the system when
the engine is running, when the vehicle is
stationary or moving at speeds up to 31
mph
(50


km/h). F

A
t a speed below 31 mph
(50 km/h), press this button until
its indicator lamp lights up to
select the system; this indicator
lamp appears in green in the
instrument panel.
F
W
hen the vehicle begins its descent, you
can release the accelerator and brake
pedals; the system regulates the speed:
-
i
f the gearbox is in first or second
gear, the speed decreases and
the indicator lamp flashes rapidly,
-
i
f the gearbox is in neutral or if
the clutch pedal is depressed, the
speed decreases and the warning
lamp flashes slowly; in this case,
the maintained descent speed is
l o w e r. During a
descent, with the vehicle stationary, if
you release the accelerator and brake pedals,
the system will release the brakes to set the
vehicle gradually in motion.
The brake lamps light up automatically when
the system is regulating.
If the speed exceeds 19 mph (30 km/h),
regulation is paused automatically, the indicator
lamp goes back to grey in the instrument panel,
but the indicator lamp in the button remains lit.
Regulation resumes automatically when the
speed falls below 19 mph (30 km/h) again, and
the slope and pedal release conditions are met.
You can depress the accelerator or brake pedal
again at any time.
Switching off
The system becomes active at a speed below
1 9 mph (30 km/h).
F

P
ress this button until its indicator lamp
goes off; the indicator lamp also goes off in
the instrument panel.

Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
t emperature 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
approximately 620


miles (1,000

kilometres).
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o 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.
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid
functions are automatically disabled if an
approved towing system is used.
If the exterior temperature is high, it is
recommended that the engine be allowed
to idle for 1
to 2 minutes after the vehicle
comes to a
stop, to facilitate its cooling.

P
ress the "START/STOP "
button. The warning lamp does not come on if the
engine is already hot. In some climatic
conditions, it is advised to follow the
recommendations below:
-

I
n temperate conditions, do not leave
the engine at idle to warm up but move
off straight away and drive at moderate
speed. D epending on version, if the air
conditioning is activated and when the
exterior temperature exceeds 35°C,
the idle engine speed can accelerate
to reach 1,300
rpm according to the air
conditioning requirements.
-

I
n 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
the correct operation and durability of
the mechanical components of your
vehicle (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 a
manual gearbox, the steering column
unlocks and the engine starts more or less
instantly.
With the EAT8
automatic gearbox, the engine
starts more or less instantly. With Petrol engines
, after a cold start,
preheating the catalytic converter can
cause clearly-felt engine vibrations when
stationary, with the engine running, for
anything up to 2 minutes (accelerated idle
speed).
For Diesel vehicles , in sub-zero
temperatures the engine will not
start until the pre-heater warning
lamp has gone off.
If this warning lamp comes on
after pressing the "START/STOP"
button, press down on the brake
or clutch pedal until the warning
lamp goes off, without pressing
the "START/STOP" button again,
until the engine starts and runs.

If the vehicle is not immobilised, the
engine will not switch off.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
-

o
nly use mats which are suited to the
fixings already present in the vehicle;
these fixings must be used,
-

n
ever place one mat on top of another.
The use of mats not approved by
PEUGEOT may inter fere with access to
the pedals and hinder the operation of the

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,
-

c
ertain slope conditions are met,
-

t
he driver's door is closed.Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held temporarily by hill start assist.
If you need to leave the vehicle with the
engine running, apply the parking brake
manually then ensure that the parking
brake indicator lamp lights up fixed in the
instrument panel.
Malfunction
If the ABS and DSC systems malfunction,
signalled by the illumination of one or both
warning lamps in the instrument panel, then
stability of the vehicle is no longer guaranteed.
In this event, stability must be assured by the
driver by repeating alternate "pull-release"
actions on the control lever until the vehicle is
immobilised. Uphill
, with the vehicle stationary, the vehicle
is held for a
short time when you release the
brake pedal.
