operate the engine pre-heating system. The warning lamp does not come on
if the engine is 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

conditioning is activated and when the
exterior temperature exceeds 35°C,
the idle engine speed can accelerate

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 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).
If the engine does not start straight away,
switch off the ignition.
Wait a
few seconds before restarting the
engine. If the engine does not start after
several attempts, do not keep trying: you
risk damaging the starter motor or the
engine.
Call in a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.

-

o
nly use mats which are suited to the
fixings already present in the vehicle;

-

The use of mats not approved by
PEUGEOT may inter fere with access to
the pedals and hinder the operation of the
cruise control/speed limiter.
