Hill start assist
System which keeps your vehicle immobilised temporarily (approximately 2 seconds) when star ting on a gradient, the time it takes to move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal. This system only operates when: - the vehicle is completely stationary, with your foot on the brake pedal, - in par ticular conditions on a slope, - with the driver’s door closed. The hill star t assist system cannot be deactivated.
On an ascending slope, with the vehicle stationary, the vehicle is held for a momentarily when you release the brake pedal: - provided you are in first gear or neutral on a manual gearbox, - provided you are in A or M on an electronic gear control gearbox, - provided you are in D or M on an automatic gearbox.
Operation
On a descending slope, with the vehicle stationar y and reverse gear engaged,the vehicle is held momentarily when you release the brake pedal.
Do not exit the vehicle while it is being held in the hill star t assist phase. If you need to exit the vehicle with the engine running, apply the parking brake manually then ensure that the
parking brake warning lamp (and the warning lamp P in the lever of the electric parking brake) are on fixed (not flashing).
Operating fault
If a fault in the system occurs, these warning lamps come on. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system
checked.

Safety
Dynamic stability control (DSC)
Activation
This system is activated automatically each time the vehicle is star ted. It comes into operation in the event of a grip or trajectory problem.
This is indicated by flashing of this warning lamp in the instrument panel.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (star ting a vehicle which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate the DSC system, so that the wheels can move freely and regain grip.
The DSC system offers exceptional safety in normal driving, but this should not encourage the driver to take extra risks or drive at high speed. The correct operation of the system depends on obser vation of the manufacturer's recommendations regarding the wheels (tyres and rims), the braking components, the electronic components and the PEUGEOT assembly and operation procedures. After an impact, have the system checked by a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the instrument panel screen, this indicates a fault with the system. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop to have the system checked.
Reactivation
The system is reactivated automatically each time the ignition is switched back on or from 30 mph (50 km/h).  Press the "ESP OFF" button again to
reactivate it manually.
 Press the "ESP OFF" button.
This warning lamp and the indicator lamp in the button come on: the DSC system no longer acts on the operation of the engine.

Practical information
1. Sealing
 Switch off the ignition.  Turn the selector A to the "SEALANT" position.  Check that the switch B is in position "O" .
 Uncoil the white pipe G fully.  Unscrew the cap from the white pipe.  Connect the white pipe to the valve of the tyre to be repaired.
 Connect the compressor's electric plug to the vehicle's 12 V socket.  Star t the vehicle and leave the engine running.
Take care, this product is harmful (e.g. ethylene-glycol, colophony...) if swallowed and causes irritation to the eyes. Keep it out of reach of children.
Avoid removing any foreign bodies which have penetrated into the tyre.

Practical information
Removing the cartridge
 Stow the black pipe.  Detach the angled base from the white pipe.  Suppor t the compressor ver tically.  Unscrew the car tridge from the bottom.
Beware of discharges of fluid. The expiry date of the fluid is indicated on the car tridge. The sealant car tridge is designed for
single use; even if only par tly used, it must be replaced. After use, do not discard the car tridge into the environment, take it to an authorised waste disposal site or a PEUGEOT dealer. Do not forget to obtain a new sealant car tridge, available from PEUGEOT dealers or from a qualified workshop.
Checking tyre pressures/
inflating accessories
You can also use the compressor, without injecting any product, to: - check or adjust the pressure of your tyres, - inflate other accessories (balls, bicycle tyres...).
 Turn the selector A to the "Air" position.  Uncoil the black pipe H fully.  Connect the black pipe to the valve of the wheel or accessory. If necessary, fit one of the adaptors supplied with the kit first.
 Connect the compressor's electrical connector to the vehicle's 12 V socket.  Star t the vehicle and let the engine run.  Adjust the pressure using the compressor (to inflate: switch B in position "I" ; to deflate: switch B in position "O" and press button C ), according to the vehicle's tyre pressure label or the accessory's pressure label.  Remove the kit then stow it.

Practical information
 Connect the red cable to the positive terminal (+) of the flat battery A , then to the positive terminal (+) of the slave battery B .
Starting using another
battery
 Disconnect the battery from the vehicle.  Follow the instructions for use provided by the manufacturer of the charger.  Reconnect star ting with the negative terminal (-).  Check that the terminals and connectors are clean. If they are covered with sulphate (whitish or greenish deposit), remove them and clean them.
Charging the battery using
a battery charger
The Stop & Star t battery does not have to be disconnected for charging.
 Connect one end of the green or black cable to the negative terminal (-) of the slave battery B .  Connect the other end of the green or black
cable to the ear th point C on your vehicle (engine mounting).  Operate the star ter, let the engine run.  Wait until the engine returns to idle and
disconnect the cables.

Driving advice
Distribution of loads
 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 per formance. Above 1 000 metres, the maximum towed load must be reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of altitude. Refer to the "Technical Data" section for details of the weights and towed loads which apply to your vehicle.
Side wind
 Take into account the increased sensitivity to side 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.  To lower the engine speed, reduce your speed. The maximum towed load on a long incline depends on the gradient and the ambient temperature. In all cases, keep a check on the coolant temperature.
 If the warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
Tyres
 Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the recommended pressures.
Lighting
 Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a genuine PEUGEOT towbar is used.

Checks
If your vehicle is fitted with an HDI engine, the fuel system must be primed if you run out of fuel; refer to the engine compar tment view on the "Diesel engine" page.
Running out of fuel (Diesel)
If the engine does not star t first time, don't keep trying. Operate the priming pump again, then the star ter motor.
 Fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of diesel.  Open the bonnet.  If necessary, unclip the styling cover for access to the priming pump.  Squeeze and release the priming pump repeatedly until resistance is felt (there may be resistance at the first press).  Operate the star ter until the engine star ts (if the engine does not star t at the first attempt, wait around 15 seconds before trying again).
 If the engine does not star t after a few attempts, operate the priming pump again then star t the engine.  Clip the styling cover back in place.  Close the bonnet.
1.6 litre Turbo HDI engine
 Fill the fuel tank with at least five litres of Diesel.  Open the bonnet.  If necessary, unclip the style cover for access to the priming pump.  Squeeze and release the priming pump repeatedly until fuel appears in the transparent pipe.  Operate the star ter until the engine star ts (if the engine does not star t at the first attempt, wait around 15 seconds before trying again).
 If the engine does not star t after a few attempts, operate the priming pump again then star t the engine.  Put the style cover back in position and clip it in place.  Close the bonnet.
