DRIVING

Going into engine START mode
The "ECO"
warning lamp goes
off and the engine starts with the
electronic gearbox
system
:


- gear lever in position A
or M
, release
the brake pedal,

- or gear lever in position N
and the
brake pedal released, move the
gear lever to position A
or M
,

- or engage reverse gear.

In this case the "ECO"
warning
lamp fl ashes for a few seconds,
then goes off.
Special cases: START invoked
automatically
START mode is invoked automatically when:



- the driver's door is open,

- the driver's seat belt is not fas-
tened,

- the speed of the vehicle exceeds
7 mph (11 km/h) with the electronic
gearbox system,

- the electric parking brake is being
applied,

- some special conditions (battery
charge, engine temperature, brak-
ing assistance, ambient tempera-
ture...) where the engine is needed
for control of a system.

This operation is perfectly normal.





Deactivation

At any time, press the "ECO OFF"
switch
to deactivate the system.
This is confi rmed by the switch warn-
ing lamp coming on accompanied by a
message in the screen.

If the system has been deacti-
vated in STOP mode, the en-
gine restarts immediately.

CHECKS

Brake disc wear














Brake pads

Brake wear depends on the
style of driving, particularly in
the case of vehicles used in
town, over short distances. It
may be necessary to have the
condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.
For information on checking
brake disc wear, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.







Manual gearbox

The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the servicing booklet for
the details of the level checking
interval for this component.







6-speed electronic
gearbox system
The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the checking in-
terval for this component.







Automatic gearbox

The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the level checking
interval for this component. This system does not require any
routine servicing. However, in
the event of a problem, have the
system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
For more information, see "Driving -
Electric parking brake - § Operating
faults".






















Electric parking brake








Particle emission filter (Diesel)

Maintenance of the particle emission fi l-
ter must be carried out by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
On a new vehicle, the fi rst few
particle emissions fi lter regen-
erations may be accompanied
by a "burning" smell, which is perfect-
ly normal. Following prolonged oper-
ation of the vehicle at very low speed
or at idle, you may, in exceptional
circumstances, notice water vapour
from the exhaust on acceleration.
This does not affect the performance
of the vehicle or the environment.


Dust filter/Anti-odour filter
(activated carbon)
Your vehicle is fi tted with a fi lter which
traps certain dust and limits odours in
the ventilation and air conditioning.
Refer to the servicing booklet for its re-
placement interval.
Do not hesitate to change it if you notice
unpleasant odours, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
A clogged passenger compartment fi lter
may reduce the performance of the air
conditioning system and produce un-
pleasant odours.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where
it does not block traffi c: the
ground must be level, stable and
non-slippery ground.
Apply the parking brake unless it
has been programmed to automatic
mode, switch off the ignition and en-
gage fi rst gear * to lock the wheels.
Check that the braking warning lamp
and the P
warning lamp on the park-
ing brake control come on.
If necessary, place a chock under the

The occupants must get out of the ve-
hicle and wait where they are safe.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.

Towing another vehicle
General recommendations

Observe the legislation in force in your
country.
Ensure that the weight of the towing
vehicle is higher than that of the towed
vehicle.
The driver must stay at the wheel of the
towed vehicle.
Driving on motorways and fast roads is
prohibited when towing.
When towing a vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground, always use an
approved towing bar; rope and straps
are prohibited.
When towing a vehicle with the engine
off, there is no longer any power assis-
tance for braking or steering. In the following cases, you must always
call on a professional recovery service:


- vehicle broken down on a motorway
or fast road,

- when it is not possible to put the
gearbox into neutral, unlock the
steering, or release the parking
brake,

- towing with only two wheels on the
ground,

- where there is no approved towing
bar available...

PRACTICAL INFORMATION





TOWING A TRAILER,
A CARAVAN, ETC.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer.

Driving advice

The maximum towed load on a long in-
cline depends on the gradient and the
ambient temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.

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.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a
long mountain type of descent, the use
of engine braking is recommended.

Tyres


)
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.


Lighting


)
Check the electrical lighting and sig-
nalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will
be deactivated automatically if
a genuine PEUGEOT towbar
is used.


)
If the warning lamp and the
STOP
warning lamp come
on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as
soon as possible.

Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional lighting
and signalling.

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 performance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towed load
must be reduced by 10 % for every
1 000 metres of altitude. Driving with a trailer places greater de-
mands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.
We recommend the use of
genuine PEUGEOT towbars
and their harnesses that have
been tested and approved from the
design stage of your vehicle, and that
the fi tting of the towbar is entrusted
to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
If the towbar is not fi tted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative
that it is fi tted in accordance with the
vehicle manufacturer's instructions. Refer to the "Technical Data"
section for details of the weights
and towed loads which apply to
your vehicle.
