StateCauseAction/Observations
Diesel engine pre-heatingfixed. The START/STOPswitch has been
pressed (ignition on). Wait until the warning lamp goes off before star ting.
The period of illumination of the warning lamp is determined bythe ambient conditions (up to about thir ty seconds in extreme
conditions).
If the engine does not star t, switch the ignition off and then on,
wait until the warning lamp goes off again, then start the engine.
Parking brakefixed. The parking brake is applied or not
properly released. Release the parking brake to switch off the warning lamp,keeping your foot on the brake pedal.
Obser ve the safety recommendations.
For fur ther information on the parking brake, refer to the "Driving"section.
Deactivation of the automatic functions of the electric parkingbrake
fixed. The "automatic application" (on switching off the engine) and"automatic release" functions are
deactivated or faulty. Activate the function
(according to country) via the vehicle configuration menu or contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop if automatic application/release is not possible.
The parking brake can be released manually using theemergency release procedure.
For more information on the electric parking brake, refer to the "Driving" section.
Foot on thebrake pedalfixed. The brake pedal is not pressed. Press the brake pedal to star t the hybrid system (lever in position N).

Practical information
Driving advice
Distribution of loads
)Distribute the load in the trailer so that theheaviest 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 b
y 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
To w i ng a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electricall
y 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 STOPwarning lamp come on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
Braking
To w i ng a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a longmountain type of descent, the use of engine braking is recommended.
Tyres
)Check the tyre pressures of the towingvehicle 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.
