Driving
You must press the brake pedal when star ting the engine.
Whatever the circumstances, you mustmanually apply the parking brake when parking, unless the parking brake is programmed in automatic mode.
When immobilising the vehicle, with the hybrid system active, you must place the gear selector in neutral N
.Before carrying out any work in the engine compar tment, check that the gear selector is in neutral N
and that the
parking brake is applied.
Stopping the vehicle
With the ignition on, theflashing of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the instrument panelscreen, indicates a malfunction of the gearbox.
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. Be
fore switching off the engine, you can
choose to:
- move to position N
to engage neutral,
- leave the gear engaged; in this case, it will
not be possible to move the vehicle.
In both cases,
you should apply the parking brake to immobilise the vehicle.
Operating fault
This function facilitates manoeuvring of the
vehicle at low speed (when parking, in traffic jams, …).
With the hybrid system active and the parkingbrake released, if position A
, M
or Risselected, the vehicle moves as soon as you
take your foot off the brake pedal (even without
any action on the accelerator).
Creep function (moving
without the accelerator
)
Never leave children unsuper vised in the vehicle with the hybrid system active.
For

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.
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.
R
efer to the "Technical data" section for details
of the weights and towed loads which apply to your vehicle.
