CHECK (vehicle autotest)
Automatic CHECK
With the key in the ignition on position, all of the warning lamps for the functions tested are displayed. They are switched off after a few seconds. At the same time, an automatic CHECK (vehicle autotest) is carried out.
In the presence of a fault
A "minor" fault has been detected: the warning lamp(s) are displayed then go off. You can start your vehicle; however, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop as soon as possible. A "major" fault has been detected: the associated warning lamps(s) remain on accompanied by the STOP or SERVICE warning lamp. Do not start your vehicle. Call a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop without delay.
Manual CHECK
Pressing the "CHECK" button on the instrument panel starts the manual CHECK (vehicle autotest). This function enables you to recall at any time (with the key in the ignition on position or with the engine running), the alerts present.
The passenger's airbag deactivated warning lamp * remains on while the airbag is deactivated.
With the engine running and the vehicle
moving, the instrument panel displays the warning lamps (in the event of a fault).
If no "major" fault is found, you can start your vehicle.
Lighting dimmer control
With the headlamps on, press button B to increase the brightness of the instruments and controls and the interior mood lighting or button A to reduce it. As soon as the lighting reaches the required level of brightness, release the button.

Driving
It is recommended that you do not apply the parking brake in very cold conditions (ice) and during towing (breakdown, caravan...). Deactivate the automatic functions and release the parking brake manually.
Before leaving the vehicle, check that parking brake warning lamps in the instrument panel and the control lever Aare on, not flashing.
The electric parking brake combines 2 operating modes: - Automatic Application/Release Application is automatic when the engine stops, release is automatic on use of the accelerator (this mode is activated by default), - Manual Application/Release
Manual application of the parking brake is done by pulling control lever A. Manual release is done by pushing and releasing the control lever, while pressing the brake pedal. When the driver's door is opened, there is an audible signal and a message is displayed if the brake is not applied.
Programming the mode
Depending on the country of sale of the vehicle, the automatic application when the engine is switched off and the automatic release when you press the accelerator can be deactivated.
With the vehicle stationary, to apply the parking brake whether the engine is running or off, pullcontrol lever A .
Manual application
Activation / deactivation is done via the menu in the instrument panel screen.
The parking brake is then applied and released manually.
The application of the parking brake is confirmed by:
- lighting of the braking warning lamp and of the P warning lamp in the control lever A ,
- display of the message "Parking brake on".
When the driver’s door is opened with the engine running, there is an audible signal and a message is displayed if the parking brake has not been applied, unless the gear lever is in position P (Park) in the case of an automatic gearbox.
Electric parking brake
If this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, the automatic mode is deactivated.

Practical information
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.
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. To avoid overheating of the brakes on a long mountain type of descent, the use of engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
 Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing 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.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for details of the weights and towed loads which apply to your vehicle.
