 HILL  START  ASSIST 
 This system (also called HHC - Hill Holder 
Control), linked to the dynamic stability 
control system, makes hill starts easier and 
is activated in the following conditions: 
   -   the vehicle must be stationary, engine running, foot on the brake, 
  -   the gradient of the road must be steeper  than 5%, 
  -   uphill, the gearbox must be in neutral or  in a gear other than reverse, 
  -   downhill, reverse gear must be engaged.  
 The Hill Start Assist function is a driving 
aid system. It is not an automatic vehicle 
parking function or an automatic parking 
brake.   Operation 
 With the brake pedal and clutch pedal 
pressed, from the time you release the brake 
pedal you have approximately 2 seconds 
before the vehicle starts to roll back and 
without using the parking brake within which 
to move off. 
 During the moving off phase, the function 
is deactivated automatically, gradually 
releasing the braking pressure. During 
this phase, the characteristic noise of 
mechanical release of the brakes may be 
heard, indicating the imminent movement of 
the vehicle. 
  Operating  fault 
 If a malfunction of the system 
occurs, this warning lamp comes 
on accompanied by an audible 
signal and confi rmed by a message 
in the screen. Have the system checked by at 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.    Hill start assist is deactivated in the following 
situations: 
   -   when the clutch pedal is released, 
  -   when the parking brake is applied, 
  -   when the engine is switched off, 
  -   when  the  engine  stalls.

READY TO SET OFF
  Going into engine START mode    -   The   "S"  warning lamp goes off and the engine restarts.  
 If following an automatic restart in START 
mode, the driver takes no action on the 
the vehicle during the next  3 minutes, the 
system stops the engine definitively. The 
engine can then only be restarted using 
the  key.     Special cases: START invoked 
automatically 
 The START mode is invoked automatically 
when: 
   -   the vehicle's is free wheeling on a slope, 
  -   the windscreen wiper is on fast wipe, 
  -   the air conditioning is running, 
  -   the engine has been stopped for around 
3 minutes with Stop & Start, 
  -   some special conditions (battery charge,  engine temperature, braking assistance, 
ambient temperature...) where the 
engine is needed to assure control of 
a  system.   
  In this case, a message appears 
in the instrument panel screen, 
accompanied by the   "S"   warning 
lamp, which flashes for a few 
seconds, then goes off.   Good  practice 
  With a manual gearbox in STOP mode, if a 
gear is engaged without fully depressing the 
clutch pedal, restarting may not take place. 
 A warning lamp or message is displayed 
in the instrument panel asking you to fully 
depress the clutch pedal to allow restarting. 
 With the engine stopped in STOP mode, 
if the driver unfasten's their seat belt and 
opens a front door, the engine can only be 
restarted using the ignition key. There is an 
audible signal, accompanied by flashing of 
the   "S"  warning lamp and, depending on 
equipment, a message is displayed.   
  This operation is perfectly normal.     
 With the vehicle in gear, automatic engine 
restarting is only allowed by fully depressing 
the clutch pedal.

 CRUISE  CONTROL 
 "This is the speed at which the driver wishes 
to drive". 
 This aid to driving in free-flowing traffic 
enables the vehicle to maintain the speed 
programmed by the driver, unless a steep 
gradient makes this impossible.  In order for it to be programmed or 
activated, the vehicle speed must be greater 
than 25 mph (40 km/h) with at least 4th gear 
engaged on the manual gearbox.  This cruise control shows the status of the 
system in the instrument panel screen and 
displays the programmed speed: 
 Function  selected, 
 displaying of the "Cruise 
Control" indicator light. 
 Function  deactivated, 
  OFF  (example at 
107 km/h). 
 Function  activated 
 (example at 107 km/h). 
 Vehicle speed above 
(e.g. 118 km/h), 
 the programmed speed 
is displayed flashing. 
 Operating fault detected, 
  OFF  - the dashes flash.

ACCESSORIES
   Transport  solutions   
  Distribution of loads:  distribute the load in 
the trailer so that the heaviest objects are as 
close as possible to the axle and the nose 
weight is close to the maximum authorised 
without, however, exceeding it. 
  Driving  advice 
 A towed vehicle must free wheel: gearbox in 
neutral. 
  Cooling:  towing a trailer on a slope 
increases the coolant temperature. 
 As the fan is electrically controlled, its 
cooling capacity is not dependent on the 
engine speed. 
 On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the 
engine speed and reduce your speed. 
 In all cases, pay attention to the coolant 
temperature.    Tyres:  check the tyre pressures of the 
towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing 
the recommended pressures. 
  Fitting  a  towbar 
 We recommend the use of genuine 
PEUGEOT towbars and their harnesses, 
which have been tested and approved from 
the design stage of your vehicle and that 
the fitting of this equipment is entrusted to a 
PEUGEOT dealer. 
 These genuine towbars are compatible with 
the operation of the rear parking sensors 
and the reversing camera, if fitted to your 
vehicle. 
 If this equipment is not fitted by a PEUGEOT 
dealer, it must be fitted in line with the 
manufacturer's  instructions.  
  Good  practice 
 In certain cases of particularly arduous 
use (towing the maximum load up a steep 
slope in high temperatures), the engine 
automatically limits its power. In this 
case, the automatic cutting off of the air 
conditioning allows the engine power to be 
recovered. 
 If the coolant temperature 
warning lamp comes on, stop the 
vehicle and switch off the engine 
as soon as possible. 
 Refer to the "Checks - Levels and 
checks" section. 
  Brakes:  towing increases the braking 
distance. Drive at a moderate speed, 
change down early and brake gradually.    Side wind:  sensitivity to side wind is 
increased. Drive smoothly and at a 
moderate speed. 
  ABS:  the system only controls the vehicle, 
not the trailer. 
  Rear parking sensors:  the system does not 
operate while the vehicle is towing.  
 Refer to the "Technical data - 
Identification markings" section.

CHECKS
  Manual  gearbox 
 Have the level checked in accordance with 
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.  
  Good  practice 
 To check the main levels and certain 
components, in accordance with the 
manufacturer's servicing schedule, refer to 
the pages of the warranty and maintenance 
record which correspond to your vehicle's 
engine. 
 Only use products recommended by 
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent quality 
and specification. 
 In order to optimise the operation of units as 
important as the braking system, PEUGEOT 
selects and offers specific products. 
  Oil  filter 
 Change the filter regularly, in accordance 
with the manufacturer's servicing schedule.  
  Brake  pads 
 Brake pad wear depends on the style of 
driving, in particular for vehicles which are 
used in town, over short distances. It may 
be necessary to check the thickness of the 
pads, even between services. 
  Brake  disc/drum wear status 
 For any information relating to checking 
the brake disc/drum wear status, contact a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.  
  Parking  brake 
 Where the parking brake travel is too great 
or there is a reduction in the performance 
of the system, the parking brake should be 
adjusted, even between services. 
 Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.  
 If this warning lamp comes on, 
have the brake pad wear checked 
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified  workshop.    In order to avoid damaging the 
electrical units, high pressure washing 
to clean the engine compartment is strictly 
prohibited. 
 After washing the vehicle dampness, or in 
winter, ice may form on the brake discs and 
pads: braking efficiency may be reduced. 
Make some light brake applications to dry 
and de-ice the brakes.

 TOWING 
  Towing  the  vehicle 
 The removable towing eye is located in the 
tool box under the front passenger seat. 
 Unclip the cover using a flat tool. 
 Screw the removable towing eye in fully. 
 Attach the approved towing bar to to the 
removable towing eye. 
 Place the gear lever in neutral. 
  Towing  another vehicle 
 The fixed towing eye is located on the right 
below the bumper. 
 Attach the approved towing bar onto the 
fixed  eye.  
  Failure to observe this requirement 
may result in damage to certain braking 
components and the lack of some braking 
assistance systems when the engine is re-
started.   
  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 remain at the wheel of the 
towed vehicle and must have a valid driving 
licence. 
 When towing a vehicle with all four wheels 
on the ground, always use an approved 
towing bar; rope and straps are prohibited. 
 The towing vehicle must move off gently. 
 When towing a vehicle with the engine off, 
there is no longer any power assistance 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, 
  -   four-wheel  drive  vehicle, 
  -   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...
