Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the
bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof
bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). u
s
e a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations on
maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in
the door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-

b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter,
passenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of
operations recommended in the manufacturer's service schedule.
With a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system is faulty your vehicle
becomes polluting; go to a P
e

uge
Ot
dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay to have the emissions of nitrous oxides brought back to
the legal level.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
avoid any over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles
(3
000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to
a consistent average.

Eco-driving

When towing
Distribution of loads
F 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.
Side wind
F 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.
F
t
o l
ower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
th

e 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.
F

I
f 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 a void overheating of the brakes, the use of
engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the hadlamp beam height
of your vehicle.
For more information on adjusting the
headlamp beam height, refer to the
corresponding section.
For more information on weights (and
the towed loads which apply to your
vehicle) refer to the corresponding
section.
th

e rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a genuine
P
e

uge
Ot
towbar is used.

the alert is given by a warning lamp which
comes on in the door mirror on the side in
question as soon as a vehicle - car, lorry,
bicycle - is detected and the following
conditions are fulfilled:
-
a
ll the vehicles must be moving in the
same direction and on adjacent lanes,
-

t
he speed of your vehicle is between 7 and
87 mph (12 and 140 km/h),
-

w
hen you overtake a vehicle with a speed
difference of less than 6 mph (10 km/h),
-

w
hen a vehicle overtakes you with a speed
difference of less than 15 mph (25 km/h),
-

t
he traffic must be flowing normally,
-

i
n the case of an overtaking manoeuvre,
if this is prolonged and the vehicle being
overtaken remains in the blind spot,
-

y
ou are driving on a straight or slightly
curved road,
-

y
our vehicle is not pulling a trailer, a
caravan... No alert will be given in the following situations:
-

i
n the presence of immobile objects
(parked vehicles, barriers, street lamps,
road signs...),
-

w
ith vehicles moving in the opposite
direction,
-

d
riving on a sinuous road or a sharp
c o r n e r, -

w
hen overtaking (or being overtaken by) a
very long vehicle (lorry, coach...) which is
at the same time detected at the rear in the
blind spot angle and present in the driver's
forward field of vision,
-

i
n very heavy traffic: vehicles detected in
front and behind are confused with a lorry
or an immobile object,
-

w
hen overtaking quickly.

recommendations).

Contact a Pe ugeOt dealer or a qualified
workshop. In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered with
mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is
engaged, an audible signal (long beep)
indicates that the sensors may be dirty.
Certain sound sources (motorcycle,

towing a trailer
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 fitting of the towbar is
entrusted to a P
e

uge
Ot
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by a
P
e

uge
Ot
dealer, it must still be
fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it may
also be used for towing a trailer.
Blanking cover
When towing, you must remove the blanking
cover if your vehicle has one.
Contact a P
e

uge
Ot
dealer or a qualified
workshop for this. Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.
th

e cover is located behind the lower
air intake grille.
For more information on weights (and
the towed loads which apply to your
vehicle) refer to the corresponding
section.
GTi towbar
Your vehicle cannot be fitted with a
towbar. For more advice on driving when
towing, refer to the corresponding
section.

each additional 1 000 metres of altitude.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) when towing (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the per formance of the vehicle to protect the engine; if the ambient temperature is above 37 °C,
limit the towed load.
