On entering the vehicle, if the interior
temperature is much colder or warmer
than the comfort value, there is no need
to alter the value displayed in order to
obtain the required level of comfort.
The system corrects the temperature
difference automatically and as quickly
as possible.

F Press the "visibility" button for
faster demisting or defrosting
of the windscreen and side
windows.
Switching off Switching on The air conditioning is designed to operate
efficiently in all seasons, with the windows
closed.
It allows you:
-

i
n summer, to lower the temperature,
-
i

Never drive with the parking brake
applied - Risk of overheating and
damage to the braking system!
Do not park or run the engine when
stationary in areas where inflammable
substances and materials (dry grass,
dead leaves...) might come into contact
with the hot exhaust system - Risk of
fire!
Never leave a vehicle unsupervised
with the engine running. If you have
to leave your vehicle with the engine
running, apply the parking brake
and put the gearbox into neutral or
position

N or P, depending on the type
of gearbox.
Driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your
hands on the wheel so that you are ready to
react at any time to any eventuality.
On a long journey, a break every two hours is
strongly recommended.
In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate
the need to brake and increase the distance
from other vehicles. If you are obliged to drive through water:Important!
Driving on flooded roads
- check that the depth of water does not exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves
that might be generated by other users,
-

d
eactivate the Stop & Start system,
-

d
rive as slowly as possible without
stalling. In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph
(10


km/h),
-

d
o not stop and do not switch off the
engine.
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage
to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as
circumstances allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Practical information

208_en_Chap07_informations-pratiques_ed01-2016
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.
For more information on weights (and the
towed loads which apply to your vehicle) refer
to the corresponding section.
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

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 avoid 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 headlamp beam
height of your vehicle.
For more information on adjusting the
headlamp beam height, refer to the
corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a genuine
PEUGEOT towbar is used.
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.
F 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.
