A few driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations at all times 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.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 on flooded roads
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.
Important!If you are obliged to drive through water:
-

c
heck 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.
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 P
e

uge
Ot
dealer or a qualified workshop.

the engine starts, release the
key.
In wintry conditions, the pre-heater warning
lamp will stay on for a longer period.
When the engine is hot, the warning lamp
does not come on.
In temperate conditions, do not leave
the engine running to warm up, but set
off straight away and drive at moderate
speed. If the engine does not start straight
away, switch off the ignition.
Wait a few moments before trying
again. If the engine does not start after
a few attempts, do not keep trying: you
risk damaging the starter motor and the
engine.

Driving advice
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 on a long
mountain type of descent, 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.
Refer to the "
te

chnical data" section for
details of the weights and towed loads
which apply to your vehicle.
th

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

uge
Ot
towbar is used.
