speed.
Programming a speed
A speed can be programmed without activating
the limiter but with the engine running.
to memorise a speed higher than the
previous
one:
- press the SET + button.
A brief press increases the speed
by
1 mph (km/h).
A maintained press increases the speed in
steps of 5 mph (km/h).
to memorise a speed lower than the previous
one:
- press the SET - button.
A brief press decreases the speed
by
1 mph (km/h).
A maintained press decreases the speed in
steps of 5 mph (km/h).
Activation / Deactivation
Pressing this button once activates
the limiter, pressing the button again
deactivates it (OFF).

Good practice
For maximum cooling or heating of the
passenger compartment, it is possible
to exceed the value 15 by turning until
LO is displayed or the value 27 by
turning until HI is displayed.
On entering the vehicle, the inside
temperature may be much colder (or
warmer) than is comfortable.
t
here is
no advantage in changing the value
displayed in order to quickly reach the
level of comfort required.
t
he system
will use its maximum performance to
reach the comfort value set.

t
he value indicated in the screen
corresponds to a level of comfort and
not a temperature in degrees Celsius
or Fahrenheit.
turn this control to the left
or to the right to decrease or
increase the value.
A setting
around the value 21 provides
optimum comfort. However,
depending on your requirements, a
setting between 18 and 24 is usual.
Do not cover the sunshine sensor
located on the dashboard.
Press this button, the AUTO
symbol is displayed.
In accordance with the
comfort value selected,
the system controls the
distribution, the flow and the intake
of air to guarantee comfort and a
sufficient circulation of air in the
passenger compartment. No further
action on your part is required.
When the engine is cold, to prevent an
excessive diffusion of cold air, the air diffuser
will reach its optimum level gradually.
For your comfort, the settings are stored
when the ignition is switched off and are
reinstated the next time the vehicle is
started.
t
he automatic function will no longer be
maintained if you change a setting manually

ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR)
AND DYNAMIC STABILITY
CONTROL (DSC)
these systems are linked and
complement the ABS.
t
he ASR system is very useful for
maintaining optimum drive and
avoiding losses of control of the vehicle
on acceleration.
t
he system optimises drive to prevent
the wheels skidding, by acting on the
brakes of the drive wheels and on the
engine. It also allows the directional
stability of the vehicle to be improved
on acceleration.
u
se the DSC to hold your course
without attempting to countersteer.
If there is a variation between the
trajectory followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver, the DSC
system automatically acts on the
engine and the brake of one or more
wheels, in order to put the vehicle back
on course.
Deactivation
In certain exceptional conditions
(starting the vehicle when stuck in mud
or snow, or on loose ground...), it could
prove useful to deactivate the ASR and
DSC systems to make the wheels spin
and regain grip.
Operating fault
Good practice
the ASR/DSC systems offer increased
safety during normal driving, but
should not incite the driver to take risks
or to drive at high speed.
t
he operation of these systems is
ensured if the recommendations
of the manufacturer regarding
the wheels (tyres and rims), the
braking components, the electronic
components and the fitting and repair
procedures are observed.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a P
euge O t
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Operation
The warning lamp flashes
when operation of the ASR or
DSC is triggered.
They engage again:
-
automatically above 30 mph
(50 km/h), When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the warning
lamp and the L
e D come on,
accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the
screen.
-
Press the button or turn
the dial to the DSC OFF
position (depending on
model).
-
t
he L
e D comes on: the ASR and
DSC systems no longer come into
play.
-
manually by pressing the
button again or by turning
the dial to this position
(depending on model). Contact a P
euge O t
dealer or a
qualified workshop to have the system
checked.
t
he warning lamp may also come on if
the tyres are under-inflated. Check the
pressure of each tyre.

GRIP CONTROL
Correct use
Your vehicle is designed principally to
drive on tarmac roads but it allows you
to drive on other less passable terrain
occasionally.
However, particularly when your
vehicle is heavily laden, it does not
permit off-road activities such as:
-
crossing and driving on ground
which could damage the underbody
or tear of
f components (fuel pipe,
fuel cooler, ...), particularly by
obstacles or stones,
-
driving on ground with steep
gradients and poor grip,
-
crossing a stream.
On snow
, mud or sand, traction control
is obtained by a compromise between
safety, grip, traction and appropriate
tyres.
It adapts to allows most conditions of
poor grip to be accommodated.
t
he accelerator pedal must be pressed
enough for there to be adequate
engine power to manage the various
parameters in the best way.

For more information about
weights and towed loads, refer to
chapter 9, "Weights" section.
TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...
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.
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.
Y
ou should therefore use a high gear
to lower the engine speed and reduce
your speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant temperature.
Driving advice
A towed vehicle must free wheel:
gearbox in neutral.

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 air conditioning is
automatically cut off to save engine
power.
Tyres
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures. Chapter 7, "Levels" section.If the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the
engine as soon as possible. Brakestowing increases the braking distance.
Drive at a moderate speed, change
down early and brake gradually
.
Towbar
We recommend the use of genuine
Peuge O t towbars and their
harnesses, which have been tested
and approved from the design stage of
your vehicle, and that you entrust the
fitting of this equipment to a PEUGEOT
dealer.
If this equipment is not fitted by a
P
euge O t
dealer
, it is imperative that
it is fitted using the electrical pre-
equipment installed at the rear of the
vehicle and in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
In accordance with the general
instructions a reminder of which has
been given above, we draw your
attention to the risk associated with
fitting a towbar or electrical accessory
not recommended by P
euge O t
.
Fitting such equipment could result in
the failure of your vehicle's electronic
system. Please obtain information from
the Manufacturer before fitting this type
of equipment.
Side wind
Sensitivity to side wind is increased.
Drive smoothly and at a moderate
speed.
ABS/DSC
t
he ABS or DSC systems only control
the vehicle, not the trailer or caravan.
Parking sensors
t
he rear parking sensors system does
not function while the vehicle is towing.
