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:
-
ch

eck that the depth of water does not
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves
that might be generated by other users,
-
de

activate the Stop & Start system,
-
dr

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

m/h),
-
do n

ot 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
eu

ge
Ot d
ealer or a qualified workshop.

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
0

00
m
etres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10
% f

or every 1
0
00 metres of
altitude.
Side wind
F take into account the increased sensitivity
t o side wind.
Cooling
towing a trailer on a slope increases the
t emperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F


t
o lo
wer the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
the m

aximum 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
If t

he 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 av oid overheating of the brakes, the use of
engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing
v ehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling
o n 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.
the r

ear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a genuine
