In the event of a fault with the SCR emissions control system
A system that prevents engine starting
is activated automatically from
650 miles (1 100 km) after confirmation
of a fault with the SCR emissions
control system. Have the system
checked by a P
e

uge
Ot
dealer or a
qualified workshop as soon as possible. In the event of the detection of a fault
th

signal and the display of the message
"
em

issions fault".
the

alert is triggered when driving when the
fault is detected for the first time, then when
switching on the ignition for subsequent
journeys, while the fault persists.
If it is a temporary fault, the alert
disappears during the next journey,
after self-diagnosis of the SCR system. During an authorised driving phase (between
650 miles and 0 miles) (1 100 km and 0 km)
If a fault with the SCR system is confirmed
(after 30 miles (50 km) covered with the
permanent display of the message signalling
a fault), the S

audible signal and the display of a message
(e.g.: "

150


miles") indicating the remaining range
express in miles or kilometres.
While driving, the message is displayed every
30 seconds while the fault with the SCR system
persists.
the

alert is repeated when switching on the

Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
the air conditioning system does not contain chlorine and does not present any danger to the ozone layer. In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance guidelines below:
F
I
f the interior temperature remains very high after the vehicle has been parked in the sun for a considerable time, first ventilate the
passenger compartment for a few minutes.
P
lace the air flow control at a sufficient level to provide an adequate renewal of air in the passenger compartment.
F t
o o
btain an even air distribution, take care not to obstruct the exterior air intake grilles located at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles,
the vents and the air outlets, as well as the air extractor located in the boot.
F
I
n normal conditions, use the intake of exterior air as prolonged use of the air recirculation may cause misting of the windows and side
windows.
F
D
o not cover the sunshine sensor, located on the dashboard; this is used for regulation of the automatic air conditioning system.
F
O
perate the air conditioning system for 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month to keep it in good working order.
F e
n
sure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter elements replaced regularly (refer to the "Checks"
section).
W
e recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. t
h
anks to its second special active filter, it contributes to the
purification of the air breathed by the occupants and the cleanliness of the passenger compartment (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad
odours and greasy deposits).
F t
h
e air conditioning uses power from the engine while operating. t
h
is results in an increase in the vehicle's fuel consumption.
W

hen towing at or near maximum capacity or on steep slopes in high ambient temperatures, switching off the air conditioning saves engine
power and so improves towing capacity.
C
ondensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of water under the vehicle when stationary, which is per fectly normal.
F t
o e
nsure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have it checked regularly.
F
I
f the system does not produce cold air, do not use it and contact a P
e
uge
Ot
dealer or a qualified workshop.

problem of grip.
th
is is indicated by the flashing of
this warning lamp in the instrument
panel.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft
ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate the
ASR system, so that the wheels can turn freely
and regain grip.

If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the instrument
panel screen, this indicates a fault
with the system.

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.
th

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

uge
Ot
towbar is used.
For more information on weights (and
the towed loads which apply to your
vehicle) refer to the corresponding
section.
