(approximately 40 km/h).
th
is additional lighting is particularly useful in
town, at intersections, on very winding roads,
when parking,

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.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.

Manual parking brake
Application
F With your foot on the brake pedal, pull the parking brake lever up to immobilise your
vehicle.
Release
F With your foot on the brake pedal, pull the parking brake lever up gently, press the
release button then lower the lever fully. When parking on a slope, direct your
wheels against the kerb, apply the
parking brake, engage a gear with a
manual gearbox or position P with an
automatic gearbox and switch off the
ignition.
When the vehicle is being driven,
if this warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come on, accompanied
by an audible signal and a message,
indicating that the parking brake is
still on or has not been fully released. Pressing the brake pedal makes it
easier to apply or release the manual
parking brake.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic engine immobiliser
the keys contain an electronic chip which has
a secret code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised in order for
starting to be possible.
th

is electronic engine immobiliser locks the
engine management system a few minutes
after the ignition is switched off and prevents
starting of the engine by anyone who does not
have the key.
In the event of a malfunction, you are informed
by a message in the instrument panel screen.
In this case, your vehicle does not start; contact
a P
e

uge
Ot
dealer as soon as possible.
For reasons of safety and theft protection,
do not leave your electronic key in the
vehicle, even when you are close to it.
It is recommended that you keep it on
your person.

Emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the main service brake, a
continuous pull on the control lever A will stop the
vehicle.
th

e dynamic stability control provides stability
during emergency braking.
If the emergency braking malfunctions, the message
"Parking brake control faulty" will be displayed.
If a failure of the DSC system is
signalled by the lighting of this
warning lamp, then braking stability is
not guaranteed.
th
e emergency braking must only be
used in exceptional circumstances. In the event of a battery failure, the
parking brake can no longer be
operated.
As a safety measure, if the parking
brake is not applied, immobilise the
vehicle by engaging a gear or by
placing a chock against one of the
wheels.
Contact a Pe
ugeOt dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In this event, stability must be assured by the
driver by repeating alternate "pull-release"
actions on the control lever A .

Stop & Start
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
the "ECO" indicator lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and the
engine goes into standby:

w

ith a manual gearbox, at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h), or vehicle stationary
with the e-
tH

P 165 version, when you put
the gear lever into neutral and release the
clutch pedal,
-

w

ith an automatic gearbox, vehicle
stationary, when you press the brake pedal
or you put the gear selector in position N .
If your vehicle is fitted with the system, a time
counter calculates the sum of the periods in
S
tO

P mode during a journey. It rests itself to
zero every time the ignition is switched on with
t h e key. Never refuel with the engine in
S
tO

P mode; you must switch off the
ignition with the key. For your comfort, during parking
maoeuvres, S
tO

P mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
S

automatically

-

StA
Rt
mode - as soon as
you want to move off.

reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.
