Hill descent control
System that provides assistance when
descending on surfaces with poor grip (mud,
gravel...) or on a steep gradient.
t
his system reduces the risk of slip or loss
of control of the vehicle while descending
a hill.
It keeps the vehicle at a steady speed during
a descent by acting independently and with
varying force on each of the brakes. Switching off
Press this button, located in the middle of the
dashboard, to deactivate the system; the indicator
lamp in the button goes off.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), the system is completely
deactivated; the indicator lamp in the button goes off.
operating fault
If a fault occurs with the hill
descent control system, this
warning lamp comes on.
Have the system checked by a P
euge O t

dealer or a qualified workshop.
Switching on
On starting the vehicle, the system is


deactivated.
With the speed below 18 mph (30 km/h)
press this button, located in the middle of
the dashboard, to activate the system; the
indicator lamp in the button comes on.
Once the vehicle starts its descent, you can
release the accelerator and brake pedals;
the indicator lamp in the button flashes.
t

he brake lamps come on automatically
when the system is brought into operation.
If the speed of the vehicle exceeds 18

mph
(30 km/h), the system is automatically
deactivated, but the indicator lamp in the
button stays on.
t

he system reactivates automatically as
soon as the speed of the vehicle drops
below 18 mph (30 km/h).
For the system to operate, the slope
must be steeper than 8%.
Do not use the system with the gearbox in
neutral.
e

ngage an appropriate gear for the speed of
the vehicle, to avoid the engine stalling.
You can press the accelerator or brake
pedal at any time.
t
he system may not be available if the
brakes overheat. Wait a few minutes
for them to cool down before trying again.
Driving safely

Impact resistance
Your vehicle has been designed to limit
the forces on the passenger compartment
as much as possible in the event of a
collision, the engine compartment adopts
a progressive deformation structure and
the front doors have been reinforced to
contribute to the rigidity of the whole.
Anti-theft protection
Your vehicle, in the van version, comprises
two zones with separate locking: the cab
and the load space.
Depending on the way in which it is used,
this function provides increased protection
both for your personal belongings and for
your merchandise.
An exterior protection alarm with anti-tilt
detection is available (as standard or as an
option) in certain countries.Details of these functions are given in
the "Ready to set off - Front and rear
doors" section.

deactivating the passenger's front
airbag
When OFF is selected, the passenger's front
airbag will not be triggered in the event of an
impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed, select
ON to re-activate the airbag and thus ensure
the safety of your front passengers in the
event of an impact.Lateral airbags and curtain airbags
If your vehicle is fitted with lateral airbags,
these are fitted to the front seat backs on
the door side.
t

he curtain airbags are fitted to the door
pillars and the upper part of the passenger
compartment, in the roof over the front cab
seats.
t

hey inflate between the occupant and the
glazed area.
t

hey are deployed independently of each
other depending on which side the collision
occurs.
to ensure the safety of your child, it is


essential to deactivate the passenger's
front airbag when you install a rearward
facing child seat on the front passenger
seat. Otherwise, the child would risk being
killed or seriously injured if the airbag were
to inflate.
If your vehicle's front passenger airbag
cannot be deactivated: you must not install a
rearward facing child seat.

driving advice
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.
c

ooling: 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.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the
engine speed and reduce your speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
tyres:

check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing
the recommended pressures.
Fitting a towbar
We recommend the use of genuine
P euge O t
towbars and their harnesses,

which have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle and that
the fitting of this equipment is entrusted to a
P
euge O t
dealer
.
t

hese genuine towbars are compatible with
the operation of the rear parking sensors
and the reversing camera, if fitted to your
vehicle.
If this equipment is not fitted by a P
euge O t

dealer

, it must be fitted in line with the
manufacturer's instructions.
Good practice
If the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
Refer to the "Checks - Levels and
checks" section.
Brakes: towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake gradually. Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed. ABS: the system only controls the vehicle,
not the trailer.
r

ear parking sensors: the system is
deactivated while the vehicle is towing with a
genuine P
euge O t
towbar fitted.

For access to the reservoir filler cap, remove
the protective cover by turning its three
fixing screws a quarter turn, then remove the
second cover fitted to the cap.

more than 1 litre of fluid is required to top
up the level, have the system checked by a

Capacity of the reservoir: approximately
5.5
litres.
For access to the reservoir filler cap, pull on
the telescopic filler pipe and unclip the cap.
For best quality cleaning and to prevent
freezing, this fluid must not be topped up or
replaced with plain water.
In wintry conditions, the use of an alcohol or
methanol based fluid is recommended.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a failure which must be checked by
a P

as soon as possible.
Only use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer. Otherwise, you risk seriously
damaging your engine. When the engine
is warm, the temperature of the coolant is
controlled by the engine fan. As this fan can
operate with the ignition key removed and
because the cooling system is pressurised,
wait for at least one hour after the engine
has stopped before carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn to release
the pressure to prevent any risk of scalding.
When the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level with coolant.
For access to the header tank filler cap,
remove the protective cover by turning its
three fixing screws a quarter turn.
