General
recommendations
the doors must only be operated when
the vehicle is stationary.
For your safety and for that of your
passengers, as well as for correct
operation of the doors, you are strongly
advised not to drive with a door open.
Always check that it is safe to operate
the door and in particular, be sure not to
leave children or animals near the door
controls without supervision.
th
e audible warning, illumination of
the "door open" warning lamp and the
message in the multifunction screen
are there to remind you. Contact
a P
e

ugeot dealer or a qualified
workshop to deactivate these warnings.
Lock your vehicle when using an
automatic car wash. Before any opening or closing and
during any movement of the doors,
ensure that no person, animal or object
is protruding through the window
frame or might prevent the intended
manoeuvre, either inside or outside the
vehicle.
If this advice is not followed, injuries or
damage may occur if a person or an
object is trapped or caught.
el

ectric closing and opening of the
doors is not possible above 2 mph
(3 km/h):
-

I
f you set off with the door(s) open,
you must slow down to below
20
mph (30 km/h) in order to close
the door(s).
-

A
ny attempt to open a door
electrically using the interior handle
while driving, results in only being
possible to open the door manually.
-
t
h

In order for these systems to be fully effective, follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:
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 at the rear.
F

D
o not cover the sunshine sensor, located at the top of the windscreen; this is used for
regulation of the air conditioning system.
F
o
p
erate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month
to keep it in per fect working order.
F
e
n
sure that the passenger compartment filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly.
W

e recommend the use of a combined passenger compartment filter. t
h
anks to its
special active additive, 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
o e
nsure correct operation of the air conditioning system, you are also advised to have
it checked regularly as recommended in the warranty and maintenance record.
F

I
f the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact a P
e
ugeot dealer or
a qualified workshop.
Recommendations for heating, ventilation and air conditioning
If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very high, first
ventilate the passenger compartment for
a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
th

e air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not present
any danger to the ozone layer.
th

e condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge
of water under the vehicle which is
perfectly normal.
When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off the
air conditioning increases the available engine power and so improves the towing ability.
Stop & Start
the heating and air conditioning
systems only work when the engine is
running.
to m
aintain a comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment, you can
temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system.
For more information on Stop & Star t ,
refer to the corresponding section.
Air vents
to close a vent, move the control
towards the outside of the vehicle. Slight
resistance may be felt.

Dynamic stability control (DSC)
and anti-slip regulation
(ASR)
Activation
these systems are activated automatically
each time the vehicle is started.
As soon as they detect a problem of grip or
trajectory, these systems act on the operation
of the engine and brakes.
th
is is indicated by 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 DSC system, so that the wheels can move
freely and regain grip.
But it is recommended that the system be
reactivated as soon as possible.

th

e indicator lamp in the button or the knob
goes off.
th
e DSC system offers exceptional
safety in normal driving, but this should
not encourage the driver to take extra
risks or drive at high speed.
th
e correct operation of the system
depends on observation of the
manufacturer's recommendations
regarding the wheels (tyres and rims),
the braking components, the electronic
components and the P
e
ugeot
assembly and repair procedures.
After an impact, have the system
checked by a Pe ugeot dealer or a
qualified workshop. If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the screen, this
indicates a fault with the system.
Contact a P
e
ugeot dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.

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 headlamp beam
height of your vehicle.
For more information on Weights
, refer
to the corresponding section.
th

e rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the
audible signal if a genuine P
e

ugeot
towbar is used.
If the ambient temperature is high, it
is recommended that the engine be
allowed to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after
the vehicle comes to a stop, to facilitate
its cooling. For more information on Adjusting the
headlamp beam height
, refer to the
corresponding section.
