pre-heating fixed.
When the ignition is switched on
with a key in the ignition switch or
a starting instruction made using
the
"START/STOP " button, the
engine temperature makes engine
pre-heating necessary. The period of illumination of the indicator lamp is
determined by the ambient conditions (up to about
thirty seconds in severe winter conditions).
With an ignition switch and key, wait until the indicator
lamp goes off before starting.
With Keyless Entry and Starting, once it goes off,
starting is immediate, on condition that the brake
pedal remains pressed with an automatic gearbox, or
the clutch pedal is pressed fully down with a manual
gearbox.
If the engine does not start, switch the ignition off and
then on, wait until the indicator lamp goes off again,
then start the engine.

Trailer stability assist
When towing, this system reduces the risk of the vehicle or trailer swaying.
Operation
The system is activated automatically when the
ignition is switched on.
The electronic stability programme (ESC) must
not have any faults.
Between 36 and 100 mph (60 and 160 km/h),
if the system detects swaying movements in
the trailer, it acts on the brakes to stabilise the
trailer and, if necessary, reduces engine power
to slow down the vehicle.The correction is signalled by the
flashing of the indicator lamp in the
instrument panel and activation of the
brake lights.
Operating fault
Should a fault occur with the system,
this warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied by
the display of a message and an
audible signal. The trailer stability assist system
offers increased safety in normal
driving conditions, provided that the
recommendations on towing a trailer are
obser ved. It must not encourage the driver
to take additional risks, such as towing
a trailer in adverse operating conditions
(overloading, failure to obser ve the trailer
nose weight, worn or under-inflated tyres,
faulty braking system, etc.) or drive at too
high a speed.
In certain cases, the swaying of the trailer
may not be detected by the ESC system,
particularly with a light trailer.
When driving on slippery or poor sur faces,
the system may not be able to prevent
sudden swaying of the trailer.
If you continue to tow a trailer, reduce your
speed and drive carefully!
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
For information on the weights and towed
loads, refer to the "Technical data" section or
the registration certificate for your vehicle.
For advice on driving safely when Towing a
trailer , refer to the corresponding section.
