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!
Risk of fire!
As the exhaust system of your vehicle
is very hot, even several minutes after
switching off the engine, do not park
or run the engine over areas where
inflammable substances and materials
are present: grass, leaves, etc.
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.

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

In temperate conditions, do not leave
the engine running to warm up, but set
off straight away and drive at moderate
speed. If the engine does not start straight
away, switch off the ignition.
Wait a few moments before trying
again. If the engine does not start after
a few attempts, do not keep trying: you
risk damaging the starter motor and the
engine.
Call on a P

uge
Ot
dealer or a
qualified workshop. Never leave the engine running in
an enclosed area without adequate
ventilation: internal combustion
engines emit toxic exhaust gases,
such as carbon monoxide. Danger of
intoxication and death.
In very severe wintry conditions
(temperatures below -23°C), to ensure
the correct operation and the durability
of the mechanical components of
your vehicle, engine and gearbox, it is
necessary to leave the engine running
for 4 minutes before moving off.

deteriorates above 25°C. It is recommended
that bottles be stored in a cool area and
protected from direct sunlight.
un

der these conditions, the fluid can be kept
for at least a year.
If the additive has frozen, it can be used once
it has completely thawed out.
Procedure
Before starting the top-up procedure, ensure
that the vehicle is parked on a flat and level

the table below gives answers to the most frequently asked questions on your audio system.QUESTION ANSWER SOLUTION
With the engine off, the
audio system switches off
after a few minutes of use. When the engine is switched off, the audio system operating time
depends on the state of charge of the battery.
th

e switch-off is normal: the audio equipment switches to economy
mode and switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's
battery. Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery
charge.
th

e message "the audio
system is overheated"
appears on the display. In order to protect the installation if the surrounding temperature
is too high, the audio system switches to an automatic thermal
protection mode leading to a reduction in volume or CD play
stopping. Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to
allow the system to cool.
Frequently asked questions
QUESTION
ANSWER SOLUTION
th

ere is a difference in
sound quality between the
different audio sources
(radio, CD...). For optimum sound quality, the audio settings (Volume, Bass,
tr

eble, Ambience, Loudness) can be adapted to the different sound
sources, which may result in audible differences when changing
source (radio, CD...). Check that the audio settings (Volume, Bass,
tr

eble, Ambience, Loudness) are adapted to the
sources listened to. It is advisable to set the audio
functions (Bass,
t
r
eble, Front-Rear Balance, Left-
Right Balance) to the middle position, select the
musical ambience "None" and set the loudness
correction to the "Active" position in CD mode or
to the "Inactive" position in radio mode.
