The connection of an electrical device
not approved by PEUGEOT, such as a
USB charger, may adversely affect the
operation of vehicle electrical systems,
causing faults such as poor radio
reception or inter ference with displays in
the screens.
It is advisable to limit its use to avoid
discharging the battery.
Stowing rings
As a safety precaution in case of sharp
braking, you are advised to secure the
load by attaching it firmly using the
stowing rings and to place heavy objects
as far for wards towards the cab as
possible.
Use the stowing rings on the rear floor to
secure your loads.
Tr i m
Load stops
Your vehicle can have a wide range of load
stops to effectively protect the driver and
front passenger(s) while maintaining loading
modularity.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer for the
different models of load restraint
accessories.
The interior parts of the sides are fitted with
load protection trims.

Recommendations for ventilation and air conditioning
In order for these systems to be fully effective,
follow the operation and maintenance
guidelines below:
F
T
o ensure that the air is distributed evenly,
keep the external air intake grilles at the
base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the
vents, the air outlets and the air extractor
in the boot free from obstructions.
F

D
o not cover the sunshine sensor,
located on the dashboard; this is used for
regulation of the automatic air conditioning
system.
F

O
perate 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
nsure that the passenger compartment
filter is in good condition and have the
filter elements replaced regularly. We
recommend the use of a combined
passenger compartment filter. Thanks 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). If after an extended stop in sunshine, the
interior temperature is very high, first air
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.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge of water
under the vehicle which is per fectly normal.
Depending on version and country
of sale, the air conditioning system
contains fluorinated greenhouse gas
R13 4A
.
Gas capacity: 0.450
kg (+/- 0.025 kg),
GWP index 1,430 t (equivalent CO
2:
0.6 4 4 t).
F

T

o ensure 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 PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
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.
To avoid the windows misting up and
deterioration in the quality of the air:
-

d

o not drive for too long with the
ventilation switched off.
-
d
o not keep air recirculation set for an
extended period.
Stop & Star t
The heating and air conditioning systems
only work when the engine is running.
Temporarily deactivate the Stop &
Start system to maintain a comfortable
temperature in the passenger
compartment.
For more information on Stop & Star t,
refer to the corresponding section.

Safety

103
Driving recommendations
Obser ve the Highway Code 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.
As a safety measure, the driver should only
carry out any operations that require close
attention when the vehicle is stationary.
On a long journey, a break every two hours is
strongly recommended.
In bad weather, drive smoothly, anticipate the
need to brake and increase the safety distance.
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!
Never drive with the parking brake applied
– risk of overheating and damage to the
braking system!
Do not park and do not run the engine
with the vehicle stationary, in areas where
substances and combustible materials
(dry grass, leaves, etc.) can come into
contact with the hot exhaust system – Risk
of fire!Never leave a vehicle unsuper vised 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.
In case of towing
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 function,
-

d
rive as slowly as possible without stalling.
Under no circumstances 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 about the state of your vehicle,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop. Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity
to 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 lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towable load on an incline
depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.

Driving

104
In some cases of particularly demanding use
(when towing the maximum load on a steep
gradient in high temperatures), the engine
power is automatically limited. In such a case,
the air conditioning is automatically switched
off to increase the available engine power.F

I
f this warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
New vehicle
Do not pull a trailer before having driven at
least 620
miles (1,000 kilometres).
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid 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 adjusting
the Headlamp beam
, refer to the
corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the
audible signal if a genuine PEUGEOT
towbar is used.

Operating faults
Sensor fault
The operation of the laser sensor may suffer
inter ference from accumulations of dirt or
misting of the windscreen. In this case you are
warned by the display of a message.
Use windscreen demisting and regularly clean
the area of the windscreen in front of the
sensor. Do not stick or other wise attach any object
on the windscreen in front of the sensor.
System fault
In the event of a malfunction of the system, you
are warned by an audible signal and the display
of the message " Automatic braking system
fault ".
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
In the event of an impact to the
windscreen at the sensor, deactivate the

to have your
windscreen replaced. Do not attempt to remove, adjust or test
the sensor.
Only a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop is able to work on the system.
When towing a trailer or when the vehicle
is being towed, the system must be
deactivated.
Parking sensors
The audible (front and rear) and/or visual (rear)
parking sensor system consists of proximity
sensors installed in the bumpers.
They detect any obstacle which enters the
field of vision (person, vehicle, tree, fence,
etc.) behind or in front of the vehicle during the
manoeuvre.
