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.

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 approximately 600
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 Headlamp
adjustment , 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.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The keys contain an electronic chip which has
a secret code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised in order for
starting to be possible.
A few seconds after switching off the ignition,
this system locks the engine control system,
therefore preventing the engine from being
started in the event of a break-in.

the engine will not start.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
It has 3 positions:
-
Position 1 (Stop): inserting and removing
the key, steering column locked.
-
Position 2 (Ignition on) : steering column
unlocked, ignition on, Diesel preheating,
engine running.
-
Position 3 (Starting) .
It allows the use of the vehicle's electric
equipment or portable devices to be charged.

Once the state of charge of the battery drops
to the reser ve level, the system switches to
energy economy mode: the power supply is
cut off automatically to preser ve the remaining
battery charge.Switching off the engine leads to a loss of
braking assistance.
Avoid attaching heavy objects to the key
or the remote control, which would weigh
down on its blade in the ignition switch
and could cause a malfunction.Starting the engine
Parking brake applied:

simultaneously turning the steering and
t h e key.
In certain cases, you may have to apply
significant force to move the steering
wheel (wheels on full lock, for example). F

W
ith a petrol engine
, operate the starter
motor by turning the key to position 3
without pressing the accelerator pedal,
until the engine starts. Once the engine is
running, release the key.
With petrol engines , after a cold start,
preheating the catalytic converter can
cause clearly-felt engine vibrations when
stationary, with the engine running, for
anything up to two minutes (accelerated
idle speed).
F
W
ith a Diesel engine, turn the key to
position 2 , ignition on, to operate the engine
pre-heating system.
Wait until this warning lamp goes off
in the instrument panel then operate
the starter motor by turning the key
to position 3 without pressing the
accelerator pedal, until the engine
starts. Once the engine is running,
release the key.
In wintry conditions, the warning lamp
can stay on for a longer period. When the
engine is hot, the warning lamp does not
come on. If the engine does not start straight
away, switch off the ignition. Wait a few
moments before operating the starter
motor again. If the engine does not start
after several attempts, do not keep trying:
you risk damaging the starter motor or
the engine. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.
In temperate conditions, do not let the
engine idle to warm up but move off
straight away and drive at moderate
speed.
Never leave the engine running in
an enclosed area without adequate
ventilation: internal combustion engines
emit toxic exhaust gases, such as carbon
monoxide. There is a risk of poisoning
and death!
In very extreme wintry conditions
(temperature below -23°C), to guarantee
correct operation and the longevity of
the mechanical elements of your vehicle,
engine and gearbox, the engine must be
left running for 4
minutes before starting
the vehicle.
