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

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

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.

In severe wintry conditions (temperature
below -23°C), it is recommended that the
engine be allowed to run for a few minutes
before moving off, to ensure the correct
operation and durability of the engine and
gearbox.
Stopping the vehicle
Whatever the state of the gearbox when the
ignition is switched off, mode P is engaged
automatically, with the exception of N, in
which case mode P
will be engaged after a
delay of 5
seconds (allowing the change to
free-wheel).
Check that mode P has been engaged and
that the electric parking brake was applied
automatically; if not, apply it manually.
The corresponding indicator lamps
for the selector panel and the
electric parking brake control lever
must be on, as well as the ones in
the instrument panel.

dealer or a qualified workshop.
When the ignition is switched off, the
gearbox goes into mode P automatically.
The gearbox switches to back-up mode: drive
mode
D is locked in third gear, the steering-
mounted control paddles are inoperative,
mode M is no longer available. You may feel a
pronounced jolt when engaging reverse. This
does not present any risk for the gearbox.
Do not drive faster than 62 mph (100 km/h),
keeping to the speed limit.
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
You are alerted by this warning
lamp lighting up, accompanied by
the display of a message and an

The hill start assist function cannot be
deactivated. However, use of the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle interrupts
its function.
Operation
On an ascending slope, with the vehicle
stationar y, the vehicle is held for a shor t
time when you release the brake pedal:
-
i
f you are in first gear or in neutral with a
manual gearbox,

automatic gearbox.
On a descending slope, with the vehicle
stationary and reverse gear engaged, the
vehicle is held for a shor t time when you
release the brake pedal.
Malfunction
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held temporarily by hill start assist.
If you need to leave the vehicle with the
engine running, apply the parking brake
manually then ensure that the parking
brake warning lamp and the indicator lamp
P in the lever of the electric parking brake

Gear shift indicator
(Depending on engine.)
System which reduces fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
remains responsible for deciding whether or not
to follow the indications issued by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
With an automatic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual mode.
The information is displayed in the instrument
panel in the form of an arrow. With a manual gearbox, the arrow may be
accompanied by the gear recommended.
The system adapts its gear shift
recommendation according to the driving
conditions (slope, load, etc.) and the
driver's requirements (power, acceleration,
b r a k i n g , e t c .) .
The system never suggests:
-
e
ngaging first gear,
-
enga
ging a lower gear,
-
enga
ging reverse.
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one (or more) gear(s). You can
follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
Gear shift recommendations are for information
only. In fact, the road layout, the traffic density
and safety remain the deciding factors when
choosing the best gear. The driver therefore Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
t emporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc.).
The engine restarts automatically – START
mode – as soon as you want to move off.
The restart takes place instantly, quickly and
silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
