To avoid the risks of poisoning or
asphyxia, the additional heating must
not be used, even for short periods, in
a closed environment such as a garage or
workshop which are not equipped with an
exhaust gas extraction system.
The additional heating switches off when
the battery voltage is low, so as to allow
engine starting.
The additional heating is fed by the
vehicle's fuel tank. Ensure that the low fuel
warning lamp is not on.
Always switch off the additional heating
when refuelling to avoid any risk of fire or
explosion!
The temperature near the heating
system must not exceed 120°C. A higher
temperature (e.g. when baking the
paint) could damage the components of
electronic circuits.
The additional heating is fitted with
a
temperature limiter which cuts off
the combustion in the event of engine
overheating due to a
lack of coolant.
Check the level and top up if necessary.
For more information on Checking levels ,
refer to the corresponding section.
Then press the programme selection
button before switching the heating on
again.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 replace
the filter elements periodically. We
recommend the use of a
combined
passenger compartment filter. Thanks to
its special active additive, it helps both to
purify the air breathed by the occupants
and to keep the passenger compartment
clean (reduction of allergic symptoms, bad
odours and greasy deposits). 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.

Intelligent Traction Control
System to improve traction on slippery sur faces
(snow, ice, mud, etc.)
This system checks for situations of difficult
sur face grip that could make it difficult to move
off or make progress.
In these situations, Intelligent Traction
Control takes over from the ASR system, by
transferring drive to the wheel with the best grip
on the ground to provide the best traction and
trajectory control.
Switching on
On starting the vehicle, this system is
deactivated.
F
Press this button to switch the system on; the warning lamp in the button comes on.
This system is active up to about 19
mph (30 km/h).
Once the speed exceeds 19
mph (30 km/h),
the system is deactivated automatically, but the
warning lamp in the button stays on. The system is reactivated automatically as soon as
the speed drops below 19
mph (30 km/h).
Deactivation
F Press this button to deactivate the system;
the warning lamp in the button goes off and
the ASR system is active again.
Malfunction
If a fault occurs with the intelligent
t raction control, this warning lamp
comes on.
Have it checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or by
a


qualified workshop.
Load inertia control
All such variations have an effect on braking,
traction, the behaviour of the vehicle when
cornering and the tendency to overturn.
The true total weight of a

commercial vehicle
can vary considerably depending on the load
carried. As a

result, the centre of gravity of the
vehicle can move, both longitudinally and in
height. Load inertia control estimates the true total
weight of the vehicle by analysing its behaviour
under acceleration and braking.
This system then adapts the operation of the
DSC and ASR systems according to the weight
distribution in the vehicle. In critical situations,
your vehicle therefore remains more securely
on its intended trajectory.
Hill Descent Control
System that provides assistance when
descending on sur faces with poor grip (mud,
gravel, etc.) or on a
steep gradient.
This system reduces the risk of slip or loss of
control of the vehicle while descending a
hill.
It keeps the vehicle at a
steady speed during
a


descent by acting independently and with
varying force on each of the brakes.

Safety

88
Manoeuvre cautiously, at low
speed
The dimensions of your vehicle differ from
those of a light vehicle, in width, in height, as
well as in length, and some obstacles will be
more difficult to notice.
Manoeuvre slowly.
Before turning, check that there are no
obstacles at mid-height along the sides.
Before reversing, check that there are no
obstacles, particularly at high level behind the
vehicle.
Be aware of the external dimensions, if ladders
are fitted.
Load the vehicle correctly
With a load, the vehicle must remain within the
m aximum authorised weight, the Gross Vehicle
Weight.
To avoid upsetting the balance of the vehicle,
the load should be centred and the heaviest
part placed on the floor in front of the rear
wheels.
It is inadvisable to place heavy loads on a
roof
rack.
Loading also implies adherence to the
maximum load of the roof bar anchor points.
Adhere to the maximum permissible weight,
according to PEUGEOT dealer specifications.
Loads must be securely lashed down.
A load that is not properly secured inside the
vehicle may affect vehicle handling and create
a
risk of accident.
Drive the vehicle in a prudent
a nd efficient way
Take corners gently.
Anticipate the need to brake as the stopping
distance is increased, particularly on wet or icy
roads.
Be aware of the effect of side winds on the
vehicle.
Effective eco-driving saves fuel; accelerate
progressively, anticipate the need to slow down
and adapt your speed to suit the situation.
Indicate changes of direction well in advance
so that you are seen by other road users.
Take care
The tyres must be inflated to at least the
pressures indicated on the label, even over-
inflated by 0.2
to 0.3 bar for long journeys.
In case of towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
d emands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.
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. The maximum
towed load must be reduced by 10% for every
1,000
metres of altitude.
For more information on the Technical
data of your vehicle and particularly on
towable loads, refer to the corresponding
section.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to wind.
If your vehicle is fitted with a

drop-side back,
the height and width of the load must remain
within the overall dimensions of the vehicle.
