Safety

87
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.
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 difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate
the need to brake and increase the distance
from other vehicles.
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 severe wintry conditions
(temperatures 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 driving.
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.
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.
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.
To assure the durability of your vehicle and
your safety, remember that certain precautions,
described hereafter, should be taken when
driving your vehicle:

Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
t emperature 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.
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.
T o 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
beam height 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 immobiliser
device.
This device locks the engine supply system.
It activates automatically when the key is
removed from the ignition.
This warning lamp goes off after the
key has been recognised, the ignition is
switched on and the engine can be started.
If the key is not recognised, the engine
cannot be started. Use another key
and have the faulty key checked by
a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Note the number of the keys carefully;
in case of loss, inter vention by the
PEUGEOT dealer will be more efficient
and quicker if you present this number and
the confidential card.
When the ignition switch is turned on, a
dialogue is set up between the key and the
electronic immobiliser.
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic immobiliser system.
Operating the remote control, even when it
is in your pocket, may result in involuntary
unlocking of the doors.
The simultaneous use of other high
frequency equipment (mobile telephones,
domestic alarms, etc.), may inter fere
with the operation of the remote control
temporarily.
The remote control does not operate
while the key is in the ignition, even if the
ignition is off, except for reinitialisation.

Driving with the doors locked may make
access to the passenger compartment by
the emergency services more difficult in an
emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on
board), remove the key from the ignition when
leaving the vehicle, even for a
short time.
When purchasing a second-hand
vehicle:
-

e
nsure that you are given the
confidential card,
-

h
ave the keys recorded by
a
PEUGEOT dealer to ensure that the
keys in your possession are the only
ones which can start the vehicle.
Confidential card
It contains the identification code necessary for
any work carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer on
the electronic immobiliser system. This code is
hidden by a
film, which should be removed only
if necessary.
Keep your card in a
safe place, never inside the
vehicle.
When undertaking a
long trip or journey,
however, it is advisable to take it with you along
with your personal papers.

In low temperatures
In mountainous and/or cold areas, it is
advisable to use a "winter" type fuel suited
to low or minus temperatures.
Battery standby system
If the vehicle is not to be used for a prolonged
p eriod, such as for winter storage, for example,
it is strongly recommended that the battery
be placed on standby in order to protect it and
optimise its ser vice life.
When the battery is on standby, access to
the vehicle is only possible by unlocking
the vehicle using the key in the lock barrel
in the driver's door.
After the battery is switched off, the
information (time, date, radio stations,
etc.) is stored.

Stop & Start
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby – STOP mode – during
stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc.).
The engine restarts automatically – START
mode – as soon as you wish to move off.
Restart is instantaneous, quick and silent.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions and offers the comfort of complete
silence when stationary.
Going into engine STOP
mode
With the vehicle stationary, put the gear lever
into neutral, then release the clutch pedal.This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby.
Automatic stopping of the engine is only
possible after the vehicle has exceeded
a
speed of about 6 mph (10 km/h), to avoid
repeated stopping of the engine when
driving slowly. Never leave your vehicle before turning off
the ignition with the key.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
using the key.

Operation
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal pressed,
from the time you release the brake pedal,
without using the parking brake, you have
approximately 2 seconds to move off before the
vehicle starts to roll back.
During the moving off phase, the function is
deactivated automatically, gradually releasing
the braking pressure. During this phase,
it is possible to perceive the typical noise
of mechanical brake release signalling the
imminent movement of the vehicle. Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held temporarily by hill start assist.
If you need to get out of the vehicle with
the engine running, apply the parking
brake manually then ensure that the
parking brake indicator lamp is on.
Hill start assist is deactivated in the following
situations:
-
w
hen the clutch pedal is released,
-
w
hen the parking brake is applied,
-
w
hen the engine is switched off,
-
i
f the engine stalls.

o ccurs, this warning lamp comes
on accompanied by an audible
signal and confirmed by a
message
in the screen. Have it checked by
a
PEUGEOT dealer or by a qualified
workshop.
Traffic sign recognition
This system is a driving aid that uses a camera
l ocated at the top of the windscreen.
The camera detects the following types of signs
and displays the corresponding information in
the instrument panel:
-
sp

eed limits,
-

n
o overtaking,
-

e
nd of the above-mentioned limits/
restrictions.
The system detects the signs on the left and on
