Switching off the vehicle
To switch off the engine, select position P .
You must without fail apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle.
To remove the key from the ignition, the drive
selector must be in position P .
To tow your vehicle, the drive selector
must be in position N .

Tyre under-inflation
detection
System which automatically checks the
pressures of all four tyres from when the
ignition is switched on.
The pressure sensors are located in the valves
of each tyre.
The system triggers an alert as soon as
it detects a drop in the pressure of one or
more tyres by comparison with the reference
pressure stored in the system. This reference
pressure must be reinitialised after every tyre
pressure adjustment or wheel change.
The system operates provided that the
sensor identifiers have been first logged by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
You can log two sets of tyres (for example:
wheels with "all weather" tyres and wheels with
"winter" tyres).
The tyre under-inflation detection system
is a driving aid which does not replace the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
F Take your foot off the brake pedal, and the vehicle will move at a low speed to make
manoeuvring easier.

This system still requires you to check the
tyre inflation pressure every month as well
as before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
handling, extends braking distances and
causes premature tyre wear, particularly
in adverse conditions (heavy loads, high
speeds, long journeys).Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The tyre pressure specifications for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding section.
Tyre pressures should be checked when
the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for
1
hour or after a journey of less than
6
miles (10 km) at moderate speeds).
Other wise, add 0.3

F

I

n case of a puncture, use the temporary
puncture repair kit. The alert persists until the reference
pressure values are reinitialised once the
tyre or tyres concerned are reinflated,
repaired or replaced. In case of tyre repair
or replacement, the sensor identifiers
must be logged by a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop.
Resetting the reference
pressures
The system must be reinitialised after any
adjustment to the pressures of one or more
tyres, and after changing one or more wheels.
Before reinitialising the system, ensure
that the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line with the recommendations on the tyre
pressure label.
The under-inflation detection system
does not give a warning if a pressure is
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.

Towing the vehicle
Procedure for having your vehicle towed using
a fixed towing eye.General recommendations
Obser ve the legislation in force in your
c o u nt r y.
Ensure that the weight of the towing
vehicle is higher than that of the towed
vehicle.
The driver must remain at the wheel of
the towed vehicle and must have a valid
driving licence.
When towing a vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground, always use an
approved towing arm; rope and straps are
prohibited.
The towing vehicle must move off gently.
When the vehicle is towed with its engine
off, there is no longer braking and steering
assistance.
In the following cases, you must always
call on a professional recovery ser vice:
-

v
ehicle broken down on a motor way or
main road,
-
f

our-wheel drive vehicle,
-

w
hen it is not possible to put the
gearbox into neutral, to unlock the
steering, or to release the parking
brake,
-

t
owing with only two wheels on the
ground,
-

w
here there is no approved towbar
available.
Towing your vehicle
The towing eye is welded to the chassis under
the front bumper.
F

I
nstall the towbar.
F

S
tart your vehicle ("Ready" lamp on).
F

M
ove the drive selector to position N .
F

R
elease the parking brake.
F

T
urn on your vehicle's hazard warning
lamps.
F

H
ave your vehicle towed for no more than
20
miles (30 km) without exceeding the
speed of 20
mph (30 km/h).
Failure to comply with these operations
may cause damage to the braking
components and the electric motor.
Towing another vehicle
Your vehicle cannot in any circumstances
be used to tow another vehicle.
