2019 Peugeot 208 warning light

64
Advice
The driver must ensure that passengers
use the seat belts correctly and that they
are all fastened before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for
short journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles
as they will not fulfil their role fully.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia
reel permitting automatic adjustment of
the length of the strap to your size. The
seat belt is stowed automatically when not
in use.
The inertia reels have an automatic
locking device at the time of a collision,
during sudden braking or if the vehicle
turns over. You can release the device by
pulling the strap firmly and then releasing
it so that it reels in slightly.
Before and after use, ensure that the seat
belt is reeled in correctly.
After folding or moving a
seat or rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is
positioned and reeled in correctly. Installation
The lower part of the strap must be
positioned as low as possible on the
pelvis.
The upper part must be positioned in the
hollow of the shoulder.
In order to be effective, a seat belt must:
-

b
e tightened as close to the body as
possible,
-

b
e pulled in front of you with a smooth
movement, checking that it does not
twist,
-

b
e used to restrain only one person,
-

n
ot show any signs of cuts or fraying,
-

n
ot be converted or modified to avoid
affecting its performance.
Recommendations for children
Use a
suitable child seat if the passenger
is less than 12
years old or shorter than
one and a
half metres.
Never use the same seat belt to secure
more than one child.
Never allow a
child to travel on your lap.
For more information on Child seats , refer
to the corresponding section. Maintenance
In accordance with current safety
regulations, for all repairs on your
vehicle's seat belts, go to a
qualified
workshop with the skills and equipment
needed, which a
PEUGEOT dealer is able
to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly
by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop, particularly if the straps show
signs of damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapy
water or a
textile cleaning product, sold by
PEUGEOT dealers.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and
seriousness of the impact , the
pyrotechnic pretensioner may be deployed
before and independently of the airbags.
Deployment of the pretensioners is
accompanied by a
slight discharge of
harmless smoke and a
noise, due to the
activation of the pyrotechnic cartridge
incorporated in the system.
In all cases, the airbag warning lamp
comes on.
Following an impact, have the seat
belts system checked and, if necessary,
replaced, by a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
Safety

81
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to wind.
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 tow 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.
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid
functions are automatically disabled if an
approved towing device is used.
Starting – Switching off
the engine
Ignition switch
1. Stop position.
2. Ignition on position.
3. Start position.
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
With a manual gearbox, p lace the gear
selector in neutral then fully depress the clutch
pedal.
With an automatic gearbox , place the gear
selector at P or N then fully depress the brake
pedal.

Driving

83
F Pull the parking brake lever up slightly, press the release button then lower the
lever fully.
When the vehicle is being driven,
if this warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come on, accompanied
by an audible signal and a
message
on the screen, this indicates that the
parking brake is still applied or has
not been fully released. Remember
to fully lower the parking brake lever.
Applying
F Pull the lever up to immobilise your vehicle. When parking on a steep slope, direct
your wheels against the kerb, apply the
parking brake, engage a gear opposite
to the direction the vehicle is facing and
switch off the ignition.
On return to the vehicle, remember that
a gear had been engaged before starting
the engine.
If excessive travel or a loss of
effectiveness of this system is noticed,
the parking brake must be checked, even
between two services.
Checks of this safety-related system
must be carried by a PEUGEOT dealer or
a

qualified workshop.
Manual gearbox
5-speed
F Move the gear lever fully to the right to
engage 5th g e a r.
Engaging reverse gear
F Move the gear lever to the right then pull it back.
Only engage reverse gear when the
vehicle is stationary with the engine at idle.

Driving

86
If the lever is not in position P, an alert
message appears on the screen on
opening the driver's door or approximately
45
seconds after switching off the ignition.
F

R
eposition the lever at position P ; the
message disappears.
When driving on flooded roads or when
crossing a
ford, proceed at walking pace.
When the ignition is on, the lighting
of this warning lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal and a
message
on the screen, indicates a
gearbox
fault.
In this case, the gearbox goes into back-up
mode by staying in 3rd gear. You may feel
a

substantial jolt when changing from P to
R and from N to R . This will not cause any
damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 62
mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible. There is a
risk of damage to the gearbox:
F i f you press the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time,
F

w
ith a flat battery, if you force the
movement of the lever from position P
to another position.
To reduce fuel consumption during
prolonged stops with the engine running
(e.g. traffic jam), position the gear lever at
N and apply the parking brake.
Gear shift indicator
(Depending on engine.)
System which reduces fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one or more gears. You can
follow this indication without engaging the
intermediate gears.
Gear shift recommendations must not be
considered as compulsory. In fact, the road
layout, the traffic density and safety remain the
deciding factors when choosing the best gear. With an automatic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual operation.
The information appears in the
instrument panel, in the form of an
ascending or descending arrow and
the recommended gear.
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 reverse.
On vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox,
the arrow may be accompanied by the
gear recommended. The system always
recommends to change up if necessary.
Depending on the engine, it may also
recommend to change down if necessary.
The driver therefore remains responsible for
deciding whether or not to follow the indications
issued by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
Driving

87
Hill start assist
System that holds your vehicle for around
2 seconds, the time it takes to move your foot
from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.
The hill start assist function cannot be
deactivated. However, use of the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle interrupts
its function. Hill start assist is only available when:
-

y
our foot on the brake pedal fully
immobilises the vehicle,
-

c
ertain slope conditions are met,
-

t
he driver's door is closed.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 is on fixed in the
instrument panel.
Malfunction
If a fault in the system occurs, these warning
l amps come on. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a
qualified workshop to have the system
checked.
Uphill, with the vehicle stationar y, the
vehicle is held for a

shor t time when you
release the brake pedal.
With an automatic gearbox, if you are in
position D . Downhill, with the vehicle stationary and
reverse gear engaged, the vehicle is held
for a

shor t time when you release the brake
pedal.
Stop & Start
The 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 again. Restarting
occurs instantaneously, 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.
STOP mode
This indicator lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and the engine
goes into standby.
With BlueHDi Diesel and manual gearbox :
- A s soon as the vehicle stops or the speed is less
than 2
mph (3 km/h) (with 1.5 BlueHDi engine).
