Driving recommendations
F Observe the driving regulations and remain vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
F
 
M
 onitor your environment and keep your 
hands on the wheel to be able to react to 
anything that may happen any time.
F
 
D
 rive smoothly, anticipate the need for 
braking and maintain a longer safety 
distance, especially in bad weather.
F
 
S
 top the vehicle to carry out operations 
that require close attention (such as 
adjustments).
F
 
D
 uring long trips, take a break every two 
hours.
To assure the durability of your vehicle and 
for safety reasons, remember that certain 
precautions, described hereafter, should be 
taken when driving your vehicle:
Manoeuvre cautiously, at low 
speed
The dimensions of this vehicle differ greatly 
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.
Drive the vehicle in a cautious 
and 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.
Be careful
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.
Important!
Never leave the engine running in 
a closed space without sufficient 
ventilation.  Internal combustion engines 
emit toxic exhaust gases such as carbon 
monoxide. Danger of poisoning and death!
In severe wintry conditions (temperature 
below -23°C), let the engine run for 4 
minutes before moving off, to ensure the 
correct operation and durability of the 
mechanical components of your vehicle 
(engine and gearbox). Never drive with the parking brake 
applied
. Risk of overheating and damage 
to the braking system!
Do not park the vehicle or leave the 
engine running on a flammable sur face 
(dr y grass, dead leaves, etc.). The 
exhaust system of your vehicle is very 
hot, even several minutes after the engine 
stops. Risk of fire!
Never leave a vehicle unattended 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).
Never leave children inside the vehicle 
unsupervised .
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. 
Driving   

139
In case of towing
Driving with a trailer places greater 
demands on the towing vehicle and 
requires extra care from the driver.Respect the maximum towable weights.
At altitude:
 reduce the maximum load 
by 10% per 1,000 metres of altitude; the 
density of the air decreases with altitude 
and the performance of the engine 
reduces.
New vehicle:  do not pull a trailer before 
having driven at least 620 miles (1,000 
kilometres).
If the outside temperature is high, let the 
engine idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the 
vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.
Before setting off
Nose weight
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the  heaviest items are as close as possible to 
the axle and the nose weight (at the point 
where it joins your vehicle) approaches the 
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
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 signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height of your 
vehicle.
If a genuine PEUGEOT towing device 
is used, the rear parking sensors will be 
deactivated automatically to avoid the 
audible signal.
When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill increases the 
temperature of the coolant. The maximum 
towable load depends on the gradient and the 
exterior temperature. The cooling capacity of 
the fan does not increase with engine speed.
F
 
T
 o reduce the heating up, reduce the 
vehicle speed and the engine speed.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant 
temperature.
If you are obliged to drive on a flooded road:
F
 
c
heck that the depth of water does not 
exceed 15
 
cm, taking account of waves that 
might be generated by other users,
F
 
d
eactivate the Stop & Start function,
F
 
d
rive as slowly as possible without stalling. 
In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10
 
km/h),
F
 
d
o not stop and do not switch off the engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as safety 
conditions 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.

If this warning lamp and the STOP 
warning lamp come on, stop the 
vehicle and switch off the engine as 
soon as possible.
Brakes
Braking distances are increased when towing a 
trailer. To avoid overheating of the brakes, the 
use of engine braking is recommended.
Side wind
Bear in mind the increased sensitivity to wind 
that your vehicle will have.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The remote control contains an electronic chip 
which has a special 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 the event of a fault, you are 
informed by illumination of this 
warning lamp, an audible signal and 
a message on the screen. The vehicle will not start; contact a PEUGEOT 
dealer as soon as possible.

For Diesel vehicles, in sub-zero 
temperatures, the engine will not 
start until the pre-heater warning 
lamp has gone off.
If this warning lamp comes on 
after pressing the "START/
STOP" button, press down on 
the brake or clutch pedal until the 
warning lamp goes off, without 
pressing the "START/STOP" 
button again, until the engine 
starts and runs.
The presence of the "Keyless Entry and 
Starting" system remote control in the 
recognition zone is essential.
Never leave the vehicle with the engine 
running and with the remote control on 
your person.
If the remote control leaves the 
recognition zone, a message is displayed.
Move the remote control into the zone in 
order to be able to start the engine. If one of the starting conditions is not 
met, a message is displayed in the 
instrument panel. In some circumstances, 
it is required to turn the steering wheel 
slightly while pressing the "START/STOP" 
button to assist unlocking of the steering 
column; a message warns you when this 
is needed.

To facilitate unlocking of the steering 
column, it is recommended that the 
wheels be returned to the straight ahead 
position before switching off the engine.
F
 
C
 heck that the parking brake is correctly 
applied, particularly on sloping ground. Never switch off the ignition before the 
complete immobilisation of the vehicle. 
With the engine off, the braking and 
steering assistance systems are also 
turned off: risk of loss of control of the 
vehicle.
As a safety measure, never leave the 
vehicle without taking the remote control 
with you, even for a short time.
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.
Key left in the ignition
When opening the driver's door, an alert 
message is displayed, accompanied by an 
audible signal, to remind you that the key 
is still in the ignition switch at position
  1 
(Stop) .
If the key has been left in the ignition 
switch at position 2 (Ignition on) , the 
ignition will be switched off automatically 
after one hour.
To switch the ignition back on, turn the 
key to position 1 (Stop) , then back to 
position
 
2 (Ignition on) .
