Rear seat belts 
 
 
► The system becomes active at speeds 
below 19 mph (30   km/h); this lamp comes 
on in green in the instrument panel.
►
 
When the vehicle begins its descent, you can 
release the accelerator and brake pedals; the 
system regulates the speed:
– if the gearbox is in first or second gear , 
the speed decreases and the 
indicator
  lamp flashes rapidly,
–
 
if the gearbox is in neutral or if the clutch pedal 
is depressed, the speed decreases and the 
indicator
  lamp flashes slowly; in this case, the 
maintained descent speed is lower.
On a descent, with the vehicle stationary, if you 
release the accelerator and brake pedals, the 
system will release the brakes to set the vehicle 
gradually in motion.
The brake lamps light up automatically when the 
system is regulating.
If the speed exceeds 19 mph (30
  km/h), 
regulation is paused automatically, the 
indicator
  lamp goes back to grey in the 
instrument panel, but the green indicator lamp in 
the button remains on.
Regulation resumes automatically when the 
speed falls below 19 mph (30
  km/h) again, if the 
slope and pedal release conditions are met.
You can depress the accelerator or brake pedal 
again at any time.
Off
► Press the button until its indicator lamp goes 
off; the indicator lamp on the instrument panel 
also goes off.
At speeds above 43 mph (70
  km/h), the system 
is automatically deactivated; the indicator lamp in

Malfunction
If a fault occurs with the system, this 
warning lamp comes on in green, 
accompanied by the display of a message in the 
instrument panel.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Seat belts
Inertia reel
The seat belts are equipped with an inertia reel 
which allows the strap length to automatically 
adjust to your shape. The seat belt returns to its 
storage automatically when it is not used.
The inertia reels are fitted with a device which 
automatically locks the strap in the event of a 
collision, emergency braking or if the vehicle rolls 
over. It can be released by pulling the strap firmly 
and then releasing it so that it reels in slightly.
Pyrotechnic pretensioning
This system improves safety in the event of a 
frontal or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the 
pyrotechnic pretensioning system instantly 
tightens the seat belts against the body of the 
occupants.
The pyrotechnic pretensioning seat belts are 
enabled when the ignition is on.
Force limiter
This system reduces the pressure of the seat 
belt on the chest of the occupant, thus improving 
their protection.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and 
seriousness of impacts, the pyrotechnic 
pretensioner device may trigger before 
and independently of airbag deployment. 
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 belt 
system checked, and if necessary replaced, 
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a pyrotechnic 
pretensioning system and force limiter.

Driving
Once the state of charge of the battery drops to 
the reserve level, the system switches to energy 
economy mode : the power supply is cut off 
automatically to preserve the remaining battery 
charge.
Starting the engine
With the parking brake applied:
► With a manual gearbox, place the gear lever 
in neutral then fully depress the clutch pedal.
►  With an automatic gearbox, place the gear 
selector in mode  N or P then fully depress the 
brake pedal.
►  Insert the key into the ignition switch; the 
system recognises the code.
►  Unlock the steering column by simultaneously 
turning the steering wheel and the key.
In certain cases, you may have to apply 
significant force to move the steering 
wheel (wheels on full lock, for example).
►  With a petrol engine , operate the starter 
motor by turning the key to position  3 without 
pressing the accelerator pedal, until the engine 
starts. Once the engine starts, release the key.
With petrol engines , after a cold start, 
preheating the catalytic converter can 
cause noticeable engine vibrations for 
anything up to 2 minutes while stationary with 
the engine running (accelerated idle speed).
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
► 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.
Tyres
► Check the tyre pressures of the towing 
vehicle and of the trailer , observing the 
recommended pressures.
Lighting
► 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 causes the coolant 
temperature to increase. The maximum towable 
load depends on the gradient and the exterior  temperature. The fan’s cooling capacity does not 
increase with engine speed.
►
 
Reduce speed and lower the engine speed to 
limit heating up.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant 
temperature.
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 the brakes, the use 
of engine braking is recommended.
Side wind
Bear in mind that the vehicle will be more 
susceptible to wind when towing.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The keys include an electronic engine 
immobiliser system, whose secret code must be 
recognised in order for starting to be possible.
