Driving recommendations
Obser ve the Highway Code 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 bad weather, drive smoothly, anticipate the 
need to brake and increase the safety distance.
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!
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.
In case of towing
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 function,
-
 
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. Driving with a trailer places greater 
demands on the towing vehicle and 
requires extra care from the driver.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity 
to wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the 
temperature 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.

Removable snow shield 
Depending on country, the removable snow 
shield is installed on the lower part of the front 
bumper, to avoid the accumulation of snow at 
the radiator cooling fan.Do not forget to remove the removable 
snow shield when the exterior temperature 
is higher than 10°C (no risk of snowfall) or 
if you are towing.

This must be done at the inter vals specified in 
the manufacturer's servicing schedule. Ask for 
advice from a PEUGEOT dealer.
Engine oil grade
In all cases, the chosen oil must meet 
the requirements in accordance with the 
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Brake fluid level
Coolant levelWhen the engine is hot, the temperature of the 
coolant is regulated by the electric fan. This 
may operate with the ignition off; furthermore, 
because the cooling system is under pressure, 
wait for at least one hour after the engine has 
stopped before carrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap 
by a quarter of a turn to allow the pressure to 
drop. Once the pressure has dropped, remove 
the cap and top up the level with the coolant.
If coolant has to be added frequently, this 
indicates a failure which must be checked by a 
PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
To p p i n g  u p
Oil change
The brake fluid must be changed at the 
inter vals prescribed according to the 
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Use brake fluid recommended by the 
manufacturer, meeting the DOT4 standards.
The level must be between the MIN and MA X 
marks on the reservoir.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this indicates 
a malfunction which must be checked by a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop as 
soon as possible.
Only use coolant recommended by the 
manufacturer.
Otherwise you risk causing serious damage to 
your engine.

Characteristics of engines 
and towed loads
Engines
The engine specifications (capacity, max. 
power, max. speed, energy, CO
2 emissions, 
etc.) associated with your vehicle are indicated 
on the registration document, as well as in 
sales brochures.
These characteristics correspond to the values 
type-approved on a test bed, under conditions 
defined in European legislation (Directive 
1999/99/EC).
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Weights and towed loads
The weights and towed loads relating to 
your vehicle are indicated on the registration 
document, as well as in sales brochures.
These values are also indicated on the 
manufacturer's plate or label.
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop. The GTW values and the towed loads listed are 
valid for a maximum altitude of 1,000
  metres. 
The towed load must be reduced by steps of 
10% for each additional 1,000   metres.
The maximum authorised nose weight 
corresponds to the weight permitted on the 
towball.
GT W:  Gross train weight.
When exterior temperatures are high, 
the vehicle per formance may be limited 
in order to protect the engine. When the 
exterior temperature is higher than 37°C, 
limit the towed weight.
Towing using a lightly loaded vehicle can 
adversely affect roadholding.
Braking distances are increased when 
towing a trailer.
When using a vehicle to tow, never 
exceed a speed of approximately 60   mph 
(100
  km/h) (obser ve the local legislation 
in force). If the exterior temperature is high, it is 
recommended that the engine is allowed 
to idle for 1 to 2
  minutes after the vehicle 
comes to a stop, to facilitate its cooling.
