Range
(miles or km)Distance that can still be travelled with the
fuel remaining in the tank (based on the
average fuel consumption over the last few miles
(kilometres) travelled).
This value may vary following a change in driving
style or relief, resulting in a significant change in
the current fuel consumption.
When the range falls below 19 miles (30
km),
dashes are displayed.
After filling with at least 5 litres of fuel, the range
is recalculated and is displayed if it exceeds 62
miles (100
km).
If dashes instead of figures continue to be
displayed while driving, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Current consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)Calculated during the last few seconds. This function is only displayed at speeds above
19 mph (30
km/h).

Driving
Starting with the key
The parking brake must be applied.
► With a manual gearbox in neutral, fully
depress the clutch pedal.
► With an automatic gearbox in mode P or N,
fully depress the brake pedal.
► Insert the key into the ignition switch.
– The system recognises the starting code.
► Unlock the steering column by simultaneously
turning the steering wheel and the key.
In some cases, you may have to apply
some force to turn the wheels (if the
wheels are turned against a kerb, 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. As soon as the engine starts, release the
key.
► With a Diesel engine, turn the key to position
2, ignition on, to operate the engine preheating
system.
► Wait until this warning lamp goes off in
the instrument panel, then turn the key to
position 3 without pressing the accelerator pedal,
to operate the starter motor until the engine
starts. As soon as the engine starts, release the
key.
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 the amount of heating produced.
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 key 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.
This electronic engine immobiliser locks the
engine management system a few minutes after
the ignition is switched off, and prevents the
engine being started by anyone who does not
have the key.
In the event of a fault, you are informed
by illumination of this warning lamp, an
audible signal and a message in the screen.In
this case, your vehicle will not start; contact a
PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
Keep safely, away from your vehicle, the
label attached to the keys given to you
when you purchased your vehicle.
