6Driving recommendations
► Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
►

Monitor your surroundings and keep your
hands on the wheel to be able to react to
anything that may happen any time.
►


Drive smoothly
, anticipate the need for
braking and maintain a longer safety distance,
especially in bad weather.
►

Stop the vehicle to carry out operations that
require close attention (such as adjustments).
►


During long trips, take a break every 2 hours.
T

o ensure the durability of the vehicle and
for safety reasons, remember that certain
precautionary measures must be taken when
driving the vehicle:
Manoeuvre cautiously, at low speed
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.
Load the vehicle correctly
Observe the Gross Train Weight.
To avoid unbalancing the vehicle, centre the
load, placing the heaviest part on the floor in
front of the rear wheels.
Observe the maximum weight for the roof
anchoring points, communicated by a PEUGEOT
dealer. Loads must be securely lashed down.
Loads that are not properly secured in the
loading bay can disturb the vehicle’s behaviour
and cause an accident.
The dimensions of the load in the loading
bay
must respect the (overall) dimensions of the
vehicle.
Drive the vehicle carefully
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.
Avoid rough manoeuvres; improper driving can
lead to loss of control of the vehicle.
Precautions for off-road driving
Before driving off-road:
– Check the engine oil level.
–

Check the condition of the wheels and tyres.
–


Make sure that you transport the tool kit as
well as specialised equipment adapted to the
terrain.
Driving on uneven terrain or roads increases the
risk of the vehicle being damaged and the driver
or passengers being injured. Drive carefully
according to the conditions of the conditions.
–


Fasten seat belts (even at low speed).
–


Do not hold the steering wheel on the inside
or by its spokes (risk of injury due to the wheel
spinning back).
– Do not accelerate suddenly and do not drive at
excessive speed.
–

Do not make sharp turns.
–


A
void dangerous areas and avoid hitting
obstacles.
–

Do not drive perpendicularly or turn around on
a steep slope (risk of tipping over). Go up/down
or reverse in a straight line (with reverse gear
engaged if reversing).
–


Never reverse on a steep slope in neutral or
with the clutch pedal depressed (with a manual
gearbox).
On a descent, the vehicle speed can increase
without any action on the accelerator pedal.
In this case, use the engine brake to slow the
vehicle down. If necessary

, depress the brake
pedal without using it for an extended period
(risk of overheating the braking system).
As a precautionary measure, anticipate the
arrival at the top of a slope (steep slope on the
other side or presence of obstacle).
It is recommended to clean the brakes
regularly after driving off-road. In the
event of noise or loss of braking efficiency, it
is essential to visit a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop to have the braking
system checked.
Maintenance
Inflate to the minimum pressure indicated on the
label, or even over-inflate by 0.2 to 0.3 bar for
long journeys.

Driving
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.
Check and clean the vehicle after each off-road
trip.
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 very 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
damaging the braking system!
Do not park the vehicle or leave the
engine running on a flammable
surface (e.g. dry grass, dead leaves).The
vehicle exhaust system 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.


If you are obliged to drive on a flooded road:
► check that the depth of water does not
exceed 60
cm, taking account of waves that
might be generated by other users,
►

drive as slowly as possible without stalling. In
all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10

km/h),
►

do 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.
Towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
particular care must be taken.
Do not exceed the maximum towable
weights.
At altitude: reduce the maximum load by
10% per 1,000 metres of altitude; the lower
air density at high altitudes decreases engine
performance.
New vehicle: do not tow a trailer until the
vehicle has 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
► 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

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

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, with a code that must be
recognised in order for starting to be possible.
If the system malfunctions, indicated by the
display of a message, the engine will not start.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

Practical information
Opening
► Open the left-hand front door.



► Pull the interior release lever, located at the
bottom of the dashboard, towards you.


► Tilt the exterior safety catch to the left and
raise the bonnet.
► Unclip the stay from its housing and place it
in the support slot to hold the bonnet open.
* Depending on engine.
► Fit the snow chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer .
►

Move off gently and drive for a few moments,
without exceeding 19

mph (30 km/h) for metal
snow chains or 31 mph (50 km/h) for plastic
snow chains.
►

Stop the vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
It is strongly recommended that you
practise fitting the snow chains on a level
and dry surface before setting off.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads that have been cleared of snow to avoid
damaging the vehicle's tyres and the road
surface. If the vehicle is fitted with alloy
wheels, check that no part of the chain or its
fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
Always use snow chains compatible with the tyre size. Chains that are the wrong
size can damage the braking system,
suspension, bodywork and wheels.
Remove the wheel trims before installing the
snow chains.
Never exceed the maximum speed limit
stated in the snow chains user guide.
Roof bars
As a safety measure and to avoid damaging the roof, it is essential to use
transverse roof bars approved for your
vehicle.
Observe the instructions on fitting and use
contained in the guide supplied with the roof
bars.
Maximum load distributed over the roof
bars, for a loading height not exceeding
40 cm: 100
kg.
As this value may change, please verify the
maximum load quoted in the guide supplied
with the roof bars.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the speed
of the vehicle to the profile of the road to
avoid damaging the roof bars and the fixings
on the vehicle.
Be sure to refer to national legislation in order
to comply with the regulations for transporting
objects that are longer than the vehicle.
Recommendations
Distribute the load uniformly, taking care
to avoid overloading one of the sides.
Arrange the heaviest part of the load as close
as possible to the roof.
Secure the load firmly.
Drive gently: the vehicle will be more
susceptible to the effects of side winds and its
stability may be affected.
Regularly check the security and tight
fastening of the roof bars, at least before each
trip.
Remove the roof bars once they are no longer
needed.
Bonnet
When the engine is hot, handle the
exterior safety catch and the bonnet stay
with care (risk of burns), using the protected
area.
When the bonnet is open, take care not to
damage the safety catch.
Do not open the bonnet under very windy
conditions.
Cooling of the engine when stopped
The engine cooling fan may start after
the engine has been switched off.
Take care with objects or clothing that
could be caught in the blades of the fan!
