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.
