Driving
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.
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 your vehicle's
electrical systems.
If the vehicle absolutely must drive through a
flooded section of road:
► Check that the depth of the 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.
After driving on a flooded road, you must
have the level and condition of the oil in
the front and rear transmission axles checked
by 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.
Hill start assist
System which briefly keeps the vehicle stationary (for approximately 2 seconds) when making a hill start, while you transfer your foot from the brake
pedal to the accelerator pedal.
It is only active when:
– The vehicle is completely stationary , with your foot on the brake pedal.– Certain slope conditions are met.– The driver’s door is closed.
Do not leave the vehicle while it is being
held temporarily by hill start assist.
If someone needs to get out of the vehicle
with the engine running, apply the parking
brake manually. Then check that the parking
brake indicator lamp is on fixed on the
instrument panel.
The hill start assist function cannot be deactivated. However, use of the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle interrupts its
operation.

Driving
Operation
Facing uphill, with the vehicle stationary,
the vehicle is held for a short time when the
driver releases the brake pedal:
– If first gear or neutral is engaged on a manual gearbox.– If mode D or +/- is used on an automatic
gearbox.
Facing downhill, with the vehicle stationary
and reverse gear engaged, the vehicle is held
for a short time when the driver releases the
brake pedal.
While the vehicle is being held, a
message is displayed on the instrument
panel to indicate that the function has been
activated while facing uphill or downhill.
Malfunction
These warning lamps come on in the event of a malfunction,
accompanied by the display of a message.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.

Practical information
7Checks
Unless otherwise indicated, check these
components in accordance with the
manufacturer's service schedule and according
to your engine.
Otherwise, have them checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
components as important as those in the
braking system, PEUGEOT selects and offers
very specific products.
Automatic gearbox
For any information on gearbox
maintenance, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop.

In the event of a breakdown
Spare wheel
Fitting a wheel
Fixing of the steel spare wheel
If the vehicle is equipped with alloy
wheels, the washers do not make contact with
the steel spare wheel. The wheel is secured
by the conical surface of each nut.
► Clean the contact surfaces between the wheel and the hub.► Fit the wheel on the hub.
► Screw in the nuts by hand as far as possible.► Pre-tighten the nuts using the wheelbrace 2.
► Lower the vehicle again fully .► Fold jack 4 and remove it.
► Tighten the nuts using the wheelbrace 2,
respecting the cross tightening order.
► Refit the wheel trim (depending on equipment).► Disassemble the extension 3 and the
wheelbrace 2.
► Store the tools.
After changing a wheel
The use of the non-standard steel spare
wheel is temporary. The driver must drive
carefully at a moderate speed and limit the
distance covered.
Visit a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible to have the
tightness of the nuts and the pressure of the
spare wheel checked.
Have the punctured tyre examined. After
inspection, the technician will advise you on
whether the tyre can be repaired or if it must
be replaced.
