function must be reinitialised.
The anti-pinch function is disabled during the
following sequence of operations.
For the driver’s window:
► Raise the window until it is fully closed.
► Release then pull the control for at least one
second after the window reaches the closed
position. Repeat the operation twice in a row.
► Lower the window fully.
If an electric window meets an obstacle
during operation, the movement of the
window must be reversed. To do this, press
the relevant control.
When the driver operates the passengers’
electric window controls, it is important to
ensure that nothing can prevent the window
from closing properly.
It is important to ensure that passengers use
the electric windows correctly.
Pay particular attention to children when
operating the windows.
Be aware of passengers and/or other persons
present when closing windows remotely using
the electronic key.

Ease of use and comfort
These applications can be managed using the
steering-mounted controls or the audio system
controls.
When the USB socket is used, the
portable device charges automatically.
For more information about how to use this
equipment, refer to the sections describing
the audio and telematics systems.
Front armrest

the USB/Jack sockets or charged from the 12
V accessories socket in the centre console.
Closing
► Close the cover until it locks.
Mats
Fitting
When fitting it on the driver's side, only use

Driving
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
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.
►
Pay constant 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
Using the engine brake is recommended to limit
the overheating of the brakes. Braking distances
are increased when towing a trailer.
Side wind
Bear in mind that the vehicle will be more
susceptible to wind when towing.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The keys contain a code, which must be
recognised by the vehicle before starting is
possible.
If the system malfunctions, indicated by the
display of a message, the engine will not start.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Starting / Switching off the
engine with the key
Key ignition switch
It has 4 positions:
1. Stop Inserting/removing the key, steering column
locked.
2. Accessories Steering column unlocked and audio system.
3. IgnitionIgnition, preheating (Diesel), engine starting.
4. Starting
Avoid attaching heavy objects to the key or the remote control. This would weigh
down on its shaft in the ignition switch and
could cause a malfunction.
Ignition position
This allows the use of the vehicle's electrical
equipment (ventilation, electric windows) or the
charging of accessories.
Once the battery charge level drops to the
reserve level, the system switches to energy
economy mode. The power supply is cut off
automatically to preserve the remaining battery
charge.
Starting the engine
With the parking brake applied:
► With a manual gearbox, place the gear lever
in neutral then fully depress the clutch pedal.
► With an automatic gearbox, place the gear
selector in mode N or P then depress the brake
pedal.
► Insert the key into the ignition switch; the
system recognises the code.
► Unlock the steering column by simultaneously
turning the steering wheel and the key.

motor by turning the key to position 4 without
pressing the accelerator pedal, until the engine
starts. As soon as the engine starts, release the
key so it returns to position 3.
Petrol engines
With Petrol engines, after a cold start,
pre-heating the catalytic converter can cause
noticeable engine vibrations, for anything up
to 2 minutes (accelerated idle speed).
►
With a
Diesel engine, turn the key to position
3, to
activate the engine preheating system.
Wait until this warning lamp goes off on
the instrument panel, then turn the key to
position 4 without pressing the accelerator pedal,

engine starts, release the key so it returns to
position 3.
In wintry conditions, the warning lamp
may stay on for a longer period. When
the engine is hot, the warning lamp does not
come on.
In mild conditions, do not leave the engine
to warm up while stationary, but move off
straight away and drive at moderate speed.
If the engine does not start straight away,
switch off the ignition. Wait a few
seconds before operating the starter motor
again. If the engine does not start after a few
attempts, do not keep trying - risk of
damaging the starter motor and the engine!
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If the wheels are not straight, a message
appears prompting the driver to
straighten the wheels by turning the steering
wheel.
Switching off the engine
► Immobilise the vehicle.
► With the engine at idle, turn the key to
position 2
.
►
Insert the key one notch into the ignition
switch and turn it to position 1
