Driving
Driving recommendations
► Observe the driving regulations and remain 
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
►
 
Monitor your environment 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 before performing operations 
that require sustained attention (e.g.
  settings).
►
 
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.
Be aware of the external dimensions, if ladders 
are fitted.
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.
Maintenance
Inflate to the minimum pressure indicated on the 
label, or even over-inflate by 0.2 to 0.3 bar for 
long journeys.
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!
Never park the vehicle and never 
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 drive on surfaces covered with 
vegetation (e.g.   tall grass, 
accumulated dead leaves, crops, debris) 
such as a field, a country lane overgrown 
with bushes or a grassy verge.
This vegetation could come into contact with 
the vehicle's exhaust system
  or other systems 
which are very hot. Risk of fire!
Make sure you do not leave any item in 
the passenger compartment which could 
act like a magnifying glass under the effect of 
the sun's rays and cause a fire. Risk of fire or 
damage to interior surfaces!
Never leave the 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 
or drive selector into neutral or position  N or P 
(depending on version).
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 your vehicle's 
electrical systems.

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 remote control 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.
A few seconds after switching off the ignition, 
this system locks the engine control system, 
therefore preventing the engine from being 
started in the event of a break-in.
In the event of a fault, you are informed 
by illumination of this warning lamp, an 
audible signal and a message on the screen.
The vehicle will not start; contact a PEUGEOT 
dealer as soon as possible.
