Driving recommendations  
If you are obliged to drive through water:  
observe the driving regulations and remain  
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.  
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your  
hands on the wheel so that you are ready to  
react at any time to any eventuality.  
on a long journey, a break every two hours is  
strongly recommended.  
Important!  
Never drive with the parking brake  
applied - Risk of overheating and  
damage to the braking system!  
Risk of fire!  
As the exhaust system of your vehicle  
is very hot, even several minutes after  
switching off the engine, do not park  
or run the engine over areas where  
inflammable substances and materials  
are present : grass, leaves, etc.  
In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate  
the need to brake and increase the distance  
from other vehicles.  
-
check that the depth of water does not  
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves  
that might be generated by other users,  
deactivate the Stop & Start system,  
drive as slowly as possible without  
stalling. In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph  
(10 km/h),  
-
-
Driving on flooded roads  
Never leave a vehicle unsupervised  
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.  
-
do not stop and do not switch off the  
engine.  
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.  
on leaving the flooded road, as soon as  
circumstances allow, make several light brake  
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.  
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle, contact  
a PeugeoT dealer or a qualified workshop.  
192  
Driving  
To assure the durability of your vehicle and  
your safety, remember that certain precautions,  
described hereafter, should be taken when  
driving your vehicle:  
It is inadvisable to place heavy loads on a roof  
rack.  
Take care  
The tyres must be inflated to at least the  
Loading the roof rack also requires you not  
to exceed the maximum load on the roof rack  
anchorages. observe the maximum authorised  
weight, available from PeugeoT dealers.  
Loads must be securely lashed down.  
Cargo that is not properly secured inside the  
vehicle can adversely affect the handling of the  
vehicle and create the risk of accident.  
If your vehicle is fitted with a drop-side back,  
the height and width of the load must remain  
within the overall dimensions of the vehicle.  
pressures indicated on the label, even over-  
inflated by 0.2 to 0.3 bar for long journeys.  
After ensuring that no obstacle might prevent  
closing, guide the movement of the door at the  
right speed until it closes.  
Manoeuve cautiously,  
at low speed  
The dimensions of your vehicle differ from  
those of a light vehicle, in width, in height, as  
well as in length, and some obstacles will be  
more difficult to notice.  
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.  
Drive the vehicle in a  
prudent and efficient way  
Be aware of the external dimensions, if ladders  
are fitted.  
6
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.  
Load the vehicle correctly  
With a load carried, the vehicle must remain  
within the maximum authorised weight, the  
gross Vehicle Weight.  
effective eco-driving saves fuel; accelerate  
progressively, anticipate the need to slow down  
and adapt your speed to suit the situation.  
Indicate changes of direction well in advance  
so that you are seen by other road users.  
To avoid upsetting the balance of the vehicle,  
the load should be centred and the heaviest  
part placed on the floor in front of the rear  
wheels.  
193  
Driving  
When towing  
Distribution of loads  
Cooling  
Braking  
F
Distribute the load in the trailer so that the  
heaviest items are as close as possible to  
the axle and the nose weight approaches  
the maximum permitted without exceeding it  
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the  
temperature of the coolant.  
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling  
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.  
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.  
To avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of  
engine braking is recommended.  
.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus  
reducing engine performance. Above  
1 000 metres, the maximum towed load must  
be reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of  
altitude.  
F
To lower the engine speed, reduce your  
speed.  
The maximum towed load on a long incline  
depends on the gradient and the ambient  
temperature.  
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant  
temperature.  
Tyres  
F
Check the tyre pressures of the towing  
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the  
recommended pressures.  
For more information on Weights, refer  
to the corresponding section.  
Lighting  
F
If the warning lamp and the  
STOP warning lamp come on,  
stop the vehicle and switch off  
the engine as soon as possible.  
F
Check the electrical lighting and signalling  
on the trailer and the headlamp beam  
height of your vehicle.  
For more information on Adjusting the  
headlamp beam height, refer to the  
corresponding section.  
Side wind  
F
Take into account the increased sensitivity  
to side wind.  
If the ambient temperature is high, it  
is recommended that the engine be  
allowed to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after  
the vehicle comes to a stop, to facilitate  
its cooling.  
The rear parking sensors will be  
deactivated automatically to avoid the  
audible signal if a genuine PeugeoT  
towbar is used.

Driving  
gear shift indicator  
System which reduces fuel consumption by recommending the most suitable gear.  
Depending on the driving situation and your  
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise  
you to skip one or more gears.  
example:  
You can follow this instruction without going  
through the intermediate gears.  
on certain BlueHDi Diesel versions  
with manual gearbox, the system  
may suggest changing into neutral  
(N is displayed in the instrument  
panel) so that the engine can go into  
standby (SToP mode with Stop &  
Start), in certain driving conditions.  
-
The system may suggest that you engage  
a higher gear.  
The information appears in the instrument  
panel in the form of an arrow.  
on vehicles with manual gearbox, the arrow  
may be accompanied by the recommended  
gear.  
-
-
You are in third gear.  
You press the accelerator pedal.  
The gear engagement  
recommendations must not be  
considered compulsory.  
This is because the configuration of  
the road, traffic density and safety  
remain important factors in the  
choice of the best gear.  
The gear shift indicator system does not  
replace the need for vigilance on the  
part of the driver.  
The system adapts its gear change  
recommendation according to the  
driving conditions (gradient, load, ...)  
and the demands of the driver (power,  
acceleration, braking, ...).  
The system never suggests:

Stop & Start  
The Stop & Start system puts the engine  
temporarily into standby - SToP mode - during  
stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or  
other...). The engine restarts automatically -  
START mode - as soon as you want to move  
off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly  
and silently.  
(minutes / seconds or hours / minutes)  
If your vehicle has a manual gearbox, its  
speed must be below 12 mph (20 km/h) or  
stationary (depending on engine); the "eCo"  
indicator lamp comes on in the instrument  
panel and the engine goes into standby  
automatically when you place the gear lever in  
neutral and you release the clutch pedal.  
If your vehicle is fitted with  
Stop & Start, a time counter  
calculates the time spent in  
SToP mode during a journey.  
It resets to zero every time the ignition is  
switched on.  
Perfect for urban use, the Stop & Start system  
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust  
emissions as well as the noise level when  
stationary.  
For your comfort, during parking  
manoeuvres, SToP mode is not  
available for a few seconds after  
coming out of reverse gear.  
Stop & Start does not affect the  
functionality of the vehicle, such as for  
example, braking, power steering...  
A slight delay between the vehicle  
stopping and the engine cutting out may  
be noticed.

The automatic reading of road signs is a  
driving assistance system and does not  
always display speed limits correctly.  
The speed limit signs present on the  
road always take priority over the  
display by the system.  
Speed limit recognition  
Principles  
Depending on equipment, the  
system takes account of speed limit  
information from the navigation system  
mapping.  
The system cannot in any  
circumstances replace the need for  
vigilance on the part of the driver.  
The driver must observe the driving  
regulations and must adapt the speed  
of the vehicle to suit the weather and  
traffic.  
It is possible for the system to not  
display the speed limit if it does not  
detect a speed limit sign within a preset  
period.  
This system allows the speed limit detected by  
the camera to be displayed in the instrument  
panel.  
Specific speed limits, such as those for heavy  
goods vehicles, are not displayed.  
The display of the speed limit in the instrument  
panel is updated as you pass a speed limit sign  
intended for cars (light vehicles).  
The system is designed to detect signs  
that conform to the Vienna Convention  
on road signs.  
6
Depending on equipment, using a camera at  
the top of the windscreen, this system detects  
and reads speed limit and end of speed limit  
signs.  
To maintain correct operation of the  
system: regularly clean the area in front  
of the camera.  
The units for the speed limits (mph or  
km/h) depend on the country you are  
driving in.  
It should be taken into account so that  
you observe the speed limit.  
For the system to operate correctly  
when you change country, the units for  
speed in the instrument panel must be  
those for the country you are driving in.  
For the speed limit information given  
by the navigation system to be correct,  
your mapping software must be  
regularly updated.  
Depending on equipment, the system takes  
account of the camera and information from the  
navigation system mapping.

"SPeeD ADJuSTeD"  
"SPeeD ADJuSTeD"  
"Cruise control paused"  
Detection of a vehicle that is too close or running at a speed lower than your vehicle's  
cruise speed setting.  
The system uses engine braking to slow your vehicle (within a limit of 20 mph (30 km/h))  
and then hold it at the speed of the vehicle in front so as to observe the programmed inter-  
vehicle time.  
When automatically slowing down behind a vehicle, your true speed may be higher than  
the "adjusted speed" displayed.  
When the adjusted speed reaches the limit of regulation (speed setting less than 20 mph  
(30 km/h)), the adjusted speed flashes together with the speed setting to signal that  
automatic deactivation of the system is imminent.  
If the system exceeds the limit of speed adjustment possible by the system and in the  
absence of any reaction by the driver (operation of the direction indicator, change of lane,  
reduction of the speed of the vehicle), the system is automatically paused.  
The display of the deactivation message is accompanied by an audible signal.

Driving  
Limits of operation  
When the dynamic cruise control is  
automatically paused, it can only be  
reactivated when safe conditions are  
restored. The message "Activation  
not possible, conditions unsuitable"  
is displayed while reactivation is not  
possible.  
The speed regulation range is limited to a  
maximum difference of 20 mph (30 km/h)  
between the speed setting and the speed of  
the vehicle in front.  
Above this, the system goes into pause if the  
safe distance becomes too small.  
-
vehicles not running in the middle of the  
lane,  
When the conditions allow, it is  
recommended that the function be  
reactivated by pressing button 2 (SeT+)  
or 3 (SeT-), which will make the current  
speed of your vehicle the new cruise  
speed setting, rather than by pressing  
button 4 (on/pause) which reactivates  
the cruise control using the old cruise  
speed setting, which may be very  
different from the current speed of your  
vehicle.  
The dynamic cruise control uses only engine  
braking to slow the vehicle. Consequently the  
vehicle loses speed slowly, as when releasing  
the accelerator pedal.  
The system is paused automatically:  
-
if the vehicle in front slows down too much  
or too suddenly, and the driver does not  
brake,  
-
-
if a vehicle comes between your vehicle  
and the vehicle in front,  
if the system does not slow the vehicle  
enough to continue to maintain a safe  
distance, for example when descending a  
steep hill.  
-
-
vehicles entering a corner,  
vehicles changing lane at the last moment.

The cruise control does not take  
account of:  
As the radar's field of detection is quite narrow,  
it is possible that the system may not detect:  
-
-
stationary vehicles,  
vehicles driving in the opposite  
direction.  
-
vehicles of reduced width, such as  
motorcycles, for example,  
237  
Driving  
Operating fault  
The dynamic cruise control operates  
by day and at night, in fog or moderate  
rainfall.  
When the cruise control is working, take  
care if making a maintained press on  
one of the cruise control programmed  
speed modification buttons: this can  
lead to a very quick change in the  
speed of your vehicle.  
In the event of a fault with the dynamic cruise  
control, you are alerted by an audible signal  
and display of the message message "Driving  
aid functions fault".  
Have the system checked by a PeugeoT  
dealer or a qualified workshop.  
Do not use the dynamic cruise control  
on slippery surfaces or in heavy traffic.  
The system does not act on the braking  
system, but works only with engine  
braking.  
The regulation range is limited: there  
will no longer be any adjustment of  
speed if the difference between the  
programmed speed setting and the  
speed of the vehicle in front becomes  
too high.  
When descending a steep hill, the  
cruise control may not be able to  
prevent the vehicle from exceeding the  
programmed speed.  
When ascending a steep hill or when  
towing, it might not be possible to  
achieve or maintain the programmed  
speed.  
The dynamic cruise control cannot  
in any circumstances replace the  
observation of speed limits, nor the  
need for the vigilance on the part of  
the driver.  
If the difference between the  
programmed speed setting and the  
speed of the vehicle in front is too  
great, the speed cannot be adjusted:  
the cruise control is automatically  
deactivated.  
The use of mats not approved by  
PeugeoT may interfere with the  
operation of the dynamic cruise control.  
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:  
-
ensure that mats are secured  
correctly,  
-
never fit one mat on top of another.  
It is recommended that you always keep  
your feet close to the pedals.

The system may suffer temporary  
interference in certain weather  
conditions (rain, hail...).  
or  
In particular, driving on a wet surface  
or moving from a dry area to a wet area  
can cause false alerts (for example, the  
presence of a fog of water droplets in  
the blind spot angle is interpreted as a  
vehicle).  
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that  
the sensors are not covered by mud,  
ice or snow.  
Take care not to cover the warning zone  
in the door mirrors or the detection  
zones on the front and rear bumpers  
with adhesive labels or other objects;  
they may hamper the correct operation  
of the system.

of reverse gear.  
Audible assistance  
This system indicates the proximity of an  
obstacle (examples: pedestrian, vehicle, tree,  
gate) which comes within the field of detection  
of sensors located in the bumper.  
Certain types of obstacle (examples: stake,  
roadworks cone) detected initially will no longer  
be detected at the end of the manoeuvre, if  
they are located in blind spots in the sensors'  
field of detection.  
This supplements the audible signal by  
displaying bars in the screen or the instrument  
panel which move progressively nearer to  
the vehicle. When the obstacle is near, the  
"Danger" symbol is displayed.  
The proximity information is given by an  
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of  
which increases as the vehicle approaches the  
obstacle.  
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or  
left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is  
located.  
This system cannot in any  
circumstances replace the need for  
vigilance on the part of the driver.  
When the distance between the vehicle and  
the obstacle becomes less than approximately  
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes  
continuous.

engaged, an audible signal (long beep)  
indicates that the sensors may be dirty.  
Certain sound sources (motorcycle,  
lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger  
the audible signals of the parking  
sensor system.  
As an addition to the rear parking sensors, the  
front parking sensors are triggered when an  
obstacle is detected in front and the speed of  
the vehicle is still below 6 mph (10 km/h).  
The front parking sensors are interrupted if  
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds  
in forward gear, if no further obstacles are  
detected or when the speed of the vehicle  
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).

Under-inflation detection  
System which automatically checks the pressures of the tyres while driving.  
The under-inflation detection system  
does not replace the need for vigilance  
on the part of the driver.  
The inflation pressures defined for  
your vehicle can be found on the tyre  
pressure label.  
For more information on the  
Identification markings, refer to the  
corresponding section.  
Tyre pressures should be checked  
when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle  
stopped for 1 hour or after a journey of  
less than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate  
speeds).  
The system monitors the pressures in the four  
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.  
It compares the information given by the four  
wheel speed sensors with reference values,  
which must be reinitialised every time the  
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel  
changed.  
The system triggers an alert as soon as it  
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one  
or more tyres.  
This system does not avoid the need to  
check the tyre pressures (including the  
spare wheel) every month as well as  
before a long journey.  
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs  
road holding, extends braking distances  
and causes premature tyre wear,  
particularly under arduous conditions  
(high loading, high speed, long journey).  
otherwise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to  
the pressures shown on the label.  
Driving with under-inflated tyres  
increases fuel consumption.  
Snow chains  
The system does not have to be  
reinitialised after fitting or removing  
snow chains.  
Spare wheel  
The steel spare wheel does not have an  
under-inflation detection sensor.

Before reinitialising the system, ensure  
that the pressures of the four tyres are  
correct for the use of the vehicle and in  
line with the recommendations on the  
tyre pressure label.  
The under-inflation alert can only  
be relied on if the reinitialisation of  
the system has been done with the  
pressures in the four tyres correctly  
adjusted.  
or  
F
if it is not possible to make this check  
immediately, drive carefully at reduced  
speed.  
Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.  
The loss of pressure detected does not  
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.  
Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual  
check.  
The alert is maintained until the system  
is reinitialised.  
The under-inflation detection system  
does not give a warning if a pressure is  
incorrect at the time of reinitialisation.
