Driving
Do not park the vehicle or 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!
If the vehicle absolutely must drive through a
flooded section of road:
► Check that the depth of the water does not
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves that
might be generated by other users.
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.
► Deactivate the Stop & Start function.
► For rechargeable hybrid engines, place the
mode selector in 4WD position (depending on
version).
► 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 motor.
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.
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
into neutral or position N or P (depending on
the type of gearbox).
Important!
Never leave children inside the vehicle
unsupervised.
Never leave the engine running in a
closed space without sufficient
ventilation. Internal combustion engines emit
toxic exhaust gases such as carbon
On flooded roads
Towing
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage to
the internal combustion engine or electric motor,
the gearbox and the electrical systems of the
vehicle.
monoxide. Danger of poisoning and death!
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
particular care must be taken.
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).
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.
Never drive with the parking brake
applied. Risk of overheating and
damaging the braking system!
