Peugeot 3008 2016-2023 Driving Starting/Switching off the engine

112DrivingTowingDriving 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.Before setting offNose weight►Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are located 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 activating the audible signal.When drivingCoolingTowing 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 STOPwarning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as possible.BrakesUsing the engine brake is recommended to limit the overheating of the brakes. Braking distances are increased when towing a trailer.Side windBear in mind that the vehicle will be more susceptible to wind when towing.Anti-theft protectionElectronic immobiliserThe 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 engineThe electronic key must be present in the passenger compartment.If the electronic key is not detected, a message is displayed.Move the electronic key so that the engine can be started or switched off.If there is still a problem, refer to the "Key not detected - Back-up starting or Back-up switch-off" section.
113Driving6Starting►With a manual gearbox, place the gear lever in neutral and fully depress the clutch pedal.►With an automatic gearbox, select modePorN and press the brake pedal.►Press the "START/STOP" button while maintaining pressure on the pedal until the engine starts.Diesel enginesIn negative temperatures and/or when the engine is cold, starting takes place only after the preheating warning lamp goes out.If this warning lamp comes on after pressing the "START/STOP" button:►Keep the pedal fully depressed and do not press the "START/STOP" button again until the engine is running.In all circumstances, if one of the starting conditions is not met, a message is displayed.In some circumstances, a message indicates that it is necessary to turn the steering wheel while pressing the "START/STOP" button to assist unlocking of the steering column.Petrol enginesWith 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).If the engine stalls, release the clutch pedal and fully depress it again, the engine will restart automatically.Starting rechargeable hybrid vehicles►Fully depress the brake pedal and press the START/STOP button for approximately 2 seconds.►Keep your foot on the pedal until this indicator lamp comes on, indicating the activation of the rechargeable hybrid system (confirmed by an audible signal).To exit Park mode, wait for the READY indicator lamp to come on.By default, the system starts in Electric mode.Depending on certain parameters (battery charge level or outside temperature), the system determines whether it is necessary to start the petrol engine.It is possible to change the driving mode at any time using the mode selector.When the vehicle starts in electric mode, it makes no noise. Pay particular attention to pedestrians and cyclists who may not hear the vehicle coming despite the pedestrian horn.Switching off►Immobilise the vehicle using the parking brake.►With a manual gearbox, ideally put the gear lever into neutral.►With an automatic gearbox, ideally select modeP orN.►Press the "START/STOP" button.►For rechargeable hybrid vehicles, before leaving the vehicle, check that the READYindicator lamp is switched off.In some circumstances, it is necessary to turn the steering wheel to lock the steering column.On certain versions with an automatic gearbox (EAT6/EAT8), the steering column does not lock, but the gearbox locks in mode P.If the vehicle is not immobilised, the engine will not stop.With the engine off, the braking and steering assistance systems are also cut off - risk of loss of control of the vehicle!Never leave your vehicle with the electronic key still inside.
