Peugeot Rifter 2020-2023 Owner's Manual Driving Noise (Electric)

118DrivingNoise (Electric)On the outsideDue to the vehicle’s quiet operation when driving, the driver must pay particular attention.When manoeuvring, the driver must always check the vehicle's immediate surroundings.At speeds of up to 19 mph (30 km/h), the pedestrian horn warns other road users of the vehicle’s presence.Cooling the traction batteryThe cooling fan comes on during charging to cool the on-board charger and the traction battery.On the insideDuring use, you may hear certain perfectly normal noises specific to electric vehicles, such as:–Traction battery relay when starting.–Vacuum pump when braking.–Vehicle tyres or aerodynamics when driving.–Jolting and knocking noise during hill starts.TowingDriving 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 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 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.
