EnglishDriving -> Driving recommendations for your Peugeot 3008 2016-2023
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!

Driving
If the system malfunctions, indicated by the
display of a message, the engine will not start.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
New vehicle: do not tow a trailer until the
vehicle has driven at least 620 miles
(1,000 kilometres).
When driving
Cooling
6
Towing 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.
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.
Starting/Switching off the
engine
► 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.
The 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.
Before setting off
Nose 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.
Brakes
Tyres
Using the engine brake is recommended to limit
the overheating of the brakes. Braking distances
are increased when towing a trailer.
► Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Starting
Side wind
Lighting
Bear in mind that the vehicle will be more
susceptible to wind when towing.
► 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.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The keys contain a code, which must be
recognised by the vehicle before starting is
possible.
► With a manual gearbox, place the gear lever
in neutral and fully depress the clutch pedal.
