In the
"OFF" position, the passenger
air bag will not be triggered in the event of an impact. As soon as you remove the rear-fac- ing child seat from the front passengerseat, turn the air bag switch to the"ON" position, to arm the air bag
again and thus ensure the safety ofyour passenger in an impact. Operating check This is provided by an indicator light, accompanied by an audible signal anda message on the multifunction dis-
play. When the ignition is on (2nd notch on the ignition key), switching on of thiswarning light, accompanied by anaudible signal and the message ''Pas-
senger air bag disarmed'' on the
multifunction screen, indicates that thepassenger air bag is disarmed ( ''OFF''
position on the control).SIDE AIRBAGS* These are incorporated into the frame of the front seat back, on the doorside. They are deployed independently of each other depending on which sidethe collision occurs, in collisions whichcould cause injury to the chest, theabdomen or the head. Operating check This is confirmed by an indica-
tor light on the instrument panel. It comes on for 6 seconds, each time the ignition is switched on. If the indicator light:
Ð does not light up when the ignition is switched on, or
Ð does not go out after 6 seconds or,
Ð flashes for 5 minutes then stays on,
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

PRACTICAL ASPECTS OF YOUR VEHICLE
110
Towing a trailer, caravan, boat etc.
Only use original PEUGEOT tow bars that have been tested and approvedfrom the design stage of your vehicle.The tow bar must be fitted by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Your vehicle is mainly designed for transporting people and luggage but it
may also be used for towing a trailer. Driving with a trailer subjects the tow- ing vehicle to more significant stressand its driver must be particularlycareful. Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine performance.The maximum towing load must bereduced by 10% for every1000 metres of altitude. Driving advice Distribution of loadsDistribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close aspossible to the axle and the noseweight approaches the maximum per-mitted without exceeding it. Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant. As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependent onthe engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the engine speed, and reduceyour speed. The maximum towing load on a long slope depends on the gradient and theoutside temperature. Always pay attention to the coolant temperature. If the warning light comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine assoon as possible.
Tyres Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing therecommended pressures.
Braking
Towing increases the braking dis- tance. Lights Adjust your headlamps so that they do not dazzle other road users.Check the electrical signalling on the
trailer. Side wind
Take into acount the increased sensi- tivity to side wind.
