Child safety
ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the air bag
were to inlate.
The incorrect installation of a child seat
in a vehicle compromises the child’s
protection in the event of an accident.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or
the child seat harnesses
keeping the
slack in relation to the child’s body to
a minimum , even for short journeys.
To protect young children from the
rays of the sun, it side blinds on
the rear windows.
CHILD MONITORING MIRROR
This mirror enables the driver or front
passenger to observe all the rear
seats.
Fitted on its own ball joint and able to
retract into its housing in the roof, it
provides a panoramic view of the rear
interior of the vehicle.
For optimum installation of the "forward
facing" child seat, ensure that the back
of the child seat is in contact with the
back of the vehicle’s seat and that the
head restraint does not cause any
discomfort.
If the head restraint has to be removed,
ensure that it is stored or attached
securely to prevent it from being
thrown around the vehicle in the event
of sharp braking.
Children under the age of 10 must not
travel in the "forward facing" position
on the front passenger seat, unless
the rear seats are already occupied by
other children, cannot be used or are
absent.
Disarm the passenger air bag when a
"rear facing" child seat is installed on
the front seat. Installing a booster seat
The chest part of the seat belt must
be positioned on the child’s shoulder
without touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child’s thighs.
PEUGEOT recommends the use of a
booster seat which has a back, itted
with a seat belt guide at shoulder level.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:
- one or more children alone and
unsupervised in a vehicle,
- a child or an animal in a vehicle which is exposed to the sun, with
the windows closed,
- the keys within reach of children inside the vehicle.
To prevent accidental opening of the
doors, use the "Child lock".
Take care not to open the rear
windows by more than one third.

Towing a trailer
ACCESSORIES
6
TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...
Refer to the administrative
documents (V5, ...) or to the Petrol
or Diesel "Dimensions, weights
and towed loads" section of chapter 9. Distribution of loads:
distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heaviest
loads are as close as possible to the
axle and the nose weight is close
to the maximum authorised without,
however, exceeding it. Cooling:
towing a trailer on a slope
increases the coolant temperature.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.
Dimension A
= 0.96 m
Driving advice
A towed vehicle must free wheel:
gearbox in neutral.

154
Towing a trailer
On the contrary, use a high gear to
lower the engine speed and reduce
your speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant temperature. Brakes:
towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake
gradually. Please contact a PEUGEOT dealer
irst for further information.
Automatic adjustment
For vehicles with Xenon bulbs, this
system automatically corrects the
height of the beam, whatever the
load of the vehicle. The driver is then
assured of having optimum lighting and
not causing a nuisance to other road
users.
In certain cases of particularly
arduous use (towing the
maximum load up a steep slope
in high temperatures), the engine
automatically limits its power.
In this case, cutting off the air
conditioning allows the engine power
to be recovered, and therefore the
towing speed to be signiicantly
increased (approximately 12 mph
[20 km/h] more). Sequential control
of the gearbox may also become
unavailable. Lighting
Bicycle carrier If you it a bicycle carrier on
the tailgate, deactivate the
rear wiper from the display’s
coniguration menu.
Refer to the "Identiication
features" section of chapter 9. Refer to the "Steering wheel
controls" section of chapter 3.
When using a trailer connection,
you must add a fuse. Refer to
the "Changing a fuse" section of
chapter 8.
If the coolant temperature warning light
comes on, stop the vehicle and switch
off the engine as soon as possible.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures of
the towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pressure. Side wind:
sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed.
Towbar
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars, which have been
tested for endurance from the design
stage of your vehicle.
Towing equipment must be itted in
accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions, with particular attention to
the towing capacities of your vehicle,
the load towed, the nose weight and
the electrical connection. As this itting
should be carried out by a professional,
we recommend that you entrust the
itting of this equipment to a PEUGEOT
dealer.
In accordance with the general
instructions referred to above, we draw
your attention to the risk connected
with itting a towbar or other electrical
accessory which is not recommended
by the PEUGEOT network. Fitting such
equipment could result in a failure of
your vehicle’s electronic system. Manual adjustment
Adjust your headlamps so as not to
dazzle other road users. Check the
electrical signalling of the trailer.
