The parking sensor system
cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need for vigilance
and responsibility on the part
of the driver.
The parking sensors are
switched off :
- when you exit reverse gear,
- when the speed is higher than 6 mph (10 km/h) in forward gear,
- when the vehicle has been station- ary for more than three seconds in
forward gear. Deactivation Operating fault
The system will be deacti-
vated automatically when a
trailer is being towed or when
a b i c y c l e c a r r i e r i s fi t t e d ( v e h i c l e fi t -
ted with a towbar or bicycle carrier
recommended by PEUGEOT).
Reactivation
Press button A again, the warning
lamp switches off, the system is re-
activated.
Press button A , the warning lamp
comes on, the system is fully deacti-
vated. In bad weather or in winter, en-
sure that the sensors are not
covered with mud, ice or snow.
When reverse gear is engaged, an
audible signal (long beep) indicates
that the sensors may be dirty.
When the vehicle is being driven at
a speed below approximately 6 mph
(10 km/h), certain sources of noise
(motorcycles, lorries, pneumatic
drills, ...) may trigger the parking sen-
sor audible signals. If an operating fault occurs,
this warning lamp is displayed
on the instrument panel and/
or a message appears on
the multifunction screen, ac-
companied by an audible signal (short
beep), when reverse gear is engaged.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.

TOWING THE VEHICLE
Procedure for having your vehicle towed
or for towing another vehicle using a re-
movable towing eye.
Access to the tools Towing your vehicle
On the front bumper, unclip the cover
by pressing at the bottom.
Screw the towing eye in fully.
Install the towing bar.
Switch on the hazard warning lamps
on the towed vehicle.
On the rear bumper, unclip the cover
by pressing at the bottom.
Screw the towing eye in fully.
Install the towing bar.
Switch on the hazard warning lamps
on the towed vehicle.
Towing another vehicle
The towing eye is installed under the
left-hand concertina board, in the boot
interior trim.
To gain access to it:
open the boot,
raise the concertina board,
remove the towing eye from the
holder. When towing with all four
wheels on the ground, always
use a towing bar.
When towing with only two wheels on
the ground, always use professional
lifting equipment.
When towing with the engine off,
there is no longer any braking or
steering assistance.
Place the gear lever in neu-
tral (position N on the elec-
tronic gear control gearbox
or automatic gearbox).
Failure to observe this special condi-
tion could result in damage to certain
braking components and the absence
of braking assistance the next time
the engine is started.

TOWING A TRAILER, A CARAVAN, ETC.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer. Driving advice
The maximum towed load on a long in-
cline depends on the gradient and the
ambient temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
Side wind
Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind.
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 on
the engine speed.
To lower the engine speed, reduce
your speed. Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
Tyres
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
Check the electrical lighting and sig-
nalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will
be deactivated automatically if
a genuine PEUGEOT towbar
is used.
If the warning lamp and
the STOP warning lamp
come on, stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional lighting
and signalling.
Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer so
that the heaviest items are as close
as possible to the axle and the nose
weight approaches the maximum
permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towed load
must be reduced by 10 % for every
1 000 metres of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for
details of the weights and towed loads
which apply to your vehicle.
Driving with a trailer subjects the towing
v e h i c l e t o m o r e s i g n i fi c a n t s t r e s s a n d
the driver must take particular care.
We recommend the use of
genuine PEUGEOT towbars
and their harnesses that have
been tested and approved from the
design stage of your vehicle, and that
t h e fi t t i n g o f t h e t o w b a r i s e n t r u s t e d
to a PEUGEOT dealer.
I f t h e t r a i l e r i s n o t fi t t e d b y a P E U G E O T
