Deactivation/Activation of the rear
parking sensors Operating fault
In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered
with mud, ice or snow. When re-
verse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long bleep) indicates that
the sensors may be dirty.
When the vehicle is moving at a
speed below 6 mph (10 km/h), cer-
tain sound sources (motorcycle,
lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trig-
ger the audible signals of the parking
sensor system. If an operating fault occurs,
when reverse gear is engaged
this warning lamp is displayed
on the instrument panel and/or
a message appears on the screen, ac-
companied by an audible signal (short
bleep).
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.
The status of the function is stored
when the ignition is switched off.
For further details about the access
to the parking sensors menu, refer
to the vehicle confi guration section
corresponding to your multifunction
screen.
The function will be deactivated au-
tomatically if a trailer is being towed
or a bicycle carrier is fi tted (vehicle
fi tted with a towbar or bicycle car-
rier recommended by PEUGEOT. The function is deactivated
or activated via the multi-
function screen confi gura-
tion menu.

* The bicycle carrier cannot be attached to your vehicle's tailgate.
TOWBAR 207 99G
Towbar suitable only for the attachment
of a bicycle carrier * .
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.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional lighting
and signalling.
We recommend the use of genuine
PEUGEOT towbars and their har-
nesses that have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
your vehicle, and that the fi tting of the
towbar is entrusted to a PEUGEOT
dealer.
If the trailer is not fi tted by a PEUGEOT
dealer, it is imperative that it is fi tted
using the electrical pre-equipment
installed at the rear of the vehicle, in
accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a gen-
uine PEUGEOT towbar is used.
We recommend that you do not
drive up onto high kerbs (risk of
damaging your vehicle). Driving advice
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 towing load
must be reduced by 10 % and so on for
every 1 000 metres of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for
details of the weights and towing loads
which apply to your vehicle.
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.
Driving with a trailer subjects the towing
vehicle to more signifi cant stress and its
driver must be particularly careful.

i
156
The maximum towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and the
ambient temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
Tyres

 Check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pres-
sures.
Lighting

 Check the electrical lighting and
signalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a gen-
uine 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.

The GTW and towed load values indicated apply up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned must
be reduced by 10 % for each additional 1 000 metres of alti tude.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (100 k m/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the pe rformance of the vehicle in order to protect the engine; when
the ambient temperature is higher than 37 °C, limit the we ight towed.
