REAR PARKING SENSORS

The audible system consists of four
proximity sensors, fitted in the rear bumper.
It detects any obstacle which comes within
range: person, vehicle, tree, fence, behind
the vehicle during the manoeuvre.
However, it will not be able to detect
obstacles located immediately below the
bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a roadworks
cone or any other similar object may be
detected at the beginning of the manoeuvre
but may no longer be detected when the
vehicle moves close to it.
This system does not take the place of the
vigilance and responsibility of the driver.
Stop the assistance

Change to neutral.


Operating fault

If this warning lamp or the service
warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied by
a message in the screen, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.


Good practice

In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the
sensors are not covered with mud, ice or
snow.


Engage reverse gear

The proximity information is indicated by an
audible signal which becomes more frequent
as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
When the distance between the rear of
the vehicle and the obstacle is less than
approximately thirty centimetres, the audible
signal becomes continuous.
This function will be deactivated automatically
if a trailer is being towed. You are advised to
obtain a towbar recommended by PEUGEOT
and have it installed by a professional.
If anomalies are detected on engaging
reverse gear, the warning lamp comes on,
possibly accompanied by a message in the
screen.

Seats
SPLIT REAR BENCH SEAT
The left-hand side (2/3) or right-hand side
(1/3) of this bench seat can be folded to

Table position

Press the head restraint and its lug
simultaneously to place the head restraint in
the low position.
Unlock the seat back by pulling the
corresponding side control towards you.
The red indicator becomes visible.
Fold the corresponding seat back onto the
seat cushion.


Fully folded position

After placing the seat back in the table
position, pull the corresponding strap to
unlock the rear feet of the seat.
Lift the seat fully to secure it in the fully
folded position.

Removing the bench seat

After placing the bench seat in the fully
folded position, lower the corresponding
transverse bar to unlock the front feet of the
seat.

anchorages.
When driving, to secure the bench,
detach the red retaining strap, located
on the back of the bench seat cushion, and fi x
one end to a front head restraint spindle and
the other end to the side of the seat cushion.

Towing a trailer

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,
automatic cutting off of the air conditioning
allows the engine power to be saved.
If the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 7.

Tyres:
check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (see the "Identification
markings" section of chapter 7) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressures.

Brakes:
towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake gradually.
Side wind:
sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed.

ABS:
the system only controls the vehicle,
not the trailer.

Rear parking sensors:
the sensors
will be deactivated automatically when
an genuine PEUGEOT towbar is used
(see the "Rear parking sensors" section of
chapter 3).

Towbar

We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars and their harnesses,
which have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle, and that
the fitting of this equipment is entrusted to a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
If this equipment is not fitted by a PEUGEOT
dealer, it is essential that it is fitted using
the electrical pre-equipment located at
the rear of the vehicle and following the
manufacturer's instructions.
The operation of the rear parking sensors is
deactivated automatically when the trailer
cable connector is inserted in the towbar
socket.
When the trailer cable is removed, the rear
parking sensors are re-activated.
Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest objects are as close as possible
to the axle and the nose weight is close to
the maximum authorised without, however,
exceeding it. The air density decreases with
altitude, so reducing the performance of
the engine. The maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10 % for each 1 000 metres
of altitude. Refer to the "Technical data"
chapter for details of the weights and towed
loads applicable to your vehicle and also to
the administrative documents
(V5 registration document, ...).

OTHER ACCESSORIES

A wide range of accessories and original
parts is offered by the PEUGEOT network.
These accessories and parts have been
tested and approved both for reliability and
for safety.
They all benefit from PEUGEOT's
recommendation and warranty.
Never exceed the gross vehicle weight
(GVW).

Range of professional equipment

The replacement parts department publishes
an accessories catalogue offering various
equipment and fittings, such as:


- wooden protective floor, non-slip wooden
floors, wooden side protectors, glass
protection grilles,

- roof rack, set of transverse roof bars,
loading roller,

- towbars, towbar harnesses with 7/13
sockets, 7/7 sockets, 13 socket...
The fitting of electrical equipment or
accessories not listed by PEUGEOT
may result in the failure of your vehicle's
electronic system or high consumption.
Please note this specific warning. You
are advised to contact a representative
of PEUGEOT to be shown the range of
recommended equipment and accessories.
Depending on the country in which the
vehicle is sold or operated, it may be
compulsory to have a high visibility vest,
warning triangle, replacement bulbs and
fuses available in the vehicle.
Before installing accessory radio
communication transmitters with
external aerial on your vehicle, you can
contact a PEUGEOT dealer, who will provide
the specification (frequency band, maximum
output power, aerial position, specific
installation conditions) of the transmitters
which can be fitted, in accordance with the
Motor Vehicle Electromagnetic Compatibility
Directive (2004/104/EC). When fitting a towbar and harness
outside the PEUGEOT dealer
network, the installation must be done
using the electrical pre-equipment on the
vehicle and following the manufacture's
recommendations.

Having your vehicle towed


BEING TOWED


The removable towing eye is located in the
tool kit behind the driver's seat (Light van) or
behind the rear bench seat (Combi).


From the front

In the front bumper, unclip the cover on the
right using a flat tool.
Screw the removable towing eye in fully.
Then hook the towbar on the towing eye.
Unlock the steering by turning the the
ignition key one notch and release the
parking brake.
Switch on the hazard warning lamps on both
vehicles.
Move off gently and drive slowly, towing for
a short distance only.
On the towed vehicle, the gear
lever must be put in neutral; failure
to observe this special condition
may result in damage to certain braking
components (brakes, transmission...) and
the absence of braking assistance when the
engine is started.


From the rear

In the rear bumper, unclip the cover at the
bottom using a flat tool.
Screw the removable towing eye in fully.
Then hook the towbar on the towing eye.
Switch on the hazard warning lamps on both
vehicles.
Move off gently and drive slowly, towing for
a short distance only.


General recommendations

Observe the legislation in force in your
country.
Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle
is higher than that of the towed vehicle.
The driver must stay at the wheel of the
towed vehicle.
Driving on motorways and fast roads is
prohibited when towing.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground, always use an approved
towing bar; rope and straps are prohibited.
When towing a vehicle with the engine off,
there is no longer any power assistance for
braking or steering.
In the following cases, you must always call
on a professional recovery service:


- vehicle broken down on a motorway or
fast road,

- when it is not possible to put the gearbox
into neutral, unlock the steering,
or release the parking brake,

- towing with only two wheels on the
ground,

- where there is no approved towing bar
available...
