Rear suspension

Metal suspension
This equipment adopts long movement limiters
which make it possible to
guarantee stable
behaviour both when loaded and when empt
y.
No action on your part is required except to
ensure that maintenance is carried out and that
the authorised loads are com
plied with.irrespective o
f the weight of the load, within
the limit of the authorised values.
On board,
the increasin
g or lightening of the load on
the vehicle's plat
form is detected by two
hei
ght sensors. When all of the doors are
closed, the sensors trigger the automatic
hei
ght correction and determine the optimum
hei
ght of the sill for the vehicle's driving
conditions.

Deactivation of automatic height correction
The control which permits deactivation o
f
automatic re
gulation is located on the right-
hand side, at the rear of the vehicle.
REAR SUSPENSION
You must deactivate automatic height
correction manually in the following
situations:


- when working underneath the vehicle,

- when changing a wheel,

- when the vehicle is being transported by
lorry, train, ferry, boat, ...
Two t
ypes of suspension are available.

Rear suspension with pneumatic height correction

If fitted on your vehicle, this type of
suspension regulates the variations in the
height of the rear platform of your vehicle

Manual height
correction


1 - Automatic correction of the
height of the rear sill
The pneumatic suspension automatically
re
gulates the variations in the height of the
rear plat
form of your vehicle.
A red warning light on your
instrument panel
fl ashes if the
height is not at its optimum level
and requires correction, drive slowl
y
until this warning lamp goes off.
The automatic hei
ght correction is
temporar
ily inactive:


- if a door/the tailgate is open,

- when braking or when stopped at a red
traffic signal (brake pedal pressed).
With the vehicle stationary:


- press and hold,

- release the control.
Deactivation is confirmed b
y
th
e LED which is on. It remains on for
approximately
30 seconds.

Return to automatic correction

With the vehicle stationary:


- press and hold,

- release the control.
Return to automatic hei
ght correction
is confi rmed b
y the LED which goes off.

According to the configurations, a bleep may

Towing a trailer

ACCESSORIE
S
5

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.

Tyres:
check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle (see the "Identification markings"
section of chapter 8) and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pressures.
Towbar

We recommend the use of genuine
PEUGEOT towbars and their harnesses,
which have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle, and that
you entrust the fitting of this equipment to a
PEUGEOT dealer.
If this equipment is not fitted by a PEUGEOT
dealer, it is imperative that it is fitted using
the electrical pre-equipment installed at the
rear of the vehicle and in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.
In accordance with the general instructions
a reminder of which has been given above,
we draw your attention to the risk associated
with fitting a towbar or electrical accessory
not recommended by PEUGEOT. Fitting
such equipment could result in the failure
of your vehicle's electronic system. Please
obtain information from the Manufacturer
before fitting this type of equipment.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 6.

Good Practice

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, the air conditioning is automatically
cut off to save engine power.
If the coolant temperature warning
lamp comes on, stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine as soon
as possible.
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/ESP
The ABS or ESP systems only control the
vehicle, not the trailer or caravan.

Rear parking sensors
The parking sensors system does not
function while the vehicle is towing.
