Practical information
CREW CAB

Bench seat

The crew cab consists of a 3-seat bench,
located in row 2, the one-piece back of
which is fixed to the "load retainer"
grille.

Access to the rear seats is via the sliding
side door.
Head rests and seat belts
Each seat has a head rest adjustable for
height and angle.
The three seats are equipped with inertia
reel seat belts. The seat belts are inte
gral
with th
e backrest of the bench seat.
En
sure that the seat belt is attached to the
correct buckle.
F
or more information on the use of this
equipment, refer to "Seat belts" in section 4.

Good practice

The rear seat belt stalks are not designed for securing the load transported. Use the stowing rings on the floor only.
Th
e bench seat of the crew cab is not suitable for the installation of a child seat.


Rear side glasses

If fitted to your vehicle, the side glasses can
be opened.

Squeeze the two controls together then slide
the window. There are 4 position notches.
When driving, the glass should be closed or
secured at one of the 4 notches.

LOAD SPACE FITTINGS

Depending on the vehicle's equipment, the
various fittin
gs below enhance your load
space.

Locations for stowing rail

Locations for securing a stowing rail are
available on each side of the vehicle.
Stowing rings
Use the stowing rings on the rear floor to
secure your loads.
As a sa
fety precaution in case of sharp
brakin
g, you are advised to place heavy
ob
jects as far forwards towards the cab as
poss
ible.
You are advised to immobilise the load by
securing it firmly using the stowing rings on
th
e floor.

Trims

The lower parts of the sides are fitted with
load protection trims.


Roof box on raised version

This is a storage compartment located in the
load space, above the cab roof.

Towing a trailer
For more information about weights,
refer to the administrative documents
(V5 registration document, ...) or to the
"Weights" section of chapter 8.
TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...


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.
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.

Driving advice

A towed vehicle must free wheel: gearbox in
neutral.

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.
