Safety








Ty r e u n d e r - i nfl ation detection System which automatically checks the pressure of the tyres while driving.

Sensors fitted in each valve trigger a warning in
the event of malfunction (speed above 12 mph (20 km/h)).
The spare wheel is not fitted with a sensor.


All repairs and changing of tyres on awheel fitted with this system must becarried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
If, when changing a tyre, you install awheel which is not detected by your vehicle (example: fitting of snow tyres), you must have the system reinitialised
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifiedworkshop.
This message is also displayed whenone of the wheels is away from thevehicle (being repaired) or when one or more wheels without a sensor are fitted.


The tyre under-inflation detectionsystem is an aid to driving which doesnot replace the need for the driver to bevigilant or to drive responsibly.

This system does not avoid the need to have the tyre pressures checked regularly(refer to "Identification markings") to ensure that the optimum dynamicperformance of the vehicle is maintainedand prevent premature wear of the tyres,particularly in arduous driving conditions (heavy load, high speed).
The tyre pressures must be checked cold, at least once a month. Remember to check the pressure of the spare wheel.
The tyre under-inflation detection system may experience temporary inter ference due to electromagnetic signals on a frequency close to that used by the system.
A message appears in the instrument panelscreen, accompanied by an audible signal,
to identify the wheel concerned.

Under-infl ated tyre
This warning lamp and
the STOPwarning lamp come on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in theinstrument panel screen identifying the wheelconcerned. )Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden
movement of the steering wheel and the brakes.) Change the damaged wheel (punctured
or very deflated tyre), and have the tyre
pressure checked as soon as possible.

Puncture
A message appears in the instrument panel
screen, accompanied by an audible signal,
to identify the wheel or wheels which are not
detected or to indicate a fault in the system.Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifiedworkshop to replace the faulty sensor(s).
Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
)Check the tyre pressures as soon aspossible.
This check must be carried out when the tyres are cold.

Practical information
Driving advice
Distribution of loads
)Distribute the load in the trailer so that theheaviest 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 b
y 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.
Side wind
)Take into account the increased sensitivity
to side wind.

Cooling

To w i ng a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electricall
y controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
)
To lower the engine speed, reduce your speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the
gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
)If the warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.



Braking

To w i ng a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a longmountain type of descent, the use of engine braking is recommended.


Tyres
)Check the tyre pressures of the towingvehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the recommended pressures.



Lighting
)Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.

The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a genuine PEUGEOT towbar is used.
