all children under the age of 12 or less
than one and a half metres tall must
travel in a
pproved child seats suited to
their weight , on seats fitted with a seat
belt or ISOFIX mountings * ,-statistically, the safest seats in your
vehicle for carrying children are the rear seats,- a child weighing less than 9 kg must
travel in the "rearwards-facing" position both in the front and in the rear.

Practical information







Towing a trailer


We recommend the use of genuine PEUGEOT towbars and their harnesses that have been tested and approvedfrom the design stage of your vehicle,and that the fitting of the towbar isentrusted to a PEUGEOT dealer or aqualified workshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by aPEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative that it is fitted in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's instructions. T
owbar suitable for the attachment of atrailer or installation of a bicycle carrier, with additional lighting and signalling.
Blanking cover

When towing, you must remove the blankingcover if your vehicle has one.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop for this.


Driving with a trailer places greater demands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take par ticular care.
Maximum trailer weight
You must not tow a trailer weighing more than 800 kg. Your vehicle is primaril
y designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it mayalso be used for towing a trailer.

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 by 10
% for every 1 000 metres of altitude.

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
tem
perature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
)If the warning lamp and the STOPwarning 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 long
mountain type of descent, the use of enginebraking 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 genuinePEUGEOT towbar is used.

R
efer to the "Technical Data" section for detailsof the weights and towed loads which apply to your vehicle.

kg
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt thespeed of the vehicle to the profile of theroad to avoid damaging the roof bars and the fixings on the roof.
Be sure to refer to national legislation in order to comply with the regulations for transporting objects which are longer than the vehicle.
When
fitting transverse roof bars, take care toalign them with the marks on the longitudinal bars.
