Seats
CREW CAB
Consisting of an ergonomic 4-seat bench

Access to the box under the bench seat


From the cab
Tilt the seat cushion forwards to gain access
to the large box.

From the load space
Raise the two flaps which make the full
length at the floor available. The flaps are
retained in the raised position by magnets
on the back of the partition.

Good pratice

Do not tilt the bench seat cushion during
transportation.
No not attach anything to the cab fixing
structure.
Do not exceed the number of passengers
indicated on the registration certificate.
Do not install child seats, booster cushions or
carrycots on the rear seats of the crew cab.
In the rear, the load space is intended for
the transportation of goods only.
You are advised to place the goods or heavy
objects as far forwards as possible in the
load space (towards the cab) and secure

Towing a trailer


TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...

For more information about weights,
refer to the administrative documents
(V5 registration document, ...)
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. Driving advice
A towed vehicle must free wheel: gearbox in
neutral.

Towing a trailer

ACCESSORIE
S


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.
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 9) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressures.
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.
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.
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 automatic cutting off of the air
conditioning allows the engine power to be
recovered.
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.
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 system does not
operate while the vehicle is towing.
