Metal suspension

This equipment adopts long movement
limiters which make it possible to guarantee
stable behaviour both when loaded and
when empty. No action on your part is
required except to ensure that maintenance
is carried out and that the authorised loads
are complied with. the limit of the authorised values. On board,
the increasing or lightening of the load on
the vehicle's platform is detected by two
height sensors. When all of the doors are
closed, the sensors trigger the automatic
height correction and determine the optimum
height of the sill for the vehicle's driving
conditions.
Deactivation of automatic height correction
The control which permits deactivation of
automatic regulation is located on the
right-hand side, at the rear of the vehicle.
REAR SUSPENSION

Two types of suspension are available. 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, ...



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
irrespective of the weight of the load, within
Two functions


1.
Automatic height
correction

2.
Manual height
correction


1 - Automatic correction of the
height of the rear sill
The pneumatic suspension automatically
regulates the variations in the height
of the rear platform of your vehicle.
The automatic height correction is
temporarily 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.

Return to automatic correction
With the vehicle stationary:


- press and hold,

- release the control.
According to the configurations, a beep may
be heard during these operations.
A red warning light on your
instrument panel fl ashes if the
height is not at its optimum level
and requires correction, drive slowly
until this warning lamp goes off. Return to automatic height correction is
confirmed by the LED which goes off. Deactivation is confirmed by the LED which
is on. It remains on for approximately
30 seconds.

Parking sensors
The audible and/or visual rear parking
sensor system consists of four proximity
sensors, installed in the rear bumper. The
sensors detect any obstacle which enters
the field: person, vehicle, tree, fence, behind
the vehicle during the manoeuvre.
Certain objects detected at the beginning of
the manoeuvre will no longer be detected
at the end of the manoeuvre due to the
blind spots between and below the sensors.
Examples: stake, roadworks cone or
pavement post.
Engage reverse gear
An audible signal confirms the activation of
the system by engaging reverse gear.
The proximity information is indicated by an
audible signal which becomes more rapid as
the vehicle approaches the obstacle. When
the distance between the rear of the vehicle
and the obstacle is less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal
becomes continuous.

Activation / Deactivation

REAR PARKING SENSORS


Display in the screen
You can activate or deactivate the
system by pressing this button.

The activation or deactivation of
the system is stored when the
vehicle stops.


Malfunction

In the event of a malfunction, when reverse
gear is engaged the LED in the button
comes on, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message in the screen. Contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.


Good practice

In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the
sensors are not covered with mud, ice or
snow.
The system will be deactivated automatically
if a trailer is being towed or if a bicycle
carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with a
towbar or bicycle carrier recommended by
PEUGEOT).
The parking assistance cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of the
vigilance and responsibility of the driver.
Stop the assistance

Change to neutral.

You should therefore use a high gear to
lower the engine speed and reduce your
speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
Ty r e s
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. If the coolant temperature warning
lamp comes on, stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine as soon
as possible.

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.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 6.
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.
