High load retaining net *
To use it in row 1:  fold the rear seats,  open the covers of the upper fixings 1 ,  unroll the high load retaining net,  position one of the ends of the net's metal bar in the corresponding upper fixing 1 , then do the same with the other end,  slacken the straps fully,  fix the snap hook of each of the straps on the corresponding Top Tether ring 3(located on the back of the folded rear side seats),  tighten the straps,  check that the net is hooked and tightened
c o r r e c t l y.
To use it in row 2:  roll up or remove the load space screen,  open the covers of the upper fixings 2 ,  unroll the high load retaining net,  position one of the ends of the net's metal bar in the corresponding upper fixing 2 , then do the same with the other end,  fix the snap hook of each of the straps in the corresponding stowing ring 4 ,  tighten the straps,  check that the net is hooked and tightened c o r r e c t l y.
Hooked onto the special upper and lower fixings, this permits use of the entire loading volume up to the roof: - behind the front seats (row 1) when the rear seats are folded. - behind the rear seats (row 2).
* If your vehicle is equipped with this.
When positioning the net, check that the strap loops are visible from the boot; this will make slackening or tightening easier.

Driving199
The parking sensors are switched off : switched off : switched off - when you exit reverse gear, - when the speed is higher than 6 mph (10 km/h) in for ward gear, - when the vehicle has been stationary for more than three seconds in for ward gear.
Deactivation Operating fault
Reactivation
 Press button A , the warning lamp comes on, the system is fully deactivated.
If an operating fault occurs, this warning lamp is displayed in the instrument panel and/or a message appears in the multifunction screen, accompanied by an audible signal (short beep), when reverse gear is engaged. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the sensors are not covered with mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is engaged, an audible signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors may be dirty. When the vehicle is being driven at a speed below approximately 6 mph (10 km/h), certain sources of noise (motorcycles, lorries, pneumatic drills, ...) may trigger the parking sensor audible signals.
The parking sensor system cannot, in any circumstances, replace the need for vigilance and responsibility on the part of the driver.
The system will be deactivated automatically when a trailer is being towed or when a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier recommended by PEUGEOT).
 Press button A again, the warning lamp switches off, the system is reactivated.

Practical information249
Towing your vehicle
 On the front bumper, unclip the cover by pressing at the bottom.  Screw the towing eye in fully.  Install the towing bar.  Switch on the hazard warning lamps on the towed vehicle.
 On the rear bumper, unclip the cover by pressing at the bottom.  Screw the towing eye in fully.  Install the towing bar.  Switch on the hazard warning lamps on the towed vehicle.
Towing another vehicle
Put the gear lever into neutral (position N for an electronic or automatic gearbox). Failure to follow this instruction could lead to damage to certain components
(brakes, transmission, ...) and the absence of braking assistance on restarting the engine.
General
recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in your c o unt r y. Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle is higher than that of the towed vehicle. The driver must remain at the wheel of the towed vehicle and must have a valid driving licence. When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, always use an approved towing bar; rope and straps are prohibited. When towing a vehicle with the engine off, there is no longer any power assistance for braking or steering.
In the following cases, you must always call on a professional recovery service: - vehicle broken down on a motor way or fast road, - 4 wheel drive vehicle, - when it is not possible to put the gearbox into neutral, unlock the steering, or release the parking brake, - towing with only two wheels on the ground,
- where there is no approved towing bar available...

Towing a trailer
Your vehicle is primarily designed for transporting people and luggage, but it may also be used for towing a trailer.
Driving advice
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a trailer or installation of a bicycle carrier, with additional lighting and signalling.
Distribution of loads
 Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest 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.
We recommend the use of genuine PEUGEOT towbars and their harnesses that have been tested and approved from the design stage of your vehicle, and that the fitting of the towbar is
entrusted to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. If the towbar is not fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative that it is fitted in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's instructions.
Driving with a trailer places greater demands on the towing vehicle and the driver must take particular care.
Refer to the "Technical data" section for details of the weights and towed loads which apply to your vehicle.

Practical information251
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance. To avoid overheating of the brakes on a long mountain type of descent, the use of engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
 Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the recommended pressures.
Lighting
 Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.
 If the warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as possible.
Side wind
 Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant. As the fan is electrically 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.
The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a genuine PEUGEOT towbar is used.
