Limit the causes of excess
consumption

Spread loads throughout the vehicle;
place the heaviest items in the bottom
of the boot, as close as possible to the
rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle
and reduce wind resistance (roof bars,
roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use
a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after
use.

At the end of winter, remove snow
tyres and refi t your summer tyres.



Observe the recommendations
on maintenance

Check the tyre pressures regularly,
when cold, referring to the label in the
door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:


- before a long journey,

- at each change of season,

- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the
tyres on any trailer or caravan.

Have your vehicle serviced regularly
(engine oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...) and
observe the schedule of operations
recommended by the manufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after
the 3 rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid
any overfl ow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle,
it is only after the fi rst 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see
the fuel consumption settle down to a
consistent average.

DRIVING






Front parking sensors

In addition to the rear parking sensors, the
front parking sensors are triggered when
an obstacle is detected in front and the
speed of the vehicle is still below 6 mph
(10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted
if the vehicle stops for more than three
seconds in forward gear, if no further ob-
stacles are detected or when the speed of
the vehicle exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).

Deactivation / Activation of the front
and rear parking sensors

Deactivation / Activation of the rear
parking sensors


The function will be deactivated au-
tomatically if a trailer is being towed
or a bicycle carrier is fi tted (vehicle
fi tted with a towbar or bicycle car-
rier recommended by PEUGEOT).



Operating fault


In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered
with mud, ice or snow. When re-
verse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that
the sensors may be dirty.
When the vehicle is moving at a
speed below 6 mph (10 km/h), cer-
tain sound sources (motorcycle,
lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trig-
ger the audible signals of the parking
sensor system.

The function is deactivated by pressing
this button. The indicator lamp in the
button comes on.
Pressing this button again reactivates
the function. The indicator lamp in the
button goes off.
The function is deactivated
or activated via the vehicle
confi guration menu.
The status of the function
is stored when the ignition
is switched off.
For more information on ac-
cess to the parking sensors menu, refer
to the section covering the confi guration
of vehicle systems.
In the event of a malfunction of
the system, when reverse gear
is engaged this warning lamp
is displayed in the instrument
panel and/or a message appears in the
screen, accompanied by an audible sig-
nal (short beep).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.

The sound emitted by the speaker (front
or rear) indicates whether the obstacle
is in front or behind.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION


)
On the rear bumper, unclip the cover
by pressing it on the left.

)
Screw the towing eye in fully.

)
Install the towing bar.

)
Switch on the hazard warning lamps
on both vehicles.

)
Move off gently and drive slowly for
a short distance only.



Towing another vehicle 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


Side wind


)
Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind.


Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the temperature of the coolant.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a trailer
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.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for
details of the weights and towed loads
which apply to your vehicle. Driving with a trailer places greater de-
mands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.
We recommend the use of genuine
PEUGEOT towbars and their har-
nesses that have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
your vehicle, and that the fi tting of the
towbar is entrusted to a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

If the towbar is not fi tted by a PEUGEOT
dealer, it is imperative that it is fi tted in
accordance with the vehicle manufac-
turer's instructions.
If your vehicle is fi tted with the 1.6 litre
THP 200 hp engine, you cannot fi t a
towbar. The space occupied by the sport
exhaust system prevents this.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
VERY COLD CLIMATE SCREEN *

Removable protective screen which
prevents the accumulation of snow at
the radiator cooling fan.

Fitting



)
Offer up the very cold climate screen
to the front of the lower section of
the front bumper.

)
Press around its edge to engage its
fi xing clips one by one.

Do not forget to remove the very
cold climate screen:


- when the ambient temperature
exceeds 10 °C,

- when towing,

-
at speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h).



Removal



)
Use a screwdriver as a lever to
release each fi xing clip in turn. 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 in-
cline depends on the gradient and the
ambient temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the cool-
ant temperature.

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.

Tyres


)
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.
The rear parking sensors will be de-
activated automatically if a genuine
PEUGEOT towbar is used.



)
If the warning lamp and the
STOP
warning lamp come
on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as
soon as possible.

TECHNICAL DATA

*
The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit, if the GVW of the towing vehicle is reduced by an
equal amount; warning, towing using a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its road holding.
The GTW and towed load values indicated are valid up to a maximum altitude of 1000 metres; the towed load mentioned must
be reduced by 10 % for each additional 1000 metres of altitude.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the performance of the vehicle to protect the engine; if the ambient
temperature is above 37 °C, limit the towed load.
