Safety














Direction indicators
)Lower the lighting control stalk fully when moving to the left. )Raise the lighting control stalk fully when moving to the right.


"Motorway" function

Move the stalk briefly upwards or downwards,
without going beyond the point of resistance ;
the corresponding direction indicators will flash 3 times.
If you forget to cancel the direction indicators for more than twenty seconds, the volume of the audible signal will increase if the speed is above40 mph (60 km/h).




Hazard warning lamps
Press the button, the direction indicators flash.
They can operate with the ignition off.
Automatic operation of
hazard warnin
g lamps
When braking in an emergency, depending on
the rate of deceleration, as well as when the ABS regulation is invoked or in the event of animpact, the hazard warning lamps come on
automatically.
They switch off automatically the first time you accelerate.)
You can also switch them off by pressingthe button.

Safety
Snow driving assistance
(Intelligent Traction Control)
Your vehicle has a system to help driving on snow: Intelligent Traction Control. This automatic system continuously checks for situations of difficult surface adhesion thatcould make it difficult to move off or makeprogress on deep fresh snow or compacted snow.
In these situations, Intelligent Traction
Controllimits the amount of wheel slip to provide the best traction and trajectory control.
In extremely severe conditions (deep snow,mud…), it can be useful to temporarilydeactivate the dynamic stability control andwheel anti-slip
systems to allow a degree of
wheel spin and so recover grip.
It is recommended that the system be
reactivated as soon as possible.
Snow t
yres are strongly recommended on sur faces offering low levels of adhesion.
Operation
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
In emergency braking, press very firmly without releasing the pressure.

When changing wheels (tyres and rims),make sure that these are approved for your vehicle.
Normal operation of the ABS may makeitself felt by slight vibrations of the brake pedal. When this warnin
g lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal
and a message, it indicates that
there is a fault with the ABS, which could cause loss of control of the vehicle whenbraking.

When this warnin
g lamp comes on,coupled with the STOPwarning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signaland a message, it indicates that
there is a fault with the electronic brake forcedistribution (EBFD), which could cause loss of control of the vehicle when braking.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.In both cases, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Safety




The driver must ensure that passengers usethe seat belts correctly and that they are allrestrained securely before setting off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle, always fasten your seat belt, even for short journeys.
Do not interchange the seat belt buckles asthey will not fulfil their role fully.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel permitting automatic adjustment of the length of the strap to your size. The seat belt isstowed automatically when not in use.
Before and after use, ensure that the seatbelt is reeled in correctly.
The lower par t of the strap must bepositioned as low as possible on the pelvis.
The upper par t must be positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.
The inertia reels are fitted with an automatic locking device which comes into operation inthe event of a collision, emergency braking or if the vehicle rolls over. You can releasethe device by pulling firmly on the strap and releasing it so that it reels in slightly.
Recommendations for children
Use a suitable child seat if the passenger isless than 12 years old or shor ter than one
and a half metres. Never use the same seat belt to secure morethan one person. Never allow a child to travel on your lap.

In order to be effective, a seat belt must:


- be tightened as close to the body as possible,


- be pulled in front of you with a smooth movement, checking that it does nottwist,

- be used to restrain only one person,

- not bear any trace of cuts or fraying,

- not be converted or modified to avoid affecting its per formance.
In accordance with current safety regulations, for all repairs on your vehicle, go to a qualified workshop with the skills and equipment needed, which a PEUGEOT dealer is able to provide.
Have your seat belts checked regularly by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop, particularly if the straps show signs of damage.
Clean the seat belt straps with soapywater or a textile cleaning product, sold by PEUGEOT dealers.
After folding or moving a seat or rear bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is positioned and reeled in correctly.
In the event of an impact
Depending on the nature and seriousness of the impact
, thepretensioning device may be deployedbefore and independently of the airbags.Deployment of the pretensioners isaccompanied by a slight discharge of harmless smoke and a noise, due to theactivation of the pyrotechnic cartridgeincorporated in the system.In all cases, the airbag warning lamp comes on.Following an impact, have the seat belts system checked, and if necessary replaced,by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Practical information
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
excee
ding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducingengine 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
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
)If the warning lamp and the
STOP warning 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 longmountain type of descent, the use of engine braking 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 genuine PEUGEOT towbar is used.

Technical data
*
The kerb weight is equal to the unladen weight + driver (75 kg). **

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.

















Petrol weights and towed loads (in kg)
The GTW and towed load values indicated are valid up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned must be reduced by 10 % for each additional 1 000 metres of altitude.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (10 0 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.
