Access
While the alarm is monitoring, any intrusion
triggers the siren for approximately
30 seconds, accompanied by lighting of the
direction indicators.
The alarm then returns to monitoring mode
but the triggering event is stored and is
indicated by rapid flashing of the LED, if the
alarm is deactivated.
The alarm is also triggered following an
electrical supply cut-off, when the supply is
restored.
Automatic activation

Depending on the country in which the
vehicle is sold: this function activates
monitoring automatically approximately
2 minutes after the last door is closed. To
avoid triggering the alarm when opening a
door, the unlocking button on the remote
control must be pressed again.
Deactivation using the key

Unlock the doors using the key and enter the
vehicle. Switch on the ignition, identification
of the key code will switch off the alarm.

Deactivation using the remote control

When this button is pressed,
the alarm is deactivated when
the vehicle is unlocked.


Deactivation of the anti-tilt protection *

Press this control to deactivate
the protection (when towing the
vehicle with the alarm on, for
example).
The protection remains active until the doors
are unlocked with the central locking.
ALARM

If your vehicle is fitted with an ANTI-THEFT
ALARM.
This provides:


- exterior perimeter protection by
detectors on the openings (doors,
bonnet) and on the electrical power
supply,

- anti-tilt protection.

The system also includes a siren and an
LED which can be seen from outside,
indicating the three possible states of the
alarm:


- alarm activated (monitoring), slow
flashing of the red LED,

- alarm not activated (not monitoring),
LED off,

- alarm triggered (intrusion signal), rapid
flashing of the red LED when the vehicle
is unlocked.


Activation of the alarm

First ensure that all of the doors are closed
correctly.
The alarm is activated by
pressing this padlock, the
protection is active after a few
seconds.

* Depending on engine.


Good practice


To deactivate the siren quickly following
unwanted triggering:


- switch on the ignition, identification of
the key code will switch off the alarm,

- press the unlocking button (cab and key)
on the remote control.
To avoid setting the alarm, when washing
the vehicle for example, lock the vehicle
using the key.
Unlocking the vehicle using the remote
control deactivates the siren automatically.

Seats
70

CREW CAB

Consisting of an ergonomic 4-seat bench
and a high-strength partition, it offers
comfort and safety.
Each seat of the bench is fitted with an
inertia reel seat belt.
Refer to section 5 to read the "Good
practice" recommendations.
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
them by means of straps using the stowing
rings on the floor.

Towing a trailer
ACCESSORIE
S
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


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.

Having your vehicle towed


BEING TOWED

Without liftin
g (four wheels on the ground)

You must always use a towing bar.
From the rear

Hook the bar onto the rigid eye located
under the bumper.


From the front

The removable towing eye is located in the
box under the front passenger seat.
Unclip the cover using a flat tool.
Screw the removable towing eye in fully.
Place the gear lever in neutral. Failure to
observe this special condition may result in
damage to certain braking components and
the absence of braking assistance when the
engine is re-started.
With lifting(2 wheels only on the ground)

It is preferable to lift the vehicle using
professional lifting equipment.
When being towed with the engine
off, there is no braking or steering
assistance.
