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.
Certain sound sources (motorcycle,
lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger
the audible signals of the parking
sensor system.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 signal (short beep).
Contact a P
e
uge
O
T dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Operating fault
The function will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed
or a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle
fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier
recommended by P
e

uge
O
T).
Deactivation / Activation of the
rear parking sensors
The function is deactivated by pressing this
switch. The indicator lamp in the switch
comes on.
Pressing this switch again reactivates the
function. The indicator lamp in the switch
goes off.

Take care, the sealant product
is harmful (e.g. ethylene-glycol,
colophony...) if swallowed and causes
irritation to the eyes.
Keep this product out of the reach of
children.
The use-by date is marked on the
cartridge.
After use, do not discard the
cartridge by the roadside, take it to a
P
e
uge
O
T dealer or an authorised
waste disposal site.
Don't forget to obtain a new sealant
cartridge, available from a P
e

uge
O
T
dealer or a qualified workshop. If after around 5 to 7 minutes the
pressure is not attained, this indicates
that the tyre is not repairable; contact
a P
e
uge

Towing a trailer
We recommend the use of genuine
PeugeO T 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 P
e

uge
O
T dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by a
P
e

uge
O
T dealer, it is imperative that it
is fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer or installation of a bicycle carrier, with
additional lighting and signalling.
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it may
also be used for towing a trailer.

Driving advice
Distribution of loads
F 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.
Side wind
F 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.
F

T
o 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.
F

I
f the warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
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
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a genuine
P
e

uge
O
T towbar is used.
Refer to the "Technical data" section for details
of the weights and towed loads which apply to
your vehicle.
