Fitting the towball
Remove the protective blanking plug from the
carrier and check the condition of the fixing
system. If necessary, clean the carrier with a
brush or clean cloth.
Take the towball from the storage bag.
Remove the protective cover from the ball.
Stow the plug and cover in the storage bag.
Check that the towball is unlocked (position B).
If not, insert the key in the lock and turn the
key clockwise to unlock the mechanism.
Then press the locking wheel and turn it fully
clockwise.
Before each use
Check that the towball is correctly fitted by
verifying the following points:
-

t
he towball is correctly locked in place
(position A ),
-

t
he security key lock is on and the key
removed; the locking wheel can no
longer be operated,
-

t
he towball must no longer move at all in
its carrier; try to shake it by hand.
During use
Never unlock the towball when a trailer or
load carrier is fitted.
Never exceed the maximum authorised
weight for the vehicle plus trailer (Gross
Train Weight - GTW).
Before driving, check the adjustment of the
headlamp beam height.
For more information on adjusting the
headlamps, refer to the corresponding
section.
After use
For journeys made without a trailer or load
carrier, the trailer harness socket must be
folded away, the towball removed and
the
protective blanking plug inserted in the
carrier. This measure applies particularly
if the towball could hinder visibility of the
number plate or lighting.

of the towball into the carrier, then, to ensure
that it has correctly locked in place, pull firmly

place (position A
).

As a safety measure and because it
requires sustained attention by the
driver, using a smartphone when
driving is prohibited.
All operations must be done with the
vehicle stationary.
The synchronisation of a
smartphone allows applications on a
smartphone that are adapted to the
MirrorLink
TM technology to be displayed
i
n the vehicle's screen.
The principles and standards
are constantly evolving. For the
communication process between the
smartphone and the system to work
correctly, the smartphone must be
unlocked; update the operating system
of your smartphone as well as the date
and time in the smartphone and the
system.
For the list of eligible smartphones,
connect to the brand's internet website
in your country. As a safety measure, applications
can only be viewed with the vehicle
stationary; display is interrupted once
the vehicle is moving.When connecting a smartphone to
the system, it is recommended that
Bluetooth
® be started on the smartphone.
Start the application on the
smartphone (optional, depending
on the smartphone and operating
syste m).
Access to the different audio sources remains
accessible in the margin of the MirrorLink
TM
display, using touch buttons in the upper bar.
Access to the menus for the system is possible
at any time using the dedicated buttons. During the procedure, several screen
pages relating to certain functions
are displayed.
Accept to start and end the
connection.
Connect a USB cable. The
smartphone charges when
connected by a USB cable. Press on " MirrorLink
TM" to
start the application in the
system. Once connection is established, an page
is displayed with the applications already
downloaded to your smartphone and adapted
to MirrorLink
TM technology.
If only one application has been downloaded to
the smartphone, it starts automatically.
MirrorLinkTM smartphone

Radio
QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
The quality of reception of
the radio station listened
to gradually deteriorates
or the stored stations do
not function (no sound,
87.5

Mhz is displayed...). The vehicle is too far from the transmitter used by the station
listened to or there is no transmitter in the geographical area
through which the vehicle is travelling.
Activate the "RDS" function by means of the
short-cut menu to enable the system to check
whether there is a more power ful transmitter in
the geographical area.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks...)
block reception, including in RDS mode. This phenomenon is normal and does not indicate
a fault with the audio system.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when going
through a car wash or into an underground car park). Have the aerial checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
I cannot find some radio
stations in the list of
stations received. The station is not received or its name has changed in the list. Press and hold the "List" button at the steering
mounted controls to update the list of stations
received or press on the system update function:
"Update list".
Some radio stations send other information in place of their name
(the title of the song for example).
The system interprets this information as the name of the station.
The name of the radio
station changes.

Sound cut-outs of 1 to
2

seconds in radio mode. During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS searches for any frequency
permitting better reception of the station. Deactivate the RDS function if the phenomenon
is too frequent and always on the same route.
Traffic announcement
TA is displayed. I do
not receive any traffic
information. The radio station does not broadcast traffic information.
Tune to a radio station which broadcasts traffic
information.
The stored stations are not
found (no sound,
87.5 MHz is displayed...). An incorrect waveband is selected.
Press the SRC/ TEL button to return to the
waveband (FM1 or FM2) on which the stations
are stored.

RDS
RDS, if displayed, enables you to continue
listening to the same station by automatic
retuning to alternative frequencies.
However, in certain conditions, coverage
by an RDS station may not be assured
throughout the country as radio stations
do not cover 100 % of the territory. This
explains the loss of reception of the
station during a journey.
The external environment (hills,
buildings, tunnels, basement car
parks) may block reception, including
in RDS mode. This is a normal effect
of the way in which radio waves are
transmitted and does not indicate any
failure of the audio equipment. Press MENU
