Folding the key
F A press switches on the vehicle's lighting and flashes the direction
indicators for a few seconds to
help you locate your vehicle in a
car park.
Locating your vehicle
If you do not press the button when
folding the key, there is a risk of
damage to the mechanism. The original key contains a coded electronic
chip. When the ignition is switched on, starting
is only possible if the code is detected and
recognised.
This protection against theft locks the engine
management system a few moments after the
ignition is switched off and prevents starting of
the engine following a break-in.
Guide-me-home

lighting
Make a long press on this button to
operate the guide-me-home lighting
(switching on the sidelamps, dipped
beams and number plate lamps).
A second press before the end of the timed
period cancels the guide-me-home lighting.
Electronic engine immobiliser
In the event of a fault, you are
informed by illumination of the
warning lamp, an audible signal and
the display of a message.
In this case, your vehicle will not start; contact
a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
Keep away from your vehicle, the
label attached to the keys given to you
on acquisition of the vehicle. It will
help in finding the original code for
replacement of the key.

As soon as the brightness returns to a sufficient
level or after the windscreen wipers are switched
off, the lamps are switched off automatically.

Changing a bulb
Front lamps
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal sur face of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps
is normal; it disappears after the lamps
have been on for a few minutes.
The headlamps have polycarbonate
lenses with a protective coating:
F

d

o not clean them using a dr y
or abrasive cloth, nor with a
detergent or solvent product,
F

u

se a sponge and soapy water or a
pH neutral product,
F

w

hen using a high pressure washer
on persistent marks, do not keep
the lance directed towards the
lamps or their edges for too long,
so as not to damage their protective
coating and seals.

When towing
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.For more information on weights (and
the towed loads which apply to your
vehicle) refer to the corresponding
section.
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, 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 and the headlamp beam
height of your vehicle.
For more information on adjusting the
headlamp beam height, refer to the
corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a genuine
PEUGEOT towbar is used.

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.
