Automatic application,
engine off
With the vehicle stationary, the parking brake
is automatically applied when the engine is
switched off.
Maximum application is essential:
-

i

n the case of a vehicle towing a caravan
or a trailer, if the automatic functions are
activated but you are applying the parking
brake manually,
-

w

hen the gradient you are parked on is
variable in its effect (e.g. on a ferry, in a
lorry, during towing). -

i
llumination of the parking brake
applied indicator lamp,
-

d
isplay of the "Parking brake applied"
message.
The characteristic noise of operation confirms
the application of the electric parking brake. The application of the parking brake is
confirmed by:
-

i
llumination of the P indicator
lamp in the control lever A ,
Before leaving the vehicle, check that
parking brake indicator lamp is on in the
instrument panel.
Never leave a child alone inside the
vehicle with the ignition on, as they
could release the parking brake.
In the case of towing, a loaded vehicle
or parking on a gradient, turn the front
wheels towards the pavement and
engage a gear when you park.
When stationary, with the engine running, do
not press the accelerator pedal unnecessarily,
as you may release the parking brake.
In the case of towing, a loaded vehicle
or parking on a gradient, make a
maximum application of the parking
brake then turn the front wheels
towards the pavement and engage a
gear when you park.
After a maximum application, the
release time will be longer.
Maximum application
If necessary, you can make a maximum
application of the parking brake. It is obtained
by means of a long pull on the control lever
A,
until you see the message "Parking brake
applied" and a beep is heard.
Full release of the parking brake is
confirmed

Towing another vehicle
Put the gear lever into neutral
(position N for an electronic or
automatic gearbox).
Failure to follow this instruction could
lead to damage to certain components
(brakes, transmission, ...) and the
absence of braking assistance on
restarting the engine.
General
recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in your
c o unt r y.
Ensure that the weight of the towing
vehicle is higher than that of the towed
vehicle.
The driver must remain at the wheel of
the towed vehicle and must have a valid
driving licence.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground, always use an approved
towing arm; rope and straps are prohibited.
The towing vehicle must move off gently.
When towing a vehicle with the engine off,
there is no longer any power assistance
for braking or steering.
In the following cases, you must always
call on a professional recovery service:
-

v
ehicle broken down on a motor way
or fast road,
-
f

our-wheel drive vehicle,
-

w
hen it is not possible to put the
gearbox into neutral, unlock the
steering, or release the parking
brake,
-

t
owing with only two wheels on the
ground,
-

w

Towing a trailer
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it may
also be used for towing a trailer.Refer to the "Technical data" section for
details of the weights and towed loads
which apply to your vehicle.
We recommend the use of genuine
PEUGEOT 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 PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it must still be
fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.
If the trailer starts to sway, you risk
losing control. The trailer could
overturn. There is a risk of an accident.
Do not try to correct the trailer's
movement by accelerating. Reduce
your speed and do not counter-steer.
Brake if necessary.
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.
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
PEUGEOT towbar is used.
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.

Removal
Removable protective screen which prevents the accumulation of snow at the radiator cooling fan.
Before fitting or removing the screen, ensure that the engine is off and the cooling fan has stopped. It is recommended that the screen be fitted and
removed by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

* The kerb weight is equal to the unladen weight + driver (75 kg).
** T he weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit, if the GV W 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.
Never exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) when towing (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the per formance of the vehicle to protect the engine; if the ambient temperature is above 37 °C,
limit the towed load. Engine
