Good practice
children at the front
t
he legislation on carrying a child on the
front passenger seat is specific to each
country. Refer to the legislation in force in
your country.
Deactivate the passenger's airbag when a
rearward facing child seat is installed on the
front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag were
deployed. As a safety precaution, never leave:
-

one or more children alone and

unsupervised in a vehicle,
- a child or an animal in a vehicle which
is exposed to the sun, with the windows
closed,
-

the keys within reach of children inside

the vehicle.
to prevent accidental opening of the doors,


use the "Child Lock".
take care not to open the rear windows by


more than one third.
to protect young children from the rays of


the sun, fit side blinds to the rear windows. Installing a booster seat
t
he chest part of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder without
touching the neck.
e
nsure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
P euge O t
recommends the use of a

booster seat which has a back, fitted with a
seat belt guide at shoulder level.
For the optimum installation of a forward
facing child seat, ensure that the back of
the child seat is as close as possible to the
backrest of the vehicle's seat, or in contact
if possible.
t
he head restraint must be removed before
installing a child seat with a backrest on the
passenger seat.
e
nsure that the head restraint is stowed or
attached securely so that it is not thrown
around the vehicle in the event of sharp
braking.
Refit the head restraint as soon as the child
seat is removed.
At the rear, always leave sufficient space
between the front seat and:
-

a rearward facing child seat,
-


the feet of a child seated in a forward


facing child seat.
For this, move the front seat forward and, if
necessary, straighten its backrest as well.
t

he incorrect installation of a child seat in a
vehicle compromises the child's protection in
the event of an accident.
Check that there is no seat belt or seat belt
buckle under the child seat, as this could
destabilise the seat.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or the
child seat harnesses keeping the slack
relative to the child's body to a minimum,
even for short journeys.
For the installation of a child seat using
the seat belt, ensure that the seat belt is
well tensioned on the child seat and that
it is holding the child seat firmly against
the vehicle's seat. If the passenger seat is
adjustable, move it forward if necessary.

driving advice
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.
c

ooling: 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 and of the trailer, observing
the recommended pressures.
Fitting a towbar
We recommend the use of genuine
P euge O t
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
P
euge O t
dealer
.
t

hese genuine towbars are compatible with
the operation of the rear parking sensors
and the reversing camera, if fitted to your
vehicle.
If this equipment is not fitted by a P
euge O t

dealer

, it must be fitted in line with the
manufacturer's instructions.
Good practice
If the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
Refer to the "Checks - Levels and
checks" section.
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.
r

ear parking sensors: the system is
deactivated while the vehicle is towing with a
genuine P
euge O t
towbar fitted.
Refer to the "

t
echnical data -

Identification markings" section.

Refer to the "technical data -
Dimensions" section for more
information on the length (L1 to L4) and the
height (H1 to H3) of the vehicle. Maximum load on the roof, evenly
distributed: 150 kg, for all versions,
within the vehicle's weight limit ( g ross
Vehicle Weight).
For reasons of safety and to avoid damaging
the roof, it is essential to use a carrying
system (roof bars or roof rack) that is
approved for your vehicle.
Roof bars can only be fitted to an H1 or H2
height van, combi and minibus versions. On
a minibus, check for the presence of roof air
conditioning units.
t

he carrying system must always be
secured to the fitting points provided on the
vehicle's roof: 6, 8 or 10, depending on the
wheelbase of the vehicle.
Observe the instructions for fitting and use
provided with the carrying system.
On all H3 height versions, the roof
cannot be fitted with a carrying system.
Observe in full the legal requirements
related to carrying outsized loads.

caught under the pedals:
-
ensure that the mat and its fixings are

positioned correctly,
-

never fit one mat on top of another

SnoW cHAInS
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the
vehicle when braking.
t
he snow chains must be fitted only to
the driving wheels.
t

hey must never be
fitted to "space-saver" type spare wheels.
take account of the legislation in force


in your country on the use of snow
chains and the maximum running speed
authorised . Advice on installation
F
If you have to fit the chains during


a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat
surface on the side of the road.
F
Apply the parking brake and position any


wheel chocks to prevent movement of
your vehicle.
F
Fit the chains following the instructions


provided by the manufacturer.
F
Move of

f gently and drive for a few
moments, without exceeding 30 mph
(50
km/h).
F
Stop your vehicle and check that the


snow chains are correctly tightened.
It is recommended that before you
leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry surface. Avoid driving with chains on roads that
have been cleared of snow, to avoid
damaging your vehicle's tyres and the road
surface. If your vehicle is fitted with alloy
wheels, check that no part of the chain or its
fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.u se only the chains designed to be fitted to
the type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
