the blind spot angle is interpreted as a
vehicle).

the sensors are not covered by mud,
ice or snow.ta ke care not to cover the warning zone

towing a trailer
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 P
e

ugeot dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by a
P
e

ugeot dealer, it must still be
fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it may
also be used for towing a trailer. Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.
