Operating faultActive Blind Spot
Monitoring System
In addition to the fixed warning lamp in the door
mirror on the side in question, a correction of
trajectory will be felt if you cross a lane marking
with the direction indicators on, to help you
avoid a collision.
Conditions for operation
The following systems must be activated:
In the event of a fault with the system, this
warning lamp flashes for a few moments in the
instrument panel, accompanied by the Ser vice
warning lamp coming on and the display of a
message.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked. The system may suffer temporary
interference in certain weather conditions
(rain, hail, etc.).
In particular, driving on a wet sur face
or moving from a dry area to a wet area
can cause false alerts (for example, the
presence of a fog of water droplets in
the blind spot angle is interpreted as a
vehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are not covered by mud, ice or
snow.
Take care not to cover the warning zone in
the door mirrors or the detection zones on
the front and rear bumpers with adhesive
labels or other objects; they may hamper
the correct operation of the system.
The system is automatically deactivated
when towing with a towbar approved by
P E U G E O T.

Towing a trailer
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it may
also be used for 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
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. Please respect the maximum authorised
towable weights, indicated on the
registration certificate or in your vehicle’s
technical data.
For more information on Weights
(and the
towed loads which apply to your vehicle)
refer to the corresponding section.

section.
A.
Locked position; the locking wheel is in
contact with the towball (no gap).
B. Unlocked position; the locking wheel is
no longer in contact with the towball (gap
of around 5 mm). Before each use
Check that the towball is correctly fitted,
verifying the follow points:
-
t
he green mark on the locking wheel
is in line with the green mark on the
towball,
-
t
he locking wheel is in contact with the
towball (position A ),
-
t
he security key lock is on and the key
removed; the locking wheel can no

If the towball is not locked, the trailer can
detach – accident risk! During use
Never release the locking system with a
trailer or load carrier on the towball.
Never exceed the maximum authorised
weight for the vehicle – the Gross Train
Weight or GTW.
It is essential that the maximum
authorised load be complied with on the
towing device: if it is exceeded, this device
may detach from the vehicle, which is a
serious accident risk.
Check that the trailer lamps work

corresponding section.
Following use
When travelling without a trailer or load
on a towbar-mounted carrier, the towball
must be removed and the protective plug
inserted in the carrier. This measure
applies particularly where the towball
might obscure visibility of the number
plate or its lighting.
