Advice
For the airbags to be fully effective, 
observe the safety recommendations 
below.
Adopt a normal and upright sitting position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the occupants 
and the airbags (a child, pet, object, etc.), 
nor fix or attach anything close or in the way 
of airbag trajectory; this could cause injuries 
during their deployment.
Never modify the original definition of your 
vehicle, particularly in the area directly 
around the airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been 
stolen, have the airbag systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must be carried 
out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Even when following all the precautions 
listed, a risk of injuries or slight burns to 
the head, the chest or the arms, when an 
airbag deploys cannot be excluded. The 
bag inflates almost instantly (within a few 
milliseconds) then deflates within the same 
time discharging the hot gas via openings 
provided for this purpose.Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its 
spokes or resting your hands on the centre 
part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the 
dashboard.
Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags 
can cause burns or the risk of injury from a 
cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or 
hit it violently.
Do not fit or attach anything to the steering 
wheel or dashboard, this could cause injuries 
in case of airbag deployment.
Curtain airbags
Do not attach anything or hang anything to the 
roof, as this could cause head injuries when the 
curtain airbag is deployed.
If fitted to your vehicle, do not remove the grab 
handles installed on the roof, they play a part in 
securing the curtain airbags. Side airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats, 
compatible with the deployment of the lateral 
airbags. For information on the range of seat 
covers suitable for your vehicle, you can 
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not attach or hang anything to the seat 
backrests (clothes, etc.) as this could cause 
injuries to the thorax or arm when the side 
airbag is deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any 
nearer to the door than necessary.
The vehicle's front door panels include side 
impact sensors.
A damaged door or any unauthorised or 
incorrectly executed work (modification or 
repair) on the front doors or their interior trim 
could compromise the operation of these 
sensors – Risk of malfunction of the lateral 
airbags!
Such work must only be done by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.

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 towable load on an incline 
depends on the gradient and the exterior 
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant 
temperature.
F
 
I
 f this warning lamp and the 
STOP warning lamp come on, 
stop the vehicle and switch off 
the engine as soon as possible.
New vehicle
Do not pull a trailer before having driven at 
least around 600
  miles (1,000   kilometres).
When the exterior temperature is high, 
leaving the engine running for 1
  to 
2
  minutes after stopping the vehicle to 
allow it to cool is recommended.
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 Headlamp 
beam height adjustment , refer to the 
corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be 
deactivated automatically to avoid the 
audible signal if a genuine PEUGEOT 
towbar is used.

Operation of the system may be felt by 
slight vibration in the brake pedal.
If the vehicle comes to a complete stop, 
the automatic braking is maintained for 
1  to 2   seconds.
With a manual gearbox, in the event of 
automatic emergency braking until the 
vehicle comes to a complete stop, the 
vehicle may stall.
With an automatic gearbox, in the event 
of automatic emergency braking until the 
vehicle comes to a complete stop, keep 
the brake pedal pressed down to prevent 
the vehicle from starting off again.
If automatic emergency braking is not 
activated, you are alerted by the fixed 
display of the warning lamp accompanied 
by a message.
Intelligent emergency braking 
assistance
If the driver does not brake sufficiently 
to avoid an accident, this system will 
complete the braking.
This emergency braking system will not 
act if you press the brake pedal.
Deactivation/Activation of the 
alert and the braking
By default, the function is automatically 
activated at every engine start.
The deactivation or activation of the function is 
done in the vehicle configuration menu.

Operating fault
In the event of a fault with the 
system, you are alerted by the 
illumination of this warning lamp, 
accompanied by the display of a 
message and an audible signal.
If the fault persists, contact a PEUGEOT dealer 
or a qualified workshop to have the system 
checked. If one of the two sensors (camera or radar) 
is masked or its visibility is reduced, while 
the other sensor is able to work normally, 
the system still operates, but at a lower 
level of per formance. No message or 
warning lamp indicates this.
To ensure correct operation of the radar, 
do not paint over the paintwork on the 
vehicle's bumper.
Poor weather conditions (very heavy 
rain, accumulation of snow in front of the 
radar and the camera) may hinder the 
operation of the system, with the display of 
an operating fault message. The function 
remains unavailable until the message 
disappears.
In the "
Personalisation-
configuration " menu, activate/
deactivate " Auto. emergency 
braking ".

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 with 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.
High pressure jet wash
When washing your vehicle, do not place 
the tip of the lance within 30  cm of the 
sensors as other wise there is a risk of 
damaging them.Parking sensors
This system cannot in any circumstances 
replace the need for vigilance on the part 
of the driver.
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse 
g e a r.
This is confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out 
of reverse gear.
Audible assistance
This system indicates the proximity of any 
obstacle (examples: pedestrian, vehicle, tree, 
gate) which comes within the field of detection 
of sensors located in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (examples: stake, 
roadworks cone) detected initially will no longer 
be detected at the end of the manoeuvre, if 
they are located in blind spots in the sensors' 
field of detection. The proximity information is given by an 
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of 
which increases as the vehicle approaches the 
obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or 
left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is 
located.
When the distance between the vehicle and 
the obstacle becomes less than approximately 
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes 
continuous.

front parking sensors are triggered when an 
obstacle is detected in front and the speed of 
the vehicle is still below 6  mph (10   km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if 
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds 
in for ward gear, if no further obstacles are 
detected or when the speed of the vehicle 
exceeds 6
  mph (10   km/h).
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or
