Manual child lock
This system prevents opening of a rear door
using its interior handle.
The control, red in colour, is located on the edge
of each rear door (marked by a label).
Locking / Unlocking

► To lock, turn the red control as far as it will go
using the integral key:
•

T
o the right on the left-hand rear door.
•

T
o the left on the right-hand rear door.
►

T
o unlock, turn it in the opposite direction.


Do not confuse the child lock control,
which is red, with the back-up locking
control, which is black.
Electric child lock
This control prevents the opening of the rear
doors using their interior handles and the use of
the rear electric windows.

86
Driving
Towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
particular care must be taken.
Do not exceed the maximum towable
weights.
At altitude: reduce the maximum load by
10% per 1,000 metres of altitude; the lower
air density at high altitudes decreases engine
performance.
New vehicle: do not tow a trailer until the
vehicle has driven at least 620 miles
(1,000 kilometres).
If the outside temperature is high, let the
engine idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the
vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.
Before setting off
Nose weight
► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to the
axle and the nose weight (at the point where it
joins your vehicle) approaches the maximum
permitted without exceeding it.
Tyres
► Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer , observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
► Check the electrical signalling on the trailer
and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.
If a genuine PEUGEOT towing device is
used, the rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the audible
signal.
When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill causes the coolant
temperature to increase. The maximum towable
load depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature. The fan’s cooling capacity does not
increase with engine speed.
►

Reduce speed and lower the engine speed to
limit heating up.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
If this warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as
possible.
Brakes
Braking distances are increased when towing a
trailer. To avoid overheating the brakes, the use
of engine braking is recommended.
Side wind
Bear in mind that the vehicle will be more
susceptible to wind when towing.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The keys include an electronic engine
immobiliser system, with a code that must be
recognised in order for starting to be possible.
If the system malfunctions, indicated by the
display of a message, the engine will not start.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

Practical information
78.Label to note the key references

A. Locked position (the green marks are
opposite each other); the wheel is in contact
with the towball (no gap).
B. Unlocked position (red mark opposite the green mark); the wheel is no longer
in contact with the towball (gap of around
5
mm).
Trailers with LED lamps are not compatible with the wiring harness of this
device.
To ensure complete safety while driving with a Towing device , refer to the
corresponding section.
Before each use
Verify that the towball is correctly fitted,
checking the follow points:
– the green mark on the wheel is aligned with
the green mark on the towball,
–

the wheel is in contact with the towball
(position A

),
–

the security key lock is closed and the
key removed; the wheel can no longer be
operated,
–


the towball must not be able to move in its
carrier; test by attempting to shake it with your
hand.
If the towball is not locked, the trailer can
become detached - risk of an accident!
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.
Always comply with the maximum authorised
load on the towing device: if it is exceeded,
this device may become detached from the
vehicle - risk of an accident!
Before driving, check the headlamp height
adjustment and check that the lamps on the
trailer operate correctly.
For more information on Headlamp height
adjustment, refer to the corresponding
section.
After use
When travelling without a trailer or
load carrier, remove the towball and fit the
protective plug into the carrier, to provide
clear visibility of the number plate and/or its
lighting.
Fitting the towball

► Below the rear bumper , remove the protective
plug 2 from the carrier 1.
►

Insert the end of the towball
5 into the carrier
1 and push it upwards; it will lock into position
automatically.

151
Practical information
7

► Refit the protective plug 2 to the carrier 1.
► Stow the towball in its bag away from knocks
and dirt.
Maintenance
Correct operation is only possible if the towball
and its carrier are kept clean.
Before cleaning the vehicle with a high-pressure
jet wash, the towball must be removed and the
protective plug fitted to the carrier.
Affix the enclosed label in a clearly visible location, close to the carrier or in the
boot.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop for any work on the towball system.
Roof bars
As a safety measure and to avoid damaging the roof, it is essential to use
the transverse bars approved for the vehicle.
Observe the instructions on fitting and use
contained in the guide supplied with the roof
bars.
Maximum load distributed over the roof
bars, for a loading height not exceeding
40 cm: 70
kg.
As this value may change, please verify the
maximum load quoted in the guide supplied
with the roof bars.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the speed
of the vehicle to the profile of the road to
avoid damaging the roof bars and the fixings
on the vehicle.
Be sure to refer to national legislation in order
to comply with the regulations for transporting
objects that are longer than the vehicle.
Recommendations
Distribute the load uniformly, taking care
to avoid overloading one of the sides.
Arrange the heaviest part of the load as close
as possible to the roof.
Secure the load securely.
Drive gently: the vehicle will be more
susceptible to the effects of side winds and its
stability may be affected.
Regularly check the security and tight
fastening of the roof bars, at least before each
trip.
Remove the roof bars once they are no longer
needed.
Fitting directly to the roof

You must only attach the transverse bars to
the four fixing points located on the roof frame.
These points are concealed by the vehicle doors
when the doors are closed.
The roof bar fixings have a stud which must be
inserted into the opening of each fixing point.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the
vehicle when braking.
