Alarm
(Depending on version) 
 
 
 
System which protects and provides a deterrent 
against theft and break-ins.
Exterior perimeter monitoring
The system checks for opening of the vehicle.
The alarm is triggered if anyone tries to open a 
door, the boot or the bonnet, for example.
Interior volumetric monitoring
The system checks for any variation in volume in 
the passenger compartment.
The alarm is triggered if anyone breaks a 
window, enters the passenger compartment or 
moves inside the vehicle.
Anti-tilt monitoring
The system checks for any change in the attitude 
of the vehicle.
The alarm goes off if the vehicle is lifted or 
moved.
When the vehicle is parked, the alarm 
will not be triggered if the vehicle is 
knocked.
Self-protection function
The system checks for the putting out of service 
of its components.
The alarm is triggered if the battery, the central 
control or the siren wiring is put out of service or 
damaged.
For all work on the alarm system, contact 
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified 
workshop.
Locking the vehicle with full 
alarm system
Activation
►  Switch off the ignition and exit the vehicle.
►  Lock or deadlock the vehicle using the 
remote control or with the “Keyless Entry and 
Starting” system.
When the monitoring system is active, the red 
indicator lamp in the button flashes once per 
second and the direction indicators come on for 
about 2 seconds.
The exterior perimeter monitoring is activated 
after 5 seconds and the interior volumetric and 
anti-tilt monitoring after 45 seconds.

about 2 seconds.
The exterior perimeter monitoring is activated 
after 5 seconds and the interior volumetric and 
anti-tilt monitoring after 45 seconds.
If an opening (door, boot or bonnet) is not

again (as happens if a door or the boot is 
not opened within 30 seconds of unlocking), 
the monitoring system is automatically 
reactivated.
Locking the vehicle 
with exterior perimeter 
monitoring only
Deactivate the interior volumetric and anti-tilt 
monitoring to avoid the unwanted triggering of 
the
  alarm,   in certain cases such as:
–
 
Slightly open window
 .
–
 
W
 ashing the vehicle.
–
 
Changing a wheel.
–
 
T
 owing the vehicle.
–
 
T
 ransport on a ship or ferry.
Deactivating the interior volumetric 
and anti-tilt monitoring
► Switch off the ignition and within 10 seconds 
press the alarm button until its red indicator lamp 
is on fixed.
►
 
Get out of the vehicle.
►
 
Lock the vehicle immediately using the 
remote control or with the “Keyless Entry and 
Starting” system.
Only the exterior perimeter monitoring is 
activated; the red indicator lamp in the button 
flashes every second.
To take effect, this deactivation must be  carried out after each time the ignition is 
switched off.

Practical information
7Before disconnecting the nozzle from the 
charging connector:
► 
If the vehicle is unlocked,  lock it and then 
unlock it .
►
 
If the vehicle is locked, unlock it.
The red indicator lamp in the flap goes out to 
confirm that the charging nozzle is unlocked.
►
 
Within 
 30 seconds, remove the charging 
nozzle.
Domestic charging (mode 2)
The end of charging is confirmed by the fixed 
lighting of the green  CHARGE   indicator lamp on 
the control unit and by the fixed lighting of the 
green light guides in the flap.
►
 
After disconnection, remove the protective 
cover from the nozzle and close the charging 
flap.
►
 
Disconnect the control unit's charging cable 
from the domestic socket.
Accelerated charging (mode 3)
The end of charging is confirmed by the 
accelerated charging unit (Wallbox) and by the 
fixed lighting of the green light guides in the flap.
►
 
After disconnection, replace the nozzle on the 
charging unit and close the charging flap.
Deferred charging
By default, charging begins when the nozzle 
is connected. Deferred charging can be 
programmed.
Settings
► In the  Hybrid touch screen menu, 
select the Charge tab.
►
 
Set the charging start time.
►
 
Press 
 OK.
The setting is saved in the system.
You can also programme the deferred  charging function using a smartphone, via 
the MyPeugeot
  application.
For more information on  Remotely operable 
features , refer to the corresponding section.
Activation
► Connect the vehicle to the desired charging 
equipment.
► Press this button in the flap within one 
minute to activate the system (confirmed 
by the light guides coming on in blue).
Towing device
Distribution of loads
►  Distribute the load in the trailer so that the 
heaviest items are as close as possible to the 
axle, and the nose weight approaches the 
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing 
engine performance. 
The maximum load which 
can be towed must be reduced by 10% per 
1,000
  metres of altitude.
Use towing devices and their genuine 
wiring harnesses approved by 
PEUGEOT. It is recommended that the 
installation be performed by a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
If not fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer, it must 
still be fitted in accordance with the vehicle 
manufacturer's instructions.
Important: with a motorised tailgate and its 
"Hands-Free Tailgate Access" function, if a 
towing device is fitted outside the PEUGEOT 
dealer network, it is essential to visit a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop 
to recalibrate the detection system - risk of 
"Hands-Free Tailgate Access" function failure.
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid functions 
are automatically deactivated if an approved 
towing system is used.
Observe the maximum authorised 
towable weight, indicated on the vehicle's 
registration certificate, the manufacturer's 
label as well as in the  Technical data section 
of this guide.
Complying with the maximum authorised 
nose weight (towball) also includes the 
use of accessories (bicycle carriers, tow 
boxes, etc.).
Observe the legislation in force in the 
country in which you are driving.

Practical information
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.
 
Vehicle equipped with motorised 
tailgate with "Hands-Free Tailgate 
Access" function
To avoid unwanted opening of the tailgate 
when using the towing device:
–
 
deactivate this function in advance in your 
vehicle's configuration menu,
–
 
or move the electronic key away from the 
recognition zone, with the tailgate closed.

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 in line 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.
