- 5 people + load in the boot
2 Driver + load in the boot
Automatic adjustment of
the Full LED technology
headlamps
This system automatically adjusts the height of
the headlamp beams according to the load in the
vehicle.
In the event of a malfunction, this warning
lamp comes on on the instrument panel,
accompanied by the display of a message and
an audible signal.
The system then places the headlamp beams in
the lowest position.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Do not touch the "Full LED" technology
headlamps - risk of electrocution!

In wintry conditions, remove snow, ice or
frost present on the windscreen, around
the wiper arms and blades and the
windscreen seal, before operating the wipers.
Do not operate the wipers on a dry
windscreen. Under extremely hot or cold
conditions, ensure that the wiper blades are
not stuck to the windscreen before operating
the wipers.

Practical information
Towing device
Load distribution
► 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 towable load
must be reduced by 10% per 1,000
metres of
altitude.
Use genuine towing devices and their
wiring harnesses approved by
PEUGEOT. We recommend having them
fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If not fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer, they must
still be fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid functions
are automatically deactivated while an
approved towing system is in use.
Comply with the maximum authorised
towable weight, as indicated on your
vehicle's registration certificate, on the
manufacturer's label and in the Technical
data section of this guide.
Complying with the maximum authorised
nose weight (towball weight) also includes
the use of accessories (bicycle carriers,
tow boxes, etc.).
Observe the legislation in force in the
country where you are driving.
GTi towing
Your vehicle cannot be fitted with a
tow-bar.
Towing device with towball
Before each use
To ensure the towball is correctly fitted,
check the follow points:
Saloon:
–

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 safety lock is on 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 move it with
your hand.
SW :
–


The towball is correctly engaged (position
A

).
–

The safety lock is on and the key removed;
the trigger can no longer be operated.
–


The towball must not be able to move in
its carrier; test by attempting to move it with
your hand.
If the towball is not engaged, the trailer can
become detached -

Accident risk!
During use
Never release the locking system when
a trailer or load carrier is connected to the
towball.
Never exceed the maximum authorised
weight for the vehicle - 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!
Check that the trailer lamps work correctly.
Before setting off, check and/or adjust
headlamp beam height.
For more information on Headlamp height
adjustment, refer to the 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.
Blanking plug

In the event of recovery, it is essential to remove
the blanking plug if your vehicle has one.
To do this, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
