COMFORT
Folding the seat backrest
)
Check that no object, either on or
underneath the seat, could hinder
its movement.
)
To make the operation easier, place
the head restraint in the low position
(if the seat is in the fully forward po-
sition).
)
If your vehicle is fi tted with the video
pack, place the protective cover on
the head restraint.
)
Lift the control, located behind the
seat, then guide the seat backrest
forwards. When the seat backrest is in this posi-
tion, the seat behind it and the centre
rear seat must not be occupied.
This position, associated with that of the
rear seats, allows you to transport long
objects inside the vehicle.
The maximum weight on the seat is 30 kg.

CHILD SAFETY
PEUGEOT recommends
that
children should travel in the
outer
rear seats
of your ve-
hicle:
-
"rearwards-facing"
up to the age of 2,
- "forwards-facing"
over the age of 2.
GENERAL POINTS RELATING
TO CHILD SEATS
*
The rules for carrying children are
specifi c to each country. Refer to the
legislation in force in your country. Although one of PEUGEOT's main
criteria when designing your vehicle,
the safety of your children also depends
on you.
For maximum safety, please observe
the following recommendations:
- in accordance with European reg-
ulations, all children under the
age of 12 or less than one and
a half metres tall must travel in
approved child seats suited to
their weight
, on seats fi tted with a
seat belt or ISOFIX mountings * ,
- statistically, the safest seats in
your vehicle for carrying children
are the rear seats,
- a child weighing less than 9 kg
must travel in the "rearwards-
facing" position both in the front
and in the rear.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
)

)
Screw the towing eye in fully.
)
Install the towing bar.
)
Switch on the hazard warning lamps
on the towed vehicle.
Towing another vehicle
General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in your
country.
Ensure that the weight of the towing
vehicle is higher than that of the towed
vehicle.
The driver must stay at the wheel of the
towed vehicle.
Driving on motorways and fast roads is
prohibited when towing.
When towing a vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground, always use an
approved towing bar; rope and straps
are prohibited.
When towing a vehicle with the engine
off, there is no longer any power assis-
tance for braking or steering. In the following cases, you must always
call on a professional recovery service:
- vehicle broken down on a motorway
or fast road,
- when it is not possible to put the
gearbox into neutral, unlock the
steering, or release the parking
brake,
- towing with only two wheels on the
ground,
- where there is no approved towing
bar available...

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
TOWING A TRAILER,
A CARAVAN, ETC.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer.
Driving advice
The maximum towed load on a long in-
cline depends on the gradient and the
ambient temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
Side wind
)
Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind.
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.
)
To lower the engine speed, reduce
your speed.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a
long mountain type of descent, the use
of engine braking is recommended.
Tyres
)
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
)
Check the electrical lighting and sig-
nalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will
be deactivated automatically if
a genuine PEUGEOT towbar
is used.
)
If the warning lamp and the
STOP
warning lamp come
on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as
soon as possible.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional lighting
and signalling.
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. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towed load
must be reduced by 10 % for every
1 000 metres of altitude. Driving with a trailer places greater de-
mands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.
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 fi tting of the towbar is entrusted
to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
If the towbar is not fi tted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative
that it is fi tted in accordance with the
vehicle manufacturer's instructions. Refer to the "Technical Data"
section for details of the weights
and towed loads which apply to
your vehicle.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
FITTING ROOF BARS
Maximum authorised weight
on the roof rack, for a loading
height not exceeding 40 cm
(with the exception of bicycle
carriers): 65
kg.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt
the speed of the vehicle to the pro-
fi le of the road to avoid damaging the
roof bars and the fi xings on the roof.
Be sure to refer to national legislation
in order to comply with the regula-
tions for transporting objects that are
longer than the vehicle.
When fi tting transverse roof bars, use
the four quick-fi t fi xings provided for this
purpose:
)
lift the concealing fl aps,
)
open the fi xing covers on each bar
using the key,
)
put each fi xing in place and lock
them on the roof one by one,
)
ensure that roof bars are correctly
fi tted (by shaking them),
)
close the fi xing covers on each bar
using the key.
VERY COLD CLIMATE SCREEN
Removable protective screen which
prevents the accumulation of snow at
the radiator cooling fan.
Before fi tting or removing the screen,
ensure that the engine is off and the
cooling fan has stopped. It is recom-
mended that the screen be fi tted and
removed by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
)
Offer up the screen to the front of
the lower section of the front bum-
per (do not use the upper ventilation
grille position).
)
Press on the edges A
to engage its
fi xing clips.
)
Press on the middle at B
to complete
the engagement of the fi xing clips.
Fitting
)
Pull on the very cold climate screen
using the cut-outs 1
then 2
at the
edges of the screen.
Do not forget to remove the very cold
climate screen:
- when the ambient temperature ex-
ceeds 10 °C,
- when towing,
- at speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h).
