When towing
Distribution of loads
F 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.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.
For more information on Weights
, refer to the
corresponding section. F
I
f the warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
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 Adjusting the
headlamp beam height , 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.
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 towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.

heck that the parking brake is correctly
applied, particularly on sloping ground.
Never switch off the ignition before the
vehicle is at a complete stop. With the
engine off, the braking and steering
assistance systems are also cut off: risk
of loss of control of the vehicle. To facilitate unlocking of the steering
column, it is recommended that the
wheels be returned to the straight ahead
position before switching off the engine.
When you leave the vehicle, keep the
key with you and lock the vehicle. For more information on Energy

Deactivation / ActivationOperating fault
In the event of a fault, you are alerted
by the illumination of this warning
lamp, accompanied by the display of
a message and an audible signal.
Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the
camera.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on
the bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this
could mask the camera's view.
Clean the front bumper, removing mud,
snow, ...
If the front bumper is to be repainted,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop. Certain types of
paint could inter fere with the operation
of the radar.
Check that the sensors (camera and radar) are
not covered by dirt, mud, frost, snow...
If the problem persists, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked.
By default, the system is automatically
activated at every engine start.
The system can be deactivated or activated in
the vehicle settings menu in the screen.
Deactivation of the system is
signalled by the illumination of this
indicator lamp, accompanied by the
display of a message. There may be interference in the
operation of the camera or it may not
work at all in the following situations:
-
p
oor visibility (inadequate street
lighting, falling snow, heavy rain,
dense fog, ...),
-
d
azzle (headlamps of an
approaching vehicle on the other
side of the road, low sun, reflection
on a wet road, leaving a tunnel,
alternating between light and
shade, ...),
-
c
amera or radar masked (mud,
frost, snow, ...).
In these situations, detection
performance may be reduced.

After three first level alerts, the system triggers
a new alert with the message "Take a break!",
accompanied by a more pronounced audible
signal.
In certain driving conditions (poor road
sur face or strong winds), the system
may give alerts independent of the
driver's level of vigilance. The following situations may inter fere
with the operation of the system or
prevent it working:
-
p
oor visibility (inadequate lighting
of the roadway, falling snow, heavy
rain, dense fog, ...),
-
d
azzle (headlamps of an oncoming
vehicle, low sun, reflections on
a damp road, leaving a tunnel,
alternating shade and light, ...),
-
w
indscreen area located in front
of the camera: dirty, misted, frost-
covered, snow-covered, damaged
or covered by a sticker,
-
l
ane markings absent, worn,
masked (snow, mud) or multiple
(roadworks, ...),
-
c
lose to the vehicle ahead (lane
markings not detected),
- r oads that are narrow, winding, ...
Once the system considers that the behaviour
of the vehicle suggests a certain level of fatigue
or inattention by the driver, it triggers the first
level of alert.
The driver is then alerted by the message
"
Ta k e c a r e ! ", accompanied by an audible
signal.
Fatigue detection system
Depending on version, the "Driving time
warning" may be combined with the "Fatigue
detection system".
Using a camera placed at the top of the
windscreen, the system assesses the driver's
level of vigilance by identifying variations in
trajectory compared to the lane markings.
This system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed higher than 40 mph (65 km/h))

Before each use
Check that the towball is correctly fitted, verifying the follow points:
- t he towball is correctly engaged (position A ),
-
t
he safety lock is on and the key removed; the trigger can no longer be operated,
-
t
he towball must not be able to move in its carrier; test by shaking it with your hand.
If the towball is not locked, the trailer could separate - 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 plus trailer - the Gross Train
Weight or GTW.
You must not exceed the maximum nose weight on the towbar: if exceeded, this could result
in detachment from the vehicle - Risk of an accident!
Check that the trailer lighting and signalling work correctly.
Before setting off, check the adjustment of the headlamp beam height.
For more information on Adjusting the headlamp beam height , 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.
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.
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop for any work on the towbar system.
