DRIVING
REAR PARKING SENSORS
System consisting of four proximity sen-
sors, located in the rear bumper.
This detects any obstacle (person, ve-
hicle, tree, gate, etc.) behind the vehicle,
except obstacles located just below the
bumper. An object, such as a stake, a road-
works cone or any other similar
object may be detected at the be-
ginning of the manoeuvre, but may
no longer be detected when the
vehicle comes close to it.
The parking sensor system can-
not, in any circumstances, take
the place of the vigilance and re-
sponsibility of the driver. Activation
The system is activated as soon as re-
verse gear is engaged, accompanied
by an audible signal. The proximity in-
formation is given by:
- an audible signal, which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
- a graphic on the multifunction screen, with blocks which become
increasingly closer to the vehicle. When the distance between the rear of
the vehicle and the obstacle is less than
thirty centimetres, the audible signal be-
comes continuous and the "Danger" sym-
bol appears on the multifunction screen.
On completion of the manoeuvre, when
you exit reverse gear, the system be-
comes inactive.
Programming
You can activate or deactivate the
system by means of the multifunction
screen confi guration menu. The system
state is memorised when switching off
the ignition.
For more information on access to the
parking assistance menu, refer to ve-
hicle confi guration in the "Multifunction
screens" section corresponding to your
screen.
The system will be deactivated auto-
matically when towing a trailer or when
a bicycle carrier is fi tted (vehicle fi tted
with a towbar or bicycle carrier recom-
mended by PEUGEOT).
Operating faults If there is an operating fault,
when reverse gear is engaged
this warning lamp comes on on
the instrument panel, accompa-
nied by an audible signal (short beep)
and a message on the multifunction
screen.
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are not covered with mud,
frost or snow.

DRIVING
AUDIBLE AND VISUAL FRONT AND REAR PARKING SENSORS
System consisting of four proximity
sensors, installed in the front and rear
bumpers.
It detects any obstacle (person, vehicle,
tree, barrier...) located in front of and
behind the vehicle, except for obstacles
located immediately below the bumper. The parking sensors are
switched on :
- by engaging reverse gear,
- at a speed below 6 mph (10 km/h) in forward gear.
This is accompanied by an audible signal
and/or displaying of the vehicle on the
multifunction screen.
An object, such as a stake, a road-
works cone or any other similar
object may be detected at the start
of the manoeuvre but may no lon-
ger be detected when the vehicle
moves nearer to it. The proximity information is indicated by:
- an audible signal which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle approach-
es the obstacle,
- a diagram on the multifunction screen, with blocks which move
closer to the vehicle.
The obstacle is located in relation to the
emission of the audible signal by the
speakers; front or rear and right or left.
When the distance between the vehicle
and the obstacle is less than approxi-
mately thirty centimetres, the audible
signal becomes continuous and/or the
"Danger" symbol appears, depending
on the multifunction screen version.
The parking sensor system cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the
need for vigilance and responsibility
on the part of the driver.
The parking sensors are
switched off :
- when you exit reverse gear,
- when the speed is higher than 6 mph (10 km/h) in forward gear,
- when the vehicle has been station- ary for more than three seconds in
forward gear.

DRIVING
Deactivation Operating fault
The system will be deactivated au-
tomatically when a trailer is being
towed or when a bicycle carrier is
fi tted (vehicle fi tted with a towbar
or bicycle carrier recommended by
PEUGEOT).
Reactivation

 Press button A , the warning lamp
comes on, the system is fully deacti-
vated. In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered
with mud, ice or snow. When re-
verse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that
the sensors may be dirty.
When the vehicle is being driven at
a speed below approximately 6 mph
(10 km/h), certain sources of noise
(motorcycles, lorries, pneumatic
drills...) may trigger the parking sen-
sor audible signals. If an operating fault occurs, this
warning lamp is displayed on
the instrument panel and/or a
message appears on the mul-
tifunction screen, accompanied by an
audible signal (short beep), when re-
verse gear is engaged.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer.

 Press button A again, the warning
lamp switches off, the system is re-
activated.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Fixing the steel spare wheel
If your vehicle is fi tted with alloy
wheels, it is normal to notice, when
tightening the bolts on fi tting, that
the washers do not come into con-
tact with the steel spare wheel. The
wheel is secured by the conical
contact of each bolt.
Access to the spare wheel
The spare wheel is installed in the boot
under the fl oor.
According to country, the spare wheel
may be steel or alloy.
To gain access to it, refer to the paragraph
"Access to the tools" on the previous
page.
Taking out the wheel

 Unscrew the yellow central bolt.

 Raise the spare wheel towards you
from the rear.

 Take the wheel out of the boot.
Putting the wheel back in place

 Put the wheel back in its housing.

 Unscrew the yellow central bolt by a
few turns then put it in place in the
centre of the wheel.

 Tighten fully until the central bolt
clicks to retain the wheel correctly.

 Put the box back in place in the
centre of the wheel and clip it.
Tyre under-infl ation detection
The spare wheel is not fi tted with
a sensor. The punctured wheel
must be repaired by a PEUGEOT
dealer.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Tyre under-infl ation detection
The spare wheel is not fi tted with
a sensor. The punctured wheel
must be repaired by a PEUGEOT
dealer. Putting the wheel back in place

 Store the corresponding tools in the
box and close the cover.

 Position the box on the ground and
centre the spare wheel on it.

 Position the black plastic centring
cone (on the steel or "space-saver"
type wheel only).

 Pass the hook into the box cover.

 Raise the wheel/box assembly
underneath the vehicle by tightening
the winch control nut using the
wheelbrace 1 .

 Tighten fully and check that the
wheel is horizontally fl ush against
the fl oor.

 Close the fl ap with the eye to lock
the winch.
If you purchase a wheel of standard
size to replace the "space-saver"
type spare wheel, the spacer, lo-
cated underneath the vehicle, must
be removed. Consult a PEUGEOT
dealer.

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 towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and the
ambient temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to 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.
Tyres

 Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting

 Check the electrical lighting and
signalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be de-
activated 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 towing load
must be reduced by 10 % and so on for
every 1 000 metres of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for
details of the weights and towing loads
which apply to your vehicle.
Driving with a trailer subjects the towing
vehicle to more signifi cant stress and its
driver must be particularly careful.
We recommend the use of genuine
PEUGEOT towbars and their har-
nesses that have been tested and
approved from the design stage
of your vehicle, and that the fi t-
ting of the towbar is entrusted to a
PEUGEOT dealer.
If the trailer is not fi tted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative
that it is fi tted using the electrical
pre-equipment installed at the rear
of the vehicle, in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.
