REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE This system consists of four proximi- ty sensors, located in the rear
bumper, and a special speaker. This detects any obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) behind thevehicle. Nevertheless, it cannotdetect obstacles located just below
the bumper. An object, such as a stake, a road- works cone or any other similarobject may be detected at the begin-ning of the manoeuvre, but may nolonger be detected when the vehiclecomes close to it. Note:
this function will be disarmed
automatically when the vehicle is towing a trailer or when a bicycle car-rier is fitted (vehicle fitted with towingattachment or bicycle carrier recom-mended by PEUGEOT).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the sensors are not covered with
mud, frost or snow. Activation The system is activated as soon as reverse gear is engaged; an audiblebleep shows that it is active. The proximity information is given by an audible signal, which becomesmore rapid as the vehicle approach-es the obstacle. When the distance between the rear of the vehicle and the obstacle isless than thirty centimetres, the audi-ble signal becomes continuous.Deactivation 
In neutral, the system is again inactive.
Detection zone
If there is an operating fault, the audible signalwill be a short bleep fol-lowed by a long bleepwhen changing to reverse
gear.

CHANGING A WHEEL Parking the vehicle 
As far possible, park the vehicle on level, stable and non-slipperyground.
 Apply the handbrake, switch offthe ignition and engage first orreverse gear (position Pfor the
automatic gearbox).
Access to the spare wheel and the jack in the boot  Place the vehicle in the coupŽ position.
 Detach the luggage retaining net.
 Lift the boot mat using the handleand attach the cords to the twohooks located under the bootseal. Tools The following tools are located in a holder in the centre of the sparewheel: 1 -
Wheelbrace.
2 - Centralising tool.
3 - Removable chock.
4 - Jack with handle.
5 - Removable towing eye.
6 - Alloy wheel bolt trim remover. Removing the wheel 
Place the holder and the chock 3
(or chock 3on its own if neces-
sary) under the wheel diagonally opposite to the one to bechanged.
 Remove the trim, using thewheelbrace 1, pulling at the valve
passage hole.

TOWING YOUR VEHICLE
Without lifting (4 wheels on the ground)
You must always use a tow bar. The removable towing eye is inside the spare wheel. From the front: 
Unclip the cover, by pressing the bottom part,
 Screw in the towing eye as far as it will go.
From the rear: Unclip the top of the cover using a coin,
 Screw in the towing eye as far as it will go.
Lifting (2 wheels only on the ground) It is preferable to raise the vehicle with a professional lifting device. Special features of the automatic gearbox When towing with four wheels on the ground, the following rules must beobeyed:
Ð lever in position
N,
Ð tow the vehicle at less than 30 mph (50 km/h) over a maximum dis- tance of 30 miles (50 km).
Ð do not add oil to the gearbox.
When towing with theengine switched off, thereis no braking or steeringassistance.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION145
TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT etc.
Only use original PEUGEOT tow bars that have been tested andapproved from the design stage ofyour vehicle. The tow bar must be fitted by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for transporting people and luggagebut it may also be used for towing a
trailer. Driving with a trailer subjects the towing vehicle to more significantstress and its driver must be particu-larly careful. Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine performance.Above 1 000 metres, the maximumtowing load must be reduced by
10 % and so on for every
1 000 metres of altitude. The rear parking assistance function will be disarmed automatically whena towbar is fitted.Driving advice Distribution of loads:
Distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to theaxle and the nose weight approach-es the maximum permitted withoutexceeding it. Cooling: towing a trailer on a slope
increases the temperature of the coolant. As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependenton the engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the engine speed and reduceyour speed. The maximum towing load on a long slope depends on the gradient andthe outside temperature. In all cases, pay attention to the coolant temperature. If the warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the engineas soon as possible. Tyres:
check the tyre pressures of
the towing vehicle and of the trailer,observing the recommended pres-sures. Braking: towing increases the braking
distance.Lights: check the electrical sig-
nalling on the trailer.Side winds: take into acount the
increased sensitivity to side wind.
