tow Peugeot 307 SW Dag 2002 User Guide

REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE This system consists of four proximi- ty sensors, located in the rear bum-
per, and a special speaker fitted inthe fascia. This detects any obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, pavement etc.)behind the vehicle. 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 wintry
weather, ensure that the sensors are
not covered with 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 vehicleapproaches the obstacle. When distance between the rear of the vehicle and the obstacle is lessthan approximately twenty-five centi-metres, the audible signal becomescontinuous.Deactivation
Change to neutral, the system is again inactive.

tery checked by a PEUGEOT dealer. Air filter and pollen filter Have the filter elements replaced
regularly. If you drive in dusty
conditions, change them twice asoften. Brake pads Brake pad wear depends on the style of driving, in particular for vehicleswhich are used in town, over shortdistances. It may be necessary tocheck the thickness of the pads,even between services. Handbrake Where the handbrake travel is too great or there is a reduction in theperformance of the system, thehandbrake should be adjusted, evenbetween services. Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer. Manual gearbox This does not need an oil change. Check the level, according to themanufacturer's servicing schedule. Automatic gearbox This does not need an oil change. Have the level checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer, according to themanufacturer's servicing schedule. Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accor- dance with the servicing schedule.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL (DIESEL) If you should run out of fuel, it is necessary to re-prime the circuit:
- fill the fuel tank with at least five
litres of diesel,
- operate the manual re-priming pump, until you feel resistance during the manoeuvre,
- operate the starter until the engine starts.

From the rear: Unclip the top of the cover using a coin,
Screw in the removable towing eye as far as it will go.
Lifting (2 wheels only on the road ) 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:
- lever in position
N,
- tow the vehicle at less than 50 km/h over a maximum distance of 50 km.

TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT ETC.
Only use original PEUGEOT tow bars that have been tested andapproved from the design stage of
your vehicle. The tow bar must be fit-
ted by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Your vehicle is basically designed for transporting people and luggage butit may also be used for towing a trai-
ler. 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 1000 metres, the maximumtowing load must be reduced by 10%and so on for every 1000 metres ofaltitude.Driving advice Distribution of loads Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as closeas possible to the axle and the noseweight approaches the maximumpermitted without exceeding 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 Adjust your headlamps so that they do not dazzle other road users.Check the electrical signalling on the
trailer. Side wind
Take into acount the increased sen- sitivity to side wind.
