3rd row. Open the covers of the corresponding upper faste- nings. Fit the ends of the metal bar in these fastenings.Secure the two opaque material strap hooks in the sto-
wing rings on the floor. The rings are located directly below the corresponding upper fastenings. Pull the two straps taut.Secure the two hooks on the elastic parts of the opaque material in these rings. Note: the net must be positioned so that the label can
be seen from the boot. This ensures that the central
seat belt is routed correctly.
3. 12V Socket for accessories This is a 12 volt socket (lighter type), installed on theload space cover left support.

REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE This system consists of four proximi- ty sensors, located in the rear bum-
per, 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 approachesthe obstacle. When the 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.

5 - Bolt cover tools.
6 - Centralising tool.
7 - Removable chock. Parking the vehicle 
As far as possible, park the vehicle on level, stable and non-slippery ground.
 Apply the handbrake, switch offthe ignition and engage first orreverse gear (position Pfor the
automatic gearbox). Access to the spare wheel 
Open the boot.

TOWING YOUR VEHICLE
Without lifting (4 wheels on the road)
You should always use a tow bar. The removable towing eye is inside the boot right-hand trim. From the front: Unclip the cover, by pressing the bottom part,
 Screw in the removable towing eye as far as it will go.
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,
- do not add oil to the gearbox.

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 Check the electrical signalling on the
trailer. Side wind
Take into acount the increased sen- sitivity to side wind.
