To deactivate the system, press this button again; its indicator lamp goes off as well as the associated indicator in the instrument panel.
In the event of a fault, the warning lamp flashes then goes off.
Operating fault
Have it checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
The system is automatically deactivated when towing with a towbar approved by P E U G E O T.
The system may suffer temporary interference in certain weather conditions (rain, hail...). In particular, driving on a wet sur face or moving from a dry area to a wet area can cause false alerts (for example, the presence of a fog of water droplets in the blind spot angle is interpreted as a vehicle). In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the sensors are not covered by mud, ice or snow. Take care not to cover the warning zone in the door mirrors or the detection zones on the front and rear bumpers with adhesive labels or other objects; they may hamper the correct operation of the system.
The state of the system remains in memory on switching off the ignition.
High pressure jet wash When washing your vehicle, direct the lance at least 30 cm away from the sensors.

Front parking sensors
The sound from the speakers (front or rear) indicates whether the obstacle is in front or behind.
The system will be deactivated automatically if a trailer is being towed or a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier recommended by PEUGEOT).
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the sensors are not covered with mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is engaged, an audible signal (long beep) indicates that the sensors may be dirty. Certain sound sources (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger the audible signals of the parking sensor system.
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the front parking sensors are triggered when an obstacle is detected in front and the speed of the vehicle is still below 6 mph (10 km/h). The front parking sensors are interrupted if the vehicle stops for more than three seconds in for ward gear, if no further obstacles are detected or when the speed of the vehicle exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
Deactivation / Activation of the front and rear parking sensors
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the system, when reverse gear is engaged this warning lamp is displayed in the instrument panel and/or a message appears, accompanied by an audible signal (short beep).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
The system is deactivated in the " Driving assistance " menu of the touch screen.
Press this button. The indicator lamp in the button comes on.
Pressing this button again reactivates the function. The indicator lamp in the button goes off.

Towing the vehicle Procedure for having your vehicle towed or for towing another vehicle using a removable towing eye.
Access to the tools
The towing eye is installed in the boot under the floor. To gain access to it: open the boot, raise the floor, remove the towing eye from the holder.
Put the gear lever into neutral. The failure to follow this requirement may lead to damage to components of the braking system and the lack of braking assistance on restarting the engine.
On the front bumper, press the cover (as shown above) to unclip it. Screw the towing eye in fully. Install the towing bar. Switch on the hazard warning lamps on the towed vehicle. Move off gently and drive slowly over a short distance only.

General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in your country. Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle is higher than that of the towed vehicle. The driver must remain at the wheel of the towed vehicle and must have a valid driving licence. When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, always use an approved towing bar; rope and straps are prohibited. The towing vehicle must move off gently. When towing a vehicle with the engine off, there is no longer any power assistance for braking or steering. In the following cases, you must always call on a professional recovery service: - vehicle broken down on a motor way or fast road, - four-wheel drive vehicle, - when it is not possible to put the gearbox into neutral, unlock the steering, or release the parking brake, - towing with only two wheels on the ground, - where there is no approved towing bar available...
On the rear bumper, press the cover (as shown above) to unclip it. Screw the towing eye in fully. Install the towing bar. Switch on the hazard warning lamps on the towed vehicle. Move off gently and drive slowly over a short distance only.

Towing a trailer
We recommend the use of genuine PEUGEOT towbars and their harnesses that have been tested and approved from the design stage of your vehicle, and that the fitting of the towbar is
entrusted to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. If the towbar is not fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative that it is fitted in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's instructions. Towbar suitable for the attachment of a trailer or installation of a bicycle carrier, with additional lighting and signalling.
Blanking cover
When towing, you must remove the blanking cover if your vehicle has one. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop for this. Driving with a trailer places greater demands on the towing vehicle and the driver must take particular care.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for transporting people and luggage, but it may also be used for towing a trailer.
The cover is located behind the lower air intake grille.

Driving advice
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 towed load must be reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of altitude.
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. 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.
If 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 on a long mountain type of descent, the use of engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
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 deactivated automatically if a genuine PEUGEOT towbar is used.
Refer to the "Technical data" section for details of the weights and towed loads which apply to your vehicle.
