Seat belts
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a
pretensioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of a front or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the
pretensioning system instantly tightens the seat
belts against the body of the occupants.
The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of the
seat belt on the chest of the occupant, so
improving their protection.Fastening

When towing
Distribution of loads
F 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
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.
For more information on Weights
, refer to the
corresponding section. F
I
f 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, the use of
engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam
height of your vehicle.
For more information on Adjusting the
headlamp beam height , refer to the
corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the
audible signal if a genuine PEUGEOT
towbar is used.
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.
F

T
o 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.

Before each use
Check that the towball is correctly fitted, verifying the follow points:
- t he towball is correctly engaged (position A ),
-

t
he safety lock is on and the key removed; the trigger can no longer be operated,
-

t
he towball must not be able to move in its carrier; test by shaking it with your hand.
If the towball is not locked, the trailer could separate - Risk of an accident!
During use
Never release the locking system with a trailer or load carrier on the towball.
Never exceed the maximum authorised weight for the vehicle plus trailer - the Gross Train
Weight or GTW.
You must not exceed the maximum nose weight on the towbar: if exceeded, this could result
in detachment from the vehicle - Risk of an accident!
Check that the trailer lighting and signalling work correctly.
Before setting off, check the adjustment of the headlamp beam height.
For more information on Adjusting the headlamp beam height , refer to the corresponding
section.
Following use
When travelling without a trailer or load on a towbar-mounted carrier, the towball must be
removed and the protective plug inserted in the carrier. This measure applies particularly
where the towball might obscure visibility of the number plate or its lighting.
Maintenance
Correct operation is only possible if the towball
and its carrier are kept clean.
Before cleaning the vehicle with a high-
pressure jet wash, the towball must be removed
and the protective plug fitted to the carrier.
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop for any work on the towbar system.

Fitting roof bars
Fitting directly to the roofMaximum load on the roof bars, evenly
spread and with a load height not
exceeding 40 cm (except for bicycle
c a r r i e r s): 80 kg.
For more information, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the
speed of the vehicle to the profile of the
road to avoid damaging the roof bars
and the vehicle's anchorage points.
For transporting objects which are
longer than the vehicle, refer to local
legislation.
Recommendations
- Distribute the load evenly, avoiding overloading on one side.
-
A

rrange the heaviest part of the load
as close as possible to the roof.
-

L
ash the load securely.
-

D
rive gently: the vehicle will be
more susceptible to the effects of
side winds and the stability of the
vehicle may be affected.
-

O
n a long journey, check the
security of the load at every stop.
-

R
emove the roof bars once they are
no longer needed.
As a safety measure and to avoid
damaging the roof, it is essential to use
the transverse bars approved for your
vehicle.
Observe the instructions on fitting and
use contained in the guide supplied with
the roof bars.
You must attach the transverse bars only at
the four anchorage points located at the edge
of the roof. These points are hidden by the
vehicle's doors when closed.
The roof bar fixings include a stud which
must be fitted to the aperture at each of the
anchorage points.
Fitting on longitudinal
bars
You must attach the transverse bars at the
engraved markings on the longitudinal bars.
