REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE
This system consists of four proximity
sensors, located in the rear bumper,
and a special speaker fitted under the
rear parcel shelf.
It detects any obstacle (person, vehicle,
tree, gate, pavement etc.) behind the
vehicle.
Note: this function will be disarmed
when the vehicle is towing a trailer
(vehicle fitted with towing attachment
recommended by PEUGEOT). In win
ter, ensure that the sensors are not
covered with frost or snow.
Activation
The system is activated as soon as
reverse gear is engaged; an audible
bleep shows that it is active.
An audible signal indicates the prox
imity of the obstacle. This signal
becomes more rapid as the vehicle
approaches the obstacle.
When the distance between the rear
of the vehicle and the obstacle is
less than approximately twentyfive
centimetres, the audible signal
becomes continuous. Deactivation
 Change to neutral, the system
becomes inactive.

When towing with four wheels on the
ground, the following rules must be
obeyed:
– lever in position
N,
– tow the vehicle at less than 30 mph (50 km/h) over a maximum
distance of 30 miles (50 km).
– do not add oil to the gearbox.
TOWING YOUR VEHICLE
Without lifting (4 wheels on the road)
You should always use a tow bar.
The towing eye is inside the spare wheel.
From the front:
 Unclip the bottom of the cover, using the flat part of th e towing eye.

T
OWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT ETC...
Only use original PEUGEOTtow
bars which have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
your vehicle.
The tow bar must be fitted by a
PEUGEOTdealer.
Driving advice
Distribution of loads: distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heaviest
loads are as close as possible to the
axle and the nose weight is close to
the maximum authorised without,
however, exceeding it.
Cooling: towing a trailer on a slope
increases the coolant temperature.
As the fan is electronically con
trolled, its cooling capacity is not
dependent on the engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to
lower the engine speed, and reduce
your speed. In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant temperature.
Note:
in certain cases of particularly
arduous use (towing the maximum
load up a steep slope in high tem
peratures), the engine automatically
limits its power. In this case, cutting
off the air conditioning allows the
engine power to be recovered, and
therefore the towing speed to be sig
nificantly increased (approximately
12mph [20 km/h] more).
If the coolant temperature warning
light comes on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as soon as pos
sible.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures of
the towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pres
sure.
Brakes: towing increases the brak
ing distance. Drive at a moderate
speed, change down early and brake
gradually.
Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed. Lighting
Manual adjustment
Adjust your headlamps so as not to
dazzle other road users (see section
on ''Manual adjustment of head
lamps''). Check the electrical sig
nalling of the trailer.
Automatic beam correction
For vehicles with Xenon bulbs, this
system automatically corrects the
height of the beam, whatever the
load of the vehicle. The driver is then
assured of having optimum lighting
and not causing a nuisance to other
road users.
In cases of malfunction, the driver is
alerted by means of the warning light
on the instrument panel.
In this situation the system adjusts
your headlamps to the low position.
