FRONT AND/OR REAR
PARKING ASSISTANCE
If itted on your vehicle, the system is
audible and/or visual and consists of
four proximity sensors, located in the
front and/or rear bumper. The sensors
detect any obstacle which enters
the ield: person, vehicle, tree, gate,
located in front of or behind the vehicle
during the manoeuvre.
Objects the size or thickness of which
is detected at the beginning of the
manoeuvre, may no longer be detected
at the end of the manoeuvre: due to
blind spots between and below the
sensors. Examples: stake, roadworks
cone, kerbstone.Switching the system on
The system is activated as soon as:
- reverse gear is engaged,
- the speed falls below 6 mph
(10 km/h) in forward gear.
This is accompanied by an audible
signal and displaying of the vehicle,
depending on the display.
The proximity information is given by:
- an audible signal, which becomes more rapid as the vehicle
approaches the obstacle,
- a graphic on the display, with blocks which become progressively
closer to the vehicle.
The obstacle is located in relation to the
emission of the audible signal from the
speakers, front or rear and right or left. Switching the system off
Press the button again to re-activate
the system. The indicator light on the
button switches off.
In bad or wintry weather, ensure
that the sensors are not covered
with mud, frost or snow.
In this case (e.g. sensors dirty), when
reverse gear is engaged, the indicator
light lashes, accompanied by an audible
signal and a message on the display.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer. Deactivation
Press the button on the fascia
to deactivate the system (to
avoid waking a child...). The
indicator light on the button
comes on.
This function will be deactivated
automatically when the vehicle is
towing a trailer or when a bicycle
carrier is itted (vehicle itted with
towing attachment or bicycle carrier
recommended by PEUGEOT).
The system returns to the inactive status:
- when you exit reverse gear,
- when the speed increases to above 6 mph (10 km/h),
- at the end of the manoeuvre, when the vehicle becomes stationary
(front parking assistance only).
Re-activation
When the distance between the
vehicle and the obstacle is less than
approximately thirty centimetres, the
audible signal becomes continuous
and the "Danger" symbol appears
depending on the display.

Towing a trailer
ACCESSORIES
6
TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...
Refer to the administrative
documents (V5, ...) or to the Petrol
or Diesel "Dimensions, weights
and towed loads" section of chapter 9. 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 electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.
Dimension A
= 0.96 m
Driving advice
A towed vehicle must free wheel:
gearbox in neutral.

154
Towing a trailer
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. Brakes:
towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake
gradually. Please contact a PEUGEOT dealer
irst for further information.
Automatic adjustment
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 certain cases of particularly
arduous use (towing the
maximum load up a steep slope
in high temperatures), 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 signiicantly
increased (approximately 12 mph
[20 km/h] more). Sequential control
of the gearbox may also become
unavailable. Lighting
Bicycle carrier If you it a bicycle carrier on
the tailgate, deactivate the
rear wiper from the display’s
coniguration menu.
Refer to the "Identiication
features" section of chapter 9. Refer to the "Steering wheel
controls" section of chapter 3.
When using a trailer connection,
you must add a fuse. Refer to
the "Changing a fuse" section of
chapter 8.
If the coolant temperature warning light
comes on, stop the vehicle and switch
off the engine as soon as possible.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures of
the towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pressure. Side wind:
sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed.
Towbar
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars, which have been
tested for endurance from the design
stage of your vehicle.
Towing equipment must be itted in
accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions, with particular attention to
the towing capacities of your vehicle,
the load towed, the nose weight and
the electrical connection. As this itting
should be carried out by a professional,
we recommend that you entrust the
itting of this equipment to a PEUGEOT
dealer.
In accordance with the general
instructions referred to above, we draw
your attention to the risk connected
with itting a towbar or other electrical
accessory which is not recommended
by the PEUGEOT network. Fitting such
equipment could result in a failure of
your vehicle’s electronic system. Manual adjustment
Adjust your headlamps so as not to
dazzle other road users. Check the
electrical signalling of the trailer.

Changing a wheel
- Unwind the winch cable by unscrewing the bolt using the
wheelbrace.
- Detach the spare wheel from the
rear of the vehicle and place it near
the wheel to be changed. 4. OPERATING PROCEDURE
Special tools for vehicles itted with
alloy wheels
If your vehicle has wheels with alloy
rims:
- The embellisher is removed using the alloy wheel embellisher
remover.
- Each wheel is itted with an
anti-theft bolt.
These bolts can be loosened using your anti-theft socket (given to you
on delivery of your vehicle along
with your conidential card) and the
wheelbrace.
- Remove the trim pulling at the valve passage hole. Use the lat
end of the towing eye as a lever.
- Loosen the wheel bolts and start unscrewing them.

Having your vehicle towedFrom the rear
- Unclip the top of the cover using a coin,
- Screw in the removable towing eye until it locks.
TOWING YOUR VEHICLESpecial features of the
automatic gearbox
When being towed with four wheels on
the road, it is essential to observe the
following rules:
- selector lever in position N,
- tow the vehicle at a speed below
30 mph (50 km/h) over a distance
limited to 30 miles (50 km)
maximum,
- do not add oil to the gearbox.
When towing with the engine switched
off, there is no braking or steering
assistance.
Without lifting
(4 wheels on the road)
You should always use a towbar.
The removable towing eye is inside the
engine compartment.
From the front- Unclip the cover by pressing the
bottom part.
- Screw in the removable towing eye until it locks. Lifting
(2 wheels on the road only)
It is preferable to raise the vehicle
using professional lifting equipment.
Put the gear lever in neutral.
Failure to observe this rule may
result in damage to certain
components.
