FRONT AND/OR REAR
PARKING ASSISTANCE
If fi tted 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 fi eld: 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.
This system does not take the place of the vigilance and responsibility of the driver.
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 fl ashes, 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.
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.
This function will be deactivated automatically when the vehicle is towing a trailer or when a bicycle carrier is fi tted (vehicle fi tted with towing attachment or bicycle carrier recommended by PEUGEOT ).

Towing a trailer
ACCESSORIES
5
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 8.
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.

108
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
fi rst for further information .
Automatic adjustment
For vehicles with Xenon bulbs, and if
the change in load makes it necessary,
this system automatically corrects the
height of the beam after approximately
2 minutes. 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 signifi cantly increased
(approximately 12 mph [20 km/h]
more). Sequential control of the
gearbox may also become unavailable. Lighting
Bicycle carrier If you fi t a bicycle carrier on
the tailgate, deactivate the
rear wiper from the display's
confi guration menu.
Refer to the "Identifi cation
features" section of chapter 8. 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 7.

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 fi tted 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 fi tting
should be carried out by a professional,
we recommend that you entrust the
fi tting 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 fi tting 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.

with fi xed roof bars The GTW and towing load values indicated are valid up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towing load
mentioned must be reduced by 10 % for each additional 1 000 metres of altitude.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (100 k m/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High exterior temperatures may result in a reduction in the perf ormance of the vehicle in order to protect the engine;
when the exterior temperature is above 37 °C, restrict the towe d weight.
