If your vehicle is fitted with an additional
air conditioning unit, located in the rear of
the vehicle: the distribution duct located in
the roof and the individual diffusion vents
provide a perfect diffusion of cold air.
the warm air dif

fused at the floor, from the
front air conditioning unit, is distributed at
the feet of the rear passengers of rows 2
and 3.
A warm air diffusion vent, located on the rear
left wheelarch, may complete the assembly

additional to the standard equipment.
It can operate independently of the engine.
Additional heater or programmable

easier.
It improves the demisting and defrosting
performance and that of the heated seats, if
fitted to the vehicle.
the passenger compartment heating is


brought up to temperature more rapidly.
this system must be programmed to start up


before you enter the vehicle. On the 5-9 seats version, it is
located at the rear. Depending
on the model version, the air
diffusion is either direct from the
rear or comes from the rail located under
each of the two rows of seats.

When rapid demisting and
defrosting is required, switch off the control.
Automatic additional heating
this is an additional system which starts
automatically when the ignition is switched
on. Its activation depends on the ambient

temperature and the temperature inside the
vehicle.
It switches off automatically once the

Switching off the heating
In the case of deferred operation, the
heating stops at the end of the programmed
period.
Good practice
to avoid any risk of poisoning or
asphyxiation, the additional heating must
not be used, even for short periods, in
an enclosed space such as a garage or
workshop which is not fitted with an exhaust
gas extraction system.
the additional heating switches of

f when the
battery voltage is low, so as to allow engine
starting.
the additional heating is supplied by the


vehicle's fuel tank.
ensure that the low fuel


warning lamp is not on.
Always switch off the additional heating
when filling with fuel to avoid any risk of fire
or explosion.
the temperature near the heater must not

exceed 120
°C.
A temperature higher than
this (for example in the case of painting in
an oven) could damage the components of
the electronic circuits.
the additional heating is fitted with

a temperature limiter which cuts off
the combustion in the event of engine
overheating due to a lack of coolant. Check
the level and if necessary top-up following
the advice given in the "Checks - Levels"
section.

this system is activated automatically every

time the vehicle is started.
In the event of a problem of adhesion or
trajectory, this system comes into play.
Switching off
In exceptional conditions (starting a vehicle
which is bogged down, stuck in snow,
on soft ground...), it may be advisable to
deactivate the ASR system, so that the
wheels can spin freely and regain grip.

Press this button, located in the
middle of the dashboard, to deactivate


the
system.
Anti-slip regulation (ASr)
Anti-slip regulation (also known as traction
control) optimises traction, avoiding wheel
spin by acting on the brakes of the driving
wheels and the engine.
If the button's warning lamp comes
on, accompanied by a message in the
instrument panel screen, this indicates that
the ASR system is deactivated.
It comes into operation in the
event of a grip or trajectory
problem.
this is indicated by flashing of this warning

Improved safety and security
Impact resistance
Your vehicle has been designed to limit
the forces on the passenger compartment
as much as possible in the event of a
collision, the engine compartment adopts
a progressive deformation structure and
the front doors have been reinforced to
contribute to the rigidity of the whole.
Anti-theft protection
Your vehicle, in the van version, comprises
two zones with separate locking: the cab
and the load space.
Depending on the way in which it is used,
this function provides increased protection
both for your personal belongings and for
your merchandise.
An exterior protection alarm with anti-tilt
detection is available (as standard or as an
option) in certain countries.Details of these functions are given in
the "Ready to set off - Front and rear
doors" section.

deactivating the passenger's front
airbag
When OFF is selected, the passenger's front
airbag will not be triggered in the event of an
impact.
As soon as the child seat is removed, select
ON to re-activate the airbag and thus ensure
the safety of your front passengers in the
event of an impact.Lateral airbags and curtain airbags
If your vehicle is fitted with lateral airbags,
these are fitted to the front seat backs on
the door side.
the curtain airbags are fitted to the door


pillars and the upper part of the passenger
compartment, in the roof over the front cab
seats.
they inflate between the occupant and the


glazed area.
they are deployed independently of each


other depending on which side the collision
occurs.
to ensure the safety of your child, it is
essential to deactivate the passenger's


front airbag when you install a rearward
facing child seat on the front passenger
seat. Otherwise, the child would risk being
killed or seriously injured if the airbag were
to inflate.
If your vehicle's front passenger airbag
cannot be deactivated: you must not install a
rearward facing child seat.

driving advice
distribution of loads: distribute the load in
the trailer so that the heaviest objects 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.
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.
tyres: check the tyre pressures of the


towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing
the recommended pressures.
Fitting a towbar
We recommend the use of genuine
P
eugeOt towbars and their harnesses,
which have been tested and approved from


the design stage of your vehicle and that
the fitting of this equipment is entrusted to a
P
eugeOt dealer.
these genuine towbars are compatible with


the operation of the rear parking sensors
and the reversing camera, if fitted to your
vehicle.
If this equipment is not fitted by a P
eugeOt
dealer, it must be fitted in line with the


manufacturer's instructions.
Good practice
If the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
Refer to the "Checks - Levels and
checks" section.
Brakes: towing increases the braking
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. ABS: the system only controls the vehicle,
not the trailer.
rear parking sensors:

the system is
deactivated while the vehicle is towing with a
genuine P
eugeOt towbar fitted.
Refer to the "
technical data -
Identification markings" section.
