comfort and safety.
Each seat of the bench is fitted with an
inertia reel seat belt.
Refer to section 5 to read the "Good
practice" recommendations.
Access to the box under the bench seat
From the cab
Tilt the seat cushion forwards to gain access
to the large box.
From the load space
Raise the two flaps which make the full
length at the floor available. The flaps are
retained in the raised position by magnets
on the back of the partition.
Good pratice
Do not tilt the bench seat cushion during
transportation.
No not attach anything to the cab fixing
structure.
Do not exceed the number of passengers
indicated on the registration certificate.
Do not install child seats, booster cushions or
carrycots on the rear seats of the crew cab.
In the rear, the load space is intended for
the transportation of goods only.
You are advised to place the goods or heavy
objects as far forwards as possible in the
load space (towards the cab) and secure
them by means of straps using the stowing
rings on the floor.

Mirrors and windows
MIRRORS AND WINDOWS
MIRRORS Door mirrors
These are divided into two zones:

A - Upper mirror

B - Lower mirror
The mirror glass is spherical in order to
widen the lateral field of vision. Objects
seen in the mirror are in reality closer than
they appear. Therefore, this must be taken
into account in order to assess the distance
correctly.
The shell incorporates the direction indicator
side repeater and the aerials, according to
the equipment available on board (GPS,
GSM, Radio, ...).
Electrical controls
Turn the control to select the mirror zone.

1 Driver's mirror:

A1 - Upper mirror

B1 - Lower mirror
Then move the control in the direction of the
adjustment required.

2 Passenger mirror:

A2 - Upper mirror

B2 - Lower mirror
Then move the control in the direction of the
adjustment required.
Rear view mirror
The lever located on the lower edge moves
the mirror into two positions.
For the day position, the lever is pushed.
For the night position to prevent dazzle, pull
the lever towards you.
Electric folding
Press this control.
Defrosting the mirrors
Press the rear screen defrosting
button.

Driving safety
DRIVING SAFELY
PARKING BRAKE HAZARD WARNING LAMPS
Press this button, the direction indicators
flash.
They can operate with the ignition off.
The hazard warning lamps should only be
used in dangerous situations, when stopping
in an emergency or when driving in unusual
conditions.
Applying
Pull the parking brake to immobilise your
vehicle.
Check that the parking brake is applied
firmly before leaving the vehicle.
If the parking brake is still on or has
not been released properly, this is
indicated by this warning lamp which
comes on on the instrument panel.
When parking on a slope, direct your wheels
towards the pavement and pull the parking
brake lever up.
There is no advantage in engaging a gear after
parking the vehicle, particularly if the vehicle is
loaded.
Releasing
Pull the lever and press the button to lower
the parking brake lever.

Towing a trailer
TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...
For more information about weights,
refer to the administrative documents
(V5 registration document, ...)
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. Driving advice
A towed vehicle must free wheel: gearbox in
neutral.

ACCESSORIES
Towing a trailer

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 (see the "Identification
markings" section of chapter 9) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressures.
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT 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
PEUGEOT dealer.
If this equipment is not fitted by a PEUGEOT
dealer, it is imperative that it is fitted using
the electrical pre-equipment installed at the
rear of the vehicle and in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.
Good practice
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, the automatic cutting off of the air
conditioning allows the engine power to be
recovered.
If the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 7.
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 does not
operate while the vehicle is towing.

Checks
CHECKS
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
A clogged passenger compartment filter
may reduce the performance of the
air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours. The replacement
intervals for these components are indicated
in the servicing booklet.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle
(urban driving...), change them twice as
often if necessary, refer to the "Under the
bonnet" section of chapter 7.
Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule. To check the main levels and certain
components, in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule, refer to
the pages of the servicing booklet which
correspond to your vehicle's engine.
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent quality
and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of units as
important as the braking system, PEUGEOT
selects and offers specific products.
In order to avoid damaging the electrical
units, high pressure washing to clean the
engine compartment is strictly prohibited.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too great
or there is a reduction in the performance
of the system, the parking brake should be
adjusted, even between services.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Bleeding the water contained in the Diesel filter
If this warning lamp comes on,
bleed the filter, otherwise bleed
regularly each time the engine oil
is changed.
To drain the water out, unscrew the bleed
screw or the water in Diesel sensor, located
at the base of the filter. Leave open until
all of the water has been drained out. Then
tighten the bleed screw or the water sensor.
HDi engines use advanced technology. All
work requires a special qualification which is
guaranteed by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the thickness of the
pads, even between services.
Unless there is a leak on the system, a drop
in the brake fluid level indicates that the
brake pads are worn.
Brake disc/drum wear status
For any information relating to checking
the brake disc/drum wear status, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the servicing schedule.
