PC: Peugeot Connect is the
name given to all of the new
equipment of the radio/
navigation range.
The "Technology on board"
section presents the new
radio/navigation systems.
The "Location" section
assists you in fi nding the
controls and functions
and their associated page
numbers on the schematic
outlines of the vehicle
(visual index).

Limit the causes of excess
consumption

Spread loads throughout the
vehicle; place the heaviest items in
the bottom of the boot, as close as
possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the
vehicle and reduce wind resistance
(roof bars, roof rack, bicycle
carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in
preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks
after use.

At the end of winter, remove snow
tyres and refi t your summer tyres.



Observe the recommendations
on maintenance

Check the tyre pressures regularly,
when cold, referring to the label in the
door aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:


- before a long journey,

- at each change of season,

- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the
tyres on any trailer or caravan.

Have your vehicle serviced regularly
(engine oil, oil fi lter, air fi lter...) and
observe the schedule of operations
recommended by the manufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after
the 3 rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid
any overfl ow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle,
it is only after the fi rst 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see
the fuel consumption settle down to a
consistent average.

Parking sensors

SAFETY
4


Activation / Deactivation
Malfunction

In the event of a malfunction, when
reverse gear is engaged the LED in the
button comes on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the
screen. Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.


Good practice

In bad weather or in winter, ensure that
the sensors are not covered with mud,
ice or snow.
The system will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed
or if a bicycle carrier is fi tted (vehicle
fi tted with a towbar or bicycle carrier
recommended by PEUGEOT).
The parking assistance cannot, in
any circumstances, take the place of
the vigilance and responsibility of the
driver. You can activate or deactivate
the system by pressing this
button.
The activation or deactivation
of the system is stored when
the vehicle stops.

You are advised to deactivate
the system if your vehicle is fi tted
with a rear ladder or if you are
transporting a load which exceeds the
length of the vehicle.

Towing a trailer

For more information about
weights, refer to the administrative
documents (registration
document, ...) or to the "Weights"
section of chapter 8.
TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...


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.
You should therefore use a high gear
to lower the engine speed and reduce
your speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant temperature.


Driving advice

A towed vehicle must free wheel:
gearbox in neutral.

Towing a trailer



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 air conditioning is
automatically cut off to save engine
power.


Tyres:
check the tyre pressures of
the towing vehicle (see the
"Identifi cation markings" section of
chapter 8) and of the trailer, observing
the recommended pressures.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 6. If the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the
engine as soon as possible.

Brakes

Towing increases the braking distance.
Drive at a moderate speed, change
down early and brake gradually.

Towbar

We recommend the use of genuine
PEUGEOT towbars and their
harnesses, which have been tested
and approved from the design stage of
your vehicle, and that you entrust the
fi tting of this equipment to a PEUGEOT
dealer.
If this equipment is not fi tted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative that
it is fi tted using the electrical pre-
equipment installed at the rear of the
vehicle and in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
In accordance with the general
instructions a reminder of which has
been given above, we draw your
attention to the risk associated with
fi tting a towbar or electrical accessory
not recommended by PEUGEOT.
Fitting such equipment could result in
the failure of your vehicle's electronic
system. Please obtain information from
the Manufacturer before fi tting this type
of equipment.


OTHER ACCESSORIES

These accessories and parts, having been
tested and approved for reliability and
safety, are all adapted to your vehicle. A
wide range of recommended accessories
and genuine parts is available.

Range of trade equipment
The parts department publishes an
accessory catalogue offering various
equipment and fi ttings, such as:
Load retainers (all models).
Loading roller.
Towbar, towbar harness: trailer towbar
which should preferably be fi tted by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Separation partitions and grilles,
smooth, non-slip wooden protective
fl oor.
Protective grilles.


Side wind

Sensitivity to side wind is increased.
Drive smoothly and at a moderate
speed.
ABS/ESP

The ABS or ESP systems only control
the vehicle, not the trailer or caravan.

Rear parking sensors

The parking sensors system does not
function while the vehicle is towing.

Another range is also available,
structured around comfort, leisure and
maintenance:
