ADVICE ON CHILD SEATS

The incorrect installation of a child seat
in a vehicle compromises the child's
protection in the event of an accident.
Remember to fasten the seat belts or
the child seat harnesses keeping the
slack
in relation to the child's body to a
minimum
, even for short journeys.
For optimum installation of the "forward
facing" child seat, ensure that the back
of the child seat is in contact with the
back of the vehicle's seat and that the
head restraint does not cause any
discomfort.
If the head restraint has to be removed,
ensure that it is stored or attached
securely to prevent it from being
thrown around the vehicle in the event
of sharp braking.
Children under the age of 10 must not
travel in the "forward facing" position
on the front passenger seat, unless
the rear seats are already occupied by
other children, cannot be used or are
absent.
Deactivate the passenger's airbag
when a "rear facing" child seat is
installed on the front seat.
Otherwise, the child would risk being
seriously injured or killed if the airbag
were to infl ate.
As a safety precaution, do not leave:


- one or more children alone and
unsupervised in a vehicle,

- a child or an animal in a vehicle
which is exposed to the sun, with
the windows closed,

- the keys within reach of children
inside the vehicle.
To prevent accidental opening of the
doors, use the "Child Lock".
Take care not to open the rear windows
by more than one third.
To protect young children from the rays
of the sun, fi t side blinds to the rear
windows.


Installing a booster seat

The chest part of the seat belt must
be positioned on the child's shoulder
without touching the neck.
Ensure that the lap part of the seat belt
passes correctly over the child's thighs.
PEUGEOT recommends the use of a
booster seat which has a back, fi tted
with a seat belt guide at shoulder level.

102
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

ACCESSORIE

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/DSC

The ABS or DSC 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:

Equipment


Anti-theft alarm, window etching, fi rst
aid kit, high visibility vest, front and
rear parking sensors, warning triangle,
security bolts for alloy wheels

Front seat covers compatible with
airbags, bench, rubber mats, carpet
mats, snow chains, blind, tailgate
bicycle carrier,

Audio equipment, hands-free kit,
speakers, CD changer, satellite navigation
system, USB Box, Video kit, …
To prevent the mat from becoming
caught under the pedals:


- ensure that the mat and its fi xings
are positioned correctly,

- never fi t one mat on top of another.

Regardless of the audio and telematic
equipment offered on the market,
the technical constraints associated
with the fi tting of equipment of these
families of products mean that the
special features of the equipment and
its compatibility with the capacities of
the your vehicle's standard equipment
must be taken into account. Please
contact a PEUGEOT dealer for
more information before fi tting such
equipment.
Maximum weights on bars

Installation of radiocommunication
transmitters
Before installing accessory
radiocommunication transmitters with
an external aerial on your vehicle, you
are advised to contact a representative
of the PEUGEOT marque.
The PEUGEOT dealer network will
inform you of the specifi cations
(frequency band, maximum output
power, aerial position, specifi c
installation conditions) of the
transmitters which can be fi tted, in
accordance with the Motor Vehicle
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive
(2004/104/CE).

The fi tting of electrical equipment
or accessories which are not
recommended by Automobiles
PEUGEOT may result in the failure
of your vehicle's electronic system.
Please note this specifi c warning. You
are advised to contact a representative
of the Marque to be shown the range
of recommended equipment and
accessories.
Depending on the country in which
the vehicle is sold or operated, it is
compulsory to have a high visibility
safety jacket, warning triangle and
replacement bulbs available in the
vehicle.

"Active Fleet Data" Telematic unit
Connected directly to the heart of the
vehicle ("Full CAN" multiplexed network),
as part of a comprehensive service, the
telematic unit allows the sending in real
time of information such as:


- distance travelled,

- distance remaining before the next
service,

- warnings and faults (oil level,
coolant level, oil temperature,
coolant temperature, etc…).
This enables Fleet managers
to optimise the monitoring and
management of their business vehicles.
Availability according to country; contact
a PEUGEOT dealer for more information.
