AUDIBLE REAR PARKING
ASSISTANCE
This system consists of four proximity
sensors, located in the rear bumper.
This detects any obstacle (person,
cyclist, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) behind
the vehicle. Nevertheless, it cannot
detect obstacles located just below
the bumper.
Warning: an object, such as a stake,
a roadworks cone or any other similar
object detected at the beginning of the
manoeuvre may no longer be detected
during the manoeuvre.
To make manoeuvres in reverse
gear easier, adjust your mirrors in
accordance with the "Automatic
tilting of the mirrors in reverse gear"
function.
Deactivation
If there is an operating fault,
on changing to reverse gear a
warning light on the instrument
panel, an audible signal
and a message on the multifunction
display indicate that there is a system
malfunction.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Your vehicle’s rear speakers emit an
audible signal:
- on the right if an obstacle is detected
on the right,
- on the left if an obstacle is detected
on the left,
- on the right and left if an obstacle is
detected in the centre.
When the distance between the
rear of the vehicle and the obstacle
is less than approximately twentyfive centimetres, the audible signal
becomes continuous.
Activation
The system is activated as soon as
reverse gear is engaged; an audible
bleep shows that it is active.
The proximity information is given by
an audible signal, which becomes
more rapid as the vehicle approaches
the obstacle.
Switching the system off
Change to neutral, the system is
again inactive.
Press the switch on the
centre console.
The indicator light on the
switch comes on and the
system becomes completely inactive.
Maintenance: ensure that the
sensors are not covered with
mud, frost or snow.

display warning
light.
This is accompanied by the audible
signal and the message on the multifunction display which indicates that
under-inflation detection is absent
from one (or several) wheel(s) or that
there is a fault in the system.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to replace
the faulty sensor(s).
All repairs and changing of
tyres on a wheel fitted with this
system must be carried out by
a PEUGEOT dealer.
If, when changing a tyre, you install a
wheel which is not detected by your
vehicle, you must have the system
reinitialised by a PEUGEOT dealer.
The tyre under-inflation detection
system is an aid to driving which does
not replace the need for the driver to
be vigilant or to drive responsibly.
This system does not eliminate
the need to have the tyre pressure
checked regularly (see manufacturer’s
label on the door pillar) to ensure that
the optimum dynamic performance of
the vehicle is maintained and prevent
premature wear of the tyres, particularly
in arduous driving conditions (heavy
load, high speed).
The tyre pressures must be checked
cold, at least once a month. Remember
to check the pressure of the spare
wheel.
The tyre under-inflation detection
system may experience temporary
interference due to radioelectric
emissions on a frequency close to that
used by the system.
This is accompanied by the message
on the multifunction display locating
the wheel concerned.
Note: this message is also
displayed when one of the
wheels is away from the
vehicle (being repaired) or
when one or more wheels without a
sensor are fitted.

engine is running.
Never charge a battery without first
disconnecting the terminals.
Open the windows and close the
sunroof before disconnecting the
battery. If they do not operate normally
following reconnection of the battery,
they must be reinitialised (see
sections "Reinitialisation of the electric
windows" and "Sunroof").
After every reconnection of the battery,
switch on the ignition and wait 1 minute
before starting to allow the electronic
systems to be initialised. However,
if slight difficulties are experienced
after this, please contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.
On the 2.7 litre 24V HDI engine,
if there is no battery in the boot,
do not connect a slave battery to
the positive (+) and negative (-)
terminals under the bonnet as a
short circuit may occur.

TOWING YOUR VEHICLE
Towing a vehicle with an
automatic gearbox in reverse
gear is prohibited (absence of
lubrication).
When towing with four wheels on the
ground, the following rules must be
obeyed:
- lever in position N,
- tow the vehicle at less than 30 mph
(50 km/h) over a maximum distance
of 30 miles (50 km).
- do not add oil to the gearbox.
Lifting (2 wheels only on the
ground)
It is preferable to raise the vehicle with
a professional lifting device.
When towing with the engine switched
off, there is no braking or steering
assistance.
The batteries contain harmful
substances such as sulphuric
acid and lead. They must be
disposed of in accordance
with regulations and must never be
discarded with household waste.
Take used batteries to an approved
collection point.

FITTING ROOF BARS
(SALOON)
When fitting transverse roof bars,
use the four quick-fit fixings provided
for this purpose. Lift the concealing
flaps and adjust the roof bar quick-fit
fixings.
Maximum authorised weight
on the roof rack, for a loading
height not exceeding 40 cm
(with the exception of bicycle
carriers): 80 kg.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the
speed of the vehicle to the profile of
the road to avoid damaging the roof
bars and the fixings on the roof.
Be sure to refer to national legisation
in order to comply with the regulations
for transporting objects which are
longer than the vehicle.
FITTING ROOF BARS (407 SW)
When fitting transverse roof bars,
ensure that they are positioned
correctly.
The correct positions are shown by
marks on each of the longitudinal
bars.
Use accessories approved by
PEUGEOT and follow the manufacturer’s fitting instructions.
Maximum authorised weight
on the roof bars, for a loading
height not exceeding 40 cm
(except bicycle carriers):
100 kg.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the
speed of the vehicle to the condition of
the road, to avoid damaging the roof
bars.
Please refer to national legislation to
comply with the regulations regarding
the transportation of objects which are
longer than the vehicle.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
133
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant temperature.
LightingTOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars which have been
tested and approved from the design
stage of your vehicle and that you
entrust the fitting of the towbar to a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Driving advice
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.
In the case of vehicles fitted with an
HDI engine, it is advisable, following
intensive use (towing on a motorway,
prolonged driving,...), to leave the
engine running at idle for approximately
20 seconds before switching off the
ignition. This limits any increase in the
temperature of the engine after it has
been switched off.
Note: in certain cases of
particularly arduous use
(towing the maximum load in
high temperatures on a steep
slope), the engine automatically limits
its power and selects the appropriate
automatic gearbox gear in manual
mode. In this case, cutting off the air
conditioning allows the engine power
to be recovered, and therefore the
towing capacity to be increased.
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 (label on the central
door pillar on the driver’s side) and
of the trailer towed, observing the
recommended pressure.
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.
Manual adjustment
Adjust your headlamps so as not to
dazzle other road users. Check the
electrical signalling of the trailer.
