fascia on the left-hand side (in the
glove box) and in the engine com-
partment next to the battery. Correct
Removing and fitting a fuse
Before changing a fuse you must fi nd
out the cause of the fault and have it
put right. The fuse numbers are indi-
cated on the fuse box.
Incorrect * The maxi fuses provide
additional protection for
the electrical systems. All
work must be carried out
by a PEUGEOT dealer.

TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, etc.
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars and their har-
nesses that have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
your vehicle and that the fi tting of the
towbar is entrusted to a PEUGEOT
dealer.
If the towbar is not fi tted by a PEUGEOT
dealer, it is imperative that it is fi tted us-
ing the electrical pre-equipment installed
at the rear of the vehicle, in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Your vehicle is primarily designed
for transporting people and luggage
but it may also be used for towing a
trailer.
Driving with a trailer subjects the tow-
ing vehicle to more signifi cant stress
and its driver must be particularly
careful.
Air density decreases with altitude,
thus reducing engine performance.
Above 1 000 metres, the maximum
towing load must be reduced by 10 %
and so on for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
Cooling: Towing a trailer on a slope
increases the temperature of the
coolant.
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.
The maximum towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and
the outside temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the cool-
ant temperature.
In certain cases of particularly ardu-
ous use (towing the maximum load
on a steep gradient in high tempera-
tures), switching off the air condition-
ing permits the recovery of engine
power and therefore an increase in
the towing capacity.
If the 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 and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pres-
sures.

Braking: Towing increases the brak-
ing distance.

Lights: Check the electrical signal-
ling on the trailer.

Side wind: Take into account the in-
creased sensitivity to side wind.
FITTING ROOF BARS
When fi tting transverse or longitudinal
roof bars, use the accessories recom-
mended by PEUGEOT and follow the
manufacturer’s fi tting instructions.
For further information, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.

Maximum authorised weight on
the roof bars: 60 kg
Please refer to national legislation in
order to comply with the regulations
concerning the transportation of objects
which are longer than the vehicle.
Driving advice

Distribution of loads: Distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heaviest
items are as close as possible to the
axle and the nose weight approach-
es the maximum permitted without
exceeding it.
