PRACTICAL INFORMATION
TOWING YOUR VEHICLE

Your vehicle can only be towed at
the front. Lifting
(2 wheels only on the road)
It is preferable to raise the vehicle by
the wheels.

Never use the radiator crossmember.

When your vehicle is being
towed with the engine switched
off, there is no braking or
steering assistance.
Without lifting
(4 wheels on the road)
You should always use a towing bar.
The removable towing eye is stored
in the spare wheel, under the boot
carpet.

 press the lower part of the cover
in order to take hold of the upper
part,

 pull the cover to unclip it,

 screw in the towing eye fully.

tion N for the "2 Tronic" gear-
box.
FITTING ROOF BARS
When fi tting transverse roof bars,
use the accessories recommended
by PEUGEOT and follow the manu-
facturer's fi tting instructions.
For further information, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Please refer to national legis-
lation in order to comply with
the regulations concerning
the transportation of objects
which are longer than the
vehicle.
Towing with fours wheels on the
road must be carried out at very low
speed over a very short distance (in
accordance with the legislation in
force).
In all other cases, your vehicle must
be transported on a trailer.
Vehicles fitted with a manual
gearbox (diesel version)
In the case of vehicles fi tted with a
manual gearbox, the gear lever must
be in the neutral position.
Failure to observe this special condi-
tion may result in damage to certain
braking components and the absence
of braking assistance the next time
the engine is started.
Maximum weight authorised on
the bars, for a loading height not
exceeding 40 cm (except bicycle
carrier): 50 kg.

If the height exceeds 40 cm,
adapt the speed of the vehicle to
the profi le of the road to avoid
