The electrical circuit of
your vehicle is designed
to operate with standard
or optional equipment.
Before installing other
electrical equipment or acces-
sories in your vehicle, consult a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Some electrical accessories or
the way in which they are itted
may have an adverse effect on the
operation of your vehicle (its elec-
tronic control circuits, the audio
circuit and the electrical charging
circuit).
PEUGEOT declines any responsi-
bility for expenses incurred in the
repair of your vehicle or for any
malfunctions resulting from the in-
stallation of auxiliary accessories,
not supplied and not recommend-
ed by PEUGEOT and not installed
in accordance with PEUGEOT's
instructions, in particular for any
equipment the power consumption
of which exceeds 10 milliamps.

BATTERY
To charge the battery using a
battery charger:
- Disconnect the battery,
- Follow the instructions for use
given by the battery charger
manufacturer,
- Reconnect starting with the negative (-) terminal,
- Check that the terminals and connectors are clean. If they are
covered with sulphate (white or
greenish deposit), disconnect
them and clean them.
- Wait for 2 minutes after switching off
the ignition before
disconnecting the
battery.
- Never disconnect a terminal when the engine is running.
- Never charge a battery without irst disconnecting the
terminals.
- Close the windows and the roof before disconnecting the
battery.
- After every reconnection of the battery, switch on the
ignition and wait 1 minute
before starting to allow the
electronic systems to be
initialised. If slight dificulties
are experienced after this,
please consult a PEUGEOT
dealer.
It is advisable to disconnect the
battery if the vehicle is not to be
used for a period of more than
one month.
ECONOMY MODE FUNCTION
After the engine has stopped, certain
functions (windscreen wiper, elec
-
tric windows, courtesy lights, audio
equipment, etc.) can only be used for
a combined duration of approximately
thirty minutes, to prevent discharging
the battery.
Once the thirty minutes are over, a
switching to economy mode mes -
sage appears on the multi-function
display and the active functions are
put on standby.
These functions are reactivated au-
tomatically next time the vehicle is
driven.
In order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, the engine
must be started and left to run for a
few minutes.
The time available to you will then be
double the duration for which the en -
gine is left running. However, this pe -
riod will always be between ive and
thirty minutes.
To start the vehicle from another
battery:
- Connect the red cable to the
positive (+) terminals of the
two batteries,
- Connect one end of the green or black cable to the negative (-)
terminal of the slave battery,
- Connect the other end of the green or black cable to an
earth point on the broken down
vehicle, as far as possible from
the battery (for example, right-
hand engine mounting),
- Operate the starter, let the engine run,
- Wait for the engine to return to idle, then disconnect the cables.
A lat battery prevents the
engine from starting.

Front towing eye
TOWING YOUR VEHICLE
Never use the radiator
crossmember.
Special features of the automatic
gearbox
When towing with all four wheels on
the ground, the following rules must
be adhered to:
- gear lever in position N,
- tow the vehicle at a speed less than 30 mph (50 km/h) over
a distance of not more than
30 miles (50 km),
- do not add oil to the gearbox. Rear towing eye
From the front or the rear
Attach the tow bar to the towing eye.
By lifting (two wheels only on the
ground)
It is preferable to lift the vehicle by
the wheels.
Without lifting (four wheels on the
ground)
You must always use a tow bar.
VEHICLES FITTED WITH A
MANUAL GEARBOX
(diesel version)
In the case of vehicles itted with a
manual gearbox, the gear lever must
be in the "neutral" position. Failure to
observe this special condition may
result in damage to certain brak-
ing components and the absence of
braking assistance the next time the
engine is started.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

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 itting of the
towbar is entrusted to a PEUGEOT
dealer.
If the towbar is not itted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative
that it is itted using 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
towing vehicle to more signiicant
stress and its driver must be particu-
larly 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. 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.
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 arduous
use (towing the maximum load on a
steep gradient in high temperatures),
switching off the air conditioning per -
mits the recovery of engine power and
therefore an increase in the towing ca -
pacity.
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
braking distance.
Lights: Check the electrical signal-
ling on the trailer.
Side wind: Take into account the
increased sensitivity to side wind.

Fitting/removing the mat
When removing the mat on the driver’s
side, push the seat as far back as pos -
sible and remove the ixings.
When reitting, position the mat correct -
ly on the pin and clip the ixings. Check
that the mat is secured correctly.
To prevent the mat from becoming
caught under the pedals:
- only use mats suited to the ixings already present in the
vehicle. It is imperative that
these ixings are used.
- never it one mat on top of another. - Clean off bird drop-
pings, resinous depos -
its, tar stains and grease
marks as soon as pos-
sible; (these all contain
substances which can
cause serious damage
to the paintwork).
- Do not use a dry or abrasive cloth or detergent or solvent
products to clean the double
lens, complex surface head -
lamps as they are itted with
polycarbonate glass covered
in a protective inish.
- Do not use petrol, oil or cloth stain removers to clean the
bodywork and plastic parts of
your vehicle.
- To prevent the development of bodywork corrosion as a result
of accidental damage (stone
chips, scratches, etc.) have
them repaired swiftly.
BODYWORK MAINTENANCE
To preserve the paintwork and the
plastic trim on your vehicle, we recom -
mend that you wash them regularly.
- by hand: there are no speciic precautions to take;
- using an automatic car wash: re -
peated use of poorly maintained
automatic car washes can lead
to the appearance of microscopic
scratches which give the paint -
work a matt appearance (espe -
cially visible on dark colours);
- using a high pressure washer: always follow the recommenda -
tions on the equipment (pres-
sure and spraying distance).
If there are damaged areas on the
vehicle (painted bumpers or head-
lamps), it is not recommended to
direct the high pressure jet onto
them. Wash these areas by hand.
Also avoid the entry of water into
the locks.
For all questions relating to the main-
tenance of your vehicle, contact an
approved dealer who can advise you
on quality products selected by our
departments.
