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.
From the front or the rear

TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT, etc.
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars that have been
tested and approved from the design
stage of your vehicle and that the
fitting of the towbar is entrusted to a
PEUGEOT dealer.
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 significant
stress and its driver must be
particularly careful.
Air density decreases with altitude,
thus reducing engine performance.
Above 1000 metres, the maximum
towing load must be reduced by 10%
and so on for every 1000 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 approaches
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
coolant temperature.
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 pressures.
Braking:
Towing increases the braking dis-
tance.
Lights:
Check the electrical signalling on the
trailer.
Side wind:
Take into acount the increased
sensitivity to side wind.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE
To preserve the paintwork and the
plastic trim on your vehicle, we
recommend that you wash them
regularly.
- by hand: there are no specificprecautions to take;
- using an automatic car wash: repeated use of poorly maintained
automatic car washes can lead
to the appearance of microscopic
scratches which give the paintwork
a matt appearance (especially
visible on dark colours);
- using a high pressure washer: always follow the recommendations
on the equipment (pressure and
spraying distance).
If there are damaged areas on the vehicle (painted bumpers or
headlamps), 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
maintenance of your vehicle, contact
an approved dealer who can advise
you on quality products selected by
our departments. - 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 headlamps as they are
fitted with polycarbonate glass
covered in a protective finish.
- 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.

Manual closing of the roof
(emergency mode)
In the event of
an electric or hydraulic
malfunction of the roof, it is possible
to close this manually.
This is an emergency solution .
If at all possible, have this

You will find below the instructions
which enable the professionals to
carry out this operation.
 Park the vehicle on level ground.
 Lower the windows.
 Switch off the ignition.
 Take the key out of the ignition.
 Apply the handbrake.
 Open the boot lid.
The roof closing operation
requires extreme caution.
Take care not to pinch
your hands in the
mechanisms.
This operation requires
considerable physical force and
may result in serious injury.
Two people are needed to carry
out this operation.
Take all necessary precautions
(gloves, ...).
 Unhook the screen 1 and release
it while holding it steady.
 Take the Allen key out of the repair
aerosols insulated box 2.
 Push the Allen key 3 firmly into the
pressure release screw 4, then
unscrew it a quarter turn to the
left.
 Remove and keep hold of the
key.

roof control button;
 when the roof control button has
been pressed for six seconds,
the roof closes; the end of the
operation is indicated by an
audible signal;
 lock the roof using the two hooks
11 .
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to have
the system checked.
