PRACTICAL INFORMATION

Do not disconnect the terminals
while the engine is running.
Do not charge the batteries without
disconnecting the terminals i rst.
The batteries contain harmful sub-
stances such as sulphuric acid and
lead. They must be disposed of in
accordance with regulations and
must not, in any circumstances, be
discarded with household waste.
Take used remote control batteries
and vehicle batteries to a special
collection point.
Charging the battery using a
battery charger

 Disconnect the battery from the ve-
hicle.

 Follow the instructions for use pro-
vided by the manufacturer of the
charger.

 Reconnect starting with the nega-
tive terminal (-).

 Check that the terminals and connec-
tors are clean. If they are covered with
sulphate (whitish or greenish deposit),
remove them and clean them.
At the risk of discharging the bat-
tery, the deactivated functions can
be reactivated manually. System which manages the use of cer-
tain functions in relation to the level of
charge remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the
load reduction function temporarily deac-
tivates certain functions, such as the air
conditioning, the rear screen de-icing...
The deactivated functions are reactivat-
ed automatically as soon as conditions
permit.
It is advisable to disconnect the
battery if the vehicle is to be left un-
used for more than one month. Before disconnecting the
battery
Wait 2 minutes after switching off
the ignition before disconnecting
the battery.
Close the windows, the retractable
roof and the doors before discon-
necting the battery.
Following reconnection of the
battery
Following reconnection of the bat-
tery, switch on the ignition and wait
1 minute before starting to permit
initialisation of the electronic sys-
tems. However, if slight difi culties
are encountered following this oper-
ation, contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Referring to the corresponding sec-
tion, you must yourself reinitialise:
- the remote control key,
- the electric windows and the
automatic partial opening of the
door windows,
- the GPS satellite navigation system.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

A l at battery prevents the engine
from starting (refer to the corre-
sponding paragraph).
If the telephone is being used at
this time, it will still be possible to
i nish the call with the RT4 GPS au-
dio/telephone.
If a roof manoeuvre is in progress,
it will be completed, but no further
operation is possible.
ENERGY ECONOMY MODE
System which manages the duration of
use of certain functions to conserve a
sufi cient level of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can
still use functions such as the audio
equipment, windscreen wipers, dipped
headlamps, courtesy light, etc. for a
maximum combined duration of thirty
minutes. Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated auto-
matically next time the vehicle is driven.

 In order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, start the en-
gine and let it 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 period
will always be between i ve and thirty
minutes.
Switching to economy mode
Once the thirty minutes are over, a
message appears on the multifunction
display indicating that the vehicle has
switched to economy mode and the ac-
tive functions are put on standby.
CHANGING A WIPER BLADE
Procedure for replacing a worn wiper
blade with a new one without the use
of tools.
Removing a front wiper blade

 Raise the corresponding wiper arm.

 Unclip the wiper blade and remove
it.
Fitting a front wiper blade

 Check the size of the wiper blade
as the shorter blade is i tted on the
right-hand side of the vehicle.

 Put the corresponding new wiper
blade in place and clip it.

 Fold down the wiper arm carefully.

TOWING THE VEHICLE
Procedure for having your vehicle towed
or for towing another vehicle using a re-
movable towing eye.
Access to the tools Towing your vehicle

 On the front bumper, unclip the
cover by pressing at the bottom.

 Screw the towing eye in fully.

 Install the towbar.

 Switch on the hazard warning lights
on the towed vehicle.
 On the rear bumper, unclip the
cover by pressing at the bottom.

 Screw the towing eye in fully.

 Install the towbar.

 Switch on the hazard warning lights
on the towed vehicle.
Towing another vehicle
The towing eye is installed in a holder at
the bottom of the boot under the l oor.
To gain access to it:

 place the vehicle in "coupé" coni gu-
ration,

 open the boot,

 raise the l oor,

 remove the towing eye from the
holder.
When towing with all four wheels on
the ground, always use a towbar.
When towing with only two wheels
on the ground, always use profes-
sional lifting equipment.
When towing with the engine off,
there is no longer any braking or
steering assistance.

 Place the gear lever in neutral
(position N on the automatic
gearbox).
Failure to observe this specii c in-
struction may result in damage to
certain braking units and the ab-
sence of braking assistance when
the engine is restarted.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
133
TOWING A TRAILER,
A CARAVAN, ETC.
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 signii cant stress and its
driver must be particularly careful.
The maximum towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and the
outside temperature.
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.
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.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for
details of the weights and towing loads
which apply to your vehicle.
Side wind

 Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind.
 If the warning light and the

STOP warning light come
on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as
soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
Tyres

 Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures
.
The rear parking assistance will be
deactivated automatically if a gen-
uine PEUGEOT towbar is used.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
Towbar suited to the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional signal-
ling and lighting.
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 i tting of the
towbar is entrusted to a PEUGEOT
dealer.
If the trailer is not i tted by a PEUGEOT
dealer, it is imperative that it is i tted
using the electrical pre-equipment
installed at the rear of the vehicle, in
accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Driving advice
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.

 To lower the engine speed, reduce
your speed. Lights

 Check the electrical signalling on
the trailer.

ROOF EMERGENCY MODE
Operating procedure for manual closing
of the roof in the event of an electrical or
hydraulic malfunction of the system. Following these checks and a fur-
ther roof manoeuvre command,
if the problem persists, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer to have the sys-
tem checked. The tool, provided in the glove box, is a
size 6 Allen TM key.
If the opening or closing of the roof does
not start or does not function correctly,
check that all of the conditions below
are met:

 the vehicle is stationary,

 the ignition is on,

 the screen is pulled,

 the boot is closed,

 the roof fuse is in good condition,

 the battery voltage is sufi cient,

 the vehicle is not in energy economy
mode,

 the electric windows are initialised,

 the exterior temperature is higher
than -15 °C.
Otherwise, refer to the corresponding
section to rectify the problem.
During the roof closing manoeuvre,
take care:
- not to trap your hands in the mechanisms,
- that there is no one in the vicin- ity of the moving parts, to avoid
any risk of injury.

This operation is a breakdown solu-
tion. It is intended to permit manual
closing of the roof so that you can
drive to a PEUGEOT dealership.
Two people are required to carry out
this procedure. Access to the tool
Preparation for the emergency
procedure

 Park the vehicle on level ground, if
possible.

 Lower all of the windows.

 Switch off the ignition.

 Apply the handbrake.

 Remove the remote control key from
the starter.
