PRACTICAL INFORMATION
)
Remove the kit and screw the cap
back on the white pipe.
Take care to avoid staining your ve-
hicle with traces of fl uid. Keep the kit
to hand.
)
Drive immediately for approximate-
ly three miles (fi ve kilometres), at
reduced speed (between 15 and
35 mph [20 and 60 km/h]), to plug
the puncture.
)
Stop to check the repair and the tyre
pressure using the kit.
)
Switch on the compressor by moving
the switch B
to position "I"
until the
tyre pressure reaches 2.0 bars.
The sealant is injected into the tyre
under pressure; do not disconnect
the pipe from the valve during this
operation (risk of splashing).
If after around 5 to 7 minutes
the pressure is not attained, this
indicates that the tyre is not re-
pairable; contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop for assistance.
Tyre under-infl ation detection
If the vehicle is fi tted with tyre
under-infl ation detection, the
under-infl ation warning lamp will re-
main on after the wheel has been re-
paired until the system is reinitialised
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where
it does not block traffi c: the
ground must be level, stable and
non-slippery ground.
Apply the parking brake unless it
has been programmed to automatic
mode, switch off the ignition and en-
gage fi rst gear * to lock the wheels.
Check that the braking warning lamp
and the P
warning lamp on the park-
ing brake control come on.
If necessary, place a chock under the
wheel diagonally opposite the wheel
to be changed.
The occupants must get out of the ve-
hicle and wait where they are safe.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.
Removing a wheel
List of operations
)
Remove the bolt cover from each of
the bolts using the tool 3
(according
to equipment).
)
Fit the security socket 5
on the
wheelbrace 1
to slacken the security
bolt (if your vehicle has them).
)
Slacken the other bolts using the
wheelbrace 1
only.
)
Place the jack 2
in contact with one
of the two front A
or rear B
locations
provided on the underbody, which-
ever is closest to the wheel to be
changed.
)
Extend the jack 2
until its base plate
is in contact with the ground. Ensure
that the centreline of the jack base
plate is directly below the location A
or B
used.
)
Raise the vehicle until there is suf-
fi cient space between the wheel and
the ground to admit the spare (not
punctured) wheel easily.
)
Remove the bolts and store them in
a clean place.
)
Remove the wheel.

TOWING THE VEHICLE
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 towing bar.
)
Switch on the hazard warning lamps
on the towed vehicle.
The towing eye is installed in the boot
under the fl oor.
To gain access to it:
)
open the boot,
)
raise the fl oor,
)
secure it by hooking the cords on
the hooks on the rear parcel shelf
support,
)
remove the polystyrene box,
)

holder.
)
Place the gear lever in
neutral (position N
on
the electronic gear con-
trol gearbox or automatic
gearbox).
Failure to observe this special condi-

Towing another vehicle
General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in your
country.
Ensure that the weight of the towing
vehicle is higher than that of the towed
vehicle.
The driver must stay at the wheel of the
towed vehicle.
Driving on motorways and fast roads is
prohibited when towing.
When towing a vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground, always use an
approved towing bar; rope and straps
are prohibited.
When towing a vehicle with the engine
off, there is no longer any power assis-
tance for braking or steering. In the following cases, you must always
call on a professional recovery service:
- vehicle broken down on a motorway
or fast road,
- when it is not possible to put the
gearbox into neutral, unlock the
steering, or release the parking
brake,
- towing with only two wheels on the
ground,
- where there is no approved towing
bar available...

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
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 advice
The maximum towed load on a long in-
cline depends on the gradient and the
ambient temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
Side wind
)
Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind.
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.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a
long mountain type of descent, the use
of engine braking is recommended.
Tyres
)
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
)
Check the electrical lighting and sig-
nalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will
be deactivated automatically if
a genuine PEUGEOT towbar
is used.
)
If the warning lamp and the
STOP
warning lamp come
on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as
soon as possible.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional lighting
and signalling.
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 towed load
must be reduced by 10 % for every
1 000 metres of altitude. Driving with a trailer places greater de-
mands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.
We recommend the use of
genuine PEUGEOT towbars
and their harnesses 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 or a qualifi ed
workshop.
If the towbar is not fi tted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative
that it is fi tted in accordance with the
vehicle manufacturer's instructions. Refer to the "Technical Data"
section for details of the weights
and towed loads which apply to
your vehicle.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Installation of radio
communication
transmitters
Before installing any after-market ra-
dio communication transmitter, you
can contact a PEUGEOT dealer for
the specifi cation of transmitters which
can be fi tted (frequency, maximum
power, aerial position, specifi c instal-
lation requirements), in line with the
Vehicle Electromagnetic Compatibility
Directive (2004/104/EC).
*
To avoid any risk of jamming of the
pedals:
- ensure that the mat is positioned
and secured correctly,
- never fi t one mat on top of another.
ACCESSORIES
A wide range of accessories and genu-
ine parts is available from the PEUGEOT
dealer network.

Depending on the legislation
in force in the country, it may
be compulsory to have a high
visibility safety vest, warning triangle

ment or accessories which
are not recommended by
PEUGEOT may result in a failure of
your vehicle's electronic system and
