PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Let the engine run for the duration
specifi ed to ensure that the battery
charge is suffi cient.
Do not repeatedly and continu-
ously restart the engine in order to
charge the battery.
A fl at battery prevents the engine
from starting (refer to the "Battery"
paragraph).
If the telephone is being used at
this time:
-
it will be maintained for 5 minu tes with the hands-free kit of your
Peugeot Connect Sound or
Peugeot Connect Navigation,
- it will still be possible to fi nish the call with the Peugeot Connect
Media.
ENERGY ECONOMY MODE
System which manages the duration of
use of certain functions to conserve a
suffi cient level of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can
still use functions such as the audio and
telematics system, windscreen wipers,
dipped beam headlamps, courtesy
lamps, 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 less than ten minutes, to use the equipment for approximately
fi ve minutes,
- for more than ten minutes, to use the equipment for up to approxi-
mately thirty minutes.
Switching to economy mode
Once the thirty minutes are over, a
message appears in the multifunction
screen indicating that the vehicle has
switched to economy mode and the ac-
tive functions are put on standby.
CHANGING A WIPER BLADE
Removing

 Raise the corresponding wiper arm.

 Unclip the wiper blade and remove it.
Fitting

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

 Fold down the wiper arm carefully.
Before removing a front wiper
blade

 Within one minute after switching off
the ignition, operate the wiper stalk
to position the wiper blades verti-
cally on the windscreen.
After fitting a front wiper blade

 Switch on the ignition.

 Operate the wiper stalk again to
park the wiper blades.
LOAD REDUCTION MODE
System which manages the use of
certain functions in relation to the level
of charge remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the
load reduction function temporarily de-
activates certain functions, such as
the air conditioning, the "AIRWAVE"
systems, the heated rear screen...
Certain deactivated functions are reac-
tivated automatically as soon as condi-
tions permit.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
TOWING THE VEHICLE
Procedure for having your vehicle towed
or for towing another vehicle using a
removable 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 towing bar.

 Place the gear lever in neutral (posi-
tion N on the automatic gearbox).
The towing eye is installed in the boot
under the fl oor.
For access to it:

 change to the "coupé" confi guration,

 open the boot,

 raise the fl oor,

 secure it by hooking its handle on
the boot seal,

 remove the towing eye from the
holder. General recommendations

 Release the steering by turning the
ignition key one position and release
the parking brake.

 Switch on the hazard warning lamps
on the towed vehicle.

 Move off gently and drive slowly for
a limited distance. Failure to observe this special
condition could result in damage
to certain components (braking,
transmission...) and the absence
of braking assistance the next time
the engine is started.
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 assistance for braking or
steering.
In the following cases, you must
always call on a professional reco-
very service:
- vehicle broken down on a motor-
way 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. 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.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for
details of the weights and towed loads
which apply to your vehicle.
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.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional lighting
and signalling.
Driving advice
We recommend the use of genuine
PEUGEOT towbars and their har-
nesses that have been tested and
approved from the design stage
of your vehicle, and that the fi t-
ting of the towbar is entrusted to a
PEUGEOT dealer.
If the trailer is not fi tted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative
that it is fi tted using the vehicle's
electrical pre-equipment, in accor-
dance with the manufacturer's in-
structions. Driving with a trailer subjects the towing
vehicle to more signifi cant stress and
the driver must take particular care.

 On the rear 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 both vehicles.

 Move off gently and drive slowly for
a limited distance.
