PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Do not disconnect the terminals
while the engine is running.
Do not charge the batteries without
disconnecting the terminals fi 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 vehicle.

 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
connectors 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.
LOAD REDUCTION MODE
System which manages the use of certain
functions in relation to the level of charge re-
maining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates
certain functions, such as the air condi-
tioning, the neck heaters, the rear screen
de-icing...
The deactivated functions are reactivated
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 roof, the windows and
the doors before disconnecting 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 diffi 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 fl at battery prevents the engine
from starting (refer to the corre-
sponding paragraph).
If the telephone is being used at
this time:
- it will be maintained for 5 minutes with the WIP Sound or WIP Nav
hands-free kit,
- it will still be possible to fi nish the call with the WIP Com 3D.
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 headlamps, courtesy lights, 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 on the multi-
function display indicating that the vehi-
cle has switched to economy mode and
the active 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 fi 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.
Before removing a front wiper
blade

 Within one minute after switching off
the ignition, operate the wipers stalk
to position the wiper blades in the
centre of the windscreen.
After fitting a front wiper blade

 Switch on the ignition.

 Operate the wipers stalk again to
park the wiper blades.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
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 cov-
er 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 the boot
under the fl oor.
To gain 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. 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 special
condition could result in damage
to certain braking components and
the absence of braking assistance
the next time the engine is started.

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 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. In all cases, pay attention to 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.
Tyres

 Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lights

 Check the electrical signalling on
the trailer.
The rear parking assistance will
be deactivated automatically if
a genuine PEUGEOT towbar is
used.
 If the warning light and the

STOP warning light come
on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as
soon as possible.
Towbar suited to the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional signal-
ling and lighting.
Driving advice
We recommend the use of original
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.
If the trailer is not fi tted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative
that it is fi tted using the electrical
pre-equipment installed at the rear
of the vehicle, in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions. Driving with a trailer subjects the towing
vehicle to more signifi 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.
