COMFORT
For even air distribution, take care not
to obstruct the exterior air intake grille
located at the bottom of the windscreen,
the vents, the air outlets under the front
seats and the air extractor located be-
hind the fl aps in the boot.
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load on a
steep gradient in hot weather), cutting
off the air conditioning permits recovery
of the engine power and therefore im-
provement of the towing capacity.
Close the windows to benefi t from the
full effectiveness of the air conditioning.
Ensure that the passenger compart-
ment fi lter is in good condition. Have
the fi lter elements replaced periodically.
If you drive in a dusty environment, re-
place it twice as often.
The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and is not harmful to
the ozone layer.
Operate the air conditioning system for
5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a month,
to keep it in perfect working order. The water formed by the air condition-
ing condensation is discharged via
an opening provided for this purpose.
Therefore, a puddle of water may form
underneath the vehicle when stationary.
If the system does not produce cold air,
do not use it and contact your PEUGEOT
dealer.

1. Centre panel vents.

2. Temperature sensor.

3. Air outlet to passenger footwells.

4. Side vents.

5. Front windows de-icing or demisting
vents.

6. Windscreen de-icing or demisting
vents.

7. Sunshine sensor. AUTOMATIC REGULATION OF TIC REGULATION OF
THE AIR CONDITIONING
Use of the automatic regulation of the
air conditioning is recommended. It per-
mits automatic and optimised control of
all of the following functions: air fl ow,
passenger compartment temperature
and air distribution, by means of vari-
ous sensors (exterior temperature,
interior temperature, sunshine), so
preventing the need for you to change
your reference settings other than the
value displayed.
Do not cover the temperature and hu-
midity sensor 2 and the sunshine sen-
sor 7 .
They are required for regulation of the
air conditioning.
Advice on operation
In hot weather, in order to obtain
intense ventilation, it is advis-
able to use vents 1 and 4 only.
If, when the vehicle has been
parked in the sun for a long
time, the interior temperature re-
mains very high, do not hesitate
to ventilate the passenger com-
partment for a few minutes. Switch off the air conditioning
when the climatic conditions
permit.

12 volt socket (120 W max)
This operates when the ignition switch
is in the "ON" or "ACC" position.
Lift the cover to gain access to the
socket. Check that the electrical equip-
ment operates with 12 volts and
that its maximum electrical pow-
er is 120 W.
The prolonged use of electrical
equipment without running the
engine may discharge the bat-
tery.
Stowing rings
There are four stowing rings in the boot
for securing luggage:
- two rings are located on the boot
fl oor,
- two rings are located on the rear side pillars.

4. Removable towing eye.
Refer to the "Towing" paragraph.
Access to the tools
Wheel with trim
When changing a wheel, ensure
that the four wheels are of identi-
cal specifi cation and brand.
When removing the wheel , remove
the trim fi rst using the handle 3 , pulling
at the notch.

When refi tting the wheel , refi t the trim
starting by placing its notch F (indicated
on the back of the trim) opposite the
valve G and press on its periphery with
the palm of your hand.
When storing, take care to se-
cure the tool bag D fi rmly using
the fi xing band C .

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
TOWING TOWING
Operating procedure for having your
vehicle towed on a fl atbed or for tow-
ing another vehicle using a removable
mechanical device.
Access to the tools Having your vehicle towed
on a flatbed

 Below the front bumper, install the
towing system on the towing eye 1 .
 On the rear bumper, remove the
cover by pulling at the bottom using
the jack handle 2 .
Towing another vehicle
The towing eye and the tools are stored
in the storage compartment in the right-
hand boot trim.
To can access to them:

 open the boot,

 turn button A to the left,

 remove the cover B ,

 remove the fi xing band C and take
out the tool bag D containing the
tools,

 take the towing eye and the tools re-
quired out of the tool bag.
When being towed with the en-
gine off, there is no longer any
braking or steering assistance.
Place the gear lever in neutral.

Always have the vehicle towed
on a fl atbed.
Never have the vehicle towed
with the four wheels on the
ground, this could damage the
transmission.
The vehicle must not be towed
with the front or rear wheels on
the ground even if it is in front
"2WD" (2 wheel drive) mode.
 Screw in the towing eye fully using
the wheelbrace 3 .

 Install the towbar.

 Switch on the hazard warning lights

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN,
ETC.
Towbar suited to the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional signal-
ling and lighting.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer. 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.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towing
load must be reduced by 10 % of the
GTW 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. 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.
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.
 If this message is
displayed, stop your
vehicle as soon as it
is safe to do so.
If the message fl ashes slowly, wait for
the engine to cool before topping up the
level, if necessary.
If the message fl ashes rapidly, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer without delay.
Opening of the lower tailgate is
prohibited if a towbar is being
used.
Driving with a trailer subjects the towing
vehicle to more signifi cant stress and
its driver must be particularly careful.
We recommend the use of origi-
nal 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 towbar is not fi tted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is impera-
tive that it is fi tted using the
electrical pre-equipment located
at the rear of the vehicle and in
accordance with the manufac-
turer’s instructions.

TECHNICAL DATA
WEIGHTS AND TOWED LOADS (IN KG) WEIGHTS
* The kerb weight is equal to the weight without load + driver (75 kg).
** The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (10 0 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
*** The braked trailer value corresponds to the towing ca pacities of the vehicle on a 12 % gradient.
High exterior temperatures may result in a reduction in the perf ormance of the vehicle in order to protect the engine; when
the exterior temperature is higher than 37 °C, limit the tow ed weight to 600 kg, without load transfer.
