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. The water formed by the air conditioning
condensation is discharged via an open-
ing 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 have it checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
AUTOMATIC REGULATION OF ON OF
THE DIGITAL AIR CONDITIONING

Do not cover the temperature and
humidity sensor 2
and the sunshine
sensor 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 remains
very high, fi rst ventilate the pas-
senger compartment for a few
minutes.
Switch off the air conditioning when
the climatic conditions permit.

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 various
sensors (ambient temperature, interior
temperature, sunshine), so preventing
the need for you to change your set-
tings other than the value displayed. In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load on a
steep gradient in hot weather), switch-
ing off the air conditioning saves engine
power and therefore improves the tow-
ing 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 good working order.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
TOWINWING

Access to the tools

Having your vehicle towed
on a flatbed


)
Below the front bumper, install the
towing system on the towing eye 1
. The towing eye and the tools are stored
in the storage compartment in the right-
hand boot trim.
To gain 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.
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.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

Towing another vehicle



)
On the rear bumper, remove the
cover by pulling at the bottom using
the jack handle 2
.

)
Screw in the towing eye fully using
the wheelbrace 3
.

)
Install the towbar.

)
Switch on the hazard warning lamps
on the towed vehicle.
When being towed with the en-
gine off, there is no longer any
braking or steering assistance.


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
assistance 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, CARAVAN, WING A TRAILER, CARAVA
ETC.
Driving advice

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 tow-
ing vehicle and of the trailer, observ-
ing the recommended pressures.


Lighting


)
Check the lighting and signalling on
the trailer.

)
If this message is dis-
played, stop your ve-
hicle 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 or a qualifi ed work-
shop without delay.
Opening of the lower tailgate is
prohibited if a towbar is being
used.
We recommend the use of gen-
uine 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 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.
Driving with a trailer subjects the
towing vehicle to more signifi -
cant stress and its driver must
be particularly careful.


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 % 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.

TECHNICAL DATA
WEIGHTS AND TOWED LOADS (IN KG)ADS (IN KG)

*
The kerb weight is equal to the weight without load + driver (75 kg).

**
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).

***
The braked trailer value corresponds to the towing capacities of the vehicle on a 12 % gradient.
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the performance of the vehicle in order to protect the engine; reduce
the towed weight by 450 kg when your altitude increases by 1 000 m.
