PRACTICAL INFORMATION
The batteries contain harmful
substances 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 bat-
teries and vehicle batteries to a
special collection point.

Charging the battery using a
battery charger


)
Disconnect the battery from the ve-
hicle.

)
Remove the battery and place it in a
ventilated area.

)
Remove the top-up caps and top up
the level with distilled water if nec-
essary.

)
Connect the battery to the charger
observing the instructions for use
provided by the manufacturer and
start charging.

)
Disconnect the battery from the
charger and let it to cool.

)
If necessary, top up the level with
distilled water.

)
Clean the top of the battery care-
fully.

)
Put the top-up caps back in place.

)
Check that the terminals and con-
nectors are clean. If they are cov-
ered with sulphate (whitish or
greenish deposit), remove them
and clean them.

)
Reconnect the battery starting with
the positive terminal (+). It is advisable to disconnect the
battery if the vehicle is to be left un-
used for more than one month.
Do not disconnect the terminals
while the engine is running.
Do not charge the batteries with-
out disconnecting the terminals
fi rst.
Avoid prolonged contact of the
electrolyte with the skin.
Most of these fl uids are harmful
to health and very corrosive. When charging the battery, it is
normal to observe an increase
in temperature and bubbling of
the electrolyte.
Before disconnecting the battery
Wait 2 minutes after switching off the igni-
tion before disconnecting the battery.
Close the windows, the sunroof, the
doors and the tailgate before discon-
necting the battery.

Following reconnection of the
battery
Following reconnection of the battery,
switch on the ignition and wait 1 minute
before starting to permit initialisation of
the electronic systems. However, if slight
diffi culties are encountered following this
operation, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section,
you must yourself reinitialise:


- the one-touch electric windows,

- the sunroof,

- the satellite navigation system.

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.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
FITTING ROOF BARS
Maximum authorised weight
on the roof bars, for a loading
height not exceeding 40 cm
(except bicycle carriers): 80 kg.
If the height exceeds 40 cm,
adapt the speed of the vehicle
to the condition of the road, to
avoid damaging the roof bars
and the fi xings on the roof.
Please refer to national leg-
islation to comply with the
regulations regarding the trans-
portation of objects which are
longer than the vehicle. Consult a PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop for the installation of lon-
gitudinal roof bars.
When fi tting transverse roof bars, en-
sure that they are positioned correctly
as shown by marks on the longitudinal
roof bars. Use accessories recommended by
PEUGEOT and follow the accessory
manufacturer's fi tting instructions.
In order to place a load on the roof, your
vehicle must be fi tted with longitudinal
roof bars with transverse roof bars fi tted
on top of these.
The longitudinal roof bars cannot be re-
moved.

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.
