The electrical system of your
vehicle is designed to ope-
rate with standard or optional
equipment.
Before installing other electrical equip-
ment or accessories on your vehicle,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
PEUGEOT will not accept responsi-
bility for the cost incurred in repairing
your vehicle or for rectifying the mal-
functions resulting from the installation
of accessories not supplied and not
recommended by PEUGEOT and not
installed in accordance with its instruc-
tions, in particular where the equip-
ment in question consumes more than
10 milliamperes.
The maxi-fuses provide additional
protection for the electrical systems.
All work must be carried out by a
PEUGEOT dealer. CHANGING A WINDSCREEN WIPER BLADE ECONOMY MODE FUNCTION
After the engine has stopped, certain
functions (audio equipment, wind-
screen wiper, electric windows, sun-
roof, electric seats, telephone, video,
etc) are only supplied with power for
approximately thirty minutes, to prevent
complete discharging of the battery.
Once the thirty minutes are over, a
message appears on the multi-func-
tion display and the active functions
are put on standby.
These functions are automatically re-
activated when the vehicle is started.
A fl at battery prevents the en-
gine from starting.
As winter approaches, have
your battery checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
If the telephone is being used
when economy mode starts,
it will still be possible to fi nish
the call.
Placing the wiper blades in the
maintenance position


Less than one minute after switching
off the ignition, press the windscreen
wiper stalk down once to position the
blades at the top of the windscreen

To start the vehicle from another
battery: BATTERY(LOCATED IN THE BOOT) *
* Vehicles fi tted with the 2.7 litre HDI
24V engine.
The battery is in the left boot trim.

To charge the battery using a bat-
tery charger (boot open):

 fold down the panel to gain access
to the battery,

 disconnect the battery,

 follow the instructions for use given
by the battery charger manufac-
turer,

 reconnect starting with the nega-
tive (-) terminal,

 raise the panel and close it.
 open the bonnet,

 use the two additional positive (+)
and negative (-) terminals located
under the bonnet,

 open the red cover of the positive
(+) terminal,


connect the red cable between the
positive (+) terminal and the positive
(+) terminal of the slave battery,

 connect the green or black cable
between the negative (-) terminal
and the negative (-) terminal of the
slave battery,

 operate the starter, let the engine
run,

 wait for the engine to return to idle,
then disconnect the cables,

 close the red cover of the positive
(+) terminal,

 refi t the left side cover,

 close the bonnet. Before disconnecting the bat-
tery, you must wait for 2 minutes
after switching off the ignition.
Never disconnect a terminal
when the engine is running.
Never charge a battery without fi rst
disconnecting the terminals.
Open the windows and close the sun-
roof before disconnecting the battery.
If they do not operate normally follow-
ing reconnection of the battery, they
must be reinitialised (see paragraphs
"Reinitialisation of the electric win-
dows" and "Sunroof").
After every reconnection of the bat-
tery, switch on the ignition and wait
1 minute before starting to allow the
electronic systems to be initialised.
However, if slight diffi culties are ex-
perienced after this, please contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.

On the 2.7 litre 24V HDI engine, if there
is no battery in the boot, do not con-
nect a slave battery to the positive (+)
and negative (-) terminals under the
bonnet as a short circuit may occur.
The batteries contain harmful
substances such as sulphu-
ric acid and lead. They must
be disposed of in accordance
with regulations and must never be
discarded with household waste.
Take used batteries to an approved
collection point.

Without lifting (4 wheels on the ground)
You must always use a towbar.
The removable towing eye is inside the spare wheel.
From the front:

 Unclip the cover, by pressing the
bottom part,

 Screw in the towing eye as far as it
will go. Place the gear lever in neutral (po-
sition N in the case of the automatic
gearbox).
Failure to observe this special require-
ment may lead to the destruction of
certain braking units and the absence
of braking assistance when the engine
is re-started.
TOWING YOUR VEHICLE
Towing a vehicle with an auto-
matic gearbox in reverse gear
is prohibited (absence of lubri-
cation).
When towing with four wheels on the
ground, the following rules must be
obeyed:
- lever in position N ,
- tow the vehicle at less than 30 mph (50 km/h) over a maximum dis-
tance of 30 miles (50 km).
- do not add oil to the gearbox.
From the rear:

 Unclip the cover,

 Screw in the towing eye as far as it
will go. Special features of the
automatic gearbox
Lifting
(2 wheels only on the ground)
It is preferable to raise the vehicle with
a professional lifting device. When towing with the engine
switched off, there is no brak-
ing or steering assistance.

FITTING ROOF BARS (SALOON)
When fi tting transverse roof bars, use
the four quick-fi t fi xings provided for
this purpose. Lift the concealing fl aps
and adjust the roof bar quick-fi t fi xings. Maximum authorised weight
on the roof rack, for a loading
height not exceeding 40 cm
(with the exception of bicycle
carriers): 80 kg.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the
speed of the vehicle to the profi le of the
road to avoid damaging the roof bars
and the fi xings on the roof. Be sure to
refer to national legislation in order to
comply with the regulations for trans-
porting objects which are longer than
the vehicle.
When fi tting transverse roof bars, en-
sure that they are positioned correctly.
The correct positions are shown by
marks on each of the longitudinal
bars.
Use accessories approved by PEUGEOT
and follow the manufacturer's fi tting in-
structions.
Maximum authorised weight on
the roof bars, for a loading height
not exceeding 40 cm (except bi-
cycle carriers): 100 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.
Please refer to national legislation to
comply with the regulations regarding
the transportation of objects which are
longer than the vehicle.

In all cases, pay attention to the cool-
ant temperature. Lighting TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars and their harness-
es which have been tested and ap-
proved from the design stage of your
vehicle and that you entrust the fi tting
of the towbar to a PEUGEOT dealer.
If the towbar is not fi tted by a PEUGEOT
dealer, it is imperative that it is fi tted us-
ing the electrical pre-equipment installed
at the rear of the vehicle, in accordance
with the manufacturer's instructions.
Driving advice

Distribution of loads: distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heavi-
est loads are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight is close
to the maximum authorised without,
however, exceeding it.

Cooling: towing a trailer on a slope in-
creases the coolant temperature.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.
In the case of vehicles fi tted with an
HDI engine, it is advisable, following
intensive use (towing on a motorway,
prolonged driving, ...), to leave the en-
gine running at idle for approximately
20 seconds before switching off the ig-
nition. This limits any increase in the
temperature of the engine after it has
been switched off.
Note: in certain cases of par-
ticularly arduous use (towing
the maximum load in high
temperatures on a steep
slope), the engine automatically lim-
its its power and selects the appropri-
ate automatic gearbox gear in manual
mode. In this case, cutting off the air
conditioning allows the engine power
to be recovered, and therefore the
towing capacity to be increased.
If the coolant temperature
warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the
engine as soon as possible.

Tyres: check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (label on the central
door pillar on the driver's side) and of
the trailer towed, observing the recom-
mended pressure.

Brakes: towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake gradu-
ally.

Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed. Manual adjustment
Adjust your headlamps so as not to
dazzle other road users. Check the
electrical signalling of the trailer.
