To start the vehicle from another
battery:
-
Connect the red cable to the posi-
tive (+) terminals of the two batteries,
- Connect one end of the green or black cable to the negative (-)
terminal of the slave battery,
- Connect the other end of the green or black cable to an earth point on
the broken down vehicle as far as
possible from the battery,
- Operate the starter, let the engine run,
- Wait for the engine to return to idle, then disconnect the cables.
BATTERY (LOCATED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT)

given by the battery charger
manufacturer,
- Reconnect starting with the nega- tive (-) terminal,
- Check that the terminals and connectors are clean. If they are
covered with sulphate (white or

To start the vehicle from another
battery: BATTERY (LOCATED IN THE BOOT) *
* Vehicles fi tted with the 2.7 litre HDI
24 V 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 manufacturer,

 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 connect a slave battery to the
positive (+) and negative (-) termi-
nals 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.
At the front and at the rear:

 Unclip the cover,

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

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 transporting objects which are
longer than the vehicle.
When fi tting transverse roof bars, ensure
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 manufactur-
er's fi tting instructions. Maximum authorised weight
on the roof bars, for a loading
height not exceeding 40 cm (except bicycle 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 harnesses
which have been tested and approved
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.
