CHANGING A WINDSCREEN
WIPER BLADE
Placing the wiper blades in the
maintenance position
 Less than one minute after switch-
ing off the ignition, press the wind-
screen wiper stalk down once to
position the blades at the top of
the windscreen (maintenance po-
sition).
Replacing a blade
 Lift the arm, then unclip the blade
and remove it.
 Fit the new blade and fold down
the arm.
To reposition the blades, switch on
the ignition and operate the wind-
screen wiper stalk.
ECONOMY MODE FUNCTION
After the engine has stopped, certain
functions (windscreen wiper, elec-
tric windows, sunroof, electric seats,
audio equipment, telephone, interior
boot light, etc) can only be used for a
combined duration of approximately
thirty minutes, to prevent discharging
the battery.
Once the thirty minutes are over, a
switching to economy mode mes-
sage appears on the multi-function
display and the active functions are
put on standby.
These functions are reactivated
automatically next time the vehicle is
driven.
In order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, the engine
must be started and left to run for a
few minutes.
The time available to you will then be
approximately double the duration
for which the engine is left running.
However, this period will always be
between five and thirty minutes.
LOAD REDUCTION
FUNCTION
When driving, certain functions (air
conditioning, heated rear screen,
heating system for passenger com-
partment of diesel vehicles, etc.) may
be switched off temporarily, depend-
ing on the level of battery charge.
Reactivation of these functions is
automatic, once the battery charge is
sufficient.
Note: at the risk of discharg-
ing the battery, the functions
that have been switched off
may be reactivated manually.
Note: if the telephone is be-
ing used when economy
mode starts, it will still be
possible to finish the call.
A flat battery prevents the
engine from starting.

115Practical information-
To charge the battery using a
battery charger:
- Disconnect the battery,
- Follow the instructions for use giv-en by the battery charger manufac-
turer,
- Reconnect starting with the nega- tive (-) terminal,
- Check that the terminals and con- nectors are clean. If they are cov-
ered with sulphate (white or greenish
deposit), disconnect them and clean
them. - 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)
To start the vehicle from another
battery:
 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,
 refit the left side cover,
 close the bonnet.
To start the vehicle from another
battery:
- Connect the red cable to the positive
(+) terminals of the two batteries,
- Connect one end of the green or black cable to the negative (-) ter-
minal 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,
It is advisable to disconnect the bat-
tery if the vehicle is not to be used for
a period of more than one month.
BATTERY (LOCATED IN THE
BOOT)*
The battery is in the left boot trim.
To charge the battery using a
battery charger (boot open):
 fold down the panel to gain ac-
cess to the battery,
 disconnect the battery,
 follow the instructions for use given
by the battery charger manufactur-
er,
 reconnect starting with the nega-
tive (-) terminal,
 raise the panel and close it.
* Vehicles fitted with the 2.7 litre HDI
24V engine.

Practical information116 -
Before disconnecting the
battery, 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 first
disconnecting the terminals.
Open the windows and close the
sunroof before disconnecting the bat-
tery. If they do not operate normally
following reconnection of the battery,
they must be reinitialised (see sec-
tions "Reinitialisation of the electric
windows" 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 difficulties are ex-
perienced after this, please contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not connect a slave battery to
the positive (+) and negative (-) ter-
minals, located under the bonnet,
if there is no battery in the boot as
a short circuit may occur (Diesel
engine).
TOWING YOUR VEHICLE
Without lifting (4 wheels on
the ground)
You must always use a towbar.
The removable towing eye is inside
the spare wheel.
From the rear:
 Unclip the cover, pulling the upper
rib towards you,
 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.
The batteries contain harm-
ful substances such as sul-
phuric acid and lead. They
must be disposed of in ac-
cordance with regulations and must
never be discarded with household
waste.
Take used batteries to an approved
collection point. When towing with the engine
switched off, there is no brak-
ing or steering assistance.
From the front:

Unclip the left part of the cover,
 Screw in the towing eye as far as
it will go. Towing a vehicle with an
automatic gearbox in reverse
gear is
prohibited (absence
of lubrication).
When being towed with all four
wheels on the ground, it is imperative
that the following rules are obeyed:
- selector lever in position N,
-
the vehicle must be towed at a speed
of less than 30 mph (50 km/h) over a
maximum distance of 30 miles (50 km),
- do not add oil to the gearbox.

117Practical information-
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant temperature.Brakes: towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake gradually.
Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed.
TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...
We recommend the use of origi-
nal PEUGEOT towbars which have
been tested and approved from the
design stage of your vehicle and that
the towbar is fitted by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Driving advice
Distribution of loads: distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heaviest
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
increases the coolant temperature.
As the fan is electrically controlled,
its cooling capacity is not dependent
on the engine speed. Note:
in certain cases of par-
ticularly arduous use (towing
the maximum load in high
temperatures), the engine
automatically limits its power and
selects the appropriate automatic
gearbox gear in manual mode. In
this case, cutting off the air condi-
tioning 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 cen-
tral door pillar on the driver’s side)
and of the trailer towed, observing
the recommended pressure.
