53ACCESS and STARTING
-
OPENING THE BONNET

Inside the vehicle:
pull the lever on
the left-hand side, under the dash-
board.

Outside the vehicle:
lift the safety
catch and raise the bonnet.
BONNET STAY

Secure the stay to hold the bonnet
open.
Before closing the bonnet, return the
stay to its housing.

FILLING WITH FUEL

When the minimum
fuel level in the tank is
reached, this warning
light comes on. When the cap is removed,
the right-hand sliding side
door cannot be opened.
The key cannot be removed
from the lock until the cap
has been replaced on the
fuel tank.
A label reminds you which type of
fuel to use.
When you fi ll your tank, do not con-
tinue after the third cut-off of the
pump. This could cause your vehicle
to malfunction.
To close
Lower the bonnet and release it at
the end of its travel.
Check that the bonnet has latched
correctly.

Low fuel level
You have enough fuel remaining
to drive for approximately 30 miles
(50 km).

The engine must be switched off

when fi lling with fuel.


)
Insert the key then turn it to the left.

)
Remove the cap.

The capacity of the tank is approx-
imately 55 litres for petrol engines
and 60 litres for Diesel engines.



)
After fi lling the tank, lock the cap. When the engine is hot, take
care when handling the safe-
ty catch and the bonnet stay
(risk of burns).

ECONOMY MODE FUNCTION
After the engine has stopped, with
the key in the "accessories" position,
certain functions (windscreen wiper,
electric windows, courtesy lights,
audio equipment, etc.) can only be
used for a combined duration of ap-
proximately 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 auto-
matically 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
double the duration for which the en-
gine is left running. However, this pe-
riod will always be between fi ve and
thirty minutes.
BATTERY

It is advisable to disconnect the
battery if the vehicle is not to be
used for a period of more than
one month.


Before disconnecting the bat-
tery, you must wait 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.
Close the windows and the roof be-
fore disconnecting the battery.
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. If
slight diffi culties are experienced af-
ter this, please contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.

A fl at battery prevents the
engine from starting.
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 (-) 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 (for exam-
ple, right-hand engine mounting).
Operate the starter, let the engine run.
Wait for the engine to return to idle,
then disconnect the cables.

To charge the battery using
a battery charger:


- Disconnect the battery,

- Follow the instructions for use
given by the battery charger man-
ufacturer,

- Reconnect starting with the nega-
tive (-) terminal,

- Check that the terminals and
connectors are clean. If they are
covered with sulphate (white or
greenish deposit), disconnect
them and clean them.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

TOWING A TRAILER,CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC.
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars and their har-
nesses 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.
If the towbar is not fi tted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative
that it is fi tted using the electrical pre-
equipment installed at the rear of the
vehicle, in accordance with the manu-
facturer's instructions.
Your vehicle is primarily designed
for transporting people and luggage
but it may also be used for towing a
trailer.
Driving with a trailer subjects the tow-
ing vehicle to more signifi cant stress
and its driver must be particularly
careful.
Air density decreases with altitude,
thus reducing engine performance.
Above 1 000 metres, the maximum
towing load must be reduced by 10 %
and so on for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.

Driving advice


Tyres:
Check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle and of the trailer, ob-
serving the recommended pressures.

Braking:
Towing increases the braking
distance.

Lights:
Check the electrical signalling
on the trailer.

Side wind:
Take into account the in-
creased 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.
On the contrary, use a high gear to
lower the engine speed and reduce
your speed.
The maximum towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and
the outside temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the cool-
ant temperature.
In certain cases of particularly ardu-
ous use (towing the maximum load
on a steep gradient in high tempera-
tures), switching off the air condition-
ing permits the recovery of engine
power and therefore an increase in
the towing capacity.
If the warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
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 approach-
es the maximum permitted without
exceeding it.
