For more information about
weights and towed loads, refer to
chapter 9, "Weights" section.
TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...
Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer so
that the heaviest objects 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.
Y
ou should therefore use a high gear
to lower the engine speed and reduce
your speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant temperature.
Driving advice
A towed vehicle must free wheel:
gearbox in neutral.

Good Practice
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a
steep slope in high temperatures), the
engine automatically limits its power.
In this case, the air conditioning is
automatically cut off to save engine
power.
Tyres
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures. Chapter 7, "Levels" section.If the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the
engine as soon as possible. Brakestowing increases the braking distance.
Drive at a moderate speed, change
down early and brake gradually
.
Towbar
We recommend the use of genuine
Peuge O t towbars and their
harnesses, which have been tested
and approved from the design stage of
your vehicle, and that you entrust the
fitting of this equipment to a PEUGEOT
dealer.
If this equipment is not fitted by a
P
euge O t
dealer
, it is imperative that
it is fitted using the electrical pre-
equipment installed at the rear of the
vehicle and in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
In accordance with the general
instructions a reminder of which has
been given above, we draw your
attention to the risk associated with
fitting a towbar or electrical accessory
not recommended by P
euge O t
.
Fitting such equipment could result in
the failure of your vehicle's electronic
system. Please obtain information from
the Manufacturer before fitting this type
of equipment.
Side wind
Sensitivity to side wind is increased.
Drive smoothly and at a moderate
speed.
ABS/DSC
t
he ABS or DSC systems only control
the vehicle, not the trailer or caravan.
Parking sensors
t
he rear parking sensors system does
not function while the vehicle is towing.

Warning lamps
If you have to remove / refit the
engine style cover, handle it with care
to avoid damaging the fixing clips.
Oil level
It is recommended that the oil level be

Cooling system
Only use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer.
Otherwise, you risk seriously damaging
your engine.
When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can
operate with the ignition key removed
and because the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn to
release the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and top
up the level with coolant.
If fluid has to be added frequently,
this indicates a fault which must be
checked by a Peuge O t
dealer as
soon as possible.
Power steering fluid level
the vehicle must be parked on level
ground with the engine cold. u nscrew
the cap integrated with the gauge and
check the level which must be between
the MIN and MAX marks. In order to regenerate the filter, you
are advised to drive at a speed higher
than 40 mph (60 km/h) for at least five
minutes as soon as possible, when
traffic conditions permit (until the
message disappears and the service
warning lamp goes off).
During regeneration of the particle
emission filter, the noise of a relay
operating may be heard under the
dashboard.
If the message is still displayed and
if the service warning lamp remains
on, contact a P
euge O t
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
T
opping up
t
he level must be between the MIN
and MAX marks on the expansion
bottle. If more than 1 litre of fluid is
required to top up the level, have
the system checked by a P
euge
O
t
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Screenwash and headlamp
wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your
safety, we would advise that you use
products of the P
euge O t
range.
For optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, this fluid must not be topped
up or replaced with plain water
.
Capacity of the screenwash reservoir:
approximately 3 litres.
If your vehicle is fitted with headlamp
washers, the capacity of the reservoir
is 6 litres.
Diesel additive level
(Diesel with particle
emission filter)
Topping up
t
his additive must be topped up by
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay.
Waste products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil
with the skin.
Brake fluid is harmful to health and
very corrosive.
Do not dispose of used oil, brake fluid
or coolant into drains or into the ground
but into the containers dedicated to this
use at a P
euge O t
dealer (France) or
an authorised waste disposal site.
t
he minimum level of this additive
is indicated by lighting of the service
warning lamp, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in the
screen.
When this occurs with the engine
running it is due to the start of
saturation of the particle emission filter
(exceptionally prolonged urban type
driving conditions: low speed, long
traffic jams, ...).

strictly prohibited.
After washing the vehicle dampness,
or in winter, ice may form on the brake
discs and pads: braking efficiency may
be reduced. Make some light brake
applications to dry and de-ice the
brakes.
If this warning lamp comes
on, bleed the filter. Otherwise
bleed regularly each time the
engine oil is changed.

When the minimum fuel tank
level is reached, this warning
lamp comes on.
You then have
approximately 8 litres of
fuel remaining. Fill up without delay to
avoid running out of fuel.
Never risk driving until you run out of
fuel as this may damage the emissions
control and injection systems. A label affixed to the inside of the flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be
used.
You must fill with at least 5 litres of fuel
for it to be registered by the fuel gauge.
When the fuel filler cap is opened,
there may be a slight air suction noise.
t
his vacuum is entirely normal and is
due to the sealing of the fuel circuit.
When filling the fuel tank, do not
continue after the 3
rd cut-off of the
nozzle. t
his could cause malfunctions.
t
he capacity of the fuel tank is
approximately 60 litres.
