TOWING A VEHICLE

TOWING EYE

This is stored in the boot under the fl oor.
For access to it:


)
open the boot,

)
raise the fl oor using the strap,

)
secure it in the vertical position beyond the stops, located on the
sides of the boot,

)
remove the towing eye from the storage box.



GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

Observe the legislation in force in your country.
Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle is higher than that of
the towed vehicle.
The driver must stay at the wheel of the towed vehicle.
Driving on motorways and fast roads is prohibited when towing.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, always
use an approved towing bar; rope and straps are prohibited.
When towing a vehicle with the engine off, there is no longer any
power assistance for braking or steering.
In the following cases, you must always call on a professional
recovery service:


- vehicle broken down on a motorway or fast road,

- when it is not possible to put the gearbox into neutral, unlock
the steering, or release the parking brake,

- towing with only two wheels on the ground,

- where there is no approved towing bar available...

8/
PRACTICAL INFORMATION

TOWING YOUR VEHICLE



)
On the front bumper, unclip the cover by pressing at the bottom.

)
Screw the towing eye in fully.

)
Install the towing bar.

)
Place the gear lever in neutral (position N
on the automatic
gearbox).
Failure to observe this instruction could result in damage to certain
components (braking, transmission...) and the absence of braking
assistance the next time the engine is started.

)
Unlock the steering by turning the ignition key one notch and
release the parking brake.

)
Switch on the hazard warning lamps on both vehicles.

)
Move off gently and drive slowly and for a short distance only.



TOWING ANOTHER VEHICLE



)
On the rear bumper, unclip the cover by pressing at the bottom.

)
Screw the towing eye in fully.

)
Install the towing bar.

)
Switch on the hazard warning lamps on both vehicles.

)
Move off gently and drive slowly and for a short distance only.

184
TOWING A TRAILER

Towbar suitable for the attachment of a trailer with additional lighting
and signalling.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for transporting people and luggage,
but it may also be used for towing a trailer.
We recommend use of the PEUGEOT genuine towbar with ball
which can be removed without tools and its harness 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 or a qualifi ed workshop.
If the trailer is fi tted outside the PEUGEOT dealer network, it must
be fi tted in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.


DRIVING ADVICE

Driving with a trailer subjects the towing vehicle to more signifi cant
stress and its driver must be particularly careful.

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 approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
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.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for details of the weights and
towing loads which apply to your vehicle version.


Side wind



)
Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.

8/
PRACTICAL INFORMATION

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.


)
To lower the engine speed, reduce your speed.
The maximum towing load on a long slope depends on the gradient and
the ambient temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant temperature.


Braking

Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.


Tyres



)
Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pressures.



Lighting



)
Check the electrical signalling on the trailer.

)
If the warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come
on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as
possible.
The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a
genuine PEUGEOT towbar is used.


When not towing a trailer, remove the quickly-detachable tow ball
before driving, so as to avoid masking the central rear lamp.

186
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

The general recommendations on cleaning and maintaining your vehicle
are given in the Warranty and Maintenance Record.










ALUMINIUM ARCHES

To clean these arches, do not use a dry cloth with an abrasive product.
Use a sponge and soapy water.







PEUGEOT TECHNO TEP

To clean this trim, do not use solvents or detergents with a dry cloth.
First remove dust, then use a soft cloth and soapy water. Dry with
another soft cloth.










HEADLAMPS AND LAMPS

The headlamps have polycarbonate lenses, fi nished with a protective
lacquer.
Do not clean them with a dry or abrasive cloth, nor with detergent or
solvent products.
Use a sponge and soapy water.










CUSTOMISING STICKERS

These customising parts are self-adhesive stickers, treated to give good
resistance to ageing and tearing.
They are intended for customising the body.
Available also as accessories, we recommend that you have them fi tted
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.










MATT PAINT

If you vehicle is fi nished with a clear matt lacquer, please observe the
following recommendations to avoid damaging the paintwork by the use
of an inappropriate procedures.
These recommendations are also valid for alloy road wheels fi nished
with clear matt lacquer.
The use of a high pressure jet wash for cleaning the headlamps,
lamps and their surrounds may damage the lacquer and seals.
Observe the recommendations on pressure and distance for jet
washing.
First clean persistent stains with a sponge and warm soapy water. When washing your vehicle, keep the end of a high-pressure
lance at least 30 centimetres from the stickers.

Never polish the vehicle body, nor the alloy wheels. Doing this will
make the paintwork shiny.
Do not use paint cleaners, abrasive products or paint polishing or
preserving products (such as wax, for example) on the paintwork.
These products are only suitable for bright fi nishes. Application of
these products on vehicles with a matt fi nish will seriously damage
the paint surface of the vehicle, giving rise to shiny or stained
areas.
Never select a wash programme that fi nishes with a hot wax
cycle.
Always have paint repairs done by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.

From the range of cleaning and maintenance products recommended and approved
by PEUGEOT, use only products for removing insects and car shampoo.
