CHECKING TYRE PRESSURES / INFLATING
ACCESSORIES
You can also use the compressor, without injecting any product, to:
- check or adjust the pressure of your tyres,
- infl ate other accessories (balls, bicycle tyres...).
)
Turn the selector A
to the "Air" position.
)
Uncoil the black pipe H
fully.
)
Connect the black pipe to the valve of the wheel or
accessory.
If necessary, fi t one of the adaptors supplied with the kit fi rst.
)
Connect the compressor's electrical connector to the vehicle's 12 V
socket.
)
Start the vehicle and let the engine run.
)
Adjust the pressure using the compressor (to infl ate: switch B
in position "I"
; to defl ate: switch B
in position "O"
and press
button C
), according to the vehicle's tyre pressure label or the
accessory's pressure label.
)
Remove the kit then stow it.

ENERGY ECONOMY MODE
System which manages the duration of use of certain functions to
conserve a suffi cient level of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can still use functions such as
the audio and telematic system, windscreen wipers, dipped beam
headlamps, courtesy lamp, etc. for a maximum combined duration of
thirty minutes.
This period may be greatly reduced if the battery is not fully charged.
SWITCHING TO ECONOMY MODE
Once this time has elapsed, a message appears in the screen indicating
that the vehicle has switched to economy mode and the active functions
are put on standby.
If the telephone is being used at this time:
- it will be maintained for 5 minutes with the Bluetooth system
of your Peugeot Connect Sound (RD5),
- it will still be possible to fi nish the call with the Peugeot Connect
Navigation (RT6) or Peugeot Connect Media (NG4 3D).
EXITING ECONOMY MODE
These functions are reactivated automatically next time the vehicle is
driven.
To restore operation of these functions immediately, start the engine
and let it run for at least 5 minutes.
Let the engine run for the period specifi ed to ensure that the battery
charge is suffi cient.
Do not repeatedly and continuously restart the engine in order to charge
the battery.
A fl at battery prevents the engine from starting (refer to the
"Battery" section).
LOAD REDUCTION MODE
System which manages the use of certain functions according to the
level of charge remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load reduction function temporarily
deactivates certain functions, such as the air conditioning, the heated
rear screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivated automatically as soon as
conditions permit.

the battery.
Retract the active spoiler then close the windows and the doors
before disconnecting the battery.
Following reconnection of the battery
Following reconnection of the battery, switch on the ignition
and wait 1 minute before starting to permit initialisation of the
electronic systems. However, if slight problems remain following
this operation, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section, you must yourself
reinitialise:
- the remote control key,
- the electric windows and the automatic partial opening of the
door windows,
- the GPS satellite navigation system.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
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 person at the wheel of the towed vehicle must have a valid
driving licence.
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,
- 4 wheel drive vehicle,
- 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...

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.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
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.
Page 192 of 336
190
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.
