TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT etc,
Only use original PEUGEOT tow bars that have been tested andapproved from the design stage of
your vehicle. The tow bar must be
fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Your vehicle is basically designed for transporting people and luggagebut it may also be used for towing a
trailer. Driving with a trailer subjects the towing vehicle to more significantstress and its driver must be particu-larly careful. Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine performance.Above 1000 metres, the maximumtowing load must be reduced by10% and so on for every 1000metres of altitude. Driving advice Distribution of loads
: distribute the
load in the trailer so that the hea- viest items are as close as possibleto the axle and the nose weightapproaches the maximum permittedwithout exceeding it. Cooling : towing a trailer on a slope
increases the temperature of the
coolant. As the fan is electricallycontrolled, its cooling capacity is notdependent on the engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the engine speed, and reduceyour speed. The maximum towing load on a long slope depends on the gradient andthe outside temperature. In all cases, pay attention to thecoolant temperature. If the warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the engineas soon as possible.
Tyres
: check the tyre pressures of
the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the recommended pres-sures. Braking : towing increases the bra-
king distance.Lights : adjust your headlamps so
that they do not dazzle other road users. Check the electrical signalling
on the trailer. Side wind : take into acount the
increased sensitivity to side wind.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE
To preserve the paintwork and the plastic trim on your vehicle, werecommend that you wash them
regularly.
Ð by hand: there are no specific pre-cautions to take;
Ð using an automatic car wash: repeated use of poorly maintained automatic car washes can lead tothe appearance of microscopicscratches which give the paint-work a matt appearance (espe-cially visible on dark colours);
Ð using a high pressure washer: always follow the recommenda-tions on the equipment (pressureand spraying distance). If there are damaged areas on the vehicle (painted bumpers orheadlamps), it is not recommen-ded to direct the high pressure jet
onto them. Wash these areas byhand.Also avoid the entry of water intothe locks.
For all questions relating to themaintenance of your vehicle,contact an approved dealer who canadvise you on quality productsselected by our departments.
- Clean off bird drop- pings, resinous depo- sits, tar stains andgrease marks as
soon as possible; (these allcontain substances which cancause serious damage to thepaintwork).
- Do not use a dry or abrasive cloth, or detergent or solventproducts to clean the doublelens, complex surface head-lamps as they are fitted withpolycarbonate glass covered ina protective finish.
- Do not use petrol, oil or cloth stain removers to clean thebodywork and plastic parts ofyour vehicle.
- To prevent the development of bodywork corrosion as a resultof accidental damage (stonechips, scratches etc.), have
them repaired swiftly.
