Changing a bulb


Front lamps
A. Model with light guide

In some weather conditions (e.g. low temperature or humidity), the presence of misting on the internal sur face of the glass of the headlamps and rear lampsis normal; it disappears after the lamps have been on for a few minutes.

The headlamps are fitted with
polycarbonate glass with a protectivecoating:)do not clean them using a dry or abrasive cloth, nor with a detergent or solvent product,)
use a sponge and soapy water or apH neutral product,)
when using a high pressure washer on persistent marks, do not keep the lance directed towards thelamps or their edges for too long, so as not to damage their protectivecoating and seals,)
do not touch the bulb directly withyour fingers, use lint-free cloths.
Changing a bulb should only be doneafter the headlamp has been switched off for a few minutes (risk of serious burns). It is imperative to use only anti-ultraviolet (UV) type bulbs in order notto damage the headlamp. Always replace a failed bulb with a new bulb with the same type andspecification.

Towing a trailer
We recommend the use of genuinePEUGEOT towbars and their harnessesthat have been tested and approved from the design stage of your vehicle, and that the fitting of the towbar is entrusted to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.If the towbar is not fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative that it is fitted in accordance with the vehiclemanufacturer's instructions.
T
owbar suitable for the attachment of atrailer or installation of a bicycle carrier, with
additional lighting and signalling.
Driving with a trailer places greater demands on the towing vehicle and the driver must take par ticular care.

Your vehicle is primaril
y designed for
transpor ting people and luggage, but it may
also be used
for towing a trailer.

Practical information
Driving advice
Distribution of loads
)Distribute the load in the trailer so that theheaviest 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 towed load must
be reduced by 10
% for every 1 000 metres of altitude.
Side wind
)Take into account the increased sensitivity
to side wind.

Cooling

To w i ng a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electricall
y controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.)
To lower the engine speed, reduce your speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
tem
perature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
)If the warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.



Braking

To w i ng a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a longmountain type of descent, the use of engine braking is recommended.

Tyres
)Check the tyre pressures of the towingvehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the recommended pressures.



Lighting
)Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.


The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a genuine PEUGEOT towbar is used.

of the weights and towed loads which apply to your vehicle.

Advice on care and maintenance
Recommendations on the care and maintenance your vehicle are given in the ser vicing booklet.
Matt paint


We recommend the use of a high pressurejet wash, or at least a water hose with a high
output.
We recommend that the vehicle be rinsed using
de-ionised water.
Use only a microfibre cloth to dry the vehicle.
It must be clean and used without heavy pressure.
Lightly wipe off any fuel stains present on the
bodywork using a soft cloth, then leave to dry.
From the range of cleaning and maintenanceproducts in the "TECHNATURE" range
recommended and approved by PEUGEOT,
use only the insect remover and car shampoo,
which are the only products to be used on the
bodywork.
The insect remover can also be used to removeminor marks (for example: finger marks...).
Always have paint repairs done by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
I
f you vehicle is finished with a clear matt
lacquer, please obser ve the followingrecommendations to avoid damaging thepaintwork by the use of an inappropriate
cleaning procedures.
These recommendations are also valid for alloy road wheels finished with clear matt lacquer.
Never clean the vehicle without water. Never wash your vehicle in an automatic roller brush car wash.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) onthe paintwork. These products are only suitable for bright finishes. Application of these products on vehicles with amatt finish will seriously damage thepaint sur face of the vehicle, giving rise to irreversible shiny or stained areas.Never use a high pressure jet wash with
a lance fitted with a brush, this may scratch the paintwork. Never select a wash programme that finishes with a hot wax cycle.

Checks
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require anymaintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the servicing and warrantybooklet for the details of the level checking interval for this component.
Electronic gearbox

The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the servicing and warrantybooklet for details of the checking
interval for this component.
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require anymaintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the ser vicing and warranty
booklet for details of the levelchecking interval for this component. Brake wear depends on the st
yle
of driving, par ticularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over shor t
distances. It ma
y be necessary to have
the condition of the brakes checked, even between vehicle services. Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a
drop in the brake fluid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.














Brake pads
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.


Brake disc wear
Parking brake


If excessive travel or a loss of effectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must be checked, even between two ser vices.
Checking this system must be done by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

















Only use products recommended by PEUGEOT or products of equivalentquality and specification.
In order to optimise the operationof units as impor tant as the braking system, PEUGEOT selects and offersvery specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness,or in wintry conditions, ice, can form on the brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may be reduced. Make lightbrake applications to dry and defrost the brakes.

Technical data
*
The kerb weight is equal to the unladen weight + driver (75 kg).
**

The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit, if the GVW of the towing vehicle is reduced by an equal amount; warning,
towing using a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its road holding.
The GTW and towed load values indicated are valid up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned must be reduced b
y 10 % for each additional 1 000 metres of altitude.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (10 0 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the performance of the vehicle to protect the engine; if the ambient temperature is above 37 °C,
limit the towed load.
