PRACTICAL INFORMATION
TOWING A TRAILER

Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer.


Driving advice

The maximum towed load on a long in-
cline depends on the gradient and the
ambient temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the cool-
ant temperature.

Side wind


)
Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind.


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.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a
long mountain type of descent, the use
of engine braking is recommended.

Tyres


)

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



Lighting


)
Check the electrical lighting and sig-
nalling on the trailer.


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


)
If the warning lamp and the
STOP
warning lamp come
on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as
soon as possible.

Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer or installation of a bicycle carrier,
with additional lighting and signalling.

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 towed load
must be reduced by 10 % for every
1 000 metres of altitude.
Driving with a trailer places greater de-
mands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.


We recommend the use of
genuine PEUGEOT towbars
and their harnesses 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 towbar is not fi tted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative
that it is fi tted in accordance with the
vehicle manufacturer's instructions.
Refer to the "Technical data"
section for details of the
weights and towed loads
which apply to your vehicle.

08MUSIC MEDIA PLAYERS

Insert the CD in the player, insert the USBmemory stick in the USB player or connect theUSB peripheral to the USB port using a suitablecable (not supplied)

The system builds playlists (in temporarymemory), an operation which can take froma few seconds to several minutes at the fi rstconnection.
R
educe the number of non-music fi les and the number of folders to reduce the waiting time.
The pla
ylists are updated every time the ignition
is switched off or connection of a USB memory stick. However, the system memorises these
lists and if they are not modifi ed, the loadingtime will be shorter.
Pla
y starts automatically after a period which
depends on the capacity of the USB memory stick. SELECTION OF SOURCE
