Changing a wiper blade
Removing
 Raise the corresponding wiper arm.  Unclip the wiper blade and remove it.
Fitting
 Put the corresponding new wiper blade in place and clip it.  Fold down the wiper arm carefully.
Before removing a front
wiper blade
 Within one minute after switching off the ignition, operate the wiper stalk to position the wiper blades vertically on the windscreen.
After fitting a front wiper
blade
 Switch on the ignition.  Operate the wiper stalk again to park the wiper blades.
Towing the vehicle
Access to the tools
The towing eye is installed in the boot under the floor. To gain access to it:  open the boot,  raise the floor,  secure it by hooking the cords on the hooks on the rear parcel shelf support,  remove the polystyrene box,  remove the towing eye from the holder.
Procedure for having your vehicle towed or for towing another vehicle using a removable towing eye.

Practical information
234
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.  Switch on the hazard warning lamps on the towed 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 the
towed vehicle.
Towing another vehicle
Put the gear lever into neutral (position N for an electronic or automatic gearbox). Failure to follow this instruction could lead to damage to certain components (brakes, transmission, ...) and the absence of braking assistance on
restarting the engine.
General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in your c o unt r y. Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle is higher than that of the towed vehicle. The driver must remain at the wheel of the towed vehicle and 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 motor way 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...

Practical information235
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
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.
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 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 vehicle manufacturer's instructions.
Refer to the "Technical data" section for details of the weights and towed loads which apply to your vehicle.
Driving with a trailer places greater demands on the towing vehicle and the driver must take particular care.

Practical information
236
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. The maximum towed load on a long incline depends on the gradient and the ambient temperature. In all cases, keep a check on the coolant temperature.
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.
Ty r e s
 Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the recommended pressures.
Lighting
 Check the electrical lighting and 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.

Practical information
238
Very cold climate screen
 Offer up the screen, placing the lower clips in contact with lower section of the lower grille, using the centre guide as an aid.  Clip first the lower part, then the upper part, from the middle out towards the edges.
Fitting
 Unclip the upper part of the screen, starting at the edges.  Take the screen by the lower edges and
detach it by pulling it towards you.
Removal
Removable protective screen which prevents the accumulation of snow at the radiator cooling fan. Before fitting or removing the screen, ensure that the engine is off and the cooling fan has stopped. It is recommended that the screen be fitted and removed by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Do not forget to remove the very cold climate screen: - when the ambient temperature exceeds 10° C, - when towing, - at speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h).

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 by 10 % for each additional 1 000 metres of altitude. The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country). High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the per formance of the vehicle to protect the engine; if the ambient temperature is above 37 °C, limit the towed load.
Petrol weights and towed loads (in kg)
* 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 GV W 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.
