Battery
To charge the battery using a battery charger:
- Disconnect the battery, starting with the negative (-) terminal.
- Follow the instructions for use given by the battery charger manufacturer.
- Reconnect starting with the positive (+) terminal.
- Check that the terminals and connectors are clean. If they are covered with sul-phate deposits (white or greenish deposit), disconnect them and clean them.
To start the vehicle and charge the battery from another battery: Ensure that the connections are good:
- Connect the red cable to the positive (+) terminals of the two batteries.
- Connect one end of the green or black cable to the negative (-) terminal of the slave battery.
- Connect the other end of the green or black cable to an earth point on the broken down vehicle as far as possible from the battery.
Operate the starter, let the engine run.
Wait for the engine to return to idle, and disconnect the cables.
- Never disconnect a terminal when the engine is running.
- Never charge a battery without first disconnecting the terminals.
- After every disconnection of the battery, switch on the ignitionand wait 10 seconds beforestarting. If slight difficulties areexperienced after this, please
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
It is advisable to disconnect the battery if the vehicle
is not to be used for a period of more than one month.

Special features of the automatic gearbox When towing with four wheels on the ground, the following rules must beobeyed:
Ð lever in position N,
Ð tow the vehicle at less than 30 m.p.h. (50 km/h) over a maximum distance of 30 miles (50 km),
Ð do not add oil to the gearbox.

Driving advice Distribution of loads: distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviestloads are as close as possible to theaxle and the nose weight is close tothe maximum authorised without,
however, exceeding it. Cooling:
towing a trailer on a slope
increases the coolant temperature. As the fan is electrically controlled, itscooling capacity is not dependent onthe 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 the coolant temperature. If the warning light comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine assoon as possible.
TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT ETC.
Only use original PEUGEOT towbars which have been tested and approvedfrom the design stage of your vehicle. The towbar must be fitted by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Your vehicle is mainly designed for transporting people and luggage but it
may also be used to tow a trailer. Driving with a trailer subjects the towing vehicle to more significantforces and requires particular atten-
tion on the part of the driver. Air density decreases with altitude, thus also reducing engine perfor-
mance. Above 1000 metres, reducethe maximum towing load by 10 %and so on for each additional 1000 metres.
For use in arduous conditions(towed load at the limit of the Permis-
sible Gross Train Weight, in Summeron a long hill)
certain engines (1.9 l
Diesel) must be equipped with a
more resistant cooling system.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer who, depending on your vehicle and what it
is used for, will be able to advise youabout suitable equipment. Pay attention to the coolant tempera- ture at all times. If the alarm warning light comes on,
stop the vehicle and switch off theengine as soon as possible.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle and the trailer, obser- ving the recommended pressures. Brakes: towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early, brake graduallyand avoid jerky braking. Lighting: adjust your headlamps so
as not to dazzle other road users. Check the electrical signalling on the
trailer. Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a moderate speed.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE
To preserve the paintwork and the plastic trim on your vehicle, we rec-ommend that you wash them regu-
larly,
- by hand, there are no specific pre-cautions to take;
- however repeated use of poorly maintained automatic car-washes can lead to the appearance ofmicro-scopic scratches which givethe paintwork a matt appearance(especially visible on dark colours);
- using a high pressure washer, always following the recommen-dations on the equipment (pres-sure and spraying distance). If there are areas of damage on the vehicle (painted bumpers, or head-lamps), it is not recommended todirect the high pressure jet ontothem: wash the areas of damageby hand. Also avoid the entry of water into the locks. Waxing:
the regular use of wax
added to the washing water orapplied separately is strongly recom-mended, it protects the upper coats ofpaintwork against external attack. For all questions relating to the main- tenance of your vehicle, contact anapproved dealer who can advise youon quality products selected by ourdepartments. - Clean off, as soon as
possible, bird droppings,resinous deposits, tarstains and grease
marks ; (as these all containsubstances which can causeserious damage to the paint-work).
- Brake briefly several times to expel any dampness from thebrake pads, when you are set-ting off after washing your vehi-cle.
- 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.
