panied by an audible signal and themessage "Engine coolant temper-
ature high" on the multi-function
display.
You must stop immediately.
Warning: wait for the engine to cool
before topping up the level.The cooling system is pressurised.In order to avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap two turns to allowthe pressure to drop. When the pressure has dropped, remove the cap and top up the level.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer. Engine oil temperature indicator When the engine is running, this indicates the oil temperature. The temperature is too high if the maximum graduation is reached.The central
STOPwarning light
flashes, accompanied by an audiblesignal.
You must stop immediately.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION145
TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT etc.
Only use original PEUGEOT tow bars that have been tested andapproved from the design stage ofyour vehicle. The tow bar must be fitted by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Your vehicle is primarily 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 1 000 metres, the maximumtowing load must be reduced by
10 % and so on for every
1 000 metres of altitude. The rear parking assistance function will be disarmed automatically whena towbar is fitted.Driving advice Distribution of loads:
Distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to theaxle and the nose weight approach-es the maximum permitted withoutexceeding it. Cooling: towing a trailer on a slope
increases the temperature of the coolant. As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependenton 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 the coolant 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 braking
distance.Lights: check the electrical sig-
nalling on the trailer.Side winds: take into acount the
increased sensitivity to side wind.
