Driving advice
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.
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.
 If the warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as possible.
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.
The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a genuine PEUGEOT towbar is used.
Refer to the "Technical data" section for details of the weights and towed loads which apply to your vehicle.

vehicle.
AdBlue ® freezes at about -11°C and ® freezes at about -11°C and ®
deteriorates above 25°C. It is recommended that bottles be stored in a cool area and protected from direct sunlight. Under these conditions, the additive can be kept for at least a year. Additive that has been frozen can be used once it has thawed out.
Procedure
Before topping-up, ensure that the vehicle is parked on a flat and level sur face. In wintry conditions, ensure that the temperature of the vehicle is above -11°C.
Otherwise, by freezing, the AdBlue ® cannot ® cannot ®
be poured into its tank. Park your vehicle in a warmer area for a few hours to allow the top-up to be carried out.
 Switch off the ignition and remove the key, or if your vehicle has one, press the START/STOP button to switch of the engine.
 For access to the AdBlue ® tank, raise the ® tank, raise the ®
boot carpet then lift out the spare wheel or storage box.
 Without pressing, turn the black cap a quarter turn anti-clockwise and lift it off.
 Turn the blue cap a 6 th of a turn anti-clockwise.  Lift off the cap.
