the batteries contain harmful substances
such as sulphuric acid and lead. th ey
must be disposed of in accordance
with regulations and must not, in any
circumstances, be discarded with household
waste.

ke used remote control batteries and
vehicle batteries to a special collection point.
Do not reverse the polarity and use only a 12 V charger.
Do not disconnect the terminals while the engine is running.
Do not charge the batteries without disconnecting the terminals first.
Do not push the vehicle to start the engine if it is fitted with a CV

ignition switch to the " ON" position (or
to " ON " mode for vehicle fitted with the
"Keyless

distance only.
General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in
your country.
en

sure that the weight of the towing
vehicle is higher than that of the towed
vehicle.
th

e 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:
-

v
ehicle broken down on a motor way
or fast road,
-

4 w
heel drive vehicle,
-

w
hen it is not possible to put the
gearbox into neutral, unlock the
steering, or release the parking
brake,
-

t
owing with only two wheels on the
ground,
-

w
here there is no approved towing
bar available...
to

wing with the wheels on the ground
is only possible on 2 wheel drive (2WD)
versions.
F

F
it the towing bar to the towing eye on the
chassis, located under the front bumper.

Driving advice
Distribution of loads
F 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 towing load must
be reduced by 10
% of the gt
W a
nd so on for
every 1
000 metres of altitude.
Refer to the "
te

chnical Data" section for details
of the weights and towing loads which apply to
your vehicle.
Side wind
F 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.
F
t
o l
ower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
th

e maximum towing load on a long slope
depends on the gradient and the outside
temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
F

I
f this message is displayed, stop your
vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
Braking
towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the lighting and signalling on the t r a i l e r.
If the message flashes slowly, wait for the
engine to cool before topping up the level,
if


necessary.
If the message flashes rapidly, contact a
P
e

uge
Ot

dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay.
