TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
Sensors check the tyre pressure dur-
ing driving and trigger a warning in the
event of malfunction.
Flat tyre Instrument panel display
warning light.
This is accompanied by the audible signal
and the message on the multi-function
display locating the wheel concerned.
If this warning light comes on, have
the tyre pressure checked as soon as
possible.
Puncture
This warning light, accompanied by
the audible signal and the message on
the multi-function display locating the
wheel concerned, is followed by illumi-
nation of the "STOP" warning light. Stop immediately, avoiding any sud-
den movement of the steering wheel
and the brakes.
Change the damaged wheel (punc-
t u r e d o r v e r y d e fl a t e d t y r e ) , a n d h a v e

possible.

system must be carried out by
a PEUGEOT dealer.
If, when changing a tyre, you install a
wheel which is not detected by your
vehicle, you must have the system
reinitialised by a PEUGEOT dealer.

tem is an aid to driving which does not
replace the need for the driver to be
vigilant or to drive responsibly.
This system does not eliminate
the need to have the tyre pressure
checked regularly (see manufacturer's
label on the door pillar) to ensure that
the optimum dynamic performance
of the vehicle is maintained and pre-
vent premature wear of the tyres, par-
ticularly in arduous driving conditions
(heavy load, high speed).
The tyre pressures must be checked
cold, at least once a month. Remem-
ber to check the pressure of the spare
wheel.

ference due to radioelectric emissions

Reminder: for your safety, always
change a wheel:
- on level, stable, non-slippery ground,
- with the handbrake applied,
-

the wheel repaired and checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
After changing the wheel:
- have the tightening of the bolts and
the tyre pressure of the spare wheel
checked as soon as possible.
- have the punctured wheel repaired a n d r e fi t i t t o t h e v e h i c l e a s s o o n a s

- have the spare wheel checked and replace it in its boot recess.
Recommendations when using the
temporary spare wheel *
Your vehicle may be equipped with a
spare wheel with a different rim to that
of the standard wheel.
After use, replace it as soon as possible.
Follow the recommendations below
to avoid any alteration in vehicle han-
dling:
-
do not drive above 50 mph (80 km/h) ,
- d o n o t fi t a w h e e l t r i m ,
- drive carefully,

voir is of good quality.
High pressure washing :
when using a high pressure
washer on stubborn dirt, do
not persist on the headlamps,
the lights and their periphery to avoid
damaging their coating and their seal.
In certain climatic conditions (low tem-
perature, humidity), condensation on
the inside surface of the headlamp
glass and rear lights glass is normal;
it disappears a few minutes after the
lights are switched on.
3 - Side lights: W 5 W.
Remove the protective cover, dis-
connect the connector and then
remove the bulb and change it.
Put the connector back in place.
Reconnect the connector.

In all cases, pay attention to the cool-
ant temperature. Lighting TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars and their harnesses
which have been tested and approved
from the design stage of your vehicle
a n d t h a t y o u e n t r u s t t h e fi t t i n g o f t h e
towbar to a PEUGEOT dealer.

ing the electrical pre-equipment installed
at the rear of the vehicle, in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Driving advice
Distribution of loads: distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heavi-
est loads are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight is close
to the maximum authorised without,
however, exceeding it.
Cooling: towing a trailer on a slope in-
creases the coolant temperature.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.
I n t h e c a s e o f v e h i c l e s fi t t e d w i t h a n
HDI engine, it is advisable, following
intensive use (towing on a motorway,
prolonged driving, ...), to leave the en-
gine running at idle for approximately
20 seconds before switching off the ig-
nition. This limits any increase in the
temperature of the engine after it has
been switched off.
Note: in certain cases of par-
ticularly arduous use (towing
the maximum load in high
temperatures on a steep
slope), the engine automatically lim-
its its power and selects the appropri-
ate automatic gearbox gear in manual
mode. In this case, cutting off the air
conditioning allows the engine power
to be recovered, and therefore the
towing capacity to be increased.
If the coolant temperature
warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the
engine as soon as possible.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (label on the central
door pillar on the driver’s side) and of
the trailer towed, observing the recom-
mended pressure.
Brakes: towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake gradu-
ally.
Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed. Manual adjustment
Adjust your headlamps so as not to
dazzle other road users. Check the
electrical signalling of the trailer.
