TOWING THE VEHICLE
Procedure for having your vehicle towed
or for towing another vehicle using a re-
movable towing eye.
Access to the tools
Towing from the front
)
On the front bumper, unclip the cover
by pressing at the bottom.
)
Screw the towing eye in fully.
)
Install the towing bar.
)
Switch on the hazard warning lamps
on the towed vehicle.
)
On the rear bumper, unclip the cover
by pressing at the bottom.
)
Screw the towing eye in fully.
)
Install the towing bar.
)
Switch on the hazard warning lamps
on the towed vehicle.
Towing from the rear
The towing eye is installed under the
left-hand concertina board, in the boot
interior trim.
To gain access to it:
)
open the boot,
)
raise the concertina board,
)
remove the towing eye from the
holder.
)
Place the gear lever in neu-
tral (position N
on the elec-
tronic gear control gearbox
or automatic gearbox).
Failure to observe this special condi-
tion could result in damage to certain
braking components and the absence
of braking assistance the next time
the engine is started.

TOWING A TRAILER
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer.
Driving advice
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.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer or installation of a bicycle carrier,
with additional lighting and signalling.
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.
Driving with a trailer places greater de-
mands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.
We recommend the use of
genuine PEUGEOT towbars
and their harnesses that have
been tested and approved from the
design stage of your vehicle, and that
the fi tting of the towbar is entrusted
to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
If the towbar is not fi tted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative
that it is fi tted in accordance with the
vehicle manufacturer's instructions.
General
recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in
your country.
Ensure that the weight of the tow-
ing vehicle is higher than that of the
towed vehicle.
The person at the wheel of the towed
vehicle must have a valid driving li-
cence.
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 en-
gine off, there is no longer any power
assistance for braking or steering.
In the following cases, you must al-
ways call on a professional recovery
service:
- vehicle broken down on a motor-
way or fast road,
- 4 wheel drive vehicle,
- when it is not possible to put the
gearbox into neutral, unlock the
steering, or release the parking
brake,
- towing with only two wheels on
the ground,
- where there is no approved towing
bar available...
Refer to the "Technical data" section for
details of the weights and towed loads
which apply to your vehicle.
Page 216 of 364
PRACTICAL INFORMATION
214
The maximum towed load on a long in-
cline depends on the gradient and the
ambient temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the cool-
ant temperature.
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.
Tyres
)
Check the tyre pressures of the tow-
ing vehicle and of the trailer, observ-
ing the recommended pressures.
Lighting
)
Check the electrical lighting and sig-
nalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will
be deactivated automatically if
a genuine PEUGEOT towbar
is used.
)
If the warning lamp and the
STOP
warning lamp come
on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as
soon as possible.
FITTING ROOF BARS
Maximum authorised weight
on the roof rack, for a loading
height not exceeding 40 cm
(with the exception of bicycle
carriers): 65
kg.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt
the speed of the vehicle to the pro-
fi le of the road to avoid damaging the
roof bars and the fi xings on the roof.
Be sure to refer to national legislation
in order to comply with the regula-
tions for transporting objects that are
longer than the vehicle.
When fi tting transverse roof bars, use
the four quick-fi t fi xings provided for this
purpose:
)
lift the concealing fl aps,
)
open the fi xing covers on each bar
using the key,
)
put each fi xing in place and lock
them on the roof one by one,
)
ensure that roof bars are correctly
fi tted (by shaking them),
)
close the fi xing covers on each bar
using the key.
If your vehicle is fi tted with
roof fi nishers, do not use them
for carrying loads.

Removal
Do not forget to remove the
very cold climate screen:
- when the ambient temperature
exceeds 10 °C,
- when towing,
-
at speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h).
Depending on the model, the clips point
either to the left or to the right.
)
Pass your fi ngers through the upper
grille location.
)
From behind, push the clips in the
opposite direction then pull the part
towards you.
)
Start with the upper screen 1
, then
the centre screen 2
and fi nish with
the lower screen 3
.
VERY COLD CLIMATE SCREEN
Removable protective screen which
prevents the accumulation of snow at
the radiator cooling fan.
Before fi tting or removing the screen,
ensure that the engine is off and cool-
ing fan has stopped. It is recommended
that the screen be fi tted and removed
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
)
Offer up one of the three screens to
the front of the lower section of the
front bumper (do not use the upper
ventilation grille position).
)
Press on the edges A
to engage its
fi xing clips.
)
Press on the middle at B
to com-
plete the engagement of the fi xing
clips.
)
Repeat the operation for the other
two screens.
