Only use products
approved by PEUGEOT.
To ensure best perfor
mance from components
as important as the
power steering and the braking
system,
PEUGEOT selects and offers
quite specific products.
CHECK ...
Battery
At the start of winter, have your bat
tery checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Air filter and pollen filter
Have the filter elements replaced
regularly. If you drive in dusty con
ditions, change them twice as
often.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the
style of driving, in particular for vehi
cles which are used in town, over
short distances .
It may be necessary to check the
thickness of the pads, even between
services.
Handbrake
Where the handbrake travel is too
great or there is a reduction in the
performance of the system, the
handbrake should be adjusted, even
between services. Have the system
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer. Fuel supply cutoff
In a serious collision, a mechanism
automatically prevents fuel from
reaching the engine.
The flashing of this warning
light is accompanied by the
message "Fuel circuit dis
armed" on the multi–func
tion display.
To reestablish the fuel supply :  switch off the ignition.
 remove the key.
 check that there is no odour or
leakage of fuel outside the vehi
cle.
 put the key back in the ignition
 switch on the ignition and start.
Manual gearbox
This does not need an oil change.
Check the level, according to the
manufacturer's service schedule.
Automatic gearbox
This does not need an oil change.
Have the level checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer in accordance
with the manufacturer's service
schedule.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accor
dance with the service schedule.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION143
Antitheft bolts*
If your wheels are fitted with an anti
theft bolt (one per wheel), unscrew
the bolt using one of the antitheft
sockets which were given to you on
delivery of your vehicle along with
the duplicate keys and confidential
card and the wheelbrace
1.
Note: make a careful note of the
code number on the head of the anti
theft socket. This willl enable you to
obtain a duplicate antitheft socket.
* According to specification and country. Fitting a wheel
 Position the wheel using the cen
tralising tool, fitted on the hub.
 Tighten the bolts by hand.
 Partly tighten the bolts using the
wheelbrace 1.
 Fold the jack 2completely and
remove it.
 Fully tighten the bolts using the
wheelbrace 1.
 Replace the wheel trim, starting
by placing the wheel trim notch
opposite the valve, and press it on
using the palm of the hand.
 Refit the wheel, with the valve
towards the top, under the vehicle
with the lifting tool, in line with the
illustration.
 Tighten fully and check that the
wheel is lying flat against the rear
floor. For your safety, always
change the wheel:
– on level, stable, nonslippery ground,
– with the handbrake on and the ignition switched off,
– with first or reverse gear engaged (position Pfor the
automatic gearbox),
– with the vehicle chocked.
Never go underneath a vehicle
that is supported only by a jack
(use a ramp).
After changing the wheel:
– have the tightening of the bolts and the tyre pressure checked
by a PEUGEOT dealer as soon
as possible.
– have the punctured wheel repaired and refit it to the vehi
cle as soon as possible.
– ask a Peugeot dealer to check that the spare wheel is fitted cor
rectly.
 Fold down the ring to lock the lift
ing tool.
 Put the tools in the engine com

TOWING YOUR VEHICLE
Without lifting (4 wheels on the road)
You should always use a tow bar.
The removable towing eye is inside the engine compartment.
From the front: Unclip the cover by pressing the bottom part.
 Screw in the removable towing eye until it locks.
From the rear:  Unclip the top of the cover using a coin,
 Screw in the removable towing eye until it locks.
Lifting (2 wheels on the road only)
It is preferable to raise the vehicle using professional lifti ng equipment.
When towing with the
engine switched off,
there is no braking or
steering assistance.
Special features of the
automatic gearbox
When being towed with four wheels
on the road, it is essential to observe
the following rules:
selector lever in position
N,
tow the vehicle at a speed below 30 mph (50 km/h) over a distance
limited to 30 miles (50 km)
maximum,
do not add oil to the gearbox.
18-11-2002

TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT ETC...
Only use original PEUGEOT tow
bars which have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
your vehicle.
The tow bar must be fitted by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Driving advice
Distribution of loads: distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heaviest
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
increases the coolant temperature.
As the fan is electronically con
trolled, its cooling capacity is not
dependent on the engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to
lower the engine speed, and reduce
your speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant temperature. Note:
in certain cases of particularly
arduous use (towing the maximum
load up a steep slope in high tem
peratures), the engine automatically
limits its power. In this case, cutting
off the air conditioning allows the
engine power to be recovered, and
therefore the towing speed to be sig
nificantly increased (approximately
12mph [20 km/h] more).
If the coolant temperature warning
light comes on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as soon as pos
sible.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures
of the towing vehicle and of the trail
er, observing the recommended
pressure.
Brakes: towing increases the brak
ing distance. Drive at a moderate
speed, change down early and brake
gradually.
Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed. Lighting
Manual adjustment
Adjust your headlamps so as not to
dazzle other road users (see section
on ''Manual adjustment of head
lamps''). Check the electrical sig
nalling of the trailer.
Automatic beam correction
For vehicles with Xenon bulbs, this
system automatically corrects the
height of the beam, whatever the
load of the vehicle. The driver is then
assured of having optimum lighting
and not causing a nuisance to other
road users.
