ACCESSORIES
   Towing a trailer   
 TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC... 
  Driving advice 
 A towed vehicle must free wheel: gearbox in  
neutral. 
  
Cooling:   towing a trailer on a slope 
increases the coolant temperature.   As the fan is electrically controlled, 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.

   Towing a trailer   
  In certain cases of particularly arduous  
use (towing the maximum load up a steep 
slope in high temperatures), the engine 
automatically limits its power. In this 
case, the automatic cutting off of the air 
conditioning allows the engine power to be 
recovered.  If the coolant temperature 
warning light comes on, stop the 
vehicle and switch off the engine 
as soon as possible. 
 See the "Levels" section of chapter 7. 
  
Tyres:   check the tyre pressures of the 
towing vehicle (see the "Identification  
features" section of chapter 7) and of 
the trailer, observing the recommended 
pressure.  
  
Brakes:   towing increases the braking 
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.  
  
ABS:   the system only controls the vehicle, 
not the trailer. 
  
Rear parking assistance:   the 
assistance will be deactivated 
automatically when an original  PEUGEOT   
towbar is used (see the "Rear parking 
assistance" section of chapter 4). 
 We recommend the use of original  
 PEUGEOT  towbars and their harnesses, 
which have been tested and approved from 
the design stage of your vehicle, and that 
the fitting of this equipment is entrusted to a 
 PEUGEOT dealer . 
 If this equipment is not fitted by a  PEUGEOT 
dealer , it is essential that it is fitted using 
the electrical pre-equipment located at the 
rear of the vehicle in accordance with the 
manufacturer ’s instructions. 
 The operation of the sensors is deactivated 
automatically when the pin of the trailer 
cable is inserted in the towbar socket. 
 When the trailer cable pin is removed, the 
sensors are re-activated.  
  
Distribution of loads   
 Distribute the load in the trailer so that the 
heaviest objects are as close as possible 
to the axle and the nose weight is close to 
the maximum authorised without, however, 
exceeding it. The air density decreases with 
altitude, so reducing the performance of 
the engine. The maximum towed load must 
be reduced by 10 % for each 1 000 metres 
of altitude. Refer to the "Technical data" 
chapter for details of the weights and 
towed loads applicable to your vehicle and 
also to the administrative documents (V5 
registration document, ...).

TROUBLESHOOTING
   Battery   
  BATTERY 
  
A.   Positive metal point on your vehicle 
  
B.   Slave battery 
  
C.   Earth on your vehicle 
  CHARGING THE BATTERY USING A CHARGER 
   -   disconnect the battery,  
  -   follow the instructions for use given by 
the battery charger manufacturer, 
  -   reconnect starting with the negative (-)  terminal, 
  -   check that the terminals and connectors  are clean. If they are covered with  
sulphate (white or greenish deposit), 
disconnect them and clean them.    The charging operation must be carried 
out in a ventilated area away from 
naked flames or any possible sources of 
sparks to eliminate the risk of explosion and 
fire. 
 Do not attempt to charge a frozen battery: it 
must first be thawed to eliminate the risks of 
explosion. If the battery has frozen, before 
charging it have it checked by a specialist 
who will check that the internal components 
have not been damaged and that the 
container is not cracked, which could mean 
that there is a risk of a leak of toxic and 
corrosive acid.  
  STARTING FROM ANOTHER BATTERY 
   -   connect the red cable to the metal point   
A   then to the positive (+) terminal of the 
slave battery   B , 
  -   connect one end of the green or black  cable to the negative (-) terminal of the  
slave battery   B , 
  -   connect the other end of the green or  black cable to the earth point   C  on your 
vehicle, 
  -   operate the starter, let the engine run,  
  -   wait for the engine to return to idle, then  disconnect the cables.

   Battery   
 The batteries contain   harmful  
substances such as sulphuric acid and 
lead. They must be discarded in accordance 
with the provisions of the law and must not, 
in any circumstances, be discarded with 
household waste. 
 Take used batteries to a special collection 
point.  
 Before disconnecting the battery, you must  
wait for 2 minutes after switching off the 
ignition. 
 Never disconnect a terminal when the 
engine is running. 
 Never charge a battery without first 
disconnecting the terminals. 
 Close the windows and doors before 
disconnecting the battery. 
 After every reconnection of the battery, 
switch on the ignition and wait 1 minute 
before starting to allow the electronic 
systems to be initialised. If slight difficulties 
are experienced after this, please  consult a 
PEUGEOT dealer .   It is advisable to disconnect the battery  
if the vehicle is not to be used for a 
period of more than one month. 
 If the battery has been disconnected  
for some time, it may be necessary to 
reinitialise the following functions: 
   -   the display parameters (date, time,  language, distance unit and temperature 
unit), 
  -   the radio stations,  
  -   the central locking.  
 Some settings are cleared and must be  
reprogrammed,  consult a PEUGEOT dealer .
