Towing a trailer

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.
Tyres:
check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (see the "Identification
markings" section of chapter 9) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressures.
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 imperative that it is fitted using
the electrical pre-equipment installed at the
rear of the vehicle and in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.


Good practice

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 lamp comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 7.
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 sensors:
the system does not
operate while the vehicle is towing.

ROOF BARS

To install the transverse roof bars, use the
fixings provided for this purpose. Refer to the "Dimensions" section
of chapter 9 for further information
regarding the length (L1 to L4) and the
height (H1 to H3) of the vehicle. Never exceed the maximum weight of
the vehicle when loaded (GVW).
OTHER ACCESSORIES

These accessories and parts, having been
tested and approved for reliability and
safety, are all adapted to your vehicle. A
wide recommended range and original parts
are offered.
Range of professionalequipment Maximum useful load on the roof bars: 100 kg

publishes an accessories catalogue offering
various equipment and fittings, such as:
Roof bars for short, medium and long
wheelbase (load retainers for all models).
Foot board, loading roller, step.

Opening the bonnet
CHECK
S
On the inside

This operation must only be carried out with
the vehicle stationary and the driver's door
open.
Pull the release lever on the side of the
dashboard towards you.


On the outside

Push the safety catch lever located above
the grille to the right and raise the bonnet.
To close

Lower the bonnet and release it at the end of
its travel. Check that the bonnet has latched.
OPENING THE BONNET

Bonnet stay

Unclip the stay and tilt it to insert it in the
first notch, then the second.
Before closing the bonnet, put the stay back
in its housing. If the bonnet is not closed
correctly, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel.
Before doing anything under the
bonnet, switch off the ignition with the
key to avoid any risk of injury resulting from
an automatic change to START mode.

Fuel
144


Low fuel level

When the fuel tank level E
(Empty) is reached, this warning
lamp comes on. At this moment,
you have enough fuel left to
drive approximately 30 miles (50 km)
,
depending on the driving conditions, the
engine and the profile of the road. Fill up
without delay to avoid running out of fuel. The fuel tank must be filled with the engine
off.


- Open the fuel filler flap.

- Support the cap with one hand.

- With the other hand, insert the key, then
turn it anticlockwise.

- Remove the cap and hook it onto the
clip located on the inside of the flap.
A label affixed to the inside of the flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be used.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue
after the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle. This could
cause malfunctions.
The capacity of the fuel tank is
approximately 90
litres.


- After filling the fuel tank, lock the cap
and close the flap.

FUEL SYSTEM CUT-OFF

In the event of a serious collision, a device
automatically cuts off the fuel supply to the
engine and the vehicle's electrical supply.
FILLING WITH FUEL

Fuel tanks of different capacities,
60 and 125 litres, may be fitted. Check that there is no smell or leak of fuel
outside the vehicle.
Restore the supply by pressing:


- the first button, located under the glove
box.

- the second button, located in the battery
compartment under the driver's floor.


In low temperatures
In mountainous and/or cold areas, it is
advisable to use a "winter" type fuel suited
to low or minus temperatures.






With Stop & Start, never refuel with
the system in STOP mode; you must
switch off the ignition with the key.

In each country, it is imperative that the towed loads permitted by local legislation are complied with. For information regarding your
vehicle's towing possibilities and its gross train weight, contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the performance of the vehicle, to protect the engine. When the ambient
temperature is higher than 37 °C, limit the weight towed.
This table indicates the gross vehicle weight (GVW) according to the dimensions and the vehicle model.

Load transfer
It is possible, if the towing vehicle has not reached the GVW, it is possible to transfer this weight to the trailer.
In all cases, do not exceed the trailer weight and GTW indicated.
Observe the towing limits of your vehicle.
