certificate, as well as on the manufacturer's

VIN plate.these weights are also given in sales
brochures. You will then have information on your
vehicle's ability to tow a trailer, a caravan,

a boat...

driving advice
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.
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 and of the trailer, observing
the recommended pressures.
Fitting a towbar
We recommend the use of genuine
P
eugeOt 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
P
eugeOt dealer.
these genuine towbars are compatible with


the operation of the rear parking sensors
and the reversing camera, if fitted to your
vehicle.
If this equipment is not fitted by a P
eugeOt
dealer, it must be fitted in line with the


manufacturer's instructions.
Good practice
If the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
Refer to the "Checks - Levels and
checks" section.
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 is
deactivated while the vehicle is towing with a
genuine P
eugeOt towbar fitted.
Refer to the "
technical data -
Identification markings" section.

SnoW cHAInS
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the
vehicle when braking.
the snow chains must be fitted only to

the driving wheels.
they must never be


fitted to "space-saver" type spare wheels.
take account of the legislation in force
in your country on the use of snow


chains and the maximum running speed
authorised . Advice on installation
F
If you have to fit the chains during
a journey

, stop the vehicle on a flat
surface on the side of the road.
F
Apply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks to prevent movement of


your vehicle.
F
Fit the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer

.
F
Move off gently and drive for a few


moments, without exceeding 30 mph
(50
km/h).
F
Stop your vehicle and check that the
snow chains are correctly tightened.
It is recommended that before you


leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry surface.
Avoid driving with chains on roads that
have been cleared of snow, to avoid
damaging your vehicle's tyres and the road
surface. If your vehicle is fitted with alloy
wheels, check that no part of the chain or its
fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.use only the chains designed to be fitted to
the type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:

used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or fluids
with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health or
indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into sewers
or onto the ground.
take used oil to a PeugeOt dealer or
a qualified workshop (France) or to an


authorised waste disposal site.
LEVELS
these regular maintenance operations
will keep your vehicle in good running
order
. Ask for advice at a P
eugeOt dealer
or consult the warranty and maintenance


record contained in the handbook pack.
to maintain the reliability of engines and
emission control systems, the use of


additives in engine oil is prohibited.
changing the brake fluid
the brake fluid must be changed at
the intervals stated, according to the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
use fluids recommended by the


manufacturer, which fulfil DO
t4 standards.
the level must be between the

MI
n and

MA
x marks on the reservoir

.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a failure which must be checked by
a P
eugeOt dealer or a qualified workshop
as soon as possible.
If you have to remove/refit the engine


styling cover, handle it with care to
avoid damaging the fixing clips.
dipstick
there are two marks on

the dipstick:
oil change
It is imperative that this is carried out at the


intervals specified in the manufacturer's
servicing schedule. Ask for advice at at
P
eugeOt dealer.
Remove the dipstick before filling.
Check the level after filling (never exceed


the maximum mark).
Screw the cap back onto the sump before
closing the bonnet.
Viscosity selection
When topping-up, the oil selected must meet
the manufacturer's requirements.
Warning lamps
Checking by means of the warning
lamps on the instrument panel is
described in the "Ready to set off -
Instruments and controls" section.
A
= maximum
If you fill past this mark,
contact a P
eugeOt
dealer or a qualified
workshop.
B = minimum
Never allow the level to fall


below this mark.
oil level
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes.
the maximum

consumption is 0.5 litre per 600 miles
(1 000
km). Check the level with the vehicle


level, engine cold, using the dipstick.

Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the thickness of the
pads, even between services.
Brake disc wear
For any information on checking the brake
disc wear, contact a P
eugeOt dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too great
or there is a reduction in the performance
of the system, the parking brake should be
adjusted, even between services.
Have the system checked by a P
eugeOt
dealer or a qualified workshop.
If this warning lamp comes on,
have the brake pad wear checked


by a P
eugeOt dealer or a
qualified workshop. In order to avoid damaging the


electrical units, we strongly advise you
not to use high pressure washing to clean
the engine compartment.
After washing the vehicle dampness, or in
winter, ice may form on the brake discs and
pads: braking efficiency may be reduced.
Make some light brake applications to dry
and de-ice the brakes. Only use products recommended by
P
eugeOt or products of equivalent quality
and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of units as

important as the braking system, P
eugeOt
selects and offers specific products.
Change the filter regularly

, in accordance
with the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
