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.

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.
Levels and checks

133
operating fault
If this alert persists, do not ignore the
warning; it indicates that a fault has occurred

in the exhaust / particle filter system.
Have the whole system checked by a
P
eugeOt dealer or a qualified workshop.
If there is risk of blockage of the
filter

, this warning lamp comes on
in the instrument panel.
Saturation / regeneration
Because of the higher exhaust

gas temperature resulting from the
normal operation of the particle filter, it is
recommended that you do not park the
vehicle over inflammable materials (grass,
dry leaves, pine needles,
...) so as to avoid


any risk of fire.
Particle filter system (diesel)
An addition to the catalytic converter, this
filter makes an active contribution to the
preservation of air quality by the retaining
of the unburnt pollutant particles. Black
exhaust fumes are thus no longer emitted.
operation
this filter

, fitted in the exhaust system,
accumulates particles of soot.
the engine


management unit controls the automatic
periodic elimination of the soot particles
(regeneration).
the regeneration procedure is invoked


according to the quantity of particles
accumulated and the driving conditions
of the vehicle. During this phase, you
may notice some unusual phenomena
-


increased idling speed, cooling fan running,
increase in smoke and higher exhaust gas
temperature
- which does not af

fect the
operation of the vehicle or the environment. After prolonged idling or driving at very
low speeds, you may occasionally
notice water vapour being emitted from the
exhaust when accelerating.
this is of no


consequence to the running of the vehicle or
to the environment.to regenerate the filter, it is advised to
drive as soon as possible, when traffic
conditions and the law permit, at a speed
of at least 40
mph (around 60 km/h), with


an engine speed above 2 000 rpm for about
fifteen
minutes (until the warning lamp and/
or the message disappears).
If possible, avoid switching of

f the engine
before the end of regeneration of the
filter; repeated interruptions could cause
premature deterioration of the engine oil. It
is not recommended to end regeneration of
the filter with the vehicle stationary.
this alert tells you that the particle filter


is starting to fill up (in conditions of urban
driving of exceptionally long duration: low
speeds, traffic jams etc.).

Good practice
While the quantity of AdBlue® in the additive
tank is
sufficient, no information is displayed.
On the other hand, once the additive level
drops to the quantity needed for a range
of 1 500 miles (2 400 km) driving, you
are warned by different temporary signals
(warning lamp, message, audible signal).
As more miles are covered, these signals
intensify and the message becomes
permanent.
Filling the additive tank
For light vehicles, 5 or 10 litre containers
and 1.89 litre (1/2
uS gallon) bottles are


available from P
eugeOt dealers.
If you want to fill the AdBlue® tank yourself,
ensure that you have a suitable filler pipe,
which may or may not be supplied with the
additive container. When the AdBlue® tank is empty,
restarting becomes impossible.
It is strongly recommended that you do
not wait for the successive alerts before
topping-up the AdBlue
