In arduous conditions of use or hot climatic
conditions, the needle may move close to

the cooling system is pressurised. In order
to avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the

drop.
When the pressure has dropped, check the
level and remove the cap to top-up.

Have the additional heating checked at
least once a year at the beginning of
winter. Maintenance and repairs should only
be carried out by a P

se only genuine replacement parts.
Switching off the heating
In the case of deferred operation, the
heating stops at the end of the programmed
period.
Good practice
to avoid any risk of poisoning or
asphyxiation, the additional heating must
not be used, even for short periods, in
an enclosed space such as a garage or
workshop which is not fitted with an exhaust
gas extraction system.
t

he additional heating switches off when the
battery voltage is low, so as to allow engine
starting.
t

he additional heating is supplied by the
vehicle's fuel tank.
e nsure that the low fuel
warning lamp is not on.
Always switch off the additional heating
when filling with fuel to avoid any risk of fire
or explosion.
t
he temperature near the heater must not
exceed 120 °C. A temperature higher than
this (for example in the case of painting in
an oven) could damage the components of
the electronic circuits.
t
he additional heating is fitted with
a temperature limiter which cuts off
the combustion in the event of engine
overheating due to a lack of coolant. Check
the level and if necessary top-up following
the advice given in the "Checks - Levels"
section.
t
hen press the programme
selection button before switching the heating
on again.
Setting the operating period
the period of operation can be set to
between 10 and 60 minutes.
Press and hold the
"set" button.
At the same time press the "<"
or ">" button.

indicator come on.
Press and hold the "set" button again.
At the same time press the "<" or ">" button
again.
t

cycle indicator flashes.
Adjust the period by pressing the "<" or
">" button.
t

he setting is confirmed by the period

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.
c

ooling: 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 euge O t
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
euge O t
dealer
.
t

hese 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
euge O t

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.
r

ear parking sensors: the system is
deactivated while the vehicle is towing with a
genuine P
euge O t
towbar fitted.
Refer to the "

t
echnical data -

Identification markings" section.

the vehicle must be parked on level ground
with the engine cold. u nscrew the cap
integrated with the gauge and check the
level which must be between the MI

For access to the reservoir filler cap, remove
the protective cover by turning its three
fixing screws a quarter turn, then remove the
second cover fitted to the cap.
topping up
t
he level must be between the MI n and
MA x marks on the expansion bottle. If
more than 1 litre of fluid is required to top
up the level, have the system checked by a
P euge O t
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Windscreen wash and headlamp
wash level
Capacity of the reservoir: approximately
5.5
litres.
For access to the reservoir filler cap, pull on
the telescopic filler pipe and unclip the cap.
For best quality cleaning and to prevent
freezing, this fluid must not be topped up or
replaced with plain water.
In wintry conditions, the use of an alcohol or
methanol based fluid is recommended.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a failure which must be checked by
a P
euge
O
t dealer or a qualified workshop

as soon as possible.
Only use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer. Otherwise, you risk seriously
damaging your engine. When the engine
is warm, the temperature of the coolant is
controlled by the engine fan. As this fan can
operate with the ignition key removed and
because the cooling system is pressurised,
wait for at least one hour after the engine
has stopped before carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn to release
the pressure to prevent any risk of scalding.
When the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level with coolant.
For access to the header tank filler cap,
remove the protective cover by turning its
three fixing screws a quarter turn.
