Towing a trailer
We recommend the use of genuine
PEUGEOT towbars and their harnesses
that have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle, and that
the fitting of the towbar is entrusted to a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by a PEUGEOT
dealer, it must still be fitted in accordance
with the vehicle manufacturer's
instructions.
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.Please respect the maximum authorised
towable weights, indicated on the
registration certificate or in your vehicle’s
technical data.
For more information on Driving advice
,
particularly when towing, refer to the
corresponding section.
Energy economy mode
System which manages the duration of use of
certain functions to conser ve a sufficient level
of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can still use
functions such as the audio and telematics
system, windscreen wipers, dipped beam
headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc. for a
maximum combined duration of about forty
minutes.
Switching to this mode
A message appears in the instrument panel
screen indicating that the vehicle has switched
to economy mode and the active functions are
put on standby.
If a telephone call is being made at this
time, it will be maintained for around
10
minutes with the hands-free kit of your
audio system.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it may
also be used for towing a trailer.

Particle filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of the particle
filter is indicated by the temporary
illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by a message about
the risk of the filter clogging up.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a speed
of at least 37
mph (60 km/h) until the
warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates
a low Diesel additive level.
For more information on Checking levels ,
refer to the corresponding section. On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burning" smell, which
is per fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust on acceleration. This does not
affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the
environment.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle
services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
Electronic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
effectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must
be checked, even between two
services.
Checking this system must be done by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
