Load space cover

To install:


- position one end of the load space cover
roller in its notch,

- compress the opposite end of the roller
and put it in place,

- release it so that it engages,

- unroll the load space cover to the pillars,

- fix the two hooks on the pillars.


Stowing rings

Use the stowing rings on the rear floor to fix
the net, your loads or luggage.
For safety reasons, on sharp braking, it is
recommended that heavy objects are placed
as far forward as possible. To remove:


- pull the load space cover towards you to
disengage it from its fixings,

- reinsert the load space cover in its roller,

- compress it and remove it from its
support.

You are advised to immobilise the load
by securing it firmly using the stowing
rings on the floor.

For more information about weights,
refer to the administrative documents
(registration document, ...) or to the
"Weights" section of chapter 8.
TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...


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.

Driving advice

A towed vehicle must free wheel: gearbox in
neutral.

11 8


Towing a trailer
You should therefore use a high gear to
lower the engine speed and reduce your
speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
Ty r e s
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle (see the "Identification markings"
section of chapter 8) and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pressures.
Towbar

We recommend the use of genuine
PEUGEOT towbars and their harnesses,
which have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle, and that
you entrust the fitting of this equipment 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.
In accordance with the general instructions
a reminder of which has been given above,
we draw your attention to the risk associated
with fitting a towbar or electrical accessory
not recommended by PEUGEOT. Fitting
such equipment could result in the failure
of your vehicle's electronic system. Please
obtain information from the Manufacturer
before fitting this type of equipment. If the coolant temperature warning
lamp comes on, stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine as soon
as possible.

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 air conditioning is automatically
cut off to save engine power.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 6.
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/DSC
The ABS or DSC systems only control the
vehicle, not the trailer or caravan.

Rear parking sensors
The parking sensors system does not
function while the vehicle is towing.

CHANGING A WHEEL

If your vehicle is equipped with a spare
wheel located underneath the vehicle, follow
these instructions.
1. PARKING THE VEHICLE


- You must ensure that the occupants
get out of the vehicle and wait in a safe
location.

- If possible, park the vehicle on level,
stable and non-slippery ground.

- Apply the parking brake, switch off the
ignition and engage first or reverse gear.

- If available, place a chock under the
wheel diagonally opposite the one to be
changed.
On certain types of ground and/or if heavy
loads are being transported, the vehicle
must be raised in order to disengage
the spare wheel from the carrier. Call a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
If your vehicle is fitted with suspension
with pneumatic height correction,
please deactivate the system. Refer to the
"Rear suspension" section of chapter 3.



- If fitted on your vehicle, open the
plastic flap located at the rear left of the
vehicle.

- Unscrew the nut then take out the jack
and the wheelbrace.

4. OPERATING PROCEDURE


- Place the jack in contact with the
locating point provided, the one which is
closest to the wheel to be changed.
Ensure that the jack is straight and that
the base of the jack is fully in contact
with the ground.

- Extend the jack to lift the wheel clear of
the ground.

- Resume and complete the unscrewing of
the wheel bolts.

- Remove the bolts and remove the wheel.

- Remove the trim pulling it using the
towing eye.

- Loosen the wheel bolts and start
unscrewing them. Do not extend the jack until you have
started unscrewing the bolts on the
wheel to be changed and have placed
the chock under the wheel diagonally
opposite.

Snow screen

QUICK HELP

REMOVABLE SNOW SCREEN

According to country, the removable snow
screen is installed on the lower part of the
front bumper to prevent the accumulation of
snow at the radiator cooling fan.

FITTING



- Offer up the snow screen facing its
centring pin A
on the front bumper.

- Put it in place by pressing at each clip B

located in the four corners.

Do not forget to remove the snow screen
when the exterior temperature is higher than
10°C (no risk of snowfall) and when towing.

REMOVAL



- Pass a screwdriver into the hole located
near each of the clips.

- Use the screwdriver as a lever to unclip
the four clips B
in turn.



6. REFITTING THE REPAIREDWHEEL

The wheel is refitted as described in step 5,
not forgetting to refit the wheel trim.
Refer to the "Identification markings"
section of chapter 8 to locate the tyre
label.
The spare wheel is not designed to
be used over long distances. Have
the tightening of the bolts and the tyre
pressure checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualified workshop as soon as possible.
Also, have the original wheel repaired and
refitted by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
