Driving advice Distribution of loads: distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviestloads are as close as possible to theaxle and the nose weight is close tothe maximum authorised without,
however, exceeding it. Cooling:
towing a trailer on a slope
increases the coolant temperature. As the fan is electrically controlled, itscooling capacity is not dependent onthe engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the engine speed, and reduceyour speed. The maximum towing load on a long slope depends on the gradient andthe outside temperature. In all cases, pay attention to the coolant temperature. If the warning light comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine assoon as possible.
TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT ETC.
Only use original PEUGEOT towbars which have been tested and approvedfrom the design stage of your vehicle. The towbar must be fitted by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Your vehicle is mainly designed for transporting people and luggage but it
may also be used to tow a trailer. Driving with a trailer subjects the towing vehicle to more significantforces and requires particular atten-
tion on the part of the driver. Air density decreases with altitude, thus also reducing engine perfor-
mance. Above 1000 metres, reducethe maximum towing load by 10 %and so on for each additional 1000 metres.
Tyres:
check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle and the trailer, obser-ving the recommended pressures. Brakes: towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early, brake graduallyand avoid jerky braking. Lighting: adjust your headlamps so
as not to dazzle other road users. Check the electrical signalling on the
trailer. Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a moderate speed.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE
To preserve the paintwork and the plastic trim on your vehicle, we recommend that you wash them
regularly,
- by hand, there are no specific pre-cautions to take;
- using a high pressure washer, always follow the recommenda- tions on the equipment (pressureand spraying distance).If there are areas of damage onthe vehicle (painted bumpers, orheadlamps), it is not recommen-ded to direct the high pressure jetonto them: wash the areas ofdamage by hand. Also avoid the entry of water into the locks. Waxing:
the regular use of wax
added to the washing water orapplied separately is strongly recom-mended, it protects the upper coats ofpaintwork against external attack. For all questions relating to the main- tenance of your vehicle, contact anapproved dealer who can advise youon quality products selected by ourdepartments. - Clean off, as soon as
possible, bird drop-pings, resinousdeposits, tar stainsand grease marks; (as
these all contain substanceswhich can cause serious damage to the paintwork).
- Brake briefly several times to expel any dampness from thebrake pads, when you are setting off after washing yourvehicle.
- Do not use a dry or abrasive cloth, or detergent or solventproducts to clean the doublelens, complex surface head-lamps as they are fitted withpolycarbonate glass covered ina protective finish.
- Do not use petrol, oil or cloth stain removers to clean thebodywork and plastic parts ofyour vehicle.
- To prevent the development of bodywork corrosion as a resultof accidental damage (stonechips, scratches etc.) have them
repaired swiftly.
