Handbrake Application When you have parked the vehicle, pull up the handbrake to apply it.
To ease application and release of the handbrake, press the brake pedal andpull up the handbrake with the enginerunning. Release Press the button before releasing the handbrake.THE ABS ANTI-LOCKBRAKING SYSTEM* In conjunction with tyres in good con- dition and of an approved make, theABS system with electronic brakeforce distribution improves the stabi-lity and handling of your vehicle, par-ticularly on an uneven or slipperysurface. The anti-lock braking system comes into operation automatically whenthere is a risk of wheel lock.
Manual gearbox The positions are indicated on the gear lever knob. Reverse gear can only be engaged from neutral when the vehicle is
stationary, with the engine idling. In the event of emergency braking,press very firmly without reducingthe pressure. In some conditions the normal oper-
ation of the ABS may be felt asvibrations of the brake pedal.
* According to specification.
Power steering*
This is a comfort device which offers the best compromise for parking, andfor driving at high speeds.

For your safety, always change the wheel: - on level, stabIe and
non-slippery ground,
- with the handbrake applied,
- with first gear or reverse engaged (position Pfor the
automatic gearbox).
Never go underneath a vehicle which is supported only by a jack.(Use a ramp). After changing the wheel:
- have the tightening of the bolts and the tyre pressure checked by a PEUGEOT dealer as soonas possible,
- have the punctured wheel repaired and refit it to the vehi-cle as soon as possible.
To fit the wheel After positioning the wheel, pre- tighten the bolts using the wheel-brace. Lower the jack and remove it.Fully tighten the wheel bolts using the wheelbrace. Fit the wheel trim starting with the section by the valve and press intoplace using the palm of the hand.
Removing the wheel Park the vehicle on level, stable and non-slippery ground. Apply the handbrake, engage first gear or reverse (position
Pfor the
automatic gearbox). Remove the wheel trim by using the wheelbrace and pulling next to thevalve.
Warning: your wheel trims are fitted
with dummy nuts. Do not use them to remove your wheel trims.
Loosen the wheel bolts. Place the jack in the location designed for it, as close as possible to thewheel to be changed. Ensure that the whole of the base of the jack is in contact with the ground. Extend the jack, fully loosen the wheel bolts and remove the wheel. Refitting the wheel in thecarrier
Raise the wheel, then the carrier, and resecure it on the hook. Do not forget to fully tighten the spare wheel carrier securing bolt.

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.
