CHANGING A WINDSCREEN
WIPER BLADE
Placing the wiper blades in the
maintenance position Within one minute of switching off
the ignition, operate the wipers
stalk to position the wiper blades
in the centre of the windscreen
(maintenance position).
Changing a wiper blade Lift the wiper arm, then unclip the
blade and remove it.
Fit the new blade and push back
the arm.
Note : the shortest blade is fitted on
the vehicle's right hand windscreen
wiper arm.
To return the windscreen wipers
to their normal position, switch on
the ignition and operate the wiper
stalk. ECONOMY MODE FUNCTION
After the engine has stopped, certain
functions (windscreen wiper, electric
windows, sunroof, courtesy lights,
audio equipment etc.) can only be
used for thirty minutes, to prevent
discharging the battery.
After thirty minutes, the message
"Economy mode active"
appears
on the multi–function display and the
active functions are put on standby.
To resume use of these functions,
start the engine and let it run for a
few seconds. LOAD REDUCTION FUNCTION
When driving, certain functions (air
conditioning, heated rear screen,
heating system for passenger com
partment of diesel vehicles, etc.)
may be switched off temporarily,
depending on the level of battery
charge.
Reactivation of these functions is
automatic, once the battery charge is
sufficient.
Note:
at the risk of discharging the
battery, the functions that have been
switched off may be reactivated
manually.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION 155
A flat battery will prevent
the engine from starting.

TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT etc.
Only use original PEUGEOT tow
bars that have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
your vehicle. The tow bar must be fit
ted by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Your vehicle is basically designed for
transporting people and luggage but it
may also be used for towing a trailer.
Driving with a trailer subjects the
towing vehicle to more significant
stress and its driver must be particu
larly careful.
Air density decreases with altitude,
thus reducing engine performance.
Above 1000 metres, the maximum
towing load must be reduced by 10%
and so on for every 1000 metres of
altitude.Driving advice
Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer so
that the heaviest items are as close
as possible to the axle and the nose
weight approaches the maximum
permitted without exceeding it.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the temperature of the coolant.
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.
The maximum towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and
the 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
as soon as possible.Tyres
Check the tyre pressures of the tow
ing vehicle and of the trailer, observ
ing the recommended pressures.
Braking
Towing increases the braking distance.
Lights
Check the electrical signalling on the
trailer.
Side wind
Take into acount the increased sen
sitivity to side wind.
