TOWING YOUR VEHICLE
Without lifting (4 wheels on the road)
You should always use a tow bar.
The removable towing eye is inside the engine compartment.
From the front: Unclip the cover by pressing the bottom part.
Screw in the removable towing eye until it locks.
From the rear: Unclip the top of the cover using a coin,
Screw in the removable towing eye until it locks.
Lifting (2 wheels on the road only)
It is preferable to raise the vehicle using professional lifti ng equipment.
When towing with the
engine switched off,
there is no braking or
steering assistance.
Special features of the
automatic gearbox
When being towed with four wheels
on the road, it is essential to observe
the following rules:
selector lever in position
N,
tow the vehicle at a speed below 30 mph (50 km/h) over a distance
limited to 30 miles (50 km)
maximum,
do not add oil to the gearbox.

TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT ETC...
Only use original PEUGEOT tow
bars which have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
your vehicle.
The tow bar must be fitted by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Driving advice
Distribution of loads: distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heaviest
loads 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 electronically con
trolled, 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.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant temperature. Note:
in certain cases of particularly
arduous use (towing the maximum
load up a steep slope in high tem
peratures), the engine automatically
limits its power. In this case, cutting
off the air conditioning allows the
engine power to be recovered, and
therefore the towing speed to be sig
nificantly increased (approximately
12mph [20 km/h] more).
If the coolant temperature warning
light comes on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as soon as pos
sible.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures
of the towing vehicle and of the trail
er, observing the recommended
pressure.
Brakes: towing increases the brak
ing 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. Lighting
Manual adjustment
Adjust your headlamps so as not to
dazzle other road users (see section
on ''Manual adjustment of head
lamps''). Check the electrical sig
nalling of the trailer.
Automatic beam correction
For vehicles with Xenon bulbs, this
system automatically corrects the
height of the beam, whatever the
load of the vehicle. The driver is then
assured of having optimum lighting
and not causing a nuisance to other
road users.

USING ROOF BARS
To use the transverse roof bars, release the four locking levers provi ded for this
purpose.
Slide them in their rails to the appropriate position.
Lock the four locking levers located at the base of the feet of each bar.
Note: when the roof bars are not in use, position them at the rea r stop to avoid
excess consumption.
Use accessories approved by Automobiles PEUGEOT and follow the manufa c
turer's fitting instructions.
Maximum authorised weight on the roof rack 220 lbs. (100 k g)Removal and refitting of the
roof bars
– Remove the bolt, the stop and the two washers at each location A.
– Move the bars to the locations A.
– Lift the two bars to remove them.
– Imperative: refit the bolt, the stop
and the two washers at each loca
tion A.
To refit, proceed in the reverse order.
