experienced after this, please
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
If electrical work is carried
out, disconnect the starter battery.
It is advisable to disconnect the battery if the vehicle is
not to be used for a period of more than one month.

Vehicles fitted with
two batteries*
Certain vehicles, depending on the
country where the vehicle is sold, are
fitted with two batteries:
– a battery for starting, located in the engine compartment,
– a service battery, located in the boot.
The starter battery has a label show
ing that the service battery* is in the
boot.
These are special batteries.
If one of them is replaced, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.

a battery charger:
remove the style cover to gain
access to the starter battery,
disconnect the battery.
Follow the instructions for use
given by the battery charger
manufacturer,

connectors are clean. If they are
covered with sulphate (whitish or
greenish deposit), disconnect and
clean them,
 refit the style cover. To start the vehicle from another
battery: 
remove the style cover to gain
access to the starter battery,
 remove the maxi fuse located
near to the starter battery,
 connect the red cable to the posi
tive (+) terminals of the two batter
ies,
 connect one end of the green or
black cable to the negative () ter
minal of the additional battery,
 connect the other end of the green
or black cable to an earth point on
the vehicle which has broken
down, as far as possible from the
battery,
 start the engine and let it run,
 wait for the engine to return to idle
then disconnect the cables,
 drive a few kilometres in order to

T
OWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT ETC...
Only use original PEUGEOTtow
bars which have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
your vehicle.
The tow bar must be fitted by a
PEUGEOTdealer.
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 trailer,
observing the recommended pres
sure.
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.
In cases of malfunction, the driver is
alerted by means of the warning light
on the instrument panel.
In this situation the system adjusts
your headlamps to the low position.
