Without lifting (four wheels on the ground)
You must always use a tow bar. From the front or the rear Attach the tow bar to the towing eye. By lifting (two wheels only on the ground) It is preferable to lift the vehicle by the wheels. Special features of the automatic gearboxes When towing with all four wheels on the ground, the following rules mustbe adhered to:
- gear lever in position
N,
- tow the vehicle at a speed less than 30 mph (50 km/h) over a dis- tance of not more than 30 miles(50 km),
- do not add oil to the gearbox. BOOT LUGGAGE CARRIER*
A boot luggage carrier is available
from your PEUGEOT dealer. This equipment is not compatible
with the fitting of a rear spoiler. When it is used, take care not to conceal the third brake light. Follow the manufacturer's recom- mendations.
* Available as an accessory.
TOWING YOUR VEHICLE

TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT etc.
Only use original PEUGEOT tow bars that have been tested andapproved from the design stage of
your vehicle. The tow bar must be
fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for transporting people and luggagebut it may also be used for towing a
trailer. Driving with a trailer subjects the towing vehicle to more significantstress and its driver must beparticularly careful. Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine performance.Above 1000 metres, the maximumtowing 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 pos-sible to the axle and the nose weightapproaches the maximum permittedwithout 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 dependenton the 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 engineas 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 sensitivity to side wind.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE
To preserve the paintwork and the plastic trim on your vehicle, we rec-ommend that you wash them regu-
larly.
- by hand: there are no specific pre-
cautions to take;
- using an automatic car wash: repeated use of poorly maintained automatic car washes can lead tothe appearance of microscopicscratches which give the paint-work a matt appearance (espe-cially visible on dark colours);
- using a high pressure washer: always follow the recommenda-tions on the equipment (pressureand spraying distance). If there are damaged areas on the vehicle (painted bumpers orheadlamps), it is not recommend-ed to direct the high pressure jet
onto them. Wash these areas byhand. Also avoid the entry of water into the locks.
For all questions relating to themaintenance of your vehicle, con-tact an approved dealer who canadvise you on quality productsselected by our departments. Clean off bird droppings,resinous deposits, tarstains and grease marks assoon as possible; (these all
contain substances which cancause serious damage to thepaintwork).
- 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 in aprotective 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 result ofaccidental damage (stone chips,scratches etc.), have them
repaired swiftly.

Manual operation of the roof (emergency mode) In the event of
an electric or
hydraulic malfunction of the roof, it is
possible to close this manually.Thisis an emergency solution .
If at all possible, this operation isto be carried out by two people. Park the vehicle on level ground.
Lower the windows.
Switch off the ignition.
Take the key out of the ignition.
Apply the handbrake.
Open the boot lid.
When closing the roof, take care not to pinch yourhands in the mechanism.
Unhook the screen and release it while holding it steady.
Take the Allen key out of the repair aerosols insulated box 2.
Push the Allen key 3firmly into the pressure release screw 4, then unscrew
it a quarter turn to the left.

Go to the rear left of the vehicle then take the moving shelf 5in your left hand.
With you right hand, insert the Allen key into the opening 6fully (shelf release).
Tilt the assembly downwards while supporting theshelf.
Remove the Allen key and place it outside the boot.
Let go of the shelf which will tilt completely.Press the catch 7while lifting the boot lid then put the
assembly down gently (repeat this operation on the other side of the lid).
Close the boot lid.
From the right rear side of the vehicle, open the boot lid8completely.
