BATTERY
To charge the battery using a battery charger:
Ð Disconnect the battery,
Ð Follow the instructions for use given by the battery charger manufacturer,
Ð Reconnect starting with the negative (Ð) terminal,
Ð Check that the terminals and connectors are clean. If they are covered with sul-
phate (white or greenish deposit), disconnect them and clean them.
To start the vehicle from another battery:
Ð Connect the red cable to the positive (+) terminals of the two batteries,
Ð Connect one end of the green or black cable to the negative (Ð) terminal of the slave battery,
Ð Connect the other end of the green or black cable to an earth point on the bro- ken down vehicle as far as possible from the battery,
Operate the starter, let the engine run.
Wait for the engine to return to idle, then disconnect the cables.
It is advisable to disconnect the battery if the vehicle is not to be used for a period of more than one month.Ð Before disconnectingthe battery, you must wait for 2 minutes afterswitching off the ignition.
Ð Never disconnect a terminal when the engine is running.
Ð Never charge a battery without first disconnecting the terminals.
Ð
Close the windows and retractableroof before disconnecting the bat-
tery. If the windows do not operatenormally following reconnection of
the battery, they must be reini-tialised (see section "Reinitialisationof the electric windows)
.
Ð After every reconnection of the battery, switch on the ignition andwait 1 minute before starting toallow the electronic systems tobe initialised. If slight difficultiesare experienced after this,please contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.

TOWING YOUR VEHICLE
Without lifting (4 wheels on the ground)
You must always use a tow bar. The removable towing eye is inside the spare wheel. From the front:
Unclip the cover, by pressing the bottom part,
Screw in the towing eye as far as it will go.
From the rear: Unclip the top of the cover using a coin,
Screw in the towing eye as far as it will go.
Lifting (2 wheels only on the ground) It is preferable to raise the vehicle with a professional lifting device. Special features of the automatic gearbox When towing with four wheels on the ground, the following rules must beobeyed:
Ð lever in position
N,
Ð tow the vehicle at less than 30 mph (50 km/h) over a maximum dis- tance of 30 miles (50 km).
Ð do not add oil to the gearbox.
When towing with theengine switched off, thereis no braking or steeringassistance.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION145
TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT etc.
Only use original PEUGEOT tow bars that have been tested andapproved from the design stage ofyour 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 be particu-larly careful. Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine performance.Above 1 000 metres, the maximumtowing load must be reduced by
10 % and so on for every
1 000 metres of altitude. The rear parking assistance function will be disarmed automatically whena towbar is fitted.Driving advice Distribution of loads:
Distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to theaxle and the nose weight approach-es the maximum permitted withoutexceeding 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 towing vehicle and of the trailer,observing the recommended pres-sures. Braking: towing increases the braking
distance.Lights: check the electrical sig-
nalling on the trailer.Side winds: take into acount the
increased sensitivity to side wind.
