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.
Ð Never disconnect a ter- minal when the engine is running.
Ð Never charge a battery without first disconnecting the terminals.
Ð After every reconnection of the battery, switch on the ignition andwait 1 minute before starting toallow the electronic systems to beinitialised. If slight difficulties areexperienced after this, please
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
It is advisable to disconnect the battery if the vehicle is not to be used for a period of more than one month.

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 luggage butit 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 maximum
towing load must be reduced by 10 %
and so on for every 1 000 metres ofaltitude.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 approachesthe 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 recommendedpressures. Braking: Towing increases the
braking distance. Lights: Check the electrical signal-
ling on the trailer.Side wind: Take into acount the
increased sensitivity to side wind.

Filling the LPG/CNG tank (Capacity of approximately 60 litres for the LPG and 160 litres for theCNG)
Ð switch off the ignition,
Ð unscrew the cap protecting the filleropening, turning it anticlockwise,
Ð lock the filler nozzle onto the opening (if necessary, screw the appropriate adapter* onto the filleropening first),
Ð push the button on the pump,
Ð once filling has stopped automati- cally, unlock the filler nozzle,
Ð screw the protective cap back onto the filler opening, turning it clock- wise.
* According to destination. Petrol gauge When the low petrol level indicator comes on, fill the tank without delayas the engine can only start usingpetrol. Furthermore, a low petrol levelmay result in fuel circuit faults. LPG/CNG gauge The LPG/CNG level in the tank is represented by a group
4, consisting
of four green indicator lights and a redindicator light. This red indicator light comes on to indicate use of the LPG/CNG reservewhich provides you with a range of
approximately 25 miles (40 km) .
If the outside temperature is high, theLPG/CNG gauge may indicate aslightly higher quantity of gas than theactual level.

Safety advice The safety valve must be closed before any mainte-nance or repair work is
carried out on your vehicle. Toclose it, switch off the ignition. Ensure that there is no risk that the loads carried may damage thetank.
Testing the tank The service life of the tanks is
20 years. They are certified correctfor normal use during this period.
In application of regulation 110R00, a check must be carried out every3 years (visual inspection of thesolenoid valve and of the tank).The check must be carried out by
an approved body, in accordancewith the national regulations inforce. It is imperative that any work on the LPG/CNG feed system is carried
out by a PEUGEOT dealer.
