PRACTICAL INFORMATION
135
Do not disconnect the terminals
while the engine is running.
Do not charge the batteries without
disconnecting the terminals first.
Do not push the vehicle to start the
engine if it is fitted with a "2 Tronic"
gearbox.
Before disconnecting the
battery
Wait 2 minutes after switching off
the ignition before disconnecting
the battery.
Close the windows, the sunroof
and the doors before disconnecting
the battery.
Following reconnection of the
battery
Following reconnection of the
battery, switch on the ignition
and wait 1 minute before starting
to permit initialisation of the
electronic systems. However, if
slight difficulties are encountered
following this operation, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.
The batteries contain harmful
substances such as sulphuric acid
and lead. They must be disposed of
in accordance with regulations and
must not, in any circumstances, be
discarded with household waste.
Take used remote control batteries
and vehicle batteries to a special
collection point.Charging the battery using a
battery charger

Disconnect the battery from the
vehicle.
 Follow the instructions for use
provided by the manufacturer of the
charger.
 Reconnect starting with the negative
terminal (-).
 Check that the terminals and
connectors are clean. If they are
covered with sulphate (whitish or
greenish deposit), remove them and
clean them.
At the risk of discharging the
battery, the deactivated functions
can be reactivated manually.
LOAD REDUCTION MODE
System which manages the use of
certain functions in relation to the level
of charge remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the
load reduction function temporarily
deactivates certain functions, such as
the air conditioning, the rear screen de-
icing...
The deactivated functions are
reactivated automatically as soon as
conditions permit.
It is advisable to disconnect the
battery if the vehicle is to be left
unused for more than one month.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
136
A flat battery prevents the
engine from starting (refer to the
corresponding paragraph).
If the telephone is being used at
this time, it will still be possible to
finish the call.
ENERGY ECONOMY MODE
System which manages the duration of
use of certain functions to conserve a
sufficient level of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can
still use functions such as the audio
equipment, windscreen wipers, courtesy
lights, etc. for a combined duration of
thirty minutes.
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated
automatically next time the vehicle is
driven.
 In order to resume the use of
these functions immediately, start
the engine and let it run for a few
minutes.
The time available to you will then be
double the duration for which the engine
is left running. However, this period
will always be between five and thirty
minutes.
Switching to economy mode
Once the thirty minutes are over, a
message appears on the multi-function
display indicating that the vehicle has
switched to economy mode and the
active functions are put on standby.
CHANGING A WIPER BLADE
Procedure for replacing a worn wiper
blade with a new one without the use
of tools.
Removing a front or rear wiper
blade
 Raise the corresponding wiper arm.
 Unclip the wiper blade and remove
it.
Fitting a front or rear wiper
blade
 At the front, check the size of the
wiper blade as the shorter blade is
fitted on the right-hand side of the
vehicle.
 Put the corresponding new wiper
blade in place and clip it.
 Fold down the wiper arm.

TOWING THE VEHICLE
Procedure for having your vehicle towed
or for towing another vehicle using a
removable towing eye.
Access to the toolsTowing your vehicle

On the front bumper, unclip the cover
by pressing at the bottom.
 Screw the towing eye in fully.
 Install the towbar.
 Switch on the hazard warning lights
on the towed vehicle. 
On the rear bumper, unclip the cover
by pressing at the bottom.
 Screw the towing eye in fully.
 Install the towbar.
 Switch on the hazard warning lights
on the towed vehicle.
Towing another vehicle
The towing eye is installed in the boot
under the floor.
To gain access to it:
 open the boot,
 raise the floor,
 secure it by hooking its cord on the
hook on the shelf support,
 remove the towing eye from the
holder. When towing with all four wheels on
the ground, always use a towbar.
When towing with only two
wheels on the ground, always use
professional lifting equipment.
When towing with the engine off,
there is no longer any braking or
steering assistance.

Place the gear lever in neutral
(position N on the "2 Tronic"
gearbox).

TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN,
etc.
Towbar suited to the attachment of
a trailer or caravan with additional
signalling and lighting.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer.
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars that have been
tested and approved from the design
stage of your vehicle and that the
fitting of the towbar is entrusted to a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Driving with a trailer subjects the towing
vehicle to more significant stress and its
driver must be particularly careful.
Driving advice
Distribution of loads
 Distribute the load in the trailer so
that the heaviest items are as close
as possible to the axle and the nose
weight approaches the maximum
permitted without exceeding it.
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 of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for
details of the weights and towing loads
which apply to your vehicle. In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
Side wind
 Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.
 To lower the engine speed, reduce
your speed.
The maximum towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and the
outside temperature. Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
Tyres

Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing
the recommended pressures.
Lights
 Check the electrical signalling on the
trailer.
The rear parking assistance will
be deactivated automatically if
a genuine PEUGEOT towbar is
used. 
I
f the warning light and the
STOP warning light come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.

FITTING ROOF BARS
When fitting transverse roof bars, use
the four quick-fit fixings provided for this
purpose:
 lift the concealing flaps,
 adjust the roof bar quick-fit fixings. Maximum authorised weight on
the roof rack, for a loading height
not exceeding 40 cm (with the
exception of bicycle carriers):
65 kg.
If the height exceeds 40 cm,
adapt the speed of the vehicle
to the profile of the road to avoid
damaging the roof bars and the
fixings on the roof.
Be sure to refer to national
legisation in order to comply with
the regulations for transporting
objects which are longer than the
vehicle.
