Towing a trailer
Good Practice
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a
steep slope in high temperatures), the
engine automatically limits its power. In
this case, the automatic cutting off of
the air conditioning allows the engine
power to be recovered.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures
of the towing vehicle (see the
"Identifi cation features" section of
chapter 9) and of the trailer, observing
the recommended pressure.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 7.
If the coolant temperature
warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the
engine as soon as possible.

Brakes
Towing increases the braking distance.
Drive at a moderate speed, change
down early and brake gradually. Towbar
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars and their
harnesses, which have been tested
and approved from the design stage of
your vehicle, and that you entrust the
fi tting of this equipment to a PEUGEOT
dealer.
If this equipment is not fi tted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative that
it is fi tted using the electrical pre-
equipment installed at the rear of the
vehicle and in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
In accordance with the general
instructions a reminder of which has
been given above, we draw your
attention to the risk linked with fi tting
a towbar or electrical accessory not
recommended by PEUGEOT . Fitting
such equipment could result in the
failure of your vehicle’s electronic
system. Please contact a PEUGEOT
dealer for information before fi tting this
type of equipment. OTHER ACCESSORIES
These accessories and parts, having
been tested and approved for reliability
and safety, are all adapted to your
vehicle. A wide range of recommended
accessories and original parts is
offered.
Range of professional
equipment
The parts department publishes an
accessories catalogue offering various
equipment and fi ttings, such as:
Load retainers (all models).
Loading roller.
Towbar, towbar harness: trailer towbar
which must be fi tted by the PEUGEOT
network.
Separation partitions and grilles,
smooth, non-slip wooden protective
fl oor.
Protective grilles.

Side wind
Sensitivity to side wind is increased.
Drive smoothly and at a moderate
speed.
ABS/ESP
The ABS or ESP systems only control
the vehicle, not the trailer or caravan.

Rear parking assistance
The assistance does not function while
the vehicle is towing.
Another range is also available,
structured around comfort, leisure and
maintenance:

Levels

Oil change
It is imperative that this is carried
out at the intervals specifi ed and the
viscosity grade of the oil selected must
fulfi l the requirements in accordance
with the manufacturer’s servicing
schedule. Consult the instructions at a
PEUGEOT dealer .
Remove the dipstick before fi lling.
Check the level after fi lling (never
exceed the max mark).
Screw the cap back onto the sump
before closing the bonnet. Changing the brake fluid
The brake fl uid must be changed at
the intervals stated, according to the
manufacturer’s servicing schedule.
Use fl uids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfi l DOT4
standards.
The level must be between the MIN
and MAX marks on the reservoir.
If fl uid has to be added frequently,
this indicates a failure which must be
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer as
soon as possible.
Warning lights
If you have to remove/refi t the
engine style cover, handle it with
care to avoid damaging the fi xing
clips.
Oil level
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes. The maximum
consumption is 0.5 litre per 600 miles
(1 000 km).
Check the level with the vehicle level,
engine cold, using the dipstick.
Dipstick
There are two marks on
the dipstick:
A = maximum
If you fi ll past this mark,
consult a PEUGEOT
dealer .

B = minimum
Never allow the level to
fall below this mark.
To maintain the reliability
of engines and emission
control systems, the use
of additives in engine oil
is prohibited. Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must meet
the manufacturer’s requirements.
These regular maintenance
operations will keep your vehicle
in good running order. Consult the
instructions at a PEUGEOT dealer or
in the servicing booklet enclosed in the
handbook pack.
Checking by means of the warning
lights on the instrument panel is
described in chapter 2, refer to the
"Instruments and controls" section.

Checks

CHECKS
Carbon filter and passenger
compartment filter
An access fl ap below the glove box
permits replacement of the fi lters.
The carbon fi lter permits continuous
and effective fi ltering of dust.
If the passenger compartment fi lter
becomes clogged, this may reduce
the performance of the air conditioning
system and generate unpleasant
odours.
We recommend the use of a combined
passenger compartment fi lter. By
means of its second special active
fi lter, it contributes to the purifi cation
of the air breathed by the occupants
and the cleanness of the passenger
compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, unpleasant odours and
greasy deposits). Particle emission filter (Diesel)
It is imperative that particle emission
fi lter maintenance is carried out by a
PEUGEOT dealer .
On acceleration after the vehicle has
been running for a prolonged period
at very low speed or at idle, you may,
in exceptional circumstances, notice
the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust. This water vapour does not
have any adverse effect on vehicle
handling or the environment.
Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer .
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style
of driving, in particular for vehicles
which are used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
check the thickness of the pads, even
between services.
Unless there is a leak on the circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.
Brake disc/drum wear status
For any information relating to
checking the brake disc/drum wear
status, consult a PEUGEOT dealer .
Handbrake
Where the handbrake travel is too
great or there is a reduction in the
performance of the system, the
handbrake should be adjusted, even
between services.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer .
Oil filter
Change the fi lter regularly in
accordance with the servicing
schedule.
Refer to the servicing booklet to fi nd
out the replacement interval for these
components.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the
vehicle (urban driving...), change them
twice as often if necessary.

Changing a wheel
1. PARKING THE VEHICLE
- It is imperative that you ensure that the occupants get out of the vehicle
and wait in a safe location.
- If possible, park the vehicle on level, stable and non-slippery
ground.
- Apply the handbrake, switch off the ignition and engage fi rst or reverse
gear. - If available, place a chock under
the wheel diagonally opposite the
one to be changed.
If the vehicle is fi tted with a towbar;
it is sometimes necessary to raise
the vehicle slightly to make it easier
to remove the spare wheel from its
carrier.
On certain types of ground and/or
if considerable loads are being
transported, call a PEUGEOT dealer.
CHANGING A WHEEL
2. TOOLS
- Open the lid of the storage compartment located under the
seat on the right-hand side. If
necessary, move the seat forward
to access the storage compartment
from the rear.

Weights
WEIGHTS AND TOWED LOADS (KG)
General points The GTW and towed load values
indicated are valid up to a maximum
altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed
load mentioned must be reduced by
10 % for each additional 1 000 metres.
GTW: gross train weight

GVW: gross vehicle weight

MOM: kerb weight

CVA: vertical load on the towbar
The speed of a towing vehicle must not
exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) (comply with
the legislation in force in your country).
The braked towed weight with load
transfer can be increased on condition
that the equivalent of this load is
removed from the vehicle so that the
GTW is not exceeded. Warning: towing
using a lightly loaded towing vehicle
may have an adverse effect on its road
holding. High exterior temperatures may result
in a reduction in the performance of the
vehicle in order to protect the engine;
when the exterior temperature is higher
than 37 °C, limit the towed weight.
The kerb weight is equal to the weight
without load + driver (75 kg) + fuel tank
fi lled to 90 %.
For further information, consult your
registration certifi cate.
In each country, it is imperative that
the towed loads authorised by local
legislation are complied with. To fi nd
out your vehicle’s towing capacities
and its gross train weight, consult a
PEUGEOT dealer.
