Parking the vehicle
- If possible, park the vehicle on level, stable and non-slippery
ground.
- It is imperative that you ensure that the occupants get out of the vehi-
cle and wait in a safe location.
- Apply the handbrake, switch off the ignition and engage fi rst or
reverse gear (position R for the
"2 Tronic" gearbox).
CHANGING A WHEEL

1. Jack with integrated handle.

2. Chock.

3. Wheelbrace.

4. Extension.

5. "Bolt cover" tool.

6. Removable towing eye. Access to the spare wheel and
the jack
The wheel is located outside the ve-
hicle, under the rear fl oor, supported
by a metal carrier.
- Unclip the cover to gain access
to the spare wheel carrier retain-
ing bolt, located on the inside
near the closing system.
- Using the wheelbrace 3 and the
extension 4 , slacken the spare
wheel carrier retaining bolt.
- Lift the carrier to release the hook rearwards, then lower it.
- Remove the spare wheel and the box.
- Remove the jack 1 from the box.
Tools provided
The jack is stored in a box in the cen-
tre of the spare wheel. The chock is
fi xed on the side of the box.
The other tools are stored in a case
in the left boot trim.
Note: if your vehicle is fi tted with a
towbar, the case is stored in the left
storage tray (located in the fl oor of
the rear footwell).

TOWING YOUR VEHICLE
From the rear:

 Unclip the side of the cover using
the fl at part of the towing eye,

 Screw in the towing eye until it
locks. When towing with the en-
gine switched off, there is no
braking assistance.
Special features of
the "2 Tronic" gearbox
When towing with four wheels on the
ground, the following rules must be
obeyed:
- gear lever in position
N ,
- tow the vehicle at less than 30 mph (50 km/h) over a maxi-
mum distance of 30 miles (50 km).
- do not add oil to the gearbox.
From the front:

 Unclip the bottom of the cover,
using the fl at part of the towing
eye.

 Screw in the towing eye until it
locks. Lifting
(2 wheels only on the road)
It is preferable to raise the vehicle by
the wheels.

Never use the radiator crossmember.
Without lifting
(4 wheels on the road)
You should always use a towbar.
The removable towing eye is stored
in the tool case, located in the left
boot trim.
Vehicles fitted with a manual
gearbox (diesel version)
In the case of vehicles fi tted with a
manual gearbox, the gear lever must
be in the neutral position.
Failure to observe this special condi-
tion may result in damage to certain
braking components and the absence
of braking assistance the next time
the engine is started.

TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, etc.
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars and their har-
nesses that have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
your vehicle and that the fi tting of the
towbar is entrusted to a PEUGEOT
dealer.
If the towbar 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, in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
Your vehicle is primarily designed
for transporting people and luggage
but it may also be used for towing a
trailer.
Driving with a trailer subjects the tow-
ing vehicle to more signifi cant stress
and its driver must be particularly
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 of
altitude.
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.
On the contrary, use a high gear to
lower the engine speed and reduce
your speed.
The maximum towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and
the outside temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the cool-
ant temperature.
In certain cases of particularly ardu-
ous use (towing the maximum load
on a steep gradient in high tempera-
tures), switching off the air condition-
ing permits the recovery of engine
power and therefore an increase in
the towing capacity.
If the warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the engine
as 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 brak-
ing distance.

Lights: Check the electrical signal-
ling on the trailer.

Side wind: Take into account the in-
creased sensitivity to side wind.
FITTING ROOF BARS
When fi tting transverse or longitudi-
nal roof bars, use the accessories
recommended by PEUGEOT and
follow the manufacturer's fi tting in-
structions.
For further information, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.

Maximum authorised weight on
the roof bars: 60 kg
Please refer to national legislation in
order to comply with the regula-
tions concerning the transportation of
objects which are longer than the
vehicle.
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 approach-
es the maximum permitted without
exceeding it.
