Press this button to stop air
cooling.
The symbol ECO is dis-
played.
Automatic operation of the air condi-
tioning is resumed when the button
is pressed again. The symbol A/C is
displayed.

Temperature-related comfort and de-
misting are no longer guaranteed but

of air completely, press the air intake
button 7.
Press this button for recir-
culation of the interior air.
Recirculation, shown on the
display, enables the pas-
senger compartment to be insulated
from exterior odours and smoke.
Avoid prolonged recirculation of inte-
rior air (risk of condensation and de-
t e r i o r a t i o n o f t h e a i r q u a l i t y ) .
Press the button again to resume
automatic management of the intake
of air.
Notes
To prevent condensation on the in-
side of the vehicle in cold or wet
weather, you are advised to avoid
using the
ECO mode.
To guarantee correct operation of
your air conditioning system, we also
recommend that you have it checked
regularly.

CHECKING THE LEVELS
There are two marks on
the dipstick:
A = maximum
N e v e r i l l p a s t t h i s m a r k .
B = minimum
To maintain the reliability
of engines and emission
control systems, the use
of additives in engine oil
is prohibited.
Oil change
According to the information given in
the servicing booklet.
Note: avoid used oil coming into
prolonged contact with the skin.
Empty the used oil into the contain-
ers intended for this purpose in the
PEUGEOT network. Brake fluid level:

In all cases, the oil selected must

ments. Cooling system

manufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. As this fan can
operate with the ignition key removed
and because the cooling system is
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by two turns to re-
lease the pressure to prevent any
risk of scalding. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and
top up the level.
Note:
the coolant does not need to
be changed.

on the instrument panel or the dip-
stick.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

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
y o u r v e h i c l e a n d t h a t t h e i t t i n g o f t h e
towbar is entrusted to a PEUGEOT
dealer.

ing 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-
i n g v e h i c l e t o m o r e s i g n i i c a n t s t r e s s
and its driver must be particularly
careful.
Air density decreases with altitude,
thus reducing engine performance.

altitude. 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.
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-
o u s u s e ( t o w i n g t h e m a x i m u m l o a d
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.
