Engine autodiagnostics system.
The lighting of this warning light
indicates the occurrence of a
fault in the engine management
system.
Flashing of this warning light indicates
the occurrence of a fault in the emission
control system.
Engine oil pressure.
The lighting of this warning light
indicates the occurrence of a
fault in the engine lubrication
circuit. It is imperative that the vehicle is
stopped as soon as it is safe to do so. Battery charge.
The lighting of this warning light
indicates the occurrence of a
fault in the battery charging cir-
cuit (dirty or loose terminals, slack or
cut alternator belt, ...).
Braking.
The lighting of this warning light
indicates the occurrence of a fault
in one of the braking systems:
- signifi cant drop in the level in the circuit,
- electronic brake force distribution (EBFD) faulty (if lit at the same time
as the ABS warning light).
It is imperative that the vehicle is stopped as soon as it is safe to do so.
If the vehicle is moving, check that the
handbrake has been released fully.
Low fuel level.
The lighting of this warning light
indicates that there is enough
fuel left to drive approximately
30 miles (50 km).
The capacity of the fuel tank is approxi-
mately 50 litres. Maximum coolant
temperature.
The lighting of this warning light
indicates an excessively high
temperature in the cooling system. It is
imperative that the vehicle is stopped
as soon as it is safe to do so.
Door open.
A door, the boot or the bonnet
is still open:
Seat belt not fastened/
unfastened. The lighting of this warning light
indicates that the driver has not
fastened his seat belt or has
unfastened it.
- if the speed is below 6 mph (10 km/h),
this warning light comes on continu-
ously,
-
if the speed is above 6 mph (10 km/h),
this warning light comes on continuously,
accompanied by an audible signal.

Dynamic stability control
(ESP/ASR).
This warning light comes on for
a few seconds each time the
ignition is switched on.
When the engine is running and the
vehicle is moving, it comes on if the sys-
tem is activated.

TOWING A TRAILER,
A CARAVAN, ETC.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer. Driving advice
In the case of vehicles equipped with an
HDI engine, it is recommended that the
engine is left running at idle for approxi-
mately 20 seconds after intensive use
(towing on a motorway, prolonged driv-
ing, ...) before the ignition is switched off.
This limits increases in the temperature
of the engine after it is switched off.

Note: in certain cases of particularly ar-
duous use (towing the maximum load
in high temperatures), the engine lim-
its its power automatically. In this case,
switching off the air conditioning will
regain engine power and therefore in-
crease the towing capacity.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
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.
Side wind

 Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind. 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.
 If the warning light and the

STOP warning light come
on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as
soon as possible.
Towbar suited to the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional signal-
ling and lighting.
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.
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 t-
ting of the towbar is entrusted to a
PEUGEOT dealer.
If the trailer 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. Driving with a trailer subjects the towing
vehicle to more signifi cant stress and its
driver must be particularly careful.
