The electrical system of your
vehicle is designed to oper-
ate with standard or optional
equipment.
Before installing other electrical equip-
ment or accessories on your vehicle,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
PEUGEOT will not accept responsi-
bility for the cost incurred in repairing
your vehicle or for rectifying the mal-
functions resulting from the installa-
tion of accessories not supplied and
not recommended by PEUGEOT and
not installed in accordance with its
instructions, in particular when the
combined consumption of all of the ad-
ditional equipment connected exceeds
10 milliamperes.
The maxi-fuses provide additional
protection for the electrical systems.
All work must be carried out by a
PEUGEOT dealer. CHANGING A WINDSCREEN WIPER BLADE ECONOMY MODE FUNCTION
After the engine has stopped, certain
electrical functions can be used for a
maximum duration of approximately
one hour, to prevent discharging of the
battery.
A fl at battery prevents the
engine from starting.
As winter approaches, have your bat-
tery checked by a PEUGEOT dealer. If the telephone is being used
when economy mode starts,
it will still be possible to fi nish
the call.
Placing the wiper blades in the
maintenance position


Less than one minute after switching
off the ignition, press the windscreen
wiper stalk down once to position the
blades at the top of the windscreen
(maintenance position).
Replacing a blade

 Lift the arm, then unclip the blade
and remove it.

 Fit the new blade and fold down
the arm.
To reposition the blades, switch on the
ignition and operate the windscreen
wiper stalk. This period may be signifi -
cantly reduced if the battery
charge is low.
Once the hour is over, a message ap-
pears on the multi-function display
and the active functions are put on
standby.
These functions are automatically re-
activated when the vehicle is started.

To start the vehicle from another
battery:
-
Connect the red cable to the posi-
tive (+) terminals of the two batteries,
- Connect one end of the green or black cable to the negative (-)
terminal of the slave battery,
- Connect the other end of the green or black cable to an earth point on
the broken down vehicle as far as
possible from the battery,
- Operate the starter, let the engine run,
- Wait for the engine to return to idle, then disconnect the cables.
BATTERY (LOCATED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT)
Disconnecting/Reconnecting
the cables

1. Raise the locking plate A .

2. Position the open clip of the cable
on the positive (+) terminal of the
battery.

3. Press until the position checking
system B tilts.

4. Lock the clip by lowering the locking
plate while pressing on the clip.
It is advisable to disconnect
the battery if the vehicle is not
to be used for a period of more
than one month.
To charge the battery using a
battery charger:
- Disconnect the battery,
- Follow the instructions for use
given by the battery charger
manufacturer,
- Reconnect starting with the nega- tive (-) terminal,
- Check that the terminals and connectors are clean. If they are
covered with sulphate (white or
greenish deposit), disconnect them
and clean them.
Do not force the plate as lock-
ing is not possible if the clip is
not positioned correctly.
Start the procedure again.

In all cases, pay attention to the cool-
ant temperature. Lighting TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...
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 the
towbar to a PEUGEOT dealer.
If the towbar is not fi tted by a PEUGEOT
dealer, it is imperative that it is fi tted us-
ing the electrical pre-equipment installed
at the rear of the vehicle, in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Driving advice

Distribution of loads: distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heavi-
est loads are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight is close
to the maximum authorised without,
however, exceeding it.

Cooling: towing a trailer on a slope in-
creases the coolant temperature.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.
In the case of vehicles fi tted with an
HDI engine, it is advisable, following
intensive use (towing on a motorway,
prolonged driving, ...), to leave the en-
gine running at idle for approximately
20 seconds before switching off the ig-
nition. This limits any increase in the
temperature of the engine after it has
been switched off.
Note: in certain cases of par-
ticularly arduous use (towing
the maximum load in high
temperatures on a steep
slope), the engine automatically lim-
its its power and selects the appropri-
ate automatic gearbox gear in manual
mode. In this case, cutting off the air
conditioning allows the engine power
to be recovered, and therefore the
towing capacity to be increased.
If the coolant temperature
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 (label on the central
door pillar on the driver’s side) and of
the trailer towed, observing the recom-
mended pressure.

Brakes: towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake gradu-
ally.

Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed. Manual adjustment
Adjust your headlamps so as not to
dazzle other road users. Check the
electrical signalling of the trailer.
