TOWING THE VEHICLE
Procedure for having your vehicle towed
or for towing another vehicle using a re-
movable towing eye.
Access to the tools Towing your vehicle

 On the front bumper, unclip the cover
by pressing at the bottom.

 Screw the towing eye in fully.

 Install the towing bar.

 Switch on the hazard warning lamps
on the towed vehicle.
 On the rear bumper, unclip the cover
by pressing at the bottom.

 Screw the towing eye in fully.

 Install the towing bar.

 Switch on the hazard warning lamps
on the towed vehicle.
Towing another vehicle
The towing eye is installed under the
left-hand concertina board, in the boot
interior trim.
To gain access to it:

 open the boot,

 raise the concertina board,

 remove the towing eye from the
holder. When towing with all four
wheels on the ground, always
use a towing bar.
When towing with only two wheels on
the ground, always use professional
lifting equipment.
When towing with the engine off,
there is no longer any braking or
steering assistance.

 Place the gear lever in neu-
tral (position N on the elec-
tronic gear control gearbox
or automatic gearbox).
Failure to observe this special condi-
tion could result in damage to certain
braking components and the absence
of braking assistance the next time
the engine is started.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

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
The maximum towed load on a long in-
cline depends on the gradient and the
ambient temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
Side wind

 Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind.
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. 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.
Lighting

 Check the electrical lighting and sig-
nalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will
be deactivated automatically if
a genuine PEUGEOT towbar
is used.
 If the warning lamp and
the STOP warning lamp
come on, stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional lighting
and signalling.
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 towed load
must be reduced by 10 % for every
1 000 metres of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for
details of the weights and towed loads
which apply to your vehicle.
Driving with a trailer subjects the towing
vehicle to more signifi cant stress and
the driver must take particular care.
We recommend the use of
genuine PEUGEOT towbars
and their harnesses 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 trailer is not fi tted by a PEUGEOT
dealer, it is imperative that it is
fi tted using the vehicle's electrical pre-
equipment, in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
201
FITTING ROOF BARS Maximum authorised weight
on the roof rack, for a loading
height not exceeding 40 cm
(with the exception of bicycle
carriers): 65 kg.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt
the speed of the vehicle to the pro-
fi le of the road to avoid damaging the
roof bars and the fi xings on the roof.
Be sure to refer to national legislation
in order to comply with the regula-
tions for transporting objects that are
longer than the vehicle.
When fi tting transverse roof bars, use
the four quick-fi t fi xings provided for this
purpose:

 lift the concealing fl aps,

 open the fi xing covers on each bar
using the key,

 put each fi xing in place and lock
them on the roof one by one,

 close the fi xing covers on each bar
using the key.
If your vehicle is fi tted with
roof fi nishers, do not use them
for carrying loads. VERY COLD CLIMATE SCREEN
Removable protective screen which
prevents the accumulation of snow at
the radiator cooling fan.
Before fi tting or removing the screen,
ensure that the engine is off and cool-
ing fan has stopped. It is recommended
that the screen be fi tted and removed
by a PEUGEOT dealer.

 Offer up one of the three screens to
the front of the lower section of the
front bumper (do not use the upper
ventilation grille position).

 Press on the edges A to engage its
fi xing clips.

 Press on the middle at B to com-
plete the engagement of the fi xing
clips.

 Repeat the operation for the other
two screens.
