ACCESSORIES
Towing a trailer
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a steep
slope in high temperatures), the engine
automatically limits its power. In this case,
automatic cutting off of the air conditioning
allows the engine power to be saved.
If the coolant temperature
warning light comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 7.

Tyres: check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (see the "Identification
markings" section of chapter 7) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressures.

Brakes: towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake gradually.
Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed.

ABS: the system only controls the vehicle,
not the trailer.

Rear parking sensors: the sensors
will be deactivated automatically when
an genuine PEUGEOT towbar is used
(see the "Rear parking sensors" section of
chapter 3). Towbar
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
the fitting of this equipment is entrusted to a
PEUGEOT dealer.
If this equipment is not fitted by a PEUGEOT
dealer, it is essential that it is fitted using
the electrical pre-equipment located at
the rear of the vehicle and following the
manufacturer's instructions.
The operation of the rear parking sensors is
deactivated automatically when the trailer
cable connector is inserted in the towbar
socket.
When the trailer cable is removed, the rear
parking sensors are re-activated.

Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest objects are as close as possible
to the axle and the nose weight is close to
the maximum authorised without, however,
exceeding it. The air density decreases with
altitude, so reducing the performance of
the engine. The maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10 % for each 1 000 metres
of altitude. Refer to the "Technical data"
chapter for details of the weights and towed
loads applicable to your vehicle and also to
the administrative documents
(V5 registration document, ...).

Checks
CHECKS
Bleeding water from
the Diesel filter If this warning lamp comes
on, you must bleed the filter;
otherwise bleed the filter
regularly, every time the engine is
changed.
To remove the water, unscrew the bleed
screw or the water in Diesel sensor, located
at the base of the filter. Operate until all of
the water has flowed out. Then tighten the
bleed screw or the water sensor.
HDi engines use advanced technology. All
work requires specialist knowledge, which
all PEUGEOT dealers have. Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
A blocked passenger compartment filter
may reduce the performance of the
air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours. The replacement
intervals for these components are indicated
in the servicing booklet.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle
(urban driving...), change them twice as
often if necessary, refer to the "Under the
bonnet" section of chapter 7. Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the brake pad wear,
even between services.
Unless there is a leak on the system, a drop
in the brake fluid level indicates that the
brake pads are worn.
Brake disc/drum wear
For all information on checking the brake
disc/drum wear, contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too great
or there is a reduction in the performance
of the system, the parking brake should be
adjusted, even between services.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the servicing schedule.
The presence of this label, in particular wit
h
the Stop & Start system, indicates the use of
a specific 12 V lead-acid battery with special
technology and specification, for which
the involvement of a PEUGEOT dealer is
required when replacing or disconnecting
the battery.
Failure to observe this recommendation may
cause premature wear of the battery.
