rims), ensure that they conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
BRAKING ASSISTANCE
SYSTEMS
Anti-lock braking system and
electronic brake force distribution
Linked systems which improve the sta-
bility and manoeuvrability of your vehicle
when braking, in particular on poor or
slippery surfaces.
Activation
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when there
is a risk of wheel lock.
Normal operation of the ABS may make
itself felt by slight vibration of the brake
pedal. Operating fault
Emergency braking assistance
System which, in an emergency, en-
ables you to obtain the optimum braking
pressure more quickly, thus reducing
the stopping distance.
Activation
It is triggered by the speed at which the
brake pedal is pressed.
The effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an increase

When braking in an emergency, press

Group of supplementary sys-
tems which help you to obtain
optimum braking in complete
safety in emergency situations:
- anti-lock braking system (ABS),
- electronic brake force distribution (EBFD),
- emergency braking assistance (EBA). If this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the mul-
tifunction screen, it indicates a
malfunction of the anti-lock braking sys-
tem which could result in loss of control
of the vehicle when braking.
If this warning lamp comes on, togeth-
er with the STOP and ABS warning
lamps, accompanied by an audible sig-
nal and a message on the multifunction
screen, it indicates a malfunction of the
electronic brake force distribution which
could result in loss of control of the ve-
hicle when braking.
You
must
stop as soon as it is safe
to do so.
In either case, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer.

TEMPORARY REPAIR OF
A TYRE
Vehicles which are not equipped with a
spare wheel have two tyre repair aero-
sols stored in an insulated storage box
in the boot.
(See also the instructions on the aero-
sols). - Remove the foreign body if possible.
- Position the wheel so that the valve
is vertical to the ground.
- Shake the aerosol vigorously before use. (In very cold weather, warm the
aerosol for a few minutes in your
hands).
- F i x t h e a e r o s o l ’ s fl e x i b l e c o n n e c - tor onto the valve, keeping it cen-
tralised.
- Hold the valve against the hole in the wheel rim.
- Empty the 2 aerosols one after the other, held upright, until the tyre is
s a t u r a t e d ( n o f u r t h e r fl o w v i s i b l e i n
the connector)
- Remove the connector and immedia- tely drive at least 3 miles (5 km),
at moderate speed .
- If possible, check the pressure of the tyre.
- Then immediately drive at moderate
speed to the nearest garage. The aerosol cans enable you to
carry out a temporary repair (maxi-
mum speed 50 mph (80 km/h)).
After use, have the vehicle exam-
ined by a professional who will
assess whether the tyre can be
repaired or must be replaced.
As the aerosol cans are pres-
surised, they must not be exposed
to a temperature above 50 °C.
Store them away from heat in
their insulated storage box.

Fitting the wheel
- Once the wheel is in place, pre-tight-en it lightly using the wheelbrace.
- Fold the jack and remove it.
- Tighten the bolts using the wheel- brace.
- R e fi t t h e w h e e l t r i m s t a r t i n g a t t h e valve passage hole and press with
the palm of the hand. Putting the wheel back in place
- Put the jack storage case back in
the wheel.
- Put the wheel back in the carrier.
- Raise the wheel, then the carrier and reposition the hook.
- Do not forget to retighten the spare wheel carrier retaining bolt fully.
- Stow the wheelbrace. For your safety, always change a
wheel:
- on level, stable and non slip-
pery ground,
- with the parking brake applied, ignition off,
- w i t h fi r s t o r r e v e r s e g e a r e n - gaged,
- with the vehicle chocked,
- you must ensure that the oc- cupants get out of the vehicle
and wait in a safe location,
- never go underneath a vehicle raised using a jack (use an
axle stand).
The jack and all of the tools are
s p e c i fi c t o y o u r v e h i c l e . D o n o t
use them for other purposes.
After changing the wheel
- Have the tightening of the bolts and the pressure of the
spare tyre checked as soon
as possible by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
- Have the punctured tyre re- paired and replace it on the
vehicle as soon as possible.

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 ap-
proximately 20 seconds after intensive
use (towing on a motorway, prolonged
driving, ...) before the ignition is switched
off. This limits increases in the tempera-
ture 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 pres-
sures.
Lighting
Check the electrical lighting and sign-
alling on the trailer.
If the warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp 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
y o u r v e h i c l e a n d t h a t t h e fi t t i n g o f t h e
towbar is entrusted to a PEUGEOT
dealer.

installed at the rear of the vehicle, in
accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Driving with a trailer subjects the towing
