FUEL SUPPLY CUT-OFF (PETROL) *
As a safety precaution, in certain cir-
cumstances the fuel supply to the en-
gine is cut off.
To re-establish the fuel supply:
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL (DIESEL)
If you should run out of fuel, it is ne-
cessary to prime the fuel system.
The priming pump and the bleed screw
are located under the bonnet (see cor-
responding illustration in the technical
information section):

In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature. Lighting TOWING A TRAILER, BOAT, CARAVAN, ETC...
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars and their harness-
es which have been tested and ap-
proved from the design stage of your
v e h i c l e a n d t h a t y o u e n t r u s t t h e fi t t i n g
of the towbar to a PEUGEOT dealer.

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.
I n t h e c a s e o f v e h i c l e s fi t t e d w i t h a n
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, switching off the air
conditioning saves engine power and
increases towing capacity.
If the coolant temperature
warning lamp 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 pressures.
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. Automatic adjustment
To avoid causing a nuisance to other
road users, this system automatical-
ly corrects the height of the beam of
xenon bulbs in relation to the vehicle
load after approximately 2 minutes.
The driver is then assured of having
optimum lighting.
