bility for the cost incurred in repairing
your vehicle or for rectifying the mal-
functions resulting from the installation
of accessories not supplied and not
recommended by PEUGEOT and not
installed in accordance with its instruc-
tions, in particular when the combined
consumption of all of the additional
equipment connected exceeds 10 mil-
liamperes.
The maxi-fuses provide additional pro-
tection for the electrical systems. All work
must be carried out by a PEUGEOT
dealer.

To start the vehicle from another
battery:
- Connect the red cable to the positive (+) terminals of the two batteries,
- Connect one end of the green or black cable to the negative (-) ter-
minal 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 lock-
ing 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 giv-
en by the manufacturer the battery
charger,
- Reconnect starting with the nega- tive (-) terminal,
-
Check that the terminals and connec-
tors 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.

Without lifting (4 wheels on
the ground)
You must always use a towing bar.
The removable towing eye is inside
the spare wheel.
At the front and at the rear:
Unclip the cover,
Screw in the towing eye as far as it
will go. Special requirements with an
automatic gearbox
When towing with the engine switched
off, there is no braking or steering as-
sistance.
Failure to observe this special require-
ment may lead to the destruction of
certain braking units and the absence
of braking assistance when the engine
is re-started.
TOWING YOUR VEHICLE
Lifting (2 wheels only on
the ground)
It is preferable to raise the vehicle with
a professional lifting device.
Place the gear lever in neutral
(position N in the case of the
automatic gearbox).
Towing a vehicle with an auto-
matic gearbox in reverse gear
is prohibited (no lubrication). When towing with four wheels on the
ground, the following rules must be
observed:
- lever in position
N ,
- tow the vehicle at less than 30 mph (50 km/h) over a maximum dis-
tance of 30 miles (50 km).
- do not add oil to the gearbox.

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

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.
