Access to the spare wheel
The "space-saver" spare wheel is in-
stalled in the boot under the fl oor.
To gain access to it:
)
place the vehicle in the "coupé" con-
fi guration,
)
open the boot,
)
raise the fl oor.
Fixing the "space-saver" spare
wheel
If your vehicle is fi tted with alloy
wheels, it is normal to notice, when
tightening the bolts on fi tting, that
the washers do not come into con-
tact with the "space-saver" spare
wheel. The wheel is secured by the
conical contact of each bolt.
Taking out the wheel

CHANGING A BULB
1.
Direction indicators
(PY21W amber).
2.
Sidelamps (W5W).
3.
Dipped beam headlamps
(H7-55W).
4.
Main beam headlamps (H1-55W).
5.
Directional headlamps (H7-55W).
6.
Foglamps (H11-55W).
Changing the direction indicator
bulbs
)
Do not touch the bulb directly
with your fi ngers, use lint-free
cloths.
Changing a bulb should only be
done after the headlamp has been
switched off for a few minutes (risk
of serious burns).
It is imperative to use only anti-
ultraviolet (UV) type bulbs in order
not to damage the headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a
new bulb with the same type and
specifi cation.
Model with conventional lamps
Amber coloured bulbs, such as
the direction indicators, must be
replaced with bulbs of identical
specifi cation and colour.
)
Turn the bulb holder one quarter of
a turn and remove it.
)
Pull the bulb then change it.
To r efi t, carry out these operations in
reverse order. The headlamps are fi tted with polycar-
bonate glass with a protective coating:
)
do not clean them using a dry or
abrasive cloth, nor with a deter-
gent or solvent product,
)
use a sponge and soapy water,
)
when using a high pressure washer
on persistent marks, do not keep the
lance directed towards the lamps or
their edges for too long, so as not to
damage their protective coating and
seals. Model with elliptical module dipped
beam headlamps and directional
headlamps

General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in
your country.
Ensure that the weight of the tow-
ing vehicle is higher than that of the
towed vehicle.
The driver must stay at the wheel
of the towed vehicle.
Driving on motorways and fast
roads is prohibited when towing.
When towing a vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground, always use
an approved towing bar; rope and
straps are prohibited.
When towing a vehicle with the
engine off, there is no longer any
power assistance for braking or
steering.
In the following cases, you must al-
ways call on a professional recovery
service:
- vehicle broken down on a mo-
torway or fast road,
- when it is not possible to put the
gearbox into neutral, unlock the
steering, or release the parking
brake,
- towing with only two wheels on
the ground,
- where there is no approved
towing bar available...
TOWING A TRAILER
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer. Driving with a trailer places greater de-
mands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.
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.
Side wind
)
Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer with additional lighting and sig-
nalling.
We recommend the use of genuine
PEUGEOT towbars and their har-
nesses 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 or a qualifi ed workshop.
If the towbar is not fi tted by a PEUGEOT
dealer, it is imperative that it is fi tted in
accordance with the vehicle manufac-
turer's instructions.
Driving advice
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.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
146
The maximum towed load on a long in-
cline depends on the gradient and the
ambient temperature.
)
If the warning lamp and the
STOP
warning lamp come
on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as
soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a
long mountain type of descent, the use
of engine braking is recommended.
Tyres
)
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
The rear parking sensors will be de-
activated automatically if a genuine
PEUGEOT towbar is used.
In all cases, keep a check on the cool-
ant temperature.
Lighting
)
Check the electrical lighting and
signalling on the trailer. BOOT LUGGAGE CARRIER
A boot luggage carrier, designed specifi -
cally for your coupé-cabriolet, is available
from your PEUGEOT dealer as an ac-
cessory.
Follow the manufacturer's recommen-
dations for fi tting and use.
When loading the boot luggage car-
rier, take care not to cover the third
brake lamp and the number plate.
The retractable roof must not not
operated when the boot luggage
carrier is fi tted.
