12 V BATTERY
Procedure for charging your battery
when it is fl at or for starting the engine
using another battery.
Your vehicle is fi tted with a conventional
12 V battery, located under the bonnet,
in addition to the high voltage battery
used by the hybrid system.
In certain conditions, if the 12 V battery
is too discharged to activate the hybrid
system, recharging from another con-
ventional 12 V battery is possible.
Do not carry out this recharge if the
Ready
lamp is on.


Access to the battery

The battery is located under the bonnet.
To gain access to it:


)
open the bonnet using the interior
release lever, then the exterior safety
catch,

)
secure the bonnet stay,

)
remove the plastic cover to gain ac-
cess to the two terminals,

)
unclip the fusebox to remove the
battery, if necessary.





Disconnecting the cables



)
Raise the locking tab fully.



Reconnecting the cables



)
Position the open clip 1
of the cable
on the positive terminal (+) of the
battery.

)
Press vertically on the clip 1
to posi-
tion it correctly against the battery.

)
Lock the clip by spreading the po-
sitioning lug and then lowering the

TOWING A TRAILER, ...
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional lighting
and signalling.

Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer.

Driving advice

The maximum towed load on a long in-
cline depends on the gradient and the
ambient temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.

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.
Side wind


)
Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind.

Tyres


)
Check the tyre pressures of the tow-
ing vehicle and of the trailer, observ-
ing the recommended pressures.

Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
The rear parking sensors will
be deactivated automatically if
a genuine PEUGEOT towbar
is used.


)
If the warning lamp and the
STOP
warning lamp come
on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as
soon as possible.



Maximum trailer weight

You must not tow a trailer weighing
more than 500 kg.
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. Driving with a trailer places greater de-
mands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.
We recommend the use of
genuine PEUGEOT towbars
and their harnesses 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 trailer is not fi tted by a PEUGEOT
dealer, it is imperative that it is fi tted us-
ing the vehicle's electrical pre-equipment,
in accordance with the manufacturer's in-
structions.

Lighting


)
Check the electrical lighting and sig-
nalling on the trailer.
Refer to the "Technical Data"
section for details of the
weights and towed loads
which apply to your vehicle.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

VERY COLD CLIMATE SCREEN
Removable protective screen which
prevents the accumulation of snow at
the radiator cooling fan.
Before fi tting or removing the screen,
ensure that the engine is off and the
cooling fan has stopped. It is recom-
mended that the screen be fi tted and
removed by a PEUGEOT dealer.
FITTING ROOF BARS
Maximum authorised weight
on the roof rack, for a loading
height not exceeding 40 cm
(with the exception of bicycle
carriers): 65
kg.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt
the speed of the vehicle to the pro-
fi le of the road to avoid damaging the
roof bars and the fi xings on the roof.
Be sure to refer to national legislation
in order to comply with the regula-
tions for transporting objects that are
longer than the vehicle.


When fi tting transverse roof bars, use
the four quick-fi t fi xings provided for this
purpose:


)
lift the concealing fl aps,

)
open the fi xing covers on each bar
using the key,

)
put each fi xing in place and lock
them on the roof one by one,

)
close the fi xing covers on each bar
using the key.
