PRACTICAL INFORMATION

)
Operate the starter, let the engine run.


)
Wait until the engine returns to idle
and disconnect the cables.



Charging the battery using
a battery charger
Starting using another battery



)
Connect the red cable to the posi-
tive terminal (+) of the fl at battery A
,
then to the positive terminal (+) of
the slave battery B
.

)
Connect one end of the green or
black cable to the negative termi-
nal (-) of the slave battery B
.

)
Connect the other end of the green
or black cable to the earth point C

on the broken down vehicle.
The Stop & Start battery does not
have to be disconnected for charging.



)
Disconnect the battery from the ve-
hicle.

)
Follow the instructions for use pro-
vided by the manufacturer of the
charger.

)
Reconnect starting with the nega-
tive terminal (-).

)
Check that the terminals and con-
nectors are clean. If they are cov-
ered with sulphate (whitish or
greenish deposit), remove them and
clean them. The batteries contain harmful sub-
stances such as sulphuric acid and
lead. They must be disposed of in
accordance with regulations and
must not, in any circumstances, be
discarded with household waste.
Take used remote control batteries
and vehicle batteries to a special
collection point.
To avoid discharging the battery,
do not leave the lights on repeat-
edly with the ignition off (refer to
the "Energy economy mode" para-
graph).
It is advisable to disconnect the
battery if the vehicle is to be left un-
used for more than one month.
Do not disconnect the terminals
while the engine is running.
Do not charge the batteries without
disconnecting the terminals fi rst.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION





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.
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.


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

Driving advice

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 t-
ting 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 manufacturer's instruc-
tions. Driving with a trailer places greater de-
mands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.
In all cases, keep a check on the cool-
ant temperature.

Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.

Tyres


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


Lighting


)
Check the electrical lighting and sig-
nalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a gen-
uine 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.
The maximum towed load on a long in-
cline depends on the gradient and the
ambient temperature.
