with the hands-free kit of your
Peugeot Connect Sound,
- it will be maintained for 10 minutes
with the Peugeot Connect
Navigation or the Peugeot
Connect Media, then it will transfer
to your telephone depending on
the telephone model.
ENERGY ECONOMY MODE
System which manages the duration of
use of certain functions to conserve a
suffi cient level of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can
still use functions such as the audio and
telematics system, windscreen wip-
ers, dipped beam headlamps, courtesy
lamps, etc. for a maximum combined
duration of thirty minutes.
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated auto-
matically next time the vehicle is driven.
)
In order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, start the
engine and let it run:
- for less than ten minutes, to use
the equipment for approximately
fi ve minutes,
- for more than ten minutes, to
use the equipment for up to
approximately thirty minutes.
Switching to economy mode
Once the thirty minutes are over, a
message appears on the multi-function
screen indicating that the vehicle has
switched to economy mode and the ac-
tive functions are put on standby.

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.
Driving advice
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.
)
To lower the engine speed, reduce
your speed.
The maximum towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and the
ambient temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
Side wind
)
Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the temperature of the coolant.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
Tyres
)
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
)
Check the electrical lighting and
signalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be de-
activated 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.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional lighting
and signalling.
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 towing load
must be reduced by 10 % and so on for
every 1 000 metres of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for
details of the weights and towing loads
which apply to your vehicle. Driving with a trailer subjects the towing
vehicle to more signifi cant stress and its
driver must be particularly careful.
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.
If the trailer is not fi tted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative
that it is fi tted using the electrical
pre-equipment installed at the rear
of the vehicle, in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.
If your vehicle is fi tted with the
1.6 THP 200 hp engine, you can-
not fi t a towbar. The space occu-
pied by the sport exhaust system
prevents this.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
FITTING ROOF BARS
Maximum authorised weight on the
roof rack, for a loading height not
exceeding 40 cm (with the excep-
tion of bicycle carriers): 80 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 legis-
lation in order to comply with the
regulations for transporting objects
which are longer than the vehicle.
FITTING ROOF BARS
When fi tting transverse
roof bars, ensure that they
are positioned correctly as
shown by marks under the
longitudinal roof bars.
Use accessories recommended by
PEUGEOT and follow the accessory
manufacturer's fi tting instructions.
In order to place a load on the roof,
transverse roof bars must be fi tted on
the longitudinal roof bars.
After putting the load in place and
securing it, retighten the transverse
roof bars.
The longitudinal roof bars cannot
be removed.
Maximum authorised weight on the
roof bars, for a loading height not
exceeding 40 cm (except bicycle
carriers): 75 kg.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt
the speed of the vehicle to the condi-
tion of the road, to avoid damaging
the roof bars and the fi xings on the
roof.
Be sure to refer to national legis-
lation in order to comply with the
regulations for transporting objects
which 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 spanner,
)
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 spanner.

Installation of radio
communication transmitters
Before installing on your vehicle
any after-market radio communica-
tion transmitter with external aerial,
we recommend that you contact
a PEUGEOT dealer.
The PEUGEOT dealer network
will give you the specifi cation

ted (frequency, maximum power,
aerial position, specifi c installation
requirements), in line with the Ve-
hicle Electromagnetic Compatibility
Directive (2004/104/EC).
You can also obtain products for cleaning
and maintenance (exterior and interior),
topping up (screenwash...) and refi lls
(fragrance cartridges, sealant cartridge
