PRACTICAL INFORMATION
TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, WING A TRAILER, CARAVA
ETC.
Driving advice

The maximum towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and the
outside 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.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.


)
To lower the engine speed, reduce
your speed.
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 lighting and signalling on
the trailer.

)
If this message is dis-
played, stop your ve-
hicle as soon as it is
safe to do so.


If the message fl ashes slowly, wait for
the engine to cool before topping up the
level, if necessary.
If the message fl ashes rapidly, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop without delay.
Opening of the lower tailgate is
prohibited if a towbar is being
used.
We recommend the use of gen-
uine 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 towbar is not fi tted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is impera-
tive that it is fi tted using the
electrical pre-equipment located
at the rear of the vehicle and in
accordance with the manufac-
turer's instructions.
Driving with a trailer subjects the
towing vehicle to more signifi -
cant stress and its driver must
be particularly careful.


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 towing
load must be reduced by 10 % of the
GTW 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.

ACCESCESSORIES

A wide range of accessories and genu-
ine parts is available from the PEUGEOT
dealer network.
These accessories and parts have
been tested and approved for reliability
and safety.
They are all adapted to your vehicle
and benefi t from PEUGEOT's recom-
mendation and warranty.
Depending on the legislation in
force in the country, it may be
compulsory to have a high vis-
ibility safety vest, warning trian-
gle and spare bulbs and fuses
available in the vehicle.
The fi tting of electrical equipment
or accessories which are not rec-
ommended by PEUGEOT may
result in a failure of your vehicle's
electronic system and excessive
electrical consumption.
Please note this precaution.
You are advised to contact a
PEUGEOT representative to be
shown the range of recommend-
ed equipment and accessories.


*

To prevent any risk of jamming of the
pedals:


- ensure that the mat is positioned
and secured correctly,

- never fi t one mat on top of another.

TECHNICAL DATA
WEIGHTS AND TOWED LOADS (IN KG)ADS (IN KG)

*
The kerb weight is equal to the weight without load + driver (75 kg).

**
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).

***
The braked trailer value corresponds to the towing capacities of the vehicle on a 12 % gradient.
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the performance of the vehicle in order to protect the engine; reduce
the towed weight by 450 kg when your altitude increases by 1 000 m.

AUDIO EQUIPMENT and TELEMATICS
NAVIGATION - GUIDANCENAVIGATION - GUIDANCE

What is the navigation system and
the GPS?
The satellite navigation system guides
the driver to the destination that he has
set in accordance with a chosen route.
Initially, it searches for the destination
required by the user, then it calculates
the route and fi nally it provides the visual
and audible guidance instructions.
What precautions should be
observed in order to make best use
of the system?
Do not place anything on or near the
GPS aerial.
Do not use any digital communication
equipment (personal computers, etc.)
near the GPS aerial.
Do not affi x any refl ective fi lms or fi lms
containing carbon to the windows.
The GPS (Global Positioning
System) consists of several
satellites distributed around
the earth. They continuously
transmit digital signals which
travel at the speed of light, on 2 different
frequencies.
At any given time, the system receives
its position in relation to the satellites
detected and the time of transmission
of the signal.
This enables the telematic unit to cal-
culate its position and therefore that of
the vehicle.
A repositioning process using the map
database stored on the hard disk allows
the vehicle to be positioned on the road
network, so improving the accuracy of
the vehicle location function.
What is a point of interest (POI)?
Up to 40 different icons may
be displayed (refer to the
section "Points of interest
icon").
They are classifi ed in 5 groups and
identifi ed by one colour for each group:


- Shops, fi nance and businesses
(Green),

- Vehicles and travel (Dark blue),

- Restaurants (Orange),

- Public places and emergency services
(Brown),

- Entertainment and attractions (Blue).




GPS

The system's measurements may be
inaccurate if the vehicle is:


- in a tunnel or underground car park,

- underneath a two-level motorway,

- in an area with several very high
buildings,

- surrounded by closely planted trees.
Depending on the vehicle's situation and
the reception of the GPS information, the
displayed information may disappear from
the screen temporarily. A point of interest (POI) is
represented by an icon on
the map, it represents an
airport, a station, a town
hall, ...
