Practical information





Towing a trailer, a caravan, etc.

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 fitting of the towbar is
entrusted to a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the trailer is not fitted by a PEUGEOT
dealer, it is imperative that it is fitted
using the vehicle's electrical pre-
equipment, in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional lighting and
signalling.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transpor ting people and luggage, but it may
also be used for towing a trailer.
Driving with a trailer places greater demands
on the towing vehicle and the driver must take
particular care.


Blanking cover

When towing, you must remove the blanking
cover in the front bumper if your vehicle has
one.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop for this.

The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit, if the GV W of the towing vehicle is reduced by an equal amount; warning,
towing using a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its road holding.
The GTW and towed load values indicated are valid up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned must be reduced by 10 % for
each additional 1 000 metres of altitude.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the per formance of the vehicle to protect the engine; if the ambient temperature is above 37 °C,
limit the towed load.

Identifi cation markings
Various visible markings for the identification and tracing of your vehicle.



A.
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
under the bonnet.

This number is engraved on the bodywork
near the damper suppor t.
The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres are cold, at least once
a month.

If the tyre pressures are too low, this
increases fuel consumption.


B.
Vehicle identification Number (VIN) on
the windscreen lower crossmember.

This number is indicated on a self-
adhesive label which is visible through the
windscreen.
C.
Manufacturer's label.

The VIN is indicated on a self-destroying
label affixed to the door aper ture, on the
driver's side.

D.
Ty r e / p a i n t l a b e l .

This label is affixed to the door aper ture, on
the driver's side. It bears the following information:


- the tyre inflation pressures with and without
load,

- the wheel rim and tyre sizes,

- the brands of tyre recommended by the
manufacturer,

- the inflation pressure of the spare wheel,

- the paint colour code.

JBL EQUIPMENT


The HiFi system is a 5.1 system developed jointly by PSA and JBL.

4 two-way speaker kits, separated by an active fi lter, are fi tted at front and
rear.
These are based on a fabric dome tweeter delivering stable and balanced
treble reproduction and a 50W RMS neodymium magnet inverted motor
medium-woofer possessing a very high output of bass frequencies.
The central line in the dashboard improves reproduction of the musical
scene, putting the listener in a situation that realistically reproduces the
original musical recording.
The bass unit located in the boot carries a 150 W triple-coil true
subwoofer in an optimised space, giving depth and impact to the bass
ranges.
This set of speakers is controlled by a 10-way 500 W RMS 2 ohm
amplifi er, using advanced surround sound and sound distribution
handling, so as to deliver optimum performance both for the driver and for
the passengers in the vehicle.
