HANDBRAKE
Illumination of this warning
light and of the STOP
war-
ning light, accompanied by
an audible signal (while the
vehicle is moving), indicates that the
handbrake is still applied or has not
been released fully.


ANTI-LOCK BRAKING
SYSTEM (ABS) AND THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCEDISTRIBUTION (EBFD)
The ABS, in conjunction with the
electronic brake force distribution,
increases the stability and manoeu-
vrability of your vehicle on braking,
in particular on poor or slippery road
surfaces.

Note:
when changing wheels (tyres
and rims), make sure that these are
approved.
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock.
When this warning light comes
on, connected to the STOP

and ABS
warning lights, it
indicates that there is a mal-
function of the electronic brake force
distribution, which can cause a loss of
control of the vehicle when braking.

Stop immediately.

In both cases, consult a PEUGEOT
dealer. When this warning light
comes on, accompanied by a
buzzer, it indicates that there
is a malfunction of the ABS,
which can cause a loss of control of
the vehicle when braking. Normal operation of the ABS may
make itself felt by slight vibrations
of the brake pedal.

In emergency braking, press
very fi rmly without releasing the
pressure.



Releasing
Pull the handle and press the button
to release the handbrake.
Applying
When parking, pull the handbrake to
immobilise your vehicle.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
80 -
For your safety, always change
a wheel:


- on level, stable and non slippery
ground,

- with the handbrake applied,

- with fi rst or reverse gear engaged,

- with the vehicle chocked,

- making absolutely sure that the
occupants get out of the vehicle
and wait in a safe location.
Never go underneath the vehicle
when it is raised using the jack only.
The jack and the tool kit are specifi c
to your vehicle. Do not use them for
other purposes.

Refitting the wheel



- After positioning the wheel, lightly
pre-tighten the bolts using the
wheelbrace.

- Compress the jack and release it.

- Fully tighten the bolts using the
wheelbrace.

- Replace the trim, starting at the
valve passage hole, and press it
on using the palm of the hand.



Replacing the wheel in the
carrier


- Replace the chock 2
in the wheel.

- Replace the wheel in the carrier.

- Lift the wheel then the carrier and
reposition the hook.

- Do not forget to fully tighten the
spare wheel carrier retaining bolt.

- Stow the wheelbrace 1
and the jack.
After changing the wheel


- Have the tightening of the bolts
and the pressure of the spare tyre
checked as soon as possible by a
PEUGEOT dealer.

- Have the punctured tyre repaired
and replace it on the vehicle as
soon as possible.

TOWING A TRAILER,CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC.
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars and their har-
nesses 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.
If the towbar 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 man-
ufacturer's instructions.
Your vehicle is primarily designed
for transporting people and luggage
but it may also be used for towing a
trailer.
Driving with a trailer subjects the tow-
ing vehicle to more signifi cant stress
and its driver must be particularly
careful.
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.

Driving advice


Tyres:
Check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle and of the trailer, ob-
serving the recommended pressures.

Braking:
Towing increases the braking
distance.

Lights:
Check the electrical signalling
on the trailer.

Side wind:
Take into account the in-
creased 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.
On the contrary, use a high gear to
lower the engine speed and reduce
your speed.
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.
In certain cases of particularly ardu-
ous use (towing the maximum load
on a steep gradient in high tempera-
tures), switching off the air condition-
ing permits the recovery of engine
power and therefore an increase in
the towing capacity.
If the warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
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 approach-
es the maximum permitted without
exceeding it.
