PRACTICAL INFORMATION

DISCONNECTING/RECONNECTING THE CABLES


To avoid discharging the battery, do not leave the vehicle lighting
on repeatedly with the ignition off (refer to the "Energy economy
mode" paragraph).
It is advisable to disconnect the battery if the vehicle is to be left
unused 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.


Before disconnecting the battery

Wait 2 minutes after switching off the ignition before disconnecting
the battery.
Retract the active spoiler then close the windows and the doors
before disconnecting the battery.


Following reconnection of the battery

Following reconnection of the battery, switch on the ignition
and wait 1 minute before starting to permit initialisation of the
electronic systems. However, if slight problems remain following
this operation, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section, you must yourself
reinitialise:


- the remote control key,

- the electric windows and the automatic partial opening of the
door windows,

- the GPS satellite navigation system.



)
Raise the locking tab D
fully.

)
Position the open clip E
of the cable on the positive terminal (+) of
the battery.

)
Press vertically on the clip E
to position it correctly against the
battery.

)
Lock the clip by lowering the tab D
.


CHARGING THE BATTERY USING A BATTERY
CHARGER


)
Disconnect the battery from the vehicle.

)
Follow the instructions for use provided by the manufacturer of the
charger.

)
Reconnect starting with the negative terminal (-).

)
Check that the terminals and connectors are clean. If they are
covered with sulphate (whitish or greenish deposit), remove them
and clean them.

Do not force the tab as locking will not be possible if the clip is not
positioned correctly.
Start the procedure again.

TOWING A TRAILER

Towbar suitable for the attachment of a trailer with additional lighting
and signalling.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for transporting people and luggage,
but it may also be used for towing a trailer.
We recommend use of the PEUGEOT genuine towbar with ball
which can be removed without tools and its harness 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 trailer is fi tted outside the PEUGEOT dealer network, it must
be fi tted in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.


DRIVING ADVICE

Driving with a trailer subjects the towing vehicle to more signifi cant
stress and its driver must be particularly careful.

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 version.


Side wind



)
Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.

8/
PRACTICAL INFORMATION

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.
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.


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 signalling on the trailer.

)
If the warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come
on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as
possible.
The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a
genuine PEUGEOT towbar is used.


When not towing a trailer, remove the quickly-detachable tow ball
before driving, so as to avoid masking the central rear lamp.

190

*
The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit, on condition that the GVW of the towing vehicle is reduced by the same
amount; warning: towing with a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its road holding.

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 performance of the vehicle to protect the engine; when the ambient temperature is
higher than 37 °C, limit the towed weight.
