Parking the vehicle
Immobilise the vehicle where it
does not block traffi c: if possible,
park the vehicle on level, stable
and non-slippery ground.
Apply the parking brake, switch off
the ignition and engage fi rst gear *
to lock the wheels.
If necessary, place a chock under
the wheel diagonally opposite the
wheel to be changed.
It is imperative that you ensure that
the occupants get out of the vehicle
and wait in a safe location.
Never go underneath a vehicle
raised using a jack; use an axle
stand.
List of operations

General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in
your country.
Ensure that the weight of the tow-
ing vehicle is higher than that of the
towed vehicle.
The driver must stay at the wheel
of the towed vehicle.
Driving on motorways and fast
roads is prohibited when towing.
When towing a vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground, always use
an approved towing bar; rope and
straps are prohibited.
When towing a vehicle with the
engine off, there is no longer any
power assistance for braking or
steering.
In the following cases, you must al-
ways call on a professional recovery
service:
- vehicle broken down on a mo-
torway or fast road,
- when it is not possible to put the
gearbox into neutral, unlock the
steering, or release the parking
brake,
- towing with only two wheels on
the ground,
- where there is no approved
towing bar available...
TOWING A TRAILER
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer. Driving with a trailer places greater de-
mands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.
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 towed load
must be reduced by 10 % for every
1 000 metres of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for
details of the weights and towed loads
which apply to your vehicle.
Side wind
)
Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer with additional lighting and sig-
nalling.
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 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 imperative that it is fi tted in
accordance with the vehicle manufac-
turer's instructions.
Driving advice
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.
