VEHICLE RECOVERY
Before doing any work, with the ignition
on, press the brake pedal and put the
gear lever in position N
, then switch off
the ignition
If necessary because access to the ve-
hicle is diffi cult, it can be moved a few
dozen metres at a speed not exceeding
6 mph (10 km/h).
The front or rear wheels must not be on
the ground, use a fl at-bed lorry or trailer
to recover the vehicle.
Use the towing eyes only to pull a ve-
hicle out or to pull it onto a fl at-bed.

TOWING A TRAILER, ...
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer or caravan 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.
Driving advice
The maximum towed load on a long in-
cline depends on the gradient and the
ambient temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the cool-
ant temperature.
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.
Side wind
)
Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind.
Tyres
)
Check the tyre pressures of the tow-
ing vehicle and of the trailer, observ-
ing the recommended pressures.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
)
If the warning lamp and the
STOP
warning lamp come
on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as
soon as possible.
Maximum trailer weight
You must not tow a trailer weighing
more than 500 kg.
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. Driving with a trailer places greater de-
mands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.
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 fi tting of the towbar is entrusted
to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
If the trailer is not fi tted by a PEUGEOT
dealer, it is imperative that it is fi tted
using the vehicle's electrical pre-
equipment, in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
Refer to the "Technical Data"
section for details of the
weights and towed loads
which apply to your vehicle.
Lighting
)
Check the electrical lighting and sig-
nalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will
be deactivated automatically if
a genuine PEUGEOT towbar
is used.

VERY COLD CLIMATE SCREEN
Removable protective screen which
prevents the accumulation of snow at
the radiator cooling fan.
Before fi tting or removing the screen,
ensure that the engine is off and the
cooling fan has stopped. It is recom-
mended that the screen be fi tted and
removed by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
FITTING ROOF BARS
Maximum authorised weight
on the roof rack, for a loading
height not exceeding 40 cm
(with the exception of bicycle
carriers): 65
kg.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt
the speed of the vehicle to the pro-
fi le of the road to avoid damaging the
roof bars and the fi xings on the roof.
Be sure to refer to national legislation
in order to comply with the regula-
tions for transporting objects that are
longer than the vehicle.
When fi tting transverse roof bars, use
the four quick-fi t fi xings provided for this
purpose:
)
lift the concealing fl aps,
)
open the fi xing covers on each bar
using the key,
)
put each fi xing in place and lock
them on the roof one by one,
)
close the fi xing covers on each bar
using the key.
Fitting
)
Offer up the screen to the front of
the lower section of the front bum-
per ( do not use the upper ventila-
tion grille position).
)
Press on the edges A
to engage its
fi xing clips.
)
Press on the middle at B
to com-
plete the engagement of the fi xing
clips.
