phuric acid and lead. They
must be disposed of in accordance
with regulations and must not, in any
circumstances, be discarded with
household waste.
Take used remote control batteries

lection point.
It is advisable to disconnect
the battery if the vehicle is to
be left unused for more than
one month.

Let the engine run for the
duration specifi ed to ensure
that the battery charge is suf-
fi cient.
Do not repeatedly and continuously
restart the engine in order to charge
the battery.
A fl at battery prevents the engine
from starting (refer to the "Battery"
paragraph). If the telephone is being used
at this time:
- it will be maintained for 5 min-
utes with the hands-free kit of
your Peugeot Connect Sound or
Peugeot Connect Navigation,
- it will still be possible to fi nish the
call with the Peugeot Connect

Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated auto-
matically next time the vehicle is driven.
To restore the use of these functions im-
mediately, start the engine and let it run
for at least 5 minutes.
LOAD REDUCTION MODE
System which manages the use of cer-
tain functions according to the level of
charge remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the
load reduction function temporarily deac-
tivates certain functions, such as the air
conditioning, the heated rear screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivat-
ed automatically as soon as conditions
permit.
ENERGY ECONOMY MODE
System which manages the duration of
use of certain functions to conserve a
suffi cient level of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can
still use functions such as the audio and
telematics system, windscreen wip-
ers, dipped beam headlamps, courtesy
lamps, etc. for a maximum combined
duration of thirty minutes.
This period may be greatly reduced if
the battery is not fully charged.

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

Removal
)
Pull on the very cold climate screen
using the cut-outs 1
then 2
at the
edges of the screen.
Do not forget to remove the very cold
climate screen:

ceeds 10° C,
- when towing,
- at speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h).
ACCESSORIES
A wide range of accessories and genu-
ine parts is available from the PEUGEOT
dealer network.

benefi t from PEUGEOT's recommenda-
tion and warranty.
Installation of radio
communication
transmitters
Before installing any after-market ra-
dio communication transmitter, you
can contact a PEUGEOT dealer for
the specifi cation of transmitters which
can be fi tted (frequency, maximum
power, aerial position, specifi c instal-
lation requirements), in line with the
Vehicle Electromagnetic Compatibility
Directive (2004/104/EC).
Depending on the legislation in force
in the country, it may be compulsory
to have a high visibility safety vest,
warning triangle and spare bulbs and
fuses available in the vehicle.
The fi tting of electrical equipment or
accessories which are not recom-
mended by PEUGEOT may result in
a failure of your vehicle's electronic
system and excessive electrical con-
sumption.
Please note this precaution. You are
advised to contact a PEUGEOT rep-
resentative to be shown the range
of recommended equipment and ac-
cessories.
