PRACTICAL INFORMATION

)
Visit a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop as
soon as possible.
You must inform the technician that
you have used this kit. After inspec-
tion, the technician will inform you
whether the tyre can be repaired or
must be replaced.



)
Turn the selector A
to the
"air" position.

)
Uncoil the black pipe H
fully.

)
Connect the black pipe to the valve
of the wheel.
)
Connect the compressor's electric
plug to the vehicle's 12 V socket.

)
Start the vehicle again and leave the
engine running.
)
Adjust the pressure using the com-
pressor (to infl ate: switch B
in po-
sition "I"
; to defl ate: switch B
in
position "O"
and press button C
), in
accordance with the vehicle's tyre
pressure label (located on the left
hand door aperture).
A loss of pressure indicates that the
puncture has not been fully plugged;
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or qual-
ifi ed workshop for assistance.

)
Remove and stow the kit.

)
Drive at reduced speed (50 mph
[80 km/h] max) limiting the distance

The expiry date of the fl uid is
indicated on the cartridge.
The sealant cartridge is designed for
single use; even if only partly used, it
must be replaced.
After use, do not discard the car-
tridge into the environment, take it to
an authorised waste disposal site or
a PEUGEOT dealer.
Do not forget to obtain a new sealant
cartridge, available from PEUGEOT
dealers or from a qualifi ed workshop.



Checking tyre pressures/
inflating accessories


)
Turn the selector A
to the
"Air" position.

)
Uncoil the black pipe H
fully.

)
Connect the black pipe to the valve
of the wheel or accessory.
If necessary, fi t one of the adaptors
supplied with the kit fi rst.
You can also use the compressor, with-
out injecting any product, to:


- check or adjust the pressure of your
tyres,

- infl ate other accessories (balls, bi-
cycle tyres...).

)
Connect the compressor's electri-
cal connector to the vehicle's 12 V
socket.

)
Start the vehicle and let the engine
run.

)

pressor (to infl ate: switch B
in po-
sition "I"
; to defl ate: switch B
in
position "O"
and press button C
),
according to the vehicle's tyre pres-
sure label or the accessory's pres-

PRACTICAL INFORMATION





TOWING A TRAILER,
A CARAVAN, ETC.
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.

Side wind


)
Take into account the increased
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.


)
To lower the engine speed, reduce
your speed.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a
long mountain type of descent, the use
of engine braking is recommended.

Tyres


)
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.


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.


)
If the warning lamp and the
STOP
warning lamp come
on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as
soon as possible.

Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional lighting
and signalling.

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 towbar is not fi tted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative
that it is fi tted in accordance with the
vehicle manufacturer's instructions. Refer to the "Technical Data"
section for details of the
weights and towed loads
which apply to your vehicle.

TECHNICAL DATA























IDENTIFICATION MARKINGS

Various visible markings for the identifi -
cation and tracing of your vehicle.

Low tyre pressures increase
fuel consumption.

The tyre pressures must be
checked when the tyres are
cold, at least once a month.


A.
Vehicle Identifi cation Number (VIN)
under the bonnet.
This number is engraved on the
bodywork near the damper support.
B.

Vehicle identifi cation Number (VIN) on
the windscreen lower crossmember.

This number is indicated on a self-
adhesive label which is visible
through the windscreen.

C.
Manufacturer's label.

The VIN is indicated on a self-
destroying label affi xed to the door
aperture, on the driver's side.
D.
Tyre/paint label.

This label is fi tted to the door aperture
or middle pillar, on the driver's side.
It bears the following information:


- the tyre infl ation pressures with and
without load,

- the wheel rim and tyre sizes,

- the brands of tyre recommended by
the manufacturer,

- the infl ation pressure of the spare
wheel,

- the paint colour code.
