CHECKS
Manual gearbox
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of gearbox mainte-
nance.
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the
style of driving, particularly in
the case of vehicles used in
town, over short distances. It
may be necessary to have the
condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak on the circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.
Brake disc wear
For information on checking
brake disc wear, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.
Parking brake
If the parking brake travel is
too long or if you notice a loss
of effectiveness of this sys-
tem, the parking brake must
be adjusted, even between
two services.
This system must be checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent
quality and specifi cations. In order to optimise the opera-
tion of units as important as
the braking system, PEUGEOT
selects and offers very specifi c
products.
To avoid damaging the electrical
units, the use of a high pressure
washer in the engine compart-
ment is strictly prohibited.
Transfer box and rear
differential
Refer to the servicing booklet
for details of the service inter-
val for these components.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
CHANANGING A FUSE
Changing a fuse
Before changing a fuse, the cause of the
failure must be identifi ed and rectifi ed.
)
Identify the faulty fuse by checking
the condition of its fi lament.
Access to the tools
The extraction tweezer is fi tted in the
engine compartment fusebox.
To gain access to them:
)
Open the bonnet (refer to the "Ac-
cess" section),
)
Press on the hook A
and release
the catch,
)
Remove the cover completely,
)
Remove the tweezer B
.
Good Failed
)
Use the special tweezer to extract
the fuse from its location.
)
Always replace the faulty fuse with
a fuse of the same rating.
)
Check that the number etched on
the box, the rating etched on the top
and the tables below all agree.
The spare fuses are located on
the engine compartment fuse-
box cover. Your vehicle's electrical system
is designed to operate with stan-
dard or optional equipment.
Before installing other electrical
equipment or accessories in your
vehicle, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
PEUGEOT will not accept re-
sponsibility for the cost incurred
in repairing your vehicle or for
rectifying the malfunctions result-
ing from the installation of ac-
cessories not supplied and not
recommended by PEUGEOT and
not installed in accordance with
its instructions, in particular when
the consumption of all of the ad-
ditional equipment connected
exceeds 10 milliamperes.

)
secure the bonnet stay.
BATTERYBATTE
Access to the battery
)
Connect the red cable to the posi-
tive terminal (+) of the fl at battery A
,
then to the positive terminal (+) of
the slave battery B
.
)
Connect one end of the green or black
cable to the negative terminal (-) of the
slave battery B
.
)
Connect the other end of the green
or black cable to an earth point C
on
the broken down vehicle, as far as
possible from the battery (for exam-
ple, right-hand engine mounting).
)
Start the engine of the assisting ve-
hicle.
)
Operate the starter, let the engine
run.
)
Wait until the engine returns to idle
and disconnect the cables.
)
Raise the front of the cover 1
to re-
lease the three clips 2
.
)
Then pull the cover 1
towards you
to release the clip 3
and remove the
cover.
Check the electrolyte level reg-
ularly. If necessary, top up the
level with distilled water.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
The batteries contain harmful
substances such as sulphuric
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 bat-
teries and vehicle batteries to a
special collection point.
Charging the battery using a
battery charger
)
Disconnect the battery from the ve-
hicle.
)
Remove the battery and place it in a
ventilated area.
)
Remove the top-up caps and top up
the level with distilled water if nec-
essary.
)
Connect the battery to the charger
observing the instructions for use
provided by the manufacturer and
start charging.
)
Disconnect the battery from the
charger and let it to cool.
)
If necessary, top up the level with
distilled water.
)
Clean the top of the battery care-
fully.
)
Put the top-up caps back in place.
)
Check that the terminals and con-
nectors are clean. If they are cov-
ered with sulphate (whitish or
greenish deposit), remove them
and clean them.
)
Reconnect the battery starting with
the positive terminal (+). It is advisable to disconnect the
battery if the vehicle is to be left un-
used for more than one month.
Do not disconnect the terminals
while the engine is running.
Do not charge the batteries with-
out disconnecting the terminals
fi rst.
Avoid prolonged contact of the
electrolyte with the skin.
Most of these fl uids are harmful
to health and very corrosive. When charging the battery, it is
normal to observe an increase
in temperature and bubbling of
the electrolyte.
Before disconnecting the battery
Wait 2 minutes after switching off the igni-
tion before disconnecting the battery.
Close the windows, the sunroof, the
doors and the tailgate before discon-
necting 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
diffi culties are encountered following this
operation, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section,
you must yourself reinitialise:
- the one-touch electric windows,
- the sunroof,
- the satellite navigation system.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, WING A TRAILER, CARAVA
ETC.
Driving advice
The maximum towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and the
outside temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
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.
Tyres
)
Check the tyre pressures of the tow-
ing vehicle and of the trailer, observ-
ing the recommended pressures.
Lighting
)
Check the lighting and signalling on
the trailer.
)
If this message is dis-
played, stop your ve-
hicle as soon as it is
safe to do so.
If the message fl ashes slowly, wait for
the engine to cool before topping up the
level, if necessary.
If the message fl ashes rapidly, contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop without delay.
Opening of the lower tailgate is
prohibited if a towbar is being
used.
We recommend the use of gen-
uine 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 impera-
tive that it is fi tted using the
electrical pre-equipment located
at the rear of the vehicle and in
accordance with the manufac-
turer's instructions.
Driving with a trailer subjects the
towing vehicle to more signifi -
cant stress and its driver must
be particularly careful.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer.
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 % of the
GTW 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.
