Towing a trailer

ACCESSORIE
S


Cooling:
towing a trailer on a slope
increases the coolant temperature.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower
the engine speed and reduce your speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
Tyres:
check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (see the "Identification
markings" section of chapter 9) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressures.
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars and their harnesses,
which have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle and that
the fitting of this equipment is entrusted to
a PEUGEOT dealer.
If this equipment is not fitted by a PEUGEOT
dealer, it is imperative that it is fitted using
the electrical pre-equipment installed at the
rear of the vehicle and in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.
Good practice

In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a steep
slope in high temperatures), the engine
automatically limits its power. In this
case, the automatic cutting off of the air
conditioning allows the engine power to be
recovered.
If the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 7.
Brakes:
towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake gradually.

Side wind:
sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a moderate
speed.

ABS:
the system only controls the vehicle,
not the trailer.

Rear parking

sensors

:
the system does not
operate while the vehicle is towing.

Checks


CHECKS
Air filter and passenger compartment filter

A clogged passenger compartment filter
may reduce the performance of the
air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours. The replacement
intervals for these components are indicated
in the servicing booklet.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle
(urban driving...), change them twice as
often if necessary, refer to the "Under the
bonnet" section of chapter 7.


Manual gearbox

Have the level checked in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
To check the main levels and certain
components, in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule, refer to
the pages of the servicing booklet which
correspond to your vehicle's engine.
Only use products recommended by
PEUGEOT or products of equivalent quality
and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of units as
important as the braking system, PEUGEOT
selects and offers specific products.
In order to avoid damaging the electrical
units, high pressure washing to clean the
engine compartment is strictly prohibited.
Parking brake

Where the parking brake travel is too great
or there is a reduction in the performance
of the system, the parking brake should be
adjusted, even between services.
Have the system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.


Bleeding the water contained in
the Diesel filter
If this warning lamp comes on,
bleed the filter, otherwise bleed
regularly each time the engine oil
is changed.
To drain the water out, unscrew the bleed
screw or the water in Diesel sensor, located
at the base of the filter. Leave open until
all of the water has been drained out. Then
tighten the bleed screw or the water sensor.
HDi engines use advanced technology. All
work requires a special qualification which is
guaranteed by a PEUGEOT dealer.

Battery

At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Brake pads

Brake pad wear depends on the style of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the thickness of the
pads, even between services.
Unless there is a leak on the system, a drop
in the brake fluid level indicates that the
brake pads are worn.
Brake disc/drum wear status

For any information relating to checking
the brake disc/drum wear status, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer.


Oil filter

Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the servicing schedule.
