PRACTICAL INFORMATION

Do not attempt to charge the
high voltage battery.
Starting using another battery
When your vehicle's battery is dis-
charged, the engine can be started using
a slave battery (external or on another
vehicle) and jump lead cables.
First check that the slave battery has a
nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity
at least equal to that of the discharged
battery.
Do not try to start the engine by con-
necting a battery charger.
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal when
the engine is running.
)
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 termi-
nal (-) of the slave battery B
(or
earth point on the other vehicle).
)
Connect the other end of the green
or black cable to the earth point C
on the broken down vehicle (or on
the engine mounting).
)
Start the engine of the vehicle with
the good battery and leave it run-
ning for a few minutes.
)
Operate the starter on the broken
down vehicle and let the engine run
If the engine does not start straight
away, switch off the ignition and wait
a few moments before trying again.
)
Wait until the engine returns to idle
then disconnect the jump lead ca-
bles in the reverse order.
Charging the battery using a
battery charger
)
Disconnect the battery from the ve-
hicle.
)
Follow the instructions for use pro-
vided by the manufacturer of the
charger.
)
Connect the battery starting with the
negative terminal (-).
)
Check that the terminals and connec-
tors are clean. If they are covered with
sulphate (whitish or greenish deposit),
remove them and clean them.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION
The batteries contain harmful
substances such as sulphuric
acid and lead. They must be
disposed of in accordance with regu-
lations and must not, in any circum-
stances, be discarded with household
waste.
Take used remote control batteries
and vehicle batteries to a special col-
lection point.
It is advisable to disconnect
the battery if the vehicle is to
be left unused for more than
one month.
Protect your eyes and face
before handling the battery.
All operations on the battery must be
carried out in a well ventilated area
and away from naked fl ames and
sources of sparks, so as to avoid the
risk of explosion or fi re.
Do not try to charge a frozen battery;
the battery must fi rst be thawed out
to avoid the risk of explosion. If the
battery has been frozen, before char-
ging have it checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop who
will check that the internal compo-
nents have not been damaged and
the casing is not cracked, which
could cause a leak of toxic and cor-
rosive acid.
Do not reverse the polarity and use
only a 12 V charger.
Do not disconnect the terminals while
the engine is running.
Do not charge the batteries without
disconnecting the terminals fi rst.
Wash your hands afterwards.
Do not push the vehicle to start the
engine.
Before disconnecting the battery
Wait 2 minutes after switching off the igni-
tion before disconnecting the battery.
Close the windows and the doors be-
fore disconnecting the battery.
Following reconnection of the
battery
Following reconnection of the battery,
switch on the ignition and wait 1 minu te
before starting to permit initialisation
of the electronic systems. However, if
problems remain following this opera-
tion, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section,
you must yourself reinitialise (depen-
ding on version):
- the remote control key,
- the electric blind(s),
- ...

TOWING A TRAILER, ...
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 coolant
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 sen-
sitivity to side wind.
Tyres
)
Check the tyre pressures of the tow-
ing vehicle and of the trailer, obser-
ving 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.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer or caravan, or the installation of
bicycle carrier, with additional lighting
and signalling.

QUESTIONANSWERSOLUTION
The stored stations donot function (no sound, 87.5 Mhz is displayed...).
An incorrect waveband is selected.
Press RADIO, select Radio Menu then "FM" to return to the waveband on which the stations arestored.
The quality of receptionof the radio station listened to graduallydeteriorates or the stored stations do not function(no sound, 87.5 Mhz is displayed...).
The vehicle is too far from the transmitter used by the station listenedto or there is no transmitter in the geographical area through which the vehicle is travelling.
Activate the "RDS" function by means of theshort-cut menu to enable the system to check whether there is a more powerful transmitter in thegeographical area.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks...) block reception, including in RDS mode.
This phenomenon is normal and does not indicate a failure of the audio equipment.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when goingthrough a car wash or into an underground car park).
Have the aerial checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.
Sound cut-outs of 1 to2 seconds in radio mode.During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS searches for any frequency permitting better reception of the station.
Deactivate the "RDS" function by means of the short-cut menu if the phenomenon is too frequentand always on the same route.
With the engine off, the system switches off after a few minutes of use.
When the engine is switched off, the system's operating time depends on the battery charge.
The switch-off is normal: the system switches to economy mode and switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery.
Start the vehicle's engine to increase the batterycharge.

The stored stations donot function (no sound, 87.5 Mhz is displayed...).
An incorrect waveband is selected.
Press the BAND AST button to return to the waveband (FM1, FM2, FMAST) on which the stations are stored.

The message "the audio system is overheated" appears on the display.
In order to protect the installation if the surrounding temperature is toohigh, the audio equipment switches to an automatic thermal protectionmode leading to a reduction of the volume or stopping of the playing of the CD.
Switch the audio system off for a few minutes toallow the system to cool.
