Take care, the sealant product
is harmful (e.g. ethylene-glycol,
colophony...) if swallowed and causes
irritation to the eyes.
Keep this product out of the reach of
children.
The use-by date is marked on the
cartridge.
After use, do not discard the
cartridge by the roadside, take it to a
P
e
uge
O
T dealer or an authorised
waste disposal site.
Don't forget to obtain a new sealant
cartridge, available from a P
e

uge
O
T
dealer or a qualified workshop. If after around 5 to 7 minutes the
pressure is not attained, this indicates
that the tyre is not repairable; contact
a P

O

workshop for assistance.

Should the pressure of one or more
tyres be adjusted, it is necessary to
reinitialise the under-inflation detection
system.
Refer to the "
un
der-inflation detection"
section.
Tyre under-inflation
detection
After repair of the tyre, the warning
lamp will remain on until the system is
reinitialised.
For more information, refer to the
"
un

der-inflation detection" section.

tart the compressor by placing the switch
at the " I" position and adjust the pressure
to the value shown on the vehicle's tyre
pressure label.

Driving advice
Distribution of loads
F 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.
Side wind
F 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.
F

T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
F

I
f the warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
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.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a genuine
P
e

uge
O
T towbar is used.
Refer to the "Technical data" section for details
of the weights and towed loads which apply to
your vehicle.

Identification markings
A. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) under the bonnet.
T

his number is engraved on the bodywork
near the damper support. The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres are cold, at least once
a month.
Low tyre pressures increase fuel
consumption.
B.
V

ehicle identification Number (VIN) on
the windscreen lower crossmember.
T

his number is indicated on a self-
adhesive label which is visible through the
windscreen. C. M
anufacturer's label.
T
he VIN is indicated on a self-destroying
label affixed to the middle pillar, on the
passenger's side.
D.
T

yre/paint label.
T

his label is fitted to the middle pillar, on
the driver's side. It bears the following information:
-

t
he tyre inflation pressures with and without
load,
-
t
he tyre sizes,
-
t
he inflation pressure of the spare wheel,
-
t
he paint colour code.
Various visible markings for the identification of your vehicle.
