Practical information
Changing brake lamp, reversing lamp and direction indicator bulbs
These three bulbs are changed from inside the boot:
 open the boot,  remove the access grille from the corresponding side trim panel,  slacken and remove the nut,  disconnect the lamp unit connector,  unclip the lamp unit carefully extract it pulling in line towards the outside,
 press the four tabs and remove the bulb h o l d e r,  turn the bulb a quarter of a turn and change it. To reassemble, carry out these operations in reverse order. Take care to engage the lamp unit in its guides, while keeping it in line with the vehicle. Tighten sufficiently to ensure sealing, but without damaging the lamp.
Changing the light emitting diode-LED lamps
For replacement, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or qualified workshop.

Driving advice
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.
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. 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.
 If 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
 Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the recommended pressures.
Lighting
 Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a genuine PEUGEOT towbar is used.
Refer to the "Technical data" section for details of the weights and towed loads which apply to your vehicle.

The gearbox does not require any maintenance (no oil change). Refer to the warranty and
maintenance record for details of the level checking interval for this component.
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 in the circuit, a drop in the brake fluid level indicates that the brake pads are worn.
Brake pads
For information on checking brake disc wear, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Brake disc wear
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of effectiveness of this system is noticed, the parking brake must be checked, even between two services. Checking this system must be done by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Only use products recommended by PEUGEOT or products of equivalent quality and specification. In order to optimise the operation of units as important as those in the braking system, PEUGEOT selects and offers very specific products. After washing the vehicle, dampness, or in wintry conditions, ice can form on the brake discs and pads: braking efficiency may be reduced. Make light brake applications to dry and defrost the brakes.

Technical data
* The kerb weight is equal to the unladen weight + driver (75 kg). ** The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit, if the GV W of the towing vehicle is reduced by an equal amount; warning, towing using a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its road holding.
The GTW and towed load values indicated are valid up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned must be reduced by 10 % for
each additional 1 000 metres of altitude. The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country). High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the per formance of the vehicle to protect the engine; if the ambient temperature is above 37 °C, limit the towed load.
