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.
Side wind
Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.
Ty r e s
Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing 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.
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.

Very cold climate screen
Removable protective screen which prevents the accumulation of snow at the radiator cooling fan. Before fitting or removing the screen, ensure that the engine is off and the cooling fan has stopped. It is recommended that the screen be fitted and removed by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Fitting
Offer up the screen, placing the lower clips in contact with lower section of the lower
grille, using the centre guide as an aid. Clip first the lower part, then the upper part, from the middle out towards the edges.
Removal
Unclip the upper part of the screen, starting at the edges.
Take the screen by the lower edges and detach it by pulling it towards you.
Do not forget to remove the very cold climate screen: - when the ambient temperature exceeds 10° C, - when towing, - at speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h).
