Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated automatically next time the vehicle is driven. To restore the use of these functions immediately, start the engine and let it run for at least 5 minutes.
Load reduction mode Energy economy mode
Switching to economy mode
Once this time has elapsed, a message appears in the screen indicating that the vehicle has switched to economy mode and the active functions are put on standby.
System which manages the use of certain functions according to the level of charge remaining in the battery. When the vehicle is being driven, the load reduction function temporarily deactivates certain functions, such as the air conditioning, the heated rear screen... The deactivated functions are reactivated automatically as soon as conditions permit.
System which manages the duration of use of certain functions to conserve a sufficient level of charge in the battery. After the engine has stopped, you can still use functions such as the audio and telematics system, windscreen wipers, dipped beam headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc. for a maximum combined duration of thirty minutes. This period may be greatly reduced if the battery is not fully charged.
If the telephone is being used at this time:
- it will be maintained for 5 minutes
with the hands-free kit of your PEUGEOT Connect Sound or PEUGEOT Connect Navigation, - it will still be possible to finish the call with the PEUGEOT Connect Media.
Let the engine run for the duration specified to ensure that the battery charge is sufficient.
Do not repeatedly and continuously restart the engine in order to charge the battery. A flat battery prevents the engine from starting (refer to the "Battery" paragraph).

Changing a wiper blade
Removing
 Raise the corresponding wiper arm.  Unclip the wiper blade and remove it.
Fitting
 Put the corresponding new wiper blade in place and clip it.  Fold down the wiper arm carefully.
Before removing a front
wiper blade
 Within one minute after switching off the ignition, operate the wiper stalk to position the wiper blades vertically on the windscreen.
After fitting a front wiper
blade
 Switch on the ignition.  Operate the wiper stalk again to park the wiper blades.
Towing the vehicle
Access to the tools
The towing eye is installed under the left-hand concertina board, in the boot interior trim. To gain access to it:  open the boot,  raise the concertina board,  remove the towing eye from the holder.
Procedure for having your vehicle towed or for towing another vehicle using a removable towing eye.

Practical information249
Towing your vehicle
 On the front bumper, unclip the cover by pressing at the bottom.  Screw the towing eye in fully.  Install the towing bar.  Switch on the hazard warning lamps on the towed vehicle.
 On the rear bumper, unclip the cover by pressing at the bottom.  Screw the towing eye in fully.  Install the towing bar.  Switch on the hazard warning lamps on the towed vehicle.
Towing another vehicle
Put the gear lever into neutral (position N for an electronic or automatic gearbox). Failure to follow this instruction could lead to damage to certain components
(brakes, transmission, ...) and the absence of braking assistance on restarting the engine.
General
recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in your c o unt r y. Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle is higher than that of the towed vehicle. The driver must remain at the wheel of the towed vehicle and must have a valid driving licence. When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, always use an approved towing bar; rope and straps are prohibited. When towing a vehicle with the engine off, there is no longer any power assistance for braking or steering.
In the following cases, you must always call on a professional recovery service: - vehicle broken down on a motor way or fast road, - 4 wheel drive vehicle, - when it is not possible to put the gearbox into neutral, unlock the steering, or release the parking brake, - towing with only two wheels on the ground,
- where there is no approved towing bar available...

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
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a trailer or installation of a bicycle carrier, with additional lighting and signalling.
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.
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 fitting of the towbar is
entrusted to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. If the towbar is not fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative that it is fitted in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's instructions.
Driving with a trailer places greater demands on the towing vehicle and the driver must take particular care.
Refer to the "Technical data" section for details of the weights and towed loads which apply to your vehicle.

Practical information251
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.
 If the warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as possible.
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.
The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a genuine PEUGEOT towbar is used.

Practical information
252
Fitting roof bars
When fitting transverse roof bars, use the four quick-fit fixings provided for this purpose:  lift the concealing flaps,  open the fixing covers on each bar using
the key,  put each fixing in place and lock them on the roof one by one,  ensure that roof bars are correctly fitted (by shaking them),  close the fixing covers on each bar using the key.
If your vehicle is fitted with roof finishers, do not use them for carrying loads.
Maximum authorised weight on the roof rack, for a loading height not exceeding 40 cm (with the exception of bicycle c a r r i e r s): 65 kg. If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the speed of the vehicle to the profile of the road to avoid damaging the roof bars and the fixings on the roof. Be sure to refer to national legislation in order to comply with the regulations for transporting objects that are longer than the vehicle.

Practical information253
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.
Very cold climate screen
 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.
Fitting
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.
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).
