   Towing  a  trailer   
ACCESSORIES

  Good  Practice 
 In certain cases of particularly arduous 
use (towing the maximum load up a 
steep slope in high temperatures), the 
engine automatically limits its power. 
In this case,  the air conditioning is 
automatically cut off to save engine 
power.   Tyres  
 Check the tyre pressures of the 
towing vehicle (see the "Identifi cation 
markings" section of chapter 8) and of 
the trailer, observing the recommended 
pressures. 
 See the "Levels" section of chapter 6. 
 If the coolant temperature 
warning lamp comes on, stop 
the vehicle and switch off the 
engine as soon as possible.   Brakes  
 Towing increases the braking distance. 
Drive at a moderate speed, change 
down early and brake gradually. 
  Towbar 
 We recommend the use of genuine 
PEUGEOT towbars and their 
harnesses, which have been tested 
and approved from the design stage of 
your vehicle, and that you entrust the 
fi tting of this equipment to a PEUGEOT 
dealer. 
 If this equipment is not fi tted by a 
PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative that 
it is fi tted using the electrical pre-
equipment installed at the rear of the 
vehicle and in accordance with the 
manufacturer's instructions. 
 In accordance with the general 
instructions a reminder of which has 
been given above, we draw your 
attention to the risk associated with 
fi tting a towbar or electrical accessory 
not recommended by PEUGEOT. 
Fitting such equipment could result in 
the failure of your vehicle's electronic 
system. Please obtain information from 
the Manufacturer before fi tting this type 
of  equipment.  
  Side wind  
 Sensitivity to side wind is increased. 
Drive smoothly and at a moderate 
speed. 
  ABS/DSC  
 The ABS or DSC systems only control 
the vehicle, not the trailer or caravan. 
  Rear parking sensors  
 The parking sensors system does not 
function while the vehicle is towing.   

   Checks   
138
 CHECKS 
  Carbon filter and passenger compartment filter   Particle emission filter (Diesel) 
 Maintenance of the particle emission 
fi lter must be carried out by a 
PEUGEOT dealer. 
 On acceleration after the vehicle has 
been running for a prolonged period 
at very low speed or at idle, you may, 
in exceptional circumstances, notice 
the emission of water vapour at the 
exhaust. This water vapour does not 
have any adverse effect on vehicle 
handling or the environment.  
  Battery 
 At the start of winter, have your battery 
checked by a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualifi ed workshop.  
  Brake  pads 
 Brake pad wear depends on the style 
of driving, in particular for vehicles 
which are used in town, over short 
distances. It may be necessary to 
check the thickness of the pads, even 
between services. 
 Unless there is a leak on the circuit, a 
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates 
that the brake pads are worn.  
  Brake disc / drum wear 
 For information on checking the brake 
disc / drum wear, consult a PEUGEOT 
dealer.  
  Parking  brake 
 Where the parking brake travel is too great 
or there is a reduction in the performance 
of the system, the parking brake should be 
adjusted, even between services. 
 Have the system checked by a 
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed 
workshop.  
  Oil  filter 
 Change the fi lter regularly in 
accordance with the servicing 
schedule.  
 An access fl ap allows replacement of 
the fi lters. 
 The carbon fi lter permits continuous 
and effective fi ltering of dust. 
 If the passenger compartment fi lter 
becomes blocked, this may reduce the 
performance of the air conditioning 
system and generate unpleasant 
odours. 
 We recommend the use of a combined 
passenger compartment fi lter. By 
means of its second special active 
fi lter, it contributes to the purifi cation 
of the air breathed by the occupants 
and the cleanness of the passenger 
compartment (reduction of allergic 
symptoms, unpleasant odours and 
greasy deposits). 
 Refer to the servicing and warranty 
booklet for the replacement interval for 
these components.   Depending on the environment (dusty 
atmosphere...) and the use of the 
vehicle (urban driving...), change them 
twice as often if necessary.   

   Changing  a  wheel

QUICK HELP 
7
  1. PARKING THE VEHICLE 
   -   The occupants must get out of the vehicle and wait in a safe location. 
  -   If possible, park the vehicle on  level, stable and non-slippery 
ground. 
  -   Apply the parking brake, switch  off the ignition and engage fi rst or 
reverse gear.    -   If available, place a chock under 
the wheel diagonally opposite the 
one to be changed.  
 If the vehicle is fi tted with a towbar, 
it is sometimes necessary to raise 
the vehicle slightly to make it easier 
to remove the spare wheel from its 
carrier. 
 On certain types of ground and/
or if considerable loads are being 
transported, call a PEUGEOT dealer or 
a qualifi ed workshop.  
 CHANGING  A  WHEEL 
  2.  TOOLS 
   -   The tools are stowed in a storage  compartment located under the left 
hand front seat. If necessary, move 
the seat to access the storage 
compartment from the rear. 
  -   Unscrew the nut then take out the  jack and the wheelbrace.  
   1.   Wheelbrace. 
  2.   Jack. 
  3.   Towing  eye. 
  4.   Chock.  
 The jack and the tool kit are specifi c to 
your vehicle. Do not use them for other 
purposes.   

   Snow  chains   
150
     SNOW  CHAINS 
  In wintry conditions, snow chains 
improve traction as well as the 
behaviour of the vehicle when braking.    The snow chains must be 
fi tted only to the driving wheels. 
They must never be fi tted to 
"space-saver" type spare wheels.  
  Take account of the legislation in 
force in your country on the use 
of snow chains and the maximum 
running speed authorised.     Advice  on  installation 
      If you have to fi t the chains during 
a journey, stop the vehicle on a fl at 
surface on the side of the road. 
     Apply the parking brake and  position any wheel chocks to 
prevent movement of your vehicle. 
     Fit the chains following the  instructions provided by the 
manufacturer. 
     Move off gently and drive for a  few moments, without exceeding 
30 mph (50 km/h). 
     Stop your vehicle and check that  the snow chains are correctly 
tightened.   
  Avoid driving on roads that have 
been cleared of snow, to avoid 
damaging your vehicle's tyres and 
the road surface. It is recommended 
that before you leave, you practise 
fi tting the snow chains on a level and 
dry surface. If your vehicle is fi tted with 
alloy wheels, check that no part of the 
chain or its fi xings is in contact with the 
wheel  rim.   
   Use only the chains designed to be 
fi tted to the type of wheel fi tted to your 
vehicle: 
 For more information on snow chains, 
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualifi ed workshop.
