Retrieving the service
information
You can access the service information at any
time.

Trip recorder reset
Following this operation, if you wish to
disconnect the battery, lock the vehicle
and wait at least five minutes for the
zero reset to be registered.
Service indicator zero reset
After each service, the service indicator must
be reset to zero.
If you have carried out the service on your
vehicle yourself:
F switch off the ignition,
F press and hold the trip distance recorder
zero reset button,
F switch on the ignition; the distance recorder
display begins a countdown,
F when the display indicates "=0" , release
the button; the spanner disappears.
For BlueHDi Diesel versions, this
alert is also accompanied by the fixed
illumination of the Service warning
lamp, when the ignition is switched on.
The distance remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, depending
on the driving conditions.
Therefore, the spanner may also come
on if you have exceeded the period
since the last service, indicated in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
For BlueHDi Diesel versions, the
spanner can also come on early,
according to the degree of deterioration
of the engine oil. The deterioration
of the engine oil depends on the
conditions in which the vehicle is used.

General points
For maximum safety, please observe the
following recommendations:
- in accordance with European regulations,
all children under the age of 12 or less
than one and a half metres tall must
travel in approved child seats suited to
their weight , on seats fitted with a seat
belt or ISOFIX mountings*,
- statistically, the safest seats in your
vehicle for carr ying children are the
rear seats,
- a child weighing less than 9 kg must
travel in the rear ward facing position
both in the front and in the rear. PEUGEOT recommends
that children
should travel in the outer rear seats of
your vehicle:
- rearward facing up to the age of 3,
- forward facing over the age of 3.
Although one of PEUGEOT main criteria when
designing your vehicle, the safety of your
children also depends on you.
* The regulations on carrying children are
specific to each country. Refer to the
legislation in force in your country.

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 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.
F 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
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.
Refer to the "Technical data" section for details
of the weights and towed loads which apply to
your vehicle.

To w i n g
Access to the tools
The towing eye is installed in the boot under
t h e f l o o r.
To gain access to it:
F open the boot,
F lift the floor and remove it,
F remove the towing eye from the holder.
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 arm; rope and straps are prohibited.
The towing vehicle must move off gently.
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,
- four-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 arm
available...
Procedure for having your vehicle towed or
for towing another vehicle using a removable
towing eye.

General information
Engine characteristicsWeights and towed loads
The kerb weight is equal to the unladen
weight + driver (75 kg).
The gross train weight and towed load values
indicated apply up to a maximum altitude of
1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned must
be reduced by 10 % for every additional
1 000 metres.
The weight of the braked trailer can be
increased, within the GTW limit, on condition
that the GV W of the towing vehicle is reduced
by the same amount.
The recommended nose weight is the vertical
load on the towbar ball (removable with or
without tools). High ambient temperatures may result
in a reduction in the per formance of
the vehicle to protect the engine; when
the ambient temperature is higher than
37 °C, limit the towed weight.
Towing with a lightly loaded vehicle can
adversely affect roadholding.
Braking distances are increased when
towing a trailer.
Never exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) when
towing (comply with the legislation in
force in your country).
GV W:
gross vehicle weight, the maximum authorised vehicle weight.
GT W: gross train weight, the maximum authorised weight of vehicle
plus trailer.
The engine characteristics (capacity,
maximum power, maximum power speed, fuel,
CO
2 emissions...) for your vehicle are given in
the registration document, as well as in sales
brochures.
These characteristics correspond to the
values type-approved on a test bed, under
conditions defined in European legislation
(Directive 1999/99/EC).
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop. The maximum weights and towed loads for your
vehicle are given are given in the registration
document, as well as in sales brochures.
These values are also present on the
manufacturer's plate or label.
See the "Identification markings" section.
