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 and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures. Chapter 7, "Levels" section.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
fitting of this equipment to a PEUGEOT
dealer.
If this equipment is not fitted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative that
it is fitted 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
fitting 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 fitting 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.
Parking sensors
The rear parking sensors system does
not function while the vehicle is towing.

markings" section.

with the fitting of equipment of these
families of products mean that the
special features of the equipment and
its compatibility with the capacities of
the your vehicle's standard equipment
must be taken into account. Please
contact a PEUGEOT dealer for
more information before fitting such

open.
Before closing the bonnet, put the stay
back in its clip without using excessive
force.

in a flat hand, palm down, to make
access to the lever easier.
With this hand, push the safety catch
to the left. Raise the bonnet.

CHECKS
Carbon filter and passenger
compartment filter
An access flap allows replacement of
the filters.
The carbon filter permits continuous
and effective filtering of dust.
If the passenger compartment filter
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 filter. By
means of its second special active
filter, it contributes to the purification
of the air breathed by the occupants
and the cleanness of the passenger
compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, unpleasant odours and
greasy deposits).
Battery
At the start of summer or winter, have
your battery checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified 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 fluid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.
Brake disc / drum wear
For information on checking the brake
disc / drum wear, contact 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 qualified workshop.
Refer to theservicing 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.
