flashes to indicate that the service must be carried out as soon as
possible.
Example: the service is overdue by 300 miles (300
km).
For a few seconds after the ignition is switched on, the central screen \
indicates:
The spanner remains on in the small screen
to indicate that a service should have been
carried out.
The distance remaining may be weighted by the time factor,
depending on the type of motoring the vehicle is used for.
Therefore, the spanner may also come on if you have exceeded
the
period since the last service specified in the manufacturer's
service schedule.
This indication applies only to HDi Diesel engines.

the safety of your children also depends on you.Only children between 9 and 18 kg can be carried on the rear
seats in a forward facing universal ISOFI
x child seat.
When a forward facing child seat is installed on a rear passenger
seat, move the vehicle's front seat forward and straighten its
backrest so that the child seat and the child's feet do not touch the
vehicle's front seat.

TOWING A VEHICLE
TOWING EYE
This is stored in the boot under the floor.
For access to it:
F
open the boot,
F
raise the floor using the strap,
F
secure it in the vertical position beyond the stops, located on the
sides of the boot,
F
remove the towing eye from the storage box.
GENERAL RECOMMEN d ATIONS
Observe the legislation in force in your country.
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 motorway 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...

TOWING A TRAILER
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a trailer with additional lighting \
and signalling.
We recommend use of the PEUGEOT genuine towbar with ball
which can be removed without tools and its harness 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 trailer is fitted outside the PEUGEOT
dealer network, it must
be
fitted in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
dRIVING Ad VICE
Driving with a trailer subjects the towing vehicle to more significant stress and its driver must be particularly careful.
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 towing load must be reduced by
10
% and so on for every 1 000 metres of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical data" section for details of the weights and
towing loads which apply to your vehicle version.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for transporting people and luggage,
but it may also be used for towing a trailer. Versions that have asymmetrical twin exhaust tailpipes cannot be
fitted
with
a
towbar.

f the vehicle to protect the engine; when the ambient temperature is
higher than 37 °C, limit the towed weight.
