In case of towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.
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. The maximum
towed load must be reduced by 10% for every
1,000
metres of altitude.
Please respect the maximum towable
weights.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to 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

T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towable load on an incline
depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
F

I
f this warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
New vehicle
Do not pull a trailer before having driven at
least 600
miles (1,000 kilometres).
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes, 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 and the headlamp beam height
of your vehicle.
For more information on Adjusting the
headlamp beam height , refer to the
corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the
audible signal if a genuine PEUGEOT
towbar is used.

Bonnet
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to
avoid any risk of injury resulting from an
automatic change to START mode.
The location of the interior bonnet release
lever prevents opening of the bonnet when
the left-hand front door is shut.
When the engine is hot, handle the
exterior safety catch and the stay with
care (risk of burns), using the protected
area.
When the bonnet is open, take care not to
damage the safety catch.
Do not open the bonnet under very windy
conditions.

Checking levels
Check all of these levels regularly, in line with
the manufacturer's service schedule. Top them
up if necessary, unless other wise indicated.
If a level drops significantly, have the
corresponding system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.Take care when working under the bonnet,
as certain areas of the engine may be
extremely hot (risk of burns) and the
cooling fan could start at any time (even
with the ignition off).
Used products
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to health
or indeed very corrosive.Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop and dispose
of it in the containers reser ved for this
purpose.
Engine oil level
The check is carried out either when
the ignition is switched on using the
oil level indicator in the instrument
panel for vehicles equipped with an
electric gauge, or using the dipstick.
To ensure that the reading is correct, your
vehicle must be parked on a level sur face
with the engine stopped for more than
30


minutes.
It is normal to top up the oil level between
two ser vices (or oil changes). PEUGEOT
recommends that you check the level, and top
up if necessary, every 3,000
miles (5,000 km).
Checking using the dipstick
The location of the dipstick is shown in the
corresponding underbonnet layout view.
F
T
ake the dipstick by its coloured grip and
pull it out completely.
F

W
ipe the end of the dipstick using a clean
non-fluffy cloth.
F

R
efit the dipstick and push fully down, then
pull it out again to make the visual check:
the correct level is between marks A and B .A = MA X
B = MIN
If you find that the level is above the A mark or
below the B mark, do not star t the engine .
-
I
f the level is above the MAX
mark (risk of
damage to the engine), contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
-
I
f the level is below the MIN
mark, you must
top up the engine oil.Oil grade
Before topping up the oil or changing the oil,
check that the oil is the correct grade for your
engine and conforms to the manufacturer's
recommendations.

corresponding underbonnet layout view.
F
U
nscrew the oil filler cap to access the filler
opening.
F

A
dd oil in small quantities, avoiding any
spills on engine components (risk of fire).
F

W
ait a few minutes before checking the
level again using the dipstick.
F

A
dd more oil if necessary.
F

A
fter checking the level, carefully refit the oil
filler cap and the dipstick in its tube.
After topping up the oil, the check when
switching on the ignition with the oil level
indicator in the instrument panel is not
valid during the 30
minutes after topping
up.
Engine oil change
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the inter val for this operation.
In order to maintain the reliability of the engine
and emissions control system, never use
additives in the engine oil.
Brake fluid level
The fluid level should be close to the
"MA X" mark. If it is not, check the
brake pad wear.
Changing the coolant
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the inter val for this operation.
Fluid specification
This fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Coolant level
Check the coolant level regularly.
It is normal to top up the fluid
between two services.
The check and top-up must only be done with
the engine cold.
A low coolant level presents a risk of serious
damage to your engine.
The coolant level should be close to the "MA X"
mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the "MIN" mark,
it is essential to top up. When the engine is hot, the temperature of the
coolant is regulated by the fan.
In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying out any
work.
To avoid the risk of scalding when you need to
top up in an emergency, place a cloth around
the cap and unscrew the cap by two turns to
allow the pressure to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up to the required level.
The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might be
caught by the fan blades.Fluid specification
This fluid must conform to the manufacturer's
recommendations.
Screenwash fluid level
Top up to the required level when
necessary.
