Following use
When travelling without a trailer or load
on a
towbar-mounted carrier, the towball
must be removed and the protective plug
inserted in the carrier. This measure
applies particularly where the towball
might obscure visibility of the number
plate or its lighting.
Fitting the towballDuring use
Never release the locking system with
a
trailer or load carrier on the towball.
Never exceed the maximum authorised
weight for the vehicle – the Gross Train
Weight or GTW.
It is essential that the maximum
authorised load be complied with on the
towing device: if it is exceeded, this device
may detach from the vehicle, which is
a
serious accident risk.
Check that the trailer lamps work
c o r r e c t l y.
Before setting off, check the adjustment of
the headlamp beam height.

Maintenance
Correct operation is only possible if the towball
and its carrier are kept clean.
Before cleaning the vehicle with a high-
pressure jet wash, the towball must be removed
and the protective plug fitted to the carrier.
Apply the label provided to a
clearly visible
area, close to the carrier or in the boot.
Go to a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop for any work on the towbar
system.
Load reduction mode
System which manages the use of certain
functions according to the level of charge
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates
certain functions, such as air conditioning,
heated rear screen, etc.
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.

Energy economy mode
System which manages the duration of use of
certain functions to conser ve a sufficient level
of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can
still use functions such as the audio and
telematics system, windscreen wipers, dipped
beam headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc. for
a
maximum combined duration of about forty
minutes.
Switching to this mode
A message appears in the instrument panel
screen indicating that the vehicle has switched
to economy mode and the active functions are
put on standby.
If a
telephone call is being made at this
time, it will be maintained for around
10
minutes with the Bluetooth hands-free
system of your audio system.
Exiting the mode
These functions will be automatically restored
the next time the vehicle is used.
In order to restore the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it run:

Changing a bulb
The headlamps have polycarbonate
lenses with a
protective coating:
F
d
o not clean them using a dr y or
abrasive cloth, nor with a
detergent
or solvent product,
F
u
se a sponge and soapy water or a pH
neutral product,
F
w
hen using a high pressure washer
on persistent marks, do not keep the
lance directed towards the lamps or
their edges for too long, so as not to
damage their protective coating and
seals.
Changing a
bulb must only be done with
the ignition off and after the headlamp has
been switched off for several minutes –
Risk of serious burns!
F
D
o not touch the bulb directly with your
fingers, use a
lint-free cloth.
It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet
(UV) type bulbs, so as not to damage the
headlamp.
Always replace a
failed bulb with a new
bulb with the same type and specification. In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal sur face of the
glass of the headlamps and rear lamps is
normal; it disappears after the lamps have
been on for a
few minutes.
Light emitting diodes (LED)
For the replacement of this type of bulb,
you must contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a
qualified workshop.
Halogen bulbs
To ensure good quality lighting, check
that the bulb is correctly positioned in its
housing.

Changing direction indicator
bulbs (on models with halogen
headlamps)
Quicker flashing of the direction indicator
lamp (left or right) indicates the failure of
one of the bulbs on the corresponding
side.
Amber colour bulbs, such as the direction
indicators, must be replaced by bulbs with
identical colour and specifications. To refit, close the protective cover very
carefully to guarantee the leak-tightness
of the lamp.

For right-hand drive vehicles, when the
total distance recorder has reached
62 miles (100 km), it is necessary to wait
approx. 15
minutes before starting the
engine.
However, if minor problems persist following
this operation, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a
qualified workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section, you
must yourself reinitialise or reset certain
systems, such as:
-
t
he key with remote control or electronic key
(depending on version),
-
t
he sunroof and its electric blind,
-
t
he electric windows,
-
t
he date and time,
-
t
he preset radio stations. The Stop & Start system may not be
operational during the trip following the
first engine start.
In this case, the system will only be
available again after a
continuous
period of immobilisation of the vehicle,
a period which depends on the exterior
temperature and the state of charge of the
battery (up to about 8 hours).
Do not force the lever as locking will not
be possible if the clamp is not positioned
correctly; start the procedure again.
Following reconnection of the
battery
After reconnecting the battery, turn on the
ignition and wait 1
minute before starting
the engine, in order to enable the electronic
systems to initialise.
Towing the vehicle
Procedure for having your vehicle towed or
for towing another vehicle using a removable
towing eye.
Access to the tools
Depending on version, the towing eye is stored
either in the interior trim of the boot sill, left
hand side, or in a
bag behind the left rear seat.
For more information on Access to the tools ,
refer to the corresponding section.
