2018 Peugeot Boxer Electric fan

Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
t emperature 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 620
miles (1,000 kilometres).
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o 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 Headlamp
beam height adjustment , 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.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The keys contain an electronic immobiliser
device.
This device locks the engine supply system.
It activates automatically when the key is
removed from the ignition.
This warning lamp goes off after the
key has been recognised, the ignition is
switched on and the engine can be started.
If the key is not recognised, the engine
cannot be started. Use another key
and have the faulty key checked by
a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Note the number of the keys carefully;
in case of loss, inter vention by the
PEUGEOT dealer will be more efficient
and quicker if you present this number and
the confidential card.
When the ignition switch is turned on, a
dialogue is set up between the key and the
electronic immobiliser.
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic immobiliser system.
Operating the remote control, even when it
is in your pocket, may result in involuntary
unlocking of the doors.
The simultaneous use of other high
frequency equipment (mobile telephones,
domestic alarms, etc.), may inter fere
with the operation of the remote control
temporarily.
The remote control does not operate
while the key is in the ignition, even if the
ignition is off, except for reinitialisation.

For access to the reser voir filler cap, remove
the protective cover by turning its three fixing
screws a quarter turn, then remove the second
cover fitted to the cap.
Engine coolant level
Check the coolant level regularly.
It is normal to top up this fluid
between two services.
Check the coolant level regularly,
according to the use made of your vehicle
(every 3,000
miles (5,000 km)/3 months);
if necessary, top up using coolant
recommended by the manufacturer.
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.
When the engine is hot, the temperature of the
coolant is regulated by the electric fan. This
may operate with the ignition off; furthermore,
because the cooling system is under pressure,
wait for at least one hour after the engine has
stopped before carrying out any work. F

To p p i n g u p
The level must be between the MIN and MAX
marks on the expansion bottle.
As close as possible to the MAX mark is
recommended.
If more than 1

up the level, have the system checked by
a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Check beforehand that the backup
battery has a
nominal voltage of 12 V and
a
capacity at least equal to that of the
discharged battery.
The two vehicles must not be in contact
with each other.
Switch off all the electrical consumers
on both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, etc.).
Make sure that the jump leads are not
close to moving parts of the engine (fan,
belts, etc.).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while
the engine is running.
After every reconnection of the battery, switch
on the ignition and wait 1

minute before
starting to allow the electronic systems to be
initialised. If slight difficulties are experienced
after this, please contact a

PEUGEOT dealer or
a


qualified workshop. The positive battery terminal A is accessible
via an access cover located at the side of the
fusebox.
Make connections only to the points indicated
and illustrated above. If you fail to follow this
instruction there is the danger of a
short-circuit!
