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 more information on the Technical
data of the vehicle and particularly on
weights and towable loads, refer to the
corresponding section.
You will then have information on your vehicle's
ability to tow a
trailer, a caravan, a boat, etc.
We recommend the use of genuine
PEUGEOT towbars and their harnesses
that have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle, and
that the fitting of the towbar is entrusted
to a
member of the PEUGEOT dealer
network.
These genuine towbars are compatible
with the operation of the rear parking
sensors and the reversing camera, if your
vehicle is so equipped.
If the towbar is not fitted by a
PEUGEOT
dealer, it must still be fitted in accordance
with the vehicle manufacturer's
instructions.Towbar with quickly

121
Before each use
Check that the towball is correctly locked by
verifying the following points:
- the green mark on the locking wheel is in line with the green mark on the towball,
- the locking wheel is in contact with the towball,- the security lock is locked and the key removed; the locking wheel can no longer be
operated,
- the towball must not be able to move in its carrier; test by trying to shake it with your hand.
During 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 Vehicle
Weight – GV W), the trailer, or the sum of
the two (the Gross Train Weight – GTW).
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 towball
F Below the rear bumper, remove the protective plug from the towball carrier.
F

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.
Roof carrying systems
F Remove the towball downwards from its carrier 1 .
F

R
elease the locking wheel; this
automatically stops in the unlocked position
(position B ).
F

R
efit the protective plug to the carrier.
F

C
arefully stow the towball in its bag away
from knocks and dirt. For reasons of safety and to avoid damaging
the roof, it is essential to use a
carrying system
(roof bars or roof rack) that is approved for your
vehicle.
Roof bars can only be fitted to a
van, combi
or minibus model of height H1
or H2. On
a
minibus, check for the presence of roof air
conditioning units.
The carrying system must always be secured to
the fitting points provided on the
vehicle's roof: 6, 8
or 10, depending on the
wheelbase of the vehicle.
Obser ve the instructions for fitting and use
provided with the carrying system.

To w i n g
General recommendations
Obser ve the legislation in force in your
c o u nt r y.
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
towbar; rope and straps are prohibited.
The towing vehicle must move off gently.
When the vehicle is towed with its engine
off, there is no longer braking and steering
assistance.
In the following cases, you must always
call on a
professional recovery ser vice:
-

v
ehicle broken down on a motor way or
main road,
-
f

our-wheel drive vehicle,
-

w
hen it is not possible to put the
gearbox into neutral, unlock the
steering, or release the parking brake,
-

t
owing with only two wheels on the
ground,
-

w
here there is no approved towbar
available.
The charging operation must be carried
out in a

ventilated area away from naked
flames or any possible sources of sparks
to eliminate the risk of explosion and fire.
Do not try to charge a

frozen battery: it
must first be thawed out to avoid the risk
of explosion. If the battery has frozen,
before charging it have it checked by
a

specialist who will verify that the internal
components have not been damaged and
that the case is not cracked, which could
mean that there is a

risk of a

leak of toxic
and corrosive acid.
Proceed with a

slow charge at low current
for a

maximum of about 24

hours to avoid
damaging the battery.
Charging the battery using
a battery charger
F Go to the battery located in the front left
f l o o r.
F

D
isconnect the battery.
F

F
ollow the instructions for use provided by
the manufacturer of the charger.
F

R
econnect starting with the negative (-)
terminal.
F

C
heck the condition of the terminals and
clamps. If they are covered with sulphate
(whitish or greenish deposits), disconnect
them and clean them all.
After refitting of the battery by
a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop, the Stop & Start system will
only be active after a
continuous period
of immobilisation of the vehicle, a period
which depends on the climatic conditions
and the state of charge of the battery (up
to about 8
hours).
The presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a
12 V lead-acid battery with
special technology and specification; the
involvement of a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a
qualified workshop is essential when
replacing or disconnecting the battery.

Engine technical data and
towed loads
Engines
The engine characteristics are given in the
vehicle's registration document, as well as in
sales brochures.The maximum power corresponds to the
value type-approved on a
test bed, under
conditions defined in European legislation
(Directive 1999/99/EC).
For more information, contact a
PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Weights and towed loads
The maximum weights and towed loads for
your vehicle are given in the registration
document, as well as in sales brochures.
These values are also given on the
manufacturer's plate or label.
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a
qualified workshop. The GTW and towed load values indicated are
valid up to a
maximum altitude of 1,000 metres.
The towed load value must be reduced by 10%
for each additional 1,000 metres of altitude.
The maximum authorised nose weight
corresponds to the weight permitted on the
towbar (which can be dismantled with or
without a tool).
GT W: Gross train weight.
High exterior temperatures may result
in a reduction in the per formance of
the vehicle to protect the engine. If the
exterior temperature is above 37°C, limit
the towed load.
Towing with a towing vehicle which is only
slightly laden may negatively affect its
handling.
Towing a
trailer increases the braking
distance.
When towing, never exceed the speed
of 62
mph (100 km/h) (obser ve the local
legislation in force). If the exterior temperature is high, it is
recommended that the engine be allowed
to idle for 1
to 2 minutes after the vehicle
comes to a stop, to facilitate its cooling.
