select the Charge page.
►

Set the charging start time.
►


Press
OK.
The setting is saved in the system.
With PEUGEOT Connect Radio or PEUGEOT
Connect Nav
You can also programme the deferred charging function at any time from a
smartphone via the MYPEUGEOT APP
application.
For more information on Remote functions,
refer to the corresponding section.
Activation
► Connect the vehicle to the desired charging
equipment.
► Press this button in the flap within one
minute to activate deferred charging
(confirmed by the light guides coming on in
blue).
Towing device
Load distribution
► 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 towable load
must be reduced by 10% per 1,000
metres of
altitude.
Use genuine towing devices and wiring
harnesses approved by PEUGEOT. We
recommend having them fitted by a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
If not fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer, they must
still be fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Important: if the vehicle has a motorised
tailgate and Hands-Free Tailgate Access

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 electricity-consuming equipment
on both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, etc.).
Make sure that the jump leads are well away
from the engine’s moving parts (fan, belt,
etc.).
