remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates certain
functions, such as the air conditioning and the
heated rear screen.
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.
Snow chains must be fitted only to the
front wheels. They must never be fitted to
"space-saver" type spare wheels.
Observe the legislation in force in your
country relating to the use of snow
chains and maximum authorised speeds.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
Original tyre size Link size: (mm) 195/65 R15 9
205/60 R16
205/55 R17
215/65 R16
215/60 R17 Cannot be fitted with
chains
You can also use snow socks.
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Installation tips
► To fit the snow chains during a journey, stop
the vehicle on a flat surface at the side of the
road.
►

Apply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent
movement of the vehicle.
►


Fit the snow chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer

.
►

Move off gently and drive for a few moments,
without exceeding 31

mph (50 km/h).
►

Stop the vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
It is strongly recommended that you
practise fitting the snow chains on a level
and dry surface before setting off.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads that have been cleared of snow to avoid
damaging the vehicle's tyres and the road
surface. If the vehicle is fitted with alloy
wheels, check that no part of the chain or its
fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
Very cold climate screen
(Depending on country of sale)
This removable device prevents the
accumulation of snow around the radiator
cooling fan.

In case of difficulty with installation/
removal
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Before any operation, ensure that the
engine is off and the cooling fan has
stopped.
It is essential to remove them when:
– the outside temperature exceeds
10°C.
–

recovery is in progress.
–


the speed is above 75 mph (120
km/h).

Towing device
Depending on version, the vehicle is
fitted with the necessary equipment to
allow a towing device to be installed.
To install a towing device, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Load distribution
►

Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to the

188
Practical information
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.
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid functions
are automatically deactivated while an
approved towing system is in use.
For more information about driving with a
towing device fitted to a trailer and associated
with the Trailer stability assist, refer to the
corresponding section.
Comply with the maximum authorised
towable weight, as indicated on your
vehicle's registration certificate, on the
manufacturer's label and in the Technical
data section of this guide.
If using accessories attached to the
towing device (e.g. bicycle carriers, tow
boxes):
–

Comply with the maximum authorised nose
weight.
– Do not transport more than 4 conventional
bicycles or 2 electric bicycles.
When loading bicycles onto a bicycle carrier
on a towball, be sure to place the heaviest
bicycles as close as possible to the vehicle.
Observe the legislation in force in the
country where you are driving.
Electric motor
An electric vehicle may be fitted with a
towing device.
It is therefore possible to tow a trailer or
caravan.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or qualified
workshop for more information and to obtain a
suitable towing device.
Overload indicator

The overload indicator is a driving aid and
informs you that the maximum authorised
weight has been exceeded; this may be either
the gross vehicle weight (GVW) or the maximum
authorised weight on either axle (front and rear)
(GAWR).
The indicator does not relieve the user from their responsibility.
Even if you correctly measure the weight
of the vehicle's load, any factor that may
vary this weight (driver/additional passengers
seated or taking on additional fuel) after the
measurement may put the vehicle into the
overload condition.


The load includes the weight of the items stored in the loading area (including any
fittings such as shelves), but also the weight
of all persons on board the vehicle, the
amount of fuel (depending on version) and
various equipment fitted on the vehicle.
For optimal performance, the vehicle must
be parked and loaded on level ground (avoid
the following conditions: parking on a slope or
straddling a pavement).
Attaching a trailer to your vehicle may affect the operation of the system.

Roof bars / Roof rack
Recommendations
Distribute the load uniformly, taking care
to avoid overloading one of the sides.
Arrange the heaviest part of the load as close
as possible to the roof.
Secure the load firmly.
Drive gently: the vehicle will be more
susceptible to the effects of side winds and its
stability may be affected.
Regularly check the security and tight
fastening of the roof bars and racks, at least
before each trip.
Remove the roof bars once they are no longer
needed.
In the event of loading ( not exceeding
40 cm in height) on the roof, do not
exceed the following loads:
–

T

ransverse bars on longitudinal bars:
80

kg.
–

T

wo transverse bars bolted to the roof:
100

kg.
–

Three transverse bars bolted to the roof:
150


kg.
–

kg.
–

A

steel rack: 115 kg.
If the height exceeds 40
cm, adapt the speed
of the vehicle to the profile of the road to
avoid damaging the roof bars or the roof rack
and the fixings on the vehicle.
Refer to national legislation in order to comply
with the regulations for transporting objects
that are longer than the vehicle.

190
Practical information
In the event of loading a 7-seat model
(not exceeding 40 cm in height) on the
roof, do not exceed the following loads:
–

Three transverse bars bolted to the roof:
100


kg.
–

As a safety measure and to avoid damaging the roof, it is essential to use
the roof bars and racks approved for your
vehicle.
Observe the instructions on fitting and use
contained in the guide supplied with the roof
bars and racks.


To fit the transverse roof bars or a roof rack, use
the fixing points provided for this purpose:
►

Remove the fixing covers installed on the
vehicle.
►


Put each fixing in place and lock them on the
roof one by one.
► Ensure that the roof bars or the roof rack are
correctly fitted (by shaking them).
The bars are adaptable for each fixing point.
