LOAD REDUCTION MODE

System which manages the use of cer-

tain 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 the air condition-

ing, the heated rear screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivat-

ed automatically as soon as conditions

permit.

TOWING THE VEHICLE

Procedure for having your vehicle towed

or for towing another vehicle using a re-

movable towing eye.

Access to the tools

Towing your vehicle

) On the front bumper, pull on the cover

to unclip it.

  )   Screw the towing eye in fully.
  )   Install the towing bar.
  )   Switch on the hazard warning lamps

on the towed vehicle.

The towing eye is stowed in the boot

under the fl oor.
To gain access to it:
   )   open the boot,
  )  raise the fl oor,
  )   secure it by hooking its cord on the

hook on the rear parcel shelf sup-

port,

) remove the towing eye from the

holder.

) Place the gear lever in neutral

(position

N on an automatic

gearbox).

Failure to comply with this special

requirement may result in damage

to certain braking components

and the absence of braking assis-

tance the next time the engine is

started.

General recommendations

Observe the legislation in force in

your country.
Ensure that the weight of the tow-

ing vehicle is higher than that of

the towed vehicle.
The driver must stay at the wheel

of the towed vehicle.
Driving on motorways and fast

roads is prohibited when towing.
When towing a vehicle with all four

wheels on the ground, always use

an approved towing bar; rope and

straps are prohibited.
When towing a vehicle with the

engine off, there is no longer any

power assistance for braking or

steering.
In the following cases, you must

always call on a professional re-

covery service:
- vehicle broken down on a mo-

torway or fast road,

- when it is not possible to put

the gearbox into neutral, un-

lock the steering, or release

the parking brake,

towing with only two wheels on

the ground,

- where there is no approved

towing bar available...

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

157

) On the rear bumper, unclip the cover

by pressing at the bottom.

  )   Screw the towing eye in fully.
  )   Install the towing bar.
  )   Switch on the hazard warning lamps

on the towed vehicle.

Towing another vehicle

* The bicycle carrier cannot be attached

to your vehicle's tailgate.

Towbar suitable only for the attachment

of a bicycle carrier * .

TOWING A TRAILER, A

CARAVAN, ETC.

Your vehicle is primarily designed for

transporting people and luggage, but it

may also be used for towing a trailer.

Towbar suitable for the attachment of a

trailer or caravan with additional lighting

and signalling.

We recommend the use of genu-

ine PEUGEOT towbars and their

harnesses that have been tested

and approved from the design

stage of your vehicle, and that the

fi tting of the towbar is entrusted to

a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed

workshop .
If the towbar is not fi tted by a

PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative

that it is fi tted in accordance with the

vehicle manufacturer's instructions.

. The rear parking sensors will be

deactivated automatically if a gen-

uine PEUGEOT towbar is used.
We recommend that you do not

drive up onto high kerbs (risk of

damaging your vehicle).

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

158

Driving advice

Distribution of loads
) 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. Above

1 000 metres, the maximum towed load

must be reduced by 10 % for every

1 000 metres of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for

details of the weights and towed loads

which apply to your vehicle.

Side wind
) Take into account the increased

sensitivity to side wind.

Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases

the temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its

cooling capacity is not dependent on

the engine speed.
) To lower the engine speed, reduce

your speed.

Driving with a trailer places greater de-

mands on the towing vehicle and the

driver must take particular care.

The maximum towed load on a long in-

cline depends on the gradient and the

ambient temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant

temperature.

Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking

distance.

Tyres
) Check the tyre pressures of the towing

vehicle and of the trailer, observing the

recommended pressures.

Lighting
) Check the electrical lighting and sig-

nalling on the trailer.

The rear parking sensors will be

deactivated automatically if a gen-

uine PEUGEOT towbar is used.

) If the warning lamp and the

STOP warning lamp come

on, stop the vehicle and

switch off the engine as

soon as possible.
