List of operations  
Removing a wheel  
) If your vehicle is equipped with secu-  
rity wheel bolts (equipment available  
as an accessory) fit the security sock-  
et 5 on the wheelbrace 1 to slacken  
the security bolt.  
) Slacken the other bolts using the  
wheelbrace 1 only.

of the two front A or rear B locations  
provided on the underbody, which-  
ever is closest to the wheel to be  
changed.  
) Extend the jack 2 until its base plate  
is in contact with the ground. Ensure  
that the centreline of the jack base  
plate is directly below the location A  
or B used.  
Parking the vehicle

does not block traffic: if possible,  
park the vehicle on level, stable  
and non-slippery ground.

Apply the parking brake, switch  
off the ignition and engage first  
gear to lock the wheels.  
If necessary, place a chock under  
the wheel diagonally opposite the  
wheel to be changed.

CHANGING A FUSE  
Changing a fuse  
Your vehicle’s electrical sys-  
tem is designed to operate with  
standard or optional equipment.  
Before installing other electrical  
equipment or accessories in your

the failure must be identified and recti-  
fied.  
) Identify the failed fuse by checking  
the condition of its filament.  
PEUGEOT will not accept re-  
sponsibility for the cost incurred in  
repairing your vehicle or for rec-  
tifying the malfunctions resulting  
from the installation of accesso-  
ries not supplied and not recom-  
mended by PEUGEOT and not

structions, in particular when the  
consumption of all of the addition-  
al equipment connected exceeds  
10 milliamperes.

Access to the battery  
Looking for an earth point at  
the right-hand engine mounting  
) Raise the front of the cover 1 to re-  
lease the three clips 2.  
) Then pull the cover 1 towards you  
to release the clip 3 and remove the  
cover.  
) Connect one end of the green or black  
cable to the negative terminal (-) of the  
slave battery B.  
) Connect the other end of the green  
or black cable to an earth point C on  
the broken down vehicle, as far as  
possible from the battery (for exam-  
ple, right-hand engine mounting).  
The battery A is located under the bon-  
net on the left.  
To gain access to it:  
) open the bonnet using the interior  
release lever, then the exterior safe-  
ty catch,  
9
) secure the bonnet stay.  
) Start the engine of the assisting ve-  
hicle.  
) Operate the starter, let the engine  
run.  
) Wait until the engine returns to idle  
and disconnect the cables.  
Check the electrolyte level reg-  
ularly. If necessary, top up the  
level with distilled water.  
) Connect the red cable to the posi-  
tive terminal (+) of the flat battery A,  
then to the positive terminal (+) of  
the slave battery B.  
 
PRACTICAL INFORMATION  
Before disconnecting the battery  
Wait 2 minutes after switching off the igni-  
tion before disconnecting the battery.  
Close the windows, the sunroof, the  
doors and the tailgate before discon-  
necting the battery.  
Charging the battery using a  
battery charger  
When charging the battery, it is  
normal to observe an increase  
in temperature and bubbling of  
the electrolyte.  
) Disconnect the battery from the ve-  
hicle.  
) Remove the battery and place it in a  
ventilated area.  
) Remove the top-up caps and top up  
the level with distilled water if nec-  
essary.  
) Connect the battery to the charger  
observing the instructions for use  
provided by the manufacturer and  
start charging.  
) Disconnect the battery from the  
charger and let it to cool.  
) If necessary, top up the level with  
distilled water.  
) Clean the top of the battery care-  
fully.  
) Put the top-up caps back in place.  
The batteries contain harmful  
substances such as sulphuric  
acid and lead. They must be  
disposed of in accordance with  
regulations and must not, in any  
circumstances, be discarded  
with household waste.  
Take used remote control bat-  
teries and vehicle batteries to a  
special collection point.  
Following reconnection of the  
battery  
Following reconnection of the battery,  
switch on the ignition and wait 1 minute  
before starting to permit initialisation of  
the electronic systems. However, if slight  
difficulties are encountered following this  
operation, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or  
a qualified workshop.  
It is advisable to disconnect the  
battery if the vehicle is to be left un-  
used for more than one month.  
) Check that the terminals and con-  
nectors are clean. If they are covered  
with sulphate (whitish or greenish de-  
posit), remove them and clean them.  
) Reconnect the battery starting with  
the positive terminal (+).  
Referring to the corresponding section,  
you must yourself reinitialise:  
-
-
-
the one-touch electric windows,  
the sunroof,  
the satellite navigation system.  
Do not disconnect the terminals  
while the engine is running.  
Do not charge the batteries with-  
out disconnecting the terminals  
first.

Avoid prolonged contact of the  
electrolyte with the skin.  
Most of these fluids are harmful  
to health and very corrosive.

When being towed with the en-

PRACTICAL INFORMATION  
The maximum towing load on a long  
slope depends on the gradient and the  
outside temperature.

) If this message is dis-  
played, stop your ve-  
hicle as soon as it is  
safe to do so.  
Air density decreases with altitude, thus  
reducing engine performance. Above  
1 000 metres, the maximum towing  
load must be reduced by 10 % of the  
GTW and so on for every 1 000 metres  
of altitude.  
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for  
details of the weights and towing loads  
which apply to your vehicle.  
If the message flashes slowly, wait for  
the engine to cool before topping up the  
level, if necessary.  
If the message flashes rapidly, contact  
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified work-  
shop without delay.

We recommend the use of gen-

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 PEUGEOT dealer  
or a qualified workshop.  
If the towbar is not fitted by a

ing the recommended pressures.  
As the fan is electrically controlled, its  
cooling capacity is not dependent on  
the engine speed.  
) To lower the engine speed, reduce  
your speed.  
Lighting  
) Check the lighting and signalling on  
the trailer.  
Driving with a trailer subjects the  
towing vehicle to more signifi-  
cant stress and its driver must  
be particularly careful.  
Opening of the lower tailgate is  
prohibited if a towbar is being  
used.
