GENERAL RECOMMENdATIONS  
Observe the legislation in force in your country.  
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 towing arm; rope and straps are prohibited.  
The towing vehicle must move off gently.  
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

Driving with a trailer subjects the towing vehicle to more significant  
TOWING A TRAILER  
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a trailer with additional lighting  
and signalling.  
stress and its driver must be particularly careful.  
distribution of loads  
Versions that have asymmetrical twin exhaust tailpipes cannot be  
fitted with a towbar.  
F
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 towing load must be reduced by  
10 % 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 version.  
Your vehicle is primarily designed for transporting people and luggage,  
but it may also be used for towing a trailer.  
Side wind  
F
Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.  
We recommend use of the PEUGEOT genuine towbar with ball  
which can be removed without tools and its harness 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 trailer is fitted outside the PEUGEOT dealer network, it must  
be fitted in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.  
186  
Cooling  
The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a  
genuine PEUGEOT towbar is used.  
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.  
F
To lower the engine speed, reduce your speed.  
The maximum towing load on a long slope depends on the gradient and  
the ambient temperature.  
When not towing a trailer, remove the quickly-detachable tow ball  
before driving, so as to avoid masking the central rear lamp.  
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant temperature.  
F If the warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come  
on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as  
possible.  
Braking  
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.  
Tyres  
F
Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer,  
observing the recommended pressures.  
Lighting  
Check the electrical signalling on the trailer.

HEAdLAMPS ANd LAMPS  
The headlamps have polycarbonate lenses, finished with a protective  
lacquer.  
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE  
The general recommendations on cleaning and maintaining your vehicle  
are given in the servicing and warranty booklet.  
Do not clean them with a dry or abrasive cloth, nor with detergent or  
solvent products.  
PEUGEOT TECHNO TEP  
Use a sponge and soapy water.  
To clean this trim, do not use solvents or detergents with a dry cloth.  
The use of a high pressure jet wash for cleaning the headlamps,  
lamps and their surrounds may damage the lacquer and seals.  
First remove dust, then use a soft cloth and soapy water. Dry with  
another soft cloth.  
Observe the recommendations on pressure and distance for jet  
washing.  
First clean persistent stains with a sponge and warm soapy water.  
ALUMINIUM ARCHES  
To clean these arches, do not use a dry cloth with an abrasive product.  
Use a sponge and soapy water.  
CUSTOMISING STICKERS  
These customising parts are self-adhesive stickers, treated to give good  
resistance to ageing and tearing.  
They are intended for customising the body.  
Available also as accessories, we recommend that you have them fitted  
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.  
When washing your vehicle, keep the end of a high-pressure  
lance at least 30 centimetres from the stickers.  
188  
MATT PAINT  
From the range of cleaning and maintenance products in the  
"TECHNATURE" range recommended and approved by PEUGEOT,  
use only the insect remover and car shampoo, which are the only  
products to be used on the bodywork.  
If you vehicle is finished with a clear matt lacquer, please observe the  
following recommendations to avoid damaging the paintwork by the use  
of an inappropriate cleaning procedures.  
These recommendations are also valid for alloy road wheels finished  
with clear matt lacquer.  
The insect remover can also be used to remove minor marks  
(for example: finger marks...).  
Never clean the vehicle without water.  
Always have paint repairs done by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified  
workshop.  
Never wash your vehicle in an automatic roller brush car wash.  
Never polish the vehicle body, nor the alloy wheels. Doing this will  
make the paintwork shiny.  
Do not use paint cleaners, abrasive products or paint polishing or  
preserving products (such as wax, for example) on the paintwork.  
These products are only suitable for bright finishes. Application of  
these products on vehicles with a matt finish will seriously damage  
the paint surface of the vehicle, giving rise to irreversible shiny or  
stained areas.  
Never use a high pressure jet wash with a lance fitted with a  
brush, this may scratch the paintwork.  
Never select a wash programme that finishes with a hot wax  
cycle.  
We recommend the use of a high pressure jet wash, or at least a  
water hose with a high output.  
We recommend that the vehicle be rinsed using de-ionised water.  
Use only a microfibre cloth to dry the vehicle. It must be clean and  
used without heavy pressure.  
Lightly wipe off any fuel stains present on the bodywork using a  
soft cloth, then leave to dry.
