In the event of a breakdown

After reconnecting the

battery

After reconnecting the battery, turn on the
ignition and wait 1 minute before starting
the engine, in order to enable the electronic
systems to initialise.
If minor problems nevertheless persist
following this operation, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section, you
must reset certain systems yourself, such as:
-  The key with remote control.
-  The date and time.
-  The preset radio stations.

On the journey following the initial engine
start-up, the Stop & Start may not be
operational.
In this case, the system will only be
available again after a continuous
period of immobilisation of the vehicle,
a period which depends on the ambient
temperature and the state of charge of the
battery (up to about 8 hours).

177

In the event of a breakdown

Towing the vehicle

Procedure for having your vehicle towed.

Access to the tools

The towing eye is installed in the boot under
the floor.

To gain access to it:
F

Open the boot.

Lift the floor and remove it.

Remove the towing eye from the holder.

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 the vehicle is towed with its engine
off, there is no more braking and steering
assistance.

In the following cases, you must always call
on a professional recovery service :
- vehicle broken down on a motorway or

fast road,

- four-wheel drive vehicle,
- when it is not possible to put the gearbox

into neutral, unlock the steering, or
release the parking brake,

- towing with only two wheels on the

ground,

- where there is no approved towing arm

available...

178

In the event of a breakdown

Towing your vehicle

On the front bumper, unclip the cover by

pressing on its left side.

Screw the towing eye completely.

Install the towing bar.

With a manual transmission: move the
gear lever into neutral.
With an automatic or electronic gearbox,
place the gear selector into position

Failure to observe this instruction could
result in damage to certain components
(braking, transmission...) and the absence
of braking assistance the next time the
engine is started.

Unlock the steering by turning the ignition

key one notch and release the parking
brake.

Switch on the hazard warning lamp on both

vehicles.

Set off gently, drive slowly and for a short

distance.

Towing another vehicle

This towing is strictly prohibited (risk of
damaging your vehicle).

179

Technical data

Engines and

specifications

The engine specifications (displacement, max.
power, max. speed, energy, CO

emissions,

etc.) associated with your vehicle are
mentioned in the registration certificate, and in
the commercial documents.
These characteristics correspond to the values
type-approved on a test bed, under conditions
defined in European legislation (Directive
1999/99/EC).
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Weights and towed

loads

The weights and towed loads relating to your
vehicle are stated in the registration certificate,
and in the sales documentation.
These values are also shown on the
manufacturer's nameplate or label.
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The mass in working order is equal to the
weight when empty + driver (75 kg).
The GTW values and the towable loads listed
are valid for a maximum altitude of 1,000
additional metres.
The weight of the braked trailer can be
increased, within the GTW limit, if the GVW
of the towing vehicle is reduced by an equal
amount.
The recommended nose weight corresponds
to the weight permitted on the tow-bar
(dismantlable with or without a tool).

GVW: gross vehicle weight, the maximum

authorised vehicle weight.

GTW: Gross train weight

High ambient temperatures may result
in a reduction in the performance of the
vehicle to protect the engine. When the
ambient temperature is above 37°C, limit
the weight towed.

Towing with a towing vehicle which is only
slightly laden may negatively affect its
handling.
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not
exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) (comply with
the legislation in force in your country).

When the ambient temperature is high,
leaving the engine running for 1 to 2 minutes
after stopping the vehicle to allow it to cool is
recommended.

Technical data

Identification markings

The vehicle may be originally equipped
with tyres with higher load and speed
indices than those indicated on the label,
without affecting inflation pressure.

Various visible markings for the identification of your vehicle.

A Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)

under the bonnet.

This number is engraved on the bodywork

near the passenger compartment filter.

B Vehicle identification number on the

dashboard.

The number is recorded on a label, visible

through the windscreen.

C Tyre/paint label.

This label is affixed to the centre pillar on

the driver’s side.

It bears the following information:

- The tyre pressures, for unladen and

laden conditions.

- The tyre sizes.

- The spare tyre inflation pressure.

- The paint colour code.

Low tyre pressure introduces the risk of a
burst tyre.

Manufacturer's label.

The number is indicated on a self-
destroying label affixed to the lower part
of the right hand centre pillar.

Checking tyre pressures

The tyre pressures should be checked when
cold at least monthly.
The pressures given on the label are valid for
cold tyres. If you have driven for more than
10 minutes or more than 6 miles (10 kilometres)
at more than 30 mph (50 km/h), the tyres will be
warm. In this case 0.3 bar (30 kPa) should be
added to the pressures given on the label.

Never reduce the pressure of a warm tyre.

Low tyre pressures increase fuel
consumption.

RDS

RDS, if displayed, makes it possible

to continue listening to the same radio

station using the alternative frequencies

function. However, in certain conditions,

coverage of an RDS station may not be

assured throughout the entire country

as radio stations do not cover 100% of

the territory. This explains the loss of
