PEUGEOT SERVICING
Your vehicle benefits from extended service intervals.
• For petrol engines: every 20,000 miles (30 000 km) or every two years.
• For direct injection diesel engines: every 12,000 miles (20 000 km) or every two years.
The extension of the service intervals means that the engine oil level must be checked regularly: topping up of the
oil between oil changes is normal.
It is for this reason that the PEUGEOT network invites you to an intermediate visit between regular services.
The date of this service is not shown by the service indicator. It is to be carried out at least every 10,000 miles
(15 000 km) for petrol engines and every 6,000 miles (10 000 km) for direct injection diesel engines.
A PEUGEOT dealer will carry out a quick check, and will top up the levels if necessary (oil, coolant, screenwash up to
2 litres).
If the oil level is too low there is a risk of serious damage to the engine: check the engine oil level at least every
2,000 miles (3 000 km) or 3,000 miles (5 000 km), depending on the conditions of use.
The extended service intervals have been made possible by technical modifications to the vehicles and lubricants:
THUS IT IS ESSENTIALTO ONLY USE ENGINE LUBRICANTS WHICH ARE APPROVED AND RECOMMENDED BY THE
MANUFACTURER.

ing on the temperatures at which the
oils are to be used.
It is also possible to use synthetic
oils of 'superior quality'.
In the absence of semi-synthetic or
synthetic oils, oils of API SH/SJ qual-
ity (for petrol engines), or CD/CF
quality (for diesel engines) may be
used by following the 'Arduous Con-
ditions' servicing schedule, which
specifies shorter service intervals.
Do not hesitate to ask for advice
from a PEUGEOT dealer to maintain
driving pleasure and to minimise the
maintenance cost of your vehicle.

WARNING LIGHTS AND INDICATORS
A permanently lit warning light, or flashing with the engine running, is an
indication of a malfunction in the relevant unit. Some warning lights may
be linked to buzzers and a message on the multifunction display. Do not
ignore this warning: contact a PEUGEOT dealer as quickly as possible.
If the Central (STOP) warning light comes on when you are driving, stop
your vehicle immediately where it is safe to do so.
Central (STOP) warning light
Linked to the "engine oil pressure", "the low brake fluid level", "the
coolant temperature gauge" and "electronic brake force distribution
system fault" warning lights.
It comes on each time the ignition is switched on.
Stop immediately if it flashes with the engine running.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Engine oil pressure warning light
Linked to the central (STOP) warning light.
Stop immediately if it comes on with the engine running.
It indicates either:
– insufficient oil pressure,
– lack of oil in the lubrication circuit. Top up the oil level.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.
Low coolant level
warning light
Stop immediately.
Allow the engine to cool before top-
ping up.
The cooling system is pressurised.
In the event of a breakdown and to
prevent the risk of scalding, turn the
cap to the first notch to allow the
pressure to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped,
remove the cap and top up the level.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Fuel filler cap warning
light
This comes on if the fuel
cap is not correctly screwed
on or is missing.

Handbrake, low brake fluid level and electronic brake
force distribution warning light
This comes on each time the ignition is switched on.
It indicates either:
– that the handbrake is on or has not been released correctly,
and when coupled with the central (STOP) warning light:
– an excessive drop in the brake fluid level (if the light remains on even with the
handbrake released),
– lit at the same time as the ABS warning light, it indicates a malfunction of the
electronic brake force distribution system.
Stop immediately.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) warning light
This comes on for 3 seconds each time the ignition is switched on.
If it comes on at over 8 m.p.h. (12 km/h), it indicates a malfunction of the
ABS.
However, the vehicle retains conventional servo-assisted braking.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Clogging of the
particulate emission
filter warning light
(diesel engine)
Display of this warning light is
accompanied by an audible signal.
The flashing of this light while the
engine is running is caused either by
the particulate emission filter being
overloaded or by the engine running
too long at idle (white smoke from
the exhaust). There is a risk of the fil-
ter clogging if the same conditions of
operation are maintained.
As soon as possible, drive for at
least three minutes at a speed
exceeding 37 m.p.h. (60 km/h), if dri-
ving conditions allow this.
If the light comes on, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer as soon as
possible.

Engine diagnostics warning light*
This comes on each time the ignition is switched on.
If it is lit continuously with the engine runnning, this indicates a fault in
the emission control system.
If it flashes with the engine running, this indicates a malfunction in the injection
or ignition system. There is a risk of damage to the catalytic converter (petrol
engine only).
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer as soon as possible.

RADIO
Notes on radio reception
Car radio receivers are subject to phenomena which do not affect domestic radio sets. Both MW/LW and FM reception are
subject to various forms of interference. This is no reflection on the quality of the equipment, but is due to the nature of the
signals and the way in which they are transmitted.
On MW/LW, interference may be noticed when passing under high voltage power lines or bridges, or in tunnels.
On FM, interference may be the result of increasing distance from the transmitter, deflection of the signals by obstacles
(mountains, hills, buildings etc), or of being in an area which is not covered by a transmitter.
Selecting radio mode
Press the "SRC" button until the radio is selected.
Selecting a waveband
Briefly press the "BAND/AST" button to select the FM1, FM2, FMast and AM wavebands.

If the TA traffic programme is selected, only stations broadcasting this type of programme are selected.
Searching for a station occurs first in "LO" sensitivity (selection of the most powerful transmitters) during scanning of the
waveband, then in "DX" sensitivity (selection of the weakest and most distant transmitters).

RADIO
Notes on radio reception
Your radio is subject to phenomena which do not affect domestic radio sets. Both MW/LW and FM reception are subject to
various forms of interference. This is no reflection on the quality of the equipment, but is due to the nature of the signals and
the way in which they are transmitted.
On MW/LW, interference may be noticed when passing under high voltage power lines or bridges, or in tunnels.
On FM, interference may be the result of increasing distance from the transmitter, deflection of the signals by obstacles
(mountains, hills, buildings etc), or of being in an area which is not covered by a transmitter.

Rules for transporting children on
the front passenger seat**:
Children under the age of 10 must
not travel in the forwards facing
position, unless the rear seats are
already occupied by other children
or the rear seats cannot be used
(absent or folded). In this case,
adjust the front passenger seat to
the most rearward position and arm
the passenger air bag.
The rearwards facing position is per-
mitted from birth to 18 kg. In this
position, it is essential to disarm the
passenger air bag.
GENERAL POINTS RELATING TO CHILD SEATS
Although one of PEUGEOT's main criteria when designing your vehicle, the safe-
ty of your children also depends on you.
For maximum safety, please follow these precautions:
– Since 1992, all children under the age of 10 must travel in approved child
seats* suited to their weight, on seats fitted with a seat belt.
In order to recognise a child seat which conforms to current legislation, check
that it bears an orange label indicating the weight range for its use and
its approval number.
– A child weighing less than 9 kg must travel in the rearwards facing posi-
tion both in the front and in the rear.
– The safest seats in your vehicle for the transportation of children are the
rear seats.
– If a child is travelling on a booster seat, check that the lap section of the seat belt
passes over the child's thighs correctly. The chest section of the seat belt must be
positioned on the child's shoulder without touching the neck. PEUGEOT recom-
mends that you use a booster seat with a back, fitted with a seat belt guide.
– Remember to fasten the seat belt or the child seat harness keeping the slack
in relation to the child's body to a minimum, even for short journeys.
* According to current legislation in the country.
** Consult the relevant administration in your country for information regarding
the rules for transporting children on the front passenger seat.

"ISOFIX" MOUNTINGS
The one third side of the rear seat of
your vehicle is fitted with ISOFIX
mountings. These are 2 rings locat-
ed between the seat back and seat
cushion of your vehicle.
The ISOFIX child seats are fitted
with 2 locks which fit onto these
rings.
The ISOFIX child seat approved for
PEUGEOT vehicles and sold by the
PEUGEOT network is the ISOFIX
KIDDY* child seat seat. It can be
installed in the rearwards facing
position from birth to 13 kg and in
the forwards facing position from 9
to 18 kg.
In the front, in the rearwards facing
position, the front passenger seat
must be moved as far forwards as
possible so that the shell of the child
seat is in contact with, or as close as
possible to, the fascia.
In the rear, in the forwards facing
position, the front passenger seat
must be in the intermediate longitu-
dinal position, with the seat back
upright.
The ISOFIX KIDDY child seat may
also be used where there are no
Isofix mountings. In this case it is
compulsory to attach it to the vehi-
cle's seat using the three-point seat
belt for the rearwards facing and for-
wards facing positions.
If the ISOFIX KIDDY seat is fitted
in the rearwards facing position
on the front passenger seat, it is
essential to disarm the passenger
air bag.
Follow the instructions for fitting
the child seat indicated in the seat
manufacturer's installation instruc-
tions.
Refer to the "Summary table for the
installation of child seats".
* You can only secure ISOFIX child
seats, approved by PEUGEOT and
sold by its network, on your vehi-
cle's ISOFIX mountings.

Pre-tensioning and force-limiting
front seat belts
Safety in the event of a frontal impact
has been improved by the introduc-
tion of pre-tensioning and force-limit-
ing front seat belts. Depending on
the seriousness of the impact, the
pre-tensioning system instantly tight-
ens the seat belt firmly against the
body of the occupant.
The pre-tensioning seat belts are
active when the ignition is on.
The force-limiting device reduces the
pressure of the seat belt against the
occupant's body in the event of an
accident.
Rear seat belts
The three rear seats are all fitted with
three-point inertia reel belts.
YOUR 406 IN DETAIL
123
To be effective, a seat
belt must be tightened as
close to the body as pos-
sible.
Depending on the nature and the
seriousness of the impact, the
pre-tensioners may be triggered
before and independently of the
air bags.
In all cases, the air bag warning
light comes on.
Following a collision, have the
system checked by a PEUGEOT
dealer.
The system has been designed to
be fully operational for ten years.
Have it replaced after this period.

If the keys are lost, your PEUGEOT dealer can rapidly supply you with new keys.
The high frequency remote control is a sensitive system; do not operate it while it is in your pocket as there is a possi-
bility that it may unlock your vehicle, without you being aware of it.
The remote control does not operate when the key is in the ignition, even when the ignition is switched off, except for
reprogramming. However, do not operate the deadlocking function if there is anyone inside the vehicle.
Driving with the doors locked may make access to the passenger compartment by the emergency services more diffi-
cult in an emergency.
As a safety precaution (with children on board), remove the ignition key when you leave the vehicle, even for a short
time.
Do not repeatedly press the button of your remote control out of range of your vehicle.
You run the risk of stopping it from working and the remote control would have to be reprogrammed.
When purchasing a second-hand vehicle:
– ensure that you are given the confidential card;
– have the key codes memorised by a PEUGEOT dealer, to ensure that the keys in your possession are the only ones
which can start the vehicle.
Do not make any modifications to the electronic engine immobiliser system.

Note: this figure may rise if there is a
change in driving style or road sur-
face, causing a significant drop in
current fuel consumption.
If there are less than 3 litres of fuel in
the tank, only three segments will be
displayed.
Average consumption
This is the ratio between the amount
of fuel consumed and the distance
travelled since the computer was last
reset to zero.
Current fuel consumption
This gives the fuel consumption
recorded during the last two sec-
onds. This function is only displayed
when the vehicle is travelling at more
than 12 m.p.h. (20 km/h).
Average speed
This is obtained by dividing the dis-
tance travelled by the period of time
the vehicle has been in use (with the
ignition on), since the computer was
last reset to zero.
Distance travelled
This shows the distance travelled
since the computer was last reset to

The gearbox always selects the most
suitable gear on the basis of the fol-
lowing parameters:
– driving style,
– road characteristics,
– the vehicle's load.
The gearbox operates in auto-
adaptive mode without any action
on your part.
Moving off
With the engine running, to move off
with the selector lever in position P:
☞ It is essential to press the brake
pedal to exit position P (shift
lock),
☞ Select the required function (R, D,
3, 2 or 1) then gradually release
the pressure on the brake pedal;
the vehicle will move off imme-
diately.
You can also move off with the se-
lector lever in position N:
☞ Release the handbrake with your
foot on the brake,
☞ Select the required function (R, D,
3, 2 or 1) then gradually release
the pressure on the brake pedal;
the vehicle will move off imme-
diately.
DRIVING Y0UR 406

When the engine is idling,
with the brakes not ap-
plied, if function R, D, 3, 2
or 1 is selected, the ve-
hicle will move even if you are not
accelerating.
For this reason, do not leave
children unsupervised inside
the vehicle, when the engine is
running.
When maintenance operations
need to be carried out with the
engine running, apply the hand-
brake and select function P.
Never select function N when the
vehicle is moving.
Never select functions P or R
unless the vehicle is stationary.
Do not change from one position
to another to improve braking effi-
ciency on a slippery surface.
With the selector lever in position
P, it will be impossible to change
to another position if your battery
is flat.
Remarks:
To obtain maximum acceleration
without touching the gear lever,
press the accelerator pedal down as
far as it will go (kickdown). The gear-
box will change down automatically
or stay in the gear selected, up to
maximum engine speed.
When braking, the gearbox changes
down automatically so as to provide
efficient engine braking.
If you take your foot off the accele-
rator suddenly, the gearbox will not
change up, so as to improve safety.

The ESP system offers
increased safety during
normal driving, but should
not incite the driver to take
risks or to drive at high speed.
The operation of the system is
assured to the extent to which the
recommendations of the manufac-
turer regarding the wheels (tyres
and wheel rims), the braking com-
ponents, the electronic compo-
nents and the assembly and repair
procedures within the PEUGEOT
network are respected.
After an accident or impact, have
the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer.

TRACTION CONTROL (ASR) AND
DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL
CONTROL (ESP)
These systems are linked and com-
plement the ABS.
The ASR system optimises drive to
prevent the wheels skidding, by
acting on the brakes of the drive
wheels and on the engine. It also
allows the directional stability of
the vehicle to be improved on
acceleration.
If there is a variation between the tra-
jectory followed by the vehicle and
that required by the driver, the ESP
system automatically acts on the
engine and the brake of one or more
wheels, in order to put the vehicle
back on course.
Operation of the ASR and ESP
systems
When one of these two sys-
tems is operating, this light
flashes.
Handbrake
Applying
When parking, pull the handbrake to
immobilise your vehicle.
Warning: when parking on a slope,
direct your wheels towards the pave-
ment and apply the handbrake.
Releasing
Pull the handle and press the button
to release the handbrake.
Disarming the ESP/ASR systems
In certain conditions (vehicle stuck in
mud or snow, or on loose ground...),
it could prove useful to disarm the
ASR system to make the wheels
spin and regain grip.
☞ Press the switch "ESP OFF", si-
tuated to the left of the steering
wheel.
The switch lights up and the indicator
lights come on, accompanied by the
message ''ASR/ESP de-activated''
on the multi-function display: the
ESP and ASR systems no longer
affect the operation of the engine or
the brakes.
They engage again:
☞ automatically when the ignition is
switched off,
☞ manually by pressing the switch
again.

When a system malfunction
occurs, the switch light
flashes and the indicator
light comes on.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer to

CRUISE CONTROL
Cruise control enables the vehicle to
maintain a steady speed pro-
grammed by the driver, regardless of
the road characteristics and without
the driver having to touch the acce-
lerator or brake pedals.
In order for it to be memorised, the
vehicle speed must be greater than
25 mph (40 km/h) or 37 mph (60 km/h),
depending on the engine, and fourth
gear at least must be engaged (second
gear for the automatic gearbox).
Operation
☞ Place switch 1 in the ON position.
A speed can be memorised.
☞ Place switch 1 in the OFF position
to cancel.
Memorising a speed
As soon as you reach the chosen
speed, press button 2 or 3. This
memorises the speed, which will be
maintained automatically.
Note: It is possible to accelerate and
drive momentarily at a speed greater
than the memorised speed. When the
accelerator pedal is released, the vehicle
will return to the memorised speed.
Cancelling the memorised
speed
If you wish to cancel the memorised
speed:
☞ press button 4 or the brake or
clutch pedal.
Recalling the memorised
speed
After cancellation, press button 4.
Your vehicle will return to the last
memorised speed.
Changing a memorised
speed
To memorise a speed higher than
the previous one:
☞ press button 3;
☞ release it when you have reached
the required speed.
To memorise a speed lower than the
previous one:
☞ press button 2;
☞ release it when you have reached

THE ABS
ANTI-LOCK
BRAKING SYSTEM
When used with approved tyres in
good condition, the ABS increases
the stability and manoeuvrability of
your vehicle, particularly on poor or
slippery road surfaces.
The anti-lock braking system comes
into operation automatically when
there is a risk of wheel lock.
EMERGENCY BRAKING
ASSISTANCE SYSTEM
In an emergency, this system
enables the optimum braking pres-
sure to be reached more quickly,
thus reducing the stopping distance.
It is triggered by the speed at which
the brake pedal is activated. The
effect of this is a reduction in the
resistance of the pedal and an
increase in braking efficiency.
The normal operation of the ABS
may make itself felt by slight
vibrations of the brake pedal.
In emergency braking, press
very firmly without releasing
the pressure.

FRONT AIR BAGS
These are folded in the centre of the
steering wheel for the driver and in
the fascia for the front passenger.
They are deployed simultaneously,
except in cases where the air bag is
disarmed.
Front air bag malfunction
If this warning light comes
on, accompanied by a buz-
zer and the message "Air
bag fault" on the multi-
function display, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer to have the sys-
tem checked.
AIR BAGS
The air bags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
in the event of serious collisions;
they work in conjunction with the
force limiting seat belts.
In the event of a serious collision, the
electronic detectors record and
analyse any abrupt deceleration of
the vehicle: if the triggering threshold
is reached, the air bags inflate
instantly and protect the occupants
of the vehicle.
Immediately after the impact, the air
bags deflate rapidly, so that they do
not hinder the visibility of the occu-
pants nor their possible exit from the
vehicle.
The air bags will not be deployed in
collisions which are not serious, for
which the seat belt is sufficient to
provide maximum protection. The
seriousness of the collision depends
on the nature of the obstacle and the
speed of the vehicle at the moment
of impact.
Air bags only operate when the
ignition is switched on.
Note: the gas escaping from the air
bags can be a minor irritant.

CHECKING THE LEVELS
Oil level
Check the level regularly and top up
between changes. Maximum con-
sumption is 0.5 litres per 600 miles
(1 000 km).
The oil level should be checked with
the vehicle level and the engine cold
using the oil gauge or the dipstick.
Dipstick
There are two marks on
the dipstick:
A = maximum
Never fill past this mark.
B = minimum
To maintain the reliability
of the engines and of the
emission control systems,
the use of additives in the
engine oil is prohibited.
Oil change
According to the information given in
"PEUGEOT SERVICING".
Note: avoid any prolonged contact of
used oil with the skin.
Viscosity selection
In all cases, the oil selected must
meet the manufacturer's require-
ments.
MAINTENANCE OF YOUR 406

Brakes and clutch level:
– The level should always be
between the DANGER and MAX
marks on the reservoir.
– If the level drops substantially, con-
tact a PEUGEOT dealer imme-
diately.
Fluid change:
– must be carried out according to
the manufacturer's servicing
schedule.
– use fluids recommended by the
manufacturer, which fulfil DOT4
standards.
Note: the brake fluid is noxious and
very corrosive. Avoid any contact
with the skin.
Coolant level
Use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer.
When the engine is warm, the tem-
perature of the coolant is controlled
by the engine fan. Because this fan
can operate with the ignition off and
because the cooling system is pres-
surised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
To avoid any risk of burns, slacken
the cap to the first notch to release
the pressure. When the pressure has
dropped, remove the cap and top up
the level.
Used products
Do not dispose of used oil, brake
fluid or coolant down drains or on the
ground.
Power steering fluid level
Open the reservoir with the engine
cold. The level should always be
above the MINI mark, close to the
MAXI mark.

Anti-theft bolts*
If your wheels are fitted with an anti-
theft bolt (one per wheel), the
chrome trim and then the plastic
cover must be removed using tool 7,
before unscrewing the bolt using one
of the two anti-theft sockets (which
were given to you on delivery of your
vehicle along with the duplicate keys
and the confidential card) and the
wheel brace 1.
Note: make a careful note of the code
number engraved on the head of the
anti-theft socket. This will enable you
to obtain duplicate anti-theft sockets
from a PEUGEOT dealer.
* According to model and destination.
Special features of alloy
wheels
Bolt covers
Alloy wheel bolts are covered by
chrome trims.
Use tool 7 to remove the trims before
slackening the bolts.
Fitting the spare wheel
If your vehicle is fitted with a steel
spare wheel, when fitting it, it is
normal to notice when tightening the
bolts that the washers do not come
into contact with the rim. The spare
wheel is secured by the cone-shape
of each bolt.
Fitting snow tyres
If you fit snow tyres mounted on steel
wheels to your vehicle, it is essential
to use special bolts available from
your PEUGEOT dealer.

with the other press the injection
nozzle on the can firmly onto the
valve, holding it straight,
– maintain the pressure firmly for
one minute,
– carry out the same operation with
the second can, then drive imme-
diately, at a moderate speed, to
the nearest garage.
The cans enable you to carry out
a temporary repair.

BATTERY
To charge the battery using a battery charger:
– Disconnect the battery,
– Follow the instructions for use given by the battery charger manufacturer,
– Reconnect starting with the negative (–) terminal,
– Check that the terminals and connectors are clean. If they are covered with sul-
phate (white or greenish deposit), disconnect them and clean them.
To start the vehicle from another battery:
– Connect the red cable to the positive (+) terminals of the two batteries,
– Connect one end of the green or black cable to the negative (–) terminal of the
slave battery,
– Connect the other end of the green or black cable to an earth point on the bro-
ken down vehicle, as far as possible from the battery,
Operate the starter, let the engine run.
Wait for the engine to return to idle, then disconnect the cables.
– Never disconnect a terminal when the engine is running.
– Never charge a battery without first disconnecting the terminals.
– Close the sunroof before disconnecting the battery. If it does not
operate normally following re-connection of the battery, you must
re-initialise it by turning the control to the maximum tilt position and pressing
it for a few seconds.
– After every reconnection of the battery, switch on the ignition and wait
1 minute before starting to allow the electronic systems to be initialised. If
slight difficulties are experienced after this, please contact a PEUGEOT deal-
er.
It is advisable to disconnect the battery if the vehicle
is not to be used for a period of more than one month.
Economy mode
With the engine switched off and the
ignition key in the "running" or
"accessories" position for about half
an hour, certain electrical equipment
(displays, instrument panel, warning
lights, courtesy lights, electric win-
dows, wipers etc.) will switch off
automatically to avoid draining the
battery.
Once the electrical equipment goes
into economy mode, it is necessary
to start the engine to enable the
equipment to work again.

TOWING YOUR VEHICLE
Without lifting (4 wheels on the road)
You should always use a tow bar.
The towing eye is inside the spare wheel.
From the front:
Lift the cover using the flat part of the towing eye.
Screw in the towing eye until it locks.
From the rear:
Unclip the cover by passing your hand behind the bumper and pushing.
Screw in the towing eye until it locks.
Lifting (2 wheels on the road only)
It is preferable to raise the vehicle by the wheels.
Never use the radiator crossmember.
17-02-2003
TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT ETC.
Only use original PEUGEOT tow
bars that have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
your vehicle.
The tow bar must be fitted by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Your vehicle is basically designed for
transporting people and luggage but
it may also be used for towing a
trailer.
Driving with a trailer subjects the
towing vehicle to more significant
stress and its driver must be particu-
larly careful.
Air density decreases with altitude,
thus reducing engine performance.
The maximum towing load must
be reduced by 10 % for every
1 000 metres of altitude.
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 approach-
es the maximum permitted without
exceeding it.
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.
On the contrary, use a high gear to
lower the engine speed, and reduce
your speed.
The maximum towing speed on a
long slope depends on the gradient
and the outside temperature.
For vehicles fitted with a direct injec-
tion petrol engine, after towing or dri-
ving at high speed for a long period
of time, the fan may operate for
approximately 6 minutes.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant temperature.
If the warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
Tyres: Check the tyre pressures of
the towing vehicle and the trailer,
observing the recommended pres-
sures.
Brakes: Towing increases the braking
distance.
Lights: Check the electrical sig-
nalling on the trailer.
Side wind: Take into acount the
increased sensitivity to side wind.

FITTING ROOF BARS
When fitting transverse roof bars to
the estate, ensure that they are posi-
tioned correctly.
The correct positions are shown by
marks on each of the longitudinal
bars.
Use accessories approved by Auto-
mobiles PEUGEOT and follow the
manufacturer's fitting instructions.
Removing the mat
When removing the mat on the dri-
ver's side, move the seat as far back
as possible and remove the fixings.
When refitting the mat, position it
and replace the fixings by turning
them a quarter of a turn.
