TOWING
A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, etc.
Towbar suited to the attachment of a trailer or caravan with additional signal-ling and lighting.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for transporting people and luggage, but it may also be used for towing a trailer.
We recommend the use of original PEUGEOT towbars 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.
Driving with a trailer subjects the towing vehicle to more significant stress and its driver must be particularly careful.
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 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.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant temperature.
Side wind
 Take into account the increased sen-sitivity 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.
The maximum towing load on a long slope depends on the gradient and the outside temperature.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
Tyres
 Check the tyre pressures of the tow-ing vehicle and of the trailer, observ-ing the recommended pressures.
Lights
 Check the electrical signalling on the trailer.
 If the warning light and the STOP warning light come on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as possible.
