PEUGEOT selects and offers quite
specific products.
CHECKS

tery checked by a PEUGEOT dealer.

of driving, in particular for vehicles
which are used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
check the thickness of the pads,
even between services.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too
great or there is a reduction in the
performance of the system, the
handbrake should be adjusted, even
between services.
Have the system checked by a
PEUGEOT dealer. Manual gearbox

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 fit
ted 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.
Above 1000 metres, the maximum
towing load must be reduced by 10%
and so on for every 1000 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 approaches 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 load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and
the outside temperature.
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 tow
ing vehicle and of the trailer, observ
ing the recommended pressures.
Braking
Towing increases the braking distance.
Lights
Check the electrical signalling on the
trailer.
Side wind
Take into acount the increased sen
sitivity to side wind.
