  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 towed load must be reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of altitude.  
  Side  wind 
   Take into account the increased sensitivity 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 towed load on a long incline depends on the gradient and the ambient temperature.  In all cases, keep a check on the coolant temperature. 
   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.  To avoid overheating of the brakes on a long mountain type of descent, the use of engine braking is recommended.  
  Ty r e s  
   Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the recommended  pressures.   
  Lighting 
   Check the electrical lighting and signalling on  the  trailer.   
  The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a genuine PEUGEOT towbar is used.   
  Refer to the "Technical data" section for details of the weights and towed loads which apply to your vehicle.

Technical data
308_EN_CHAP09_CARACTERISTIQUES TECHNIQUES_ED02-2013
 Weights and towed loads  
  The weights are given in the registration certificate for your vehicle and on the manufacturer's VIN plate.  The information can also be obtained from PEUGEOT dealers and is included in the descriptive table of technical characteristics for the vehicle in sales brochures.  The maximum type-approved trailer weight 
varies according to market zone.  In each country, you must comply with local legislation on towed loads.  
  For information on your vehicle's towing capabilities and its gross train weight, contact a PEUGEOT dealer.   
  Load  transfer 
  If the towing vehicle has not reached the GV W, it is possible to transfer this weight to the trailer.  The gross train weight and maximum trailer weight are valid up to an altitude of 1 000 metres; the maximum trailer weight specified must be reduced by 10 % for every additional 1 000 metres of altitude.  In all cases, do not exceed the weight of the trailer and the GTW, indicated on your registration certificate.  Observe the towing capacities of your vehicle.  
  The weight of a braked trailer with load transfer can be increased on condition that the equivalent weight is removed from the vehicle and the GTW is not exceeded.  High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the per formance of the vehicle to protect the engine. If the ambient temperature is above 37 °C, limit the towed load to 700 kg, without any transfer of load.  The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation 
in force in your country).   
The recommended nose weight (weight on the 
towbar ball) is  75   kg.  
                 Engines  
  The values (engine capacity, net maximum power, power to weight ratio, engine speed, CO2 emissions, ...) are given in your vehicle's registration document.  They can also be obtained from PEUGEOT dealers and are included in the descriptive table of technical characteristics for the vehicle in sales brochures.  
  For more information, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

                        Identifi cation markings  Various visible markings for the identification of your vehicle.  
A.    Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) under the bonnet.       This number is engraved on the chassis near the right hand front wheel arch. 
  The tyre pressures must be checked when the tyres are cold, at least once a  month.  
  If the tyre pressures are too low, this 
increases  fuel  consumption.   
B.    Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the windscreen lower cross member.       This number is indicated on a self-adhesive label which is visible through the windscreen. 
C.    Manufacturer's label.       This self-destroying label affixed to the centre pillar, right or left hand side, contains the following information.    -   the manufacturer's name,   -   the European whole vehicle type approval number,   -   the vehicle identification number (VIN),   -   the maximum authorised weight (gross vehicle weight),   -   the maximum authorised weight with trailer (gross train weight),   -   the maximum front axle weight,   -   the  maximum  rear  axle  weight.  
D.    Tyre/paint label.       This label, affixed to the centre pillar, on the driver's side, contains the following information.    -   the tyre inflation pressures with and without load,   -   the tyre sizes (including the tyre load index and speed rating),   -   the inflation pressure for the spare wheel,   -   the  paint  colour  code.
