TOWING THE VEHICLE

Procedure for having your vehicle towed
or for towing another vehicle using a re-
movable towing eye.

Access to the tools

The towing eye is installed in the boot
under the fl oor.
For access to it:


)
change to the "coupé" confi guration,

)
open the boot,

)
raise the fl oor,

)
secure it by hooking its handle on
the boot seal,

)
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 stay at the wheel
of the towed vehicle.
Driving on motorways and fast
roads is prohibited when towing.
When towing a vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground, always use
an approved towing bar; rope and
straps are prohibited.
When towing a vehicle with the
engine off, there is no longer any
power assistance for braking or
steering.
In the following cases, you must
always call on a professional reco-
very service:


-
vehicle broken down on a motor-
way or fast road,

- 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 bar available...

PRACTICAL INFORMATION





TOWING A TRAILER,
A CARAVAN, ETC.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer.
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.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for
details of the weights and towed loads
which apply to your vehicle.

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.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional lighting
and signalling.

Driving advice

We recommend the use of genuine
PEUGEOT towbars and their har-
nesses that have been tested and
approved from the design stage
of your vehicle, and that the fi t-
ting of the towbar is entrusted to
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
If the towbar is not fi tted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative
that it is fi tted in accordance with the
vehicle manufacturer's instructions. Driving with a trailer places greater de-
mands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.

Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.

Tyres


)
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.


Lighting


)
Check the electrical lighting and signal-
ling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be de-
activated automatically if a genuine
PEUGEOT towbar is used.


)
If the warning lamp and the
STOP
warning lamp come
on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as
soon as possible.
The maximum towed load on a long in-
cline depends on the gradient and the
ambient temperature.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION








VERY COLD CLIMATE SCREEN *

Removable protective screen which
prevents the accumulation of snow at
the radiator cooling fan.

Fitting



)
Offer up the very cold climate screen
to the front of the lower section of
the front bumper.

)
Press around its edge to engage its
fi xing clips one by one.

Do not forget to remove the very
cold climate screen:


- when the ambient temperature
exceeds 10 °C,

- when towing,

-
at speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h).



* According to country.


Removal



)
Use a screwdriver as a lever to re-
lease each fi xing clip in turn.

"Comfort":
windstop, cover for windstop, reading
lamp, parking sensors...

"Transport solutions":

boot liner, towbar-mounted bicycle carrier,
towbars, towbar wiring harnesses...





ACCESSORIES

A wide range of accessories and genu-
ine parts is available from the PEUGEOT

These accessories and parts have been
tested and approved for reliability and
safety.
They are all adapted to your vehicle and
benefi t from PEUGEOT's recommenda-
tion and warranty.
"Styling":
alloy wheels, front spoiler.

"Safety and security":

anti-theft alarm, security wheel bolts,
breathalyser, fi rst aid kit, warning triangle,

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
The fi tting of electrical equipment or
accessories which are not recom-
mended by PEUGEOT may result
in a failure of your vehicle's elec-
tronic system and excessive electri-
cal consumption.
Please note this precaution. You
are advised to contact a PEUGEOT
representative to be shown the
range of recommended equipment
and accessories.

Depending on the legislation in
force in the country, it may be com-
pulsory to have a high visibility
safety vest, warning triangle and
spare bulbs and fuses available in
the vehicle.
By visiting a PEUGEOT dealer, you can
also obtain products for maintenance
and cleaning (interior and exterior), in-
cluding products in the "TECHNATURE"
range, products for topping up (screen-
wash...), touch-up pens and paint aero-
sols in the exact colour of your vehicle,
and refi lls (sealant cartridge for the tem-
porary puncture repair kit), ...


Installation of radio
communication transmitters
Before installing any after-market ra-
dio communication transmitter, you
can contact a PEUGEOT dealer for
the specifi cation of transmitters which can be fi tted (frequency, maximum
power, aerial position, specifi c instal-
lation requirements), in line with the
Vehicle Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (2004/104/EC).

The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit, on condition that the GVW of the towing vehicle is reduced
by the same amount; warning: towing with a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its road holding.
The GTW and towed load values indicated apply up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned must
be reduced by 10 % for every additional 1 000 metres.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
