Without lifting (four wheels on the ground)
You must always use a tow bar. Saloon From the front or the rearAttach the tow bar to the towing eye. 206 SW From the front , attach the tow bar to the towing eye.
From the rear:
- unclip the cover using a coin,
- screw the towing eye (located in the jack storage compartment) as far as it will go. By lifting (two wheels only on the ground) It is preferable to lift the vehicle by the wheels.
Special features of the automatic gearbox When towing with all four wheels on the ground, the following rules mustbe adhered to:
Ð gear lever in position N,
Ð tow the vehicle at a speed less than 30 mph (50 km/h) over a dis- tance of not more than 30 miles(50 km),
Ð do not add oil to the gearbox.

TOWING YOUR VEHICLE

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT etc,
Only use original PEUGEOT tow bars that have been tested andapproved 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 luggagebut it may also be used for towing a
trailer. Driving with a trailer subjects the towing vehicle to more significantstress and its driver must be particu-larly careful. Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine performance.Above 1000 metres, the maximumtowing load must be reduced by10% and so on for every 1000metres of altitude. Driving advice Distribution of loads
: distribute the
load in the trailer so that the hea- viest items are as close as possibleto the axle and the nose weightapproaches the maximum permittedwithout exceeding it. Cooling : towing a trailer on a slope
increases the temperature of the
coolant. As the fan is electricallycontrolled, its cooling capacity is notdependent on the engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the engine speed, and reduceyour speed. The maximum towing load on a long slope depends on the gradient andthe outside temperature. In all cases, pay attention to thecoolant temperature. If the warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the engineas soon as possible.
Tyres
: check the tyre pressures of
the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the recommended pres-sures. Braking : towing increases the bra-
king distance.Lights : adjust your headlamps so
that they do not dazzle other road users. Check the electrical signalling
on the trailer. Side wind : take into acount the
increased sensitivity to side wind.
