TOWING THE VEHICLE
Procedure for having your vehicle towed
or for towing another vehicle using a re-
movable towing eye.
Access to the tools
Towing your vehicle
)
On the front bumper, pull on the cover
to unclip it.
)
Screw the towing eye in fully.
)
Install the towing bar.
)
Switch on the hazard warning lamps
on the towed vehicle.
The towing eye is stowed in the boot
under the fl oor.
To gain access to it:
)
open the boot,
)
raise the fl oor,
)
secure it by hooking its cord on the
hook on the rear parcel shelf sup-
port,
)
remove the towing eye from the
holder.
)
Place the gear lever in neutral
(position N
on an automatic
gearbox).
Failure to comply with this special
requirement may result in damage
to certain braking components
and the absence of braking assis-
tance the next time the engine is
started.
General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in
your country.
Ensure that the weight of the tow-
ing 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 re-
covery service:
- vehicle broken down on a mo-
torway or fast road,
- when it is not possible to put
the gearbox into neutral, un-
lock the steering, or release
the parking brake,
- towing with only two wheels on
the ground,
- where there is no approved
towing bar available...

Towing another vehicle
*
The bicycle carrier cannot be attached
to your vehicle's tailgate.
Towbar suitable only for the attachment
of a bicycle carrier *
.
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.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional lighting
and signalling.
We recommend the use of genu-
ine PEUGEOT towbars and their
harnesses that have been tested
and approved from the design
stage of your vehicle, and that the
fi tting 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. . The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a gen-
uine PEUGEOT towbar is used.
We recommend that you do not
drive up onto high kerbs (risk of
damaging your vehicle).

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.
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. Driving with a trailer places greater de-
mands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care. The maximum towed load on a long in-
cline depends on the gradient and the
ambient temperature.
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 sig-
nalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a gen-
uine 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.
