Deactivation Operating fault If an operating fault occurs, this
warning light comes on, when
reverse gear is engaged, ac-
companied by an audible signal
(short beep) and a message on the mul-
tifunction display.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
The system will be deactivated au-
tomatically when a trailer is being
towed or when a bicycle carrier is
i tted (vehicle i tted with a towbar
or bicycle carrier recommended by
PEUGEOT).
Reactivation

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. Driving advice
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.
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 towing load
must be reduced by 10 % and so on for
every 1 000 metres of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for
details of the weights and towing loads
which apply to your vehicle.
Side wind

 Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind. Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
Tyres

 Check the tyre pressures of the tow-
ing vehicle and of the trailer, observ-
ing the recommended pressures.
Lights

 Check the electrical signalling on
the trailer.
The rear parking assistance will be
deactivated automatically if a gen-
uine PEUGEOT towbar is used.
 If the warning light and the

STOP warning light come
on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as
soon as possible.
Towbar suited to the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional signal-
ling and lighting.
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.
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars and their har-
nesses that have been tested and ap-
proved from the design stage of your
vehicle and that the i tting of the towbar
is entrusted to a PEUGEOT dealer.
If the trailer is not i tted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative
that it is i tted using the electrical
pre-equipment installed at the rear of
the vehicle, in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions. Driving with a trailer subjects the towing
vehicle to more signii cant stress and its
driver must be particularly careful.

TECHNICAL DATA
The GTW and towed load values indicated apply up to a maximum altitude of 1000 metres; the towed load mentioned mu st
be reduced by 10% for each additional 1000 metres of altitu de.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (100 k m/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High exterior temperatures may result in a reduction in the perf ormance of the vehicle in order to protect the engine; when
the exterior temperature is higher than 37 °C, limit the wei ght towed.
