PRACTICAL INFORMATION 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.
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 towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and
the outside temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the cool-
ant temperature.
If the warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible. Tyres:
check the tyre pressures of the tow-
ing vehicle and of the trailer, observ-
ing the recommended pressures.
Braking:
towing increases the braking dis-
tance.
Lights:
check the electrical signalling on the
trailer.
Side wind:
take into account the increased sen-
sitivity to side wind.
CARAVAN, A BOAT, ETC.
Your vehicle is primarily designed
for transporting people and luggage
but it may also be used for towing a
trailer.
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars and their har-
nesses that have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
your vehicle and that the i tting of the
towbar is entrusted to a PEUGEOT
dealer.
If the towbar is not i tted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative
that it is i tted using the electrical
pre-equipment located at the rear of
the vehicle in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
Driving with a trailer subjects the tow-
ing vehicle to more signii cant stress
and its driver must be particularly
careful.
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.
The rear parking assistance function
will be disarmed automatically when
a towbar is i tted.

TECHNICAL DATA
WEIGHTS AND TOWING LOADS (in kg)
The GTW and towing load values indicated are valid up t o a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towing load menti oned
must be reduced by 10 % for each additional 1 000 metres of a ltitude.
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 of the perf ormance of the vehicle in order to protect the engine; if the
exterior temperature is above 37 °C, limit the towed weight.
* The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW, if the GVW of the towing vehicle is reduced by a n equal amount; warning, towing using a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its road holding.
