General points relating to child seats
For maximum safety, please observe the following recommendations: - in accordance with European regulations, all children under the age of 12 or less than one and a half metres tall must travel in approved child seats suited to their weight , on seats fitted with a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings * , - statistically, the safest seats in your vehicle for carr ying children are the rear seats, - a child weighing less than 9 kg must travel in the "rearward facing" position both in the front and in the rear.
PEUGEOT recommends that children should travel on the rear seats of your vehicle: - "rearward-facing" up to the age of 3,
- "forward-facing" over the age of 3.
Although one of PEUGEOT main criteria when designing your vehicle, the safety of your children also depends on you.
* The rules for carrying children are specific to each country. Refer to the legislation in force in your country.

Practical information

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 remain at the wheel of the towed vehicle and must have a valid driving licence. When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, always use an approved towing bar; rope and straps are prohibited. The towing vehicle must move off gently. 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 recovery service: - vehicle broken down on a motor way or fast road, - four-wheel drive vehicle, - 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...
 On the rear bumper, press the cover (as shown above) to unclip it.  Screw the towing eye in fully.  Install the towing bar.  Switch on the hazard warning lamps on the towed vehicle.  Move off gently and drive slowly over a short distance only.

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.
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. The maximum towed load on a long incline depends on the gradient and the ambient temperature. In all cases, keep a check on the coolant temperature.
 If the warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance. To avoid overheating of the brakes on a long mountain type of descent, the use of engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
 Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the recommended pressures.
Lighting
 Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a genuine PEUGEOT towbar is used.
Refer to the "Technical data" section for details of the weights and towed loads which apply to your vehicle.

Technical data
308_EN_CHAP09_CARACTERISTIQUES TECHNIQUES_ED02-2013
Weights and towed loads
The weights are given in the registration certificate for your vehicle and on the manufacturer's VIN plate. The information can also be obtained from PEUGEOT dealers and is included in the descriptive table of technical characteristics for the vehicle in sales brochures. The maximum type-approved trailer weight
varies according to market zone. In each country, you must comply with local legislation on towed loads.
For information on your vehicle's towing capabilities and its gross train weight, contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Load transfer
If the towing vehicle has not reached the GV W, it is possible to transfer this weight to the trailer. The gross train weight and maximum trailer weight are valid up to an altitude of 1 000 metres; the maximum trailer weight specified must be reduced by 10 % for every additional 1 000 metres of altitude. In all cases, do not exceed the weight of the trailer and the GTW, indicated on your registration certificate. Observe the towing capacities of your vehicle.
The weight of a braked trailer with load transfer can be increased on condition that the equivalent weight is removed from the vehicle and the GTW is not exceeded. High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the per formance of the vehicle to protect the engine. If the ambient temperature is above 37 °C, limit the towed load to 700 kg, without any transfer of load. The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation
in force in your country).
The recommended nose weight (weight on the
towbar ball) is 75 kg.
Engines
The values (engine capacity, net maximum power, power to weight ratio, engine speed, CO2 emissions, ...) are given in your vehicle's registration document. They can also be obtained from PEUGEOT dealers and are included in the descriptive table of technical characteristics for the vehicle in sales brochures.
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
