Characteristics of engines and towed loads
Engines
The engine characteristics are detailed on the
vehicle's registration certificate, and in the
sales documentation.
Weights and towed loads
When the ambient temperature is high,
leaving the engine running for 1 to
2 minutes after stopping the vehicle to
allow it to cool is recommended.
The weights and towed loads relating to your
vehicle are stated in the registration certificate,
and in the sales documentation.
These values are also shown on the
manufacturer's nameplate or label.
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The GTW and towed load values indicated are
valid up to a maximum altitude of 1,000 metres.
The towed load value must be reduced by 10%
for each additional 1,000 metres of altitude.
The recommended nose weight corresponds
to the weight permitted on the towbar
(dismantlable with or without a tool).
GT W:
Gross train weight 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.
Towing with a towing vehicle which is only
slightly laden may negatively affect its
handling.
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
With a towing vehicle, never exceed the
speed of 62 mph (100 km/h) (obser ve the
local legislation in force).
The maximum power corresponds to
the value type-approved on a test bed,
according to the conditions defined in
European legislation (Directive 1999/99/
EC).

dealer or a qualified workshop.
