Before each use
Check that the towball is correctly fitted, verifying the follow points:
- t he towball is correctly engaged (position A ),
-

t
he safety lock is on and the key removed; the trigger can no longer be operated,
-

t
he towball must not be able to move in its carrier; test by shaking it with your hand.
If the towball is not locked, the trailer could separate - Risk of an accident!
During use
Never release the locking system with a trailer or load carrier on the towball.
Never exceed the maximum authorised weight for the vehicle plus trailer - the Gross Train
Weight or GTW.
You must not exceed the maximum nose weight on the towbar: if exceeded, this could result
in detachment from the vehicle - Risk of an accident!
Check that the trailer lighting and signalling work correctly.
Before setting off, check the adjustment of the headlamp beam height.
For more information on Adjusting the headlamp beam height , refer to the corresponding
section.
Following use
When travelling without a trailer or load on a towbar-mounted carrier, the towball must be
removed and the protective plug inserted in the carrier. This measure applies particularly
where the towball might obscure visibility of the number plate or its lighting.
Maintenance
Correct operation is only possible if the towball
and its carrier are kept clean.
Before cleaning the vehicle with a high-
pressure jet wash, the towball must be removed
and the protective plug fitted to the carrier.
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop for any work on the towbar system.
