TOWING YOUR VEHICLE
Without lifting (4 wheels on the road)
You should always use a tow bar.The towing eye is inside the spare wheel. From the front: Lift the cover using the flat part of the towing eye.Screw in the towing eye until it locks.From the rear:Unclip the cover by passing your hand behind the bumper and pushing.Screw in the towing eye until it locks. Lifting (2 wheels on the road only) It is preferable to raise the vehicle by the wheels.
Never use the radiator crossmember.

TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT ETC.
Only use original PEUGEOT tow bars that have been tested andapproved from the design stage ofyour vehicle. The tow bar must be fitted by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Your vehicle is basically designed for transporting people and luggage but it
may also be used for towing a trailer. Driving with a trailer subjects the towing vehicle to more significantstress and its driver must be particu-larly careful. Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine performance.The maximum towing load mustbe reduced by 10% for every 1000 metres of altitude. Driving advice Distribution of loads: Distribute
the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possi-ble to the axle and the nose weightapproaches the maximum permittedwithout exceeding it. Cooling:
Towing a trailer on a slope
increases the temperature of thecoolant. As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependenton the engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the engine speed, and reduceyour speed. The maximum towing speed on a long slope depends on the gradientand the outside temperature. For vehicles fitted with a direct injec- tion petrol engine, after towing or dri-ving at high speed for a long periodof time, the fan may operate forapproximately 6 minutes. In all cases, pay attention to the coolant temperature. If the warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the engineas soon as possible. Tyres:
Check the tyre pressures of
the towing vehicle and the trailer,observing the recommended pres-sures. Brakes: Towing increases the brak-
ing distance. Lights: Check the electrical sig-
nalling on the trailer.Side wind: Take into acount the
increased sensitivity to side wind.
