Towing another vehicle
Put the gear lever into neutral
(position N for an electronic or
automatic gearbox).
Failure to follow this instruction could
lead to damage to certain components
(brakes, transmission,
...) and the
absence of braking assistance on
restarting the engine.
General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in your
c o unt r y.
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 arm; 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:
-

v
ehicle broken down on a motor way
or fast road,
-
f

our-wheel drive vehicle,
-

w
hen it is not possible to put the
gearbox into neutral, unlock the
steering, or release the parking
brake,
-

t
owing with only two wheels on the
ground,
-

w
here there is no approved towing
arm available...

Towing a trailer
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it may
also be used for towing a trailer.Refer to the "Technical data" section for
details of the weights and towed loads
which apply to your vehicle.
We recommend the use of genuine
PEUGEOT towbars and their harnesses
that have been tested and approved
from the design stage of your vehicle,
and that the fitting of the towbar is
entrusted to a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative that it
is fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.
If the trailer starts to sway, you risk
losing control. The trailer could
overturn. There is a risk of an accident.
Do not try to correct the trailer's
movement by accelerating. Reduce
your speed and do not counter-steer.
Brake if necessary.
Driving advice
Distribution of loads
F 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.
Practical information

253
Side wind
F 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.
F

T
o 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.
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
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a genuine
PEUGEOT towbar is used.
F

I

f the warning lamp and the

STOP
warning lamp come on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine as
soon as possible.

Removal
F Unclip the upper part of the screen, starting at the edges.
F

T
ake the screen by the lower edges and
detach it by pulling it towards you.
Very cold climate screen
F Offer up the screen, placing the lower clips in contact with lower section of the lower
grille, using the centre guide as an aid.
F

C
lip first the lower part, then the upper
part, from the middle out towards the
edges.
Fitting
Removable protective screen which prevents the accumulation of snow at the radiator cooling fan.
Before fitting or removing the screen, ensure that the engine is off and the cooling fan has stopped. It is recommended that the screen be fitted and
removed by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Do not forget to remove the very cold
climate screen:
