Towing a trailer
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 must still be 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.Please respect the maximum authorised
towable weights, indicated on the
registration certificate or in your vehicle’s
technical data.
For more information on Driving advice
,
particularly when towing, refer to the
corresponding section.
Energy economy mode
System which manages the duration of use of
certain functions to conser ve a sufficient level
of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can still use
functions such as the audio and telematics
system, windscreen wipers, dipped beam
headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc. for a
maximum combined duration of about forty
minutes.
Switching to this mode
A message appears in the instrument panel
screen indicating that the vehicle has switched
to economy mode and the active functions are
put on standby.
If a telephone call is being made at this
time, it will be maintained for around
10
minutes with the hands-free kit of your
audio system.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it may
also be used for towing a trailer.

Characteristics of the
engines and towed loads
Engines
The engine characteristics are given in the
vehicle's registration document, as well as in
sales brochures.The maximum power corresponds to the
value type-approved on a test bed, under
conditions defined in European legislation
(Directive 1999/99/EC).
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Weights and towed loads
The maximum weights and towed loads for
your vehicle are given in the registration
document, as well as in sales brochures.
These values are also given on the
manufacturer's plate or label.
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The GTW values and the towable loads
listed are valid for a maximum altitude of
1,000
metres. The towable load must be
reduced by steps of 10% for each additional
1,000


metres.
The recommended nose weight is the vertical
load on the towbar ball (removable, with or
without tools).
GT W: Gross train weight. High exterior temperatures may result
in a reduction in the per formance of the
vehicle to protect the engine. When the
exterior temperature is higher than 37°C,
limit the towed weight.
Towing using a lightly loaded vehicle can
adversely affect roadholding.
Braking distances are increased when
towing a trailer.
When using a vehicle to tow, never exceed
a speed of around 60
mph (100 km/h)
(obser ve the local legislation in force).
If the exterior temperature is high, it is
recommended that the engine be allowed
to idle for 1
to 2 minutes after the vehicle
comes to a stop, to facilitate its cooling.
