In case of towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.Respect the maximum towable weights.
At altitude:
reduce the maximum load
by 10% per 1,000 metres of altitude; the
density of the air decreases with altitude
and the performance of the engine
reduces.
New vehicle: do not pull a trailer before
having driven at least 620 miles (1,000
kilometres).
If the outside temperature is high, let the
engine idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the
vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.
Before setting off
Nose weight
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight (at the point
where it joins your vehicle) approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
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 signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height of your
vehicle.
If a genuine PEUGEOT towing device
is used, the rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the
audible signal.
When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill increases the
temperature of the coolant. The maximum
towable load depends on the gradient and the
exterior temperature. The cooling capacity of
the fan does not increase with engine speed.
F

T
o reduce the heating up, reduce the
vehicle speed and the engine speed.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
If you are obliged to drive on a flooded road:
F

c

heck that the depth of water does not
exceed 15

cm, taking account of waves that
might be generated by other users,
F

d

eactivate the Stop & Start function,
F

d

rive as slowly as possible without stalling.
In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10

km/h),
F

d

o not stop and do not switch off the engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as safety
conditions allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt about the state of your vehicle,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
