QUICK HELP
7
Without lifting (4 wheels on the ground)
You should always use a towing bar.

- Fully screw in the removable towing eye.
TOWING THE VEHICLE
Lifting (2 wheels on the ground only)
It is preferable to lift the vehicle using
professional lifting equipment.
From the rear
- Unclip the cover using a coin or the flat part of the towing eye,
- Fully screw in the removable towing eye.
Vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox (Diesel version)
In the case of vehicles fitted with a manual
gearbox, the gear lever must be in the
neutral position. Failure to observe this
special condition may result in damage
to certain braking components and the
absence of braking assistance the next time
the engine is started.

Having your vehicle towed
General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in your
country.
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 bar; 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:
- vehicle broken down on a motorway or fast road,
- four-wheel drive vehicle,
- when it is not possible to put the gearbox into neutral, unlock the
steering, or release the parking brake,
- towing with only two wheels on the ground,
- where there is no approved towing bar available...

Weights
WEIGHTS AND TOWED LOADS (KG)
For more information, refer to your registration certificate.
In each country, it is imperative that the towed loads permitted by local legislation a\
re complied with. To find out your vehicle's towing
capabilities and its gross train weight, contact a PEUGEOT dealer.
Load transfer
If the towing vehicle has not reached the GVW, it is possible to transfer this weight to the trailer.
In all cases, do not exceed the weight of the trailer and the GTW, indicated on your registration certificate.
Observe the towing capacities of your vehicle.
The weight of a braked trailer with load transfer can be increased on co\
ndition that the equivalent weight is removed from the vehicle and
the GTW is not exceeded.
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the performance o\
f the vehicle to protect the engine. If the ambient temperature is
above 37 °C, limit the towed load to 700 kg, without any transfer of \
load.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) (comp\
ly with the legislation in force in your country).
