WEIGHTS AND TOWED LOADS
The weights and towable loads for your
vehicle can be found on the vehicle's
registration certificate.
These values, expressed in kg, are
laos present on the manufacturer's
plate or label.The recommended nose weight is
the downward force on the towball
(removable with or without tools).
In each country, it is imperative that
the towed loads authorised by local
legislation are complied with. To find
out your vehicle's towing capacities
and its gross train weight, consult a
PEUGEOT dealer.
The kerb weight is equal to the weight
without load + driver (75 kg) + fuel tank
filled to 90%.
The GTW and towed load values
indicated are valid up to a maximum
altitude of 1000 metres. The value of
the towed load mentioned must be
reduced by 10 % for each additional
1000 metres.
With load transfer, the braked trailer
weight can be increased, on condition
that the equivalent of this load is
removed from the vehicle so that the
GTW is not exceeded. High ambient temperatures
may result in a reduction in the
performance of the vehicle in
order to protect the engine. When the
ambient temperature is higher than
37
°C, limit the towed weight.
Refer to chapter 9, "Identification
markings" section.
ENGINE CHARACTERISTICS
The engine characteristics (capacity,
maximum power, maximum power
speed, fuel, CO
2 emissions...) for your
vehicle are given in the registration
document.
These characteristics correspond
to the values type-approved
on a test bed, under conditions
defined in European legislation
(Directive

1999/99/EC).
For more information, refer to the
manufacturer's website or sales
brochure for the model. Contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop. GVW: gross vehicle weight, the
maximum authorised weight.
GTW: gross train weight, the maximum
weight for vehicle plus trailer.
Towing with a lightly loaded
vehicle can adversely affect road
holding.
Towing a trailer increases braking
distances.
When towing, the maximum permitted
speed is reduced (comply with the
legislation in force in the country).
