section of chapter 8.
TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...


Distribution of loads

Distribute the load in the trailer so
that the heaviest objects are as
close as possible to the axle and
the nose weight is close to the
maximum authorised without, however,
exceeding it.

Cooling

Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the coolant temperature. As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to
lower the engine speed and reduce
your speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant temperature.


Driving advice

A towed vehicle must free wheel:
gearbox in neutral.

Towing a trailer


Good Practice

In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a
steep slope in high temperatures), the
engine automatically limits its power. In
this case, the automatic cutting off of
the air conditioning allows the engine
power to be recovered.


Tyres:
check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (see the "Identifi cation
features" section of chapter 8) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressure. See the "Levels" section of chapter 6. If the coolant temperature
warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the
engine as soon as possible.
Brakes

Towing increases the braking distance.
Drive at a moderate speed, change
down early and brake gradually.

Towbar

We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars and their
harnesses, which have been tested
and approved from the design stage of
your vehicle, and that you entrust the
fi tting of this equipment to a PEUGEOT
dealer.
If this equipment is not fi tted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative that
it is fi tted using the electrical pre-
equipment installed at the rear of the
vehicle and in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
In accordance with the general
instructions a reminder of which has
been given above, we draw your
attention to the risk linked with fi tting
a towbar or electrical accessory not
recommended by PEUGEOT. Fitting
such equipment could result in the
failure of your vehicle’s electronic
system. Please contact a PEUGEOT
dealer for information before fi tting this
type of equipment.
Side wind

Sensitivity to side wind is increased.
Drive smoothly and at a moderate
speed.

ABS/ESP

The ABS or ESP systems only control
the vehicle, not the trailer or caravan.

Rear parking assistance

The assistance does not function while
the vehicle is towing.
