Characteristics of engines
and towed loads
Engines
The engine specifications (capacity, max.
power, max. speed, energy, CO
2 emissions,
etc.) associated with your vehicle are indicated
on the registration document, as well as in
sales brochures.
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, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Weights and towed loads
The weights and towed loads relating to
your vehicle are indicated on the registration
document, as well as in sales brochures.
These values are also indicated on the
manufacturer's plate or label.
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop. The GTW values and the towed loads listed are
valid for a maximum altitude of 1,000
metres.
The towed load must be reduced by steps of
10% for each additional 1,000 metres.
The maximum authorised nose weight
corresponds to the weight permitted on the
towball.
GT W: Gross train weight.
When exterior temperatures are high,
the vehicle per formance may be limited
in order 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 approximately 60 mph
(100
km/h) (obser ve the local legislation
in force). If the exterior temperature is high, it is
recommended that the engine is allowed
to idle for 1 to 2
minutes after the vehicle
comes to a stop, to facilitate its cooling.
