PRACTICAL INFORMATION

RCZ_en_Chap08_info-pratiques_ed01-2015
TOWING A TRAILER
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a trailer with additional lighting \
and signalling.
We recommend use of the PEUGEOT genuine towbar with ball
which can be removed without tools and its harness that have
been tested and approved from the design stage of your vehicle,
and
that the fitting of the towbar is entrusted to a PEUGEOT
dealer

or a qualified workshop.
If
the trailer is fitted outside the PEUGEOT

dealer network, it must
be

fitted in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
dRIVING Ad VICE
Driving with a trailer subjects the towing vehicle to more significant stress and its driver must be particularly careful.
distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as
close as possible to the axle and the nose weight approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine performance.
Above 1
000 metres, the maximum towing load must be reduced by
10
% and so on for every 1 000 metres of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical data" section for details of the weights and
towing loads which apply to your vehicle version.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for transporting people and luggage,
but it may also be used for towing a trailer. Versions that have asymmetrical twin exhaust tailpipes cannot be
fitted

with

a

towbar.

RCZ_en_Chap08_info-pratiques_ed01-2015
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling capacity is not depen\
dent
on the engine speed.
F
T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your speed.
The maximum towing load on a long slope depends on the gradient and
the ambient temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant temperature.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
Tyres
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 .
F
If the warning l
amp and the STOP warning lamp come
on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as
possible. The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a
genuine PEUGEOT towbar is used.
When not towing a trailer, remove the quickly-detachable tow ball
before driving, so as to avoid masking the central rear lamp.
