MAINTENANCE OF YOUR 30647
Driving advice Distribution of loads: distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviestloads are as close as possible to theaxle and the nose weight is close tothe maximum authorised without,
however, exceeding it. Cooling:
towing a trailer on a slope
increases the coolant temperature. As the fan is electrically controlled, itscooling capacity is not dependent onthe engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the engine speed, and reduceyour speed. The maximum towing load on a long slope depends on the gradient andthe outside temperature. In all cases, pay attention to the coolant temperature. If the warning light comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine assoon as possible.
TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT ETC.
Only use original PEUGEOT towbars which have been tested and approvedfrom the design stage of your vehicle. The towbar must be fitted by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Your vehicle is mainly designed for transporting people and luggage but it
may also be used to tow a trailer. Driving with a trailer subjects the towing vehicle to more significantforces and requires particular atten-
tion on the part of the driver. Air density decreases with altitude, thus also reducing engine perfor-
mance. Above 1000 metres, reducethe maximum towing load by 10 %and so on for each additional 1000 metres.
For use in arduous conditions(towed load at the limit of the Permis-
sible Gross Train Weight, in Summeron a long hill)
certain engines (1.9 l
Diesel) must be equipped with a
more resistant cooling system.
Consult a PEUGEOT dealer who, depending on your vehicle and what it
is used for, will be able to advise youabout suitable equipment. Pay attention to the coolant tempera- ture at all times. If the alarm warning light comes on,
stop the vehicle and switch off theengine as soon as possible.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle and the trailer, obser- ving the recommended pressures. Brakes: towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early, brake graduallyand avoid jerky braking. Lighting: adjust your headlamps so
as not to dazzle other road users. Check the electrical signalling on the
trailer. Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a moderate speed.
