In all cases, pay attention to the cool-
ant temperature.
Note:
in certain cases of particularly
arduous use (towing the maximum
load in high temperatures on a steep
slope), the engine automatically
limits its power and selects the ap-
propriate automatic gearbox gear in
manual mode. In this case, cutting off
the air conditioning allows the engine
power to be recovered, and therefore
the towing capacity to be increased.
If the coolant temperature warning
light comes on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as soon as pos-
sible.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures of
the towing vehicle (label on the cen-
tral door pillar on the driver's side)
and of the trailer towed, observing
the recommended pressure.
Brakes: towing increases the brak-
ing distance. Drive at a moderate
speed, change down early and brake
gradually.
Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed.
Lighting
Manual adjustment
Adjust your headlamps so as not to
dazzle other road users. Check the
electrical signalling of the trailer.
TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...
Only use original PEUGEOT tow-
bars which have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
your vehicle.
The towbar must be itted by a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Driving advice
Distribution of loads: distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heavi-
est loads 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.
