PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Driving advice
Distribution of loads:
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.
Cooling:
towing a trailer on a slope increases
the temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled,
its cooling capacity is not dependent
on the engine speed.
To lower the engine speed, reduce
your speed.
The maximum towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and
the outside temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the cool-
ant temperature.
If the warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible. Tyres:
check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pres-
sures.
Braking:

towing increases the braking distance.
Lights:
check the electrical signalling on the
trailer.
Sidewind:
take into acount the increased sensi-
tivity to side wind.
TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC.
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars that have been
tested and approved from the design
stage of your vehicle and that the i t-
ting of the towbar is entrusted to a
PEUGEOT dealer.
Your vehicle is primarily designed
for transporting people and luggage
but it may also be used for towing a
trailer.
Driving with a trailer subjects the tow-
ing vehicle to more signii cant stress
and its driver must be particularly
careful.
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.
The rear parking assistance function
will be disarmed automatically when
a towbar is i tted.
