reverse gear (position P for the
automatic gearbox). Access to the spare wheel

( 4 w h e e l s o n t h e g r o u n d )
You must always use a tow bar.
The removable towing eye is inside
the spare wheel.
Estate: the removable towing eye is
inside the right-hand boot trim. F r o m t h e f r o n t :
Unclip the cover, by pressing the
bottom part,
Screw in the towing eye as far as
it will go.
L i f t i n g ( 2 w h e e l s o n l y o n t h e

It is preferable to raise the vehicle
with a professional lifting device.
When towing with the engine
switched off, there is no brak-
ing or steering assistance.
T O W I N G Y O U R V E H I C L E
From the rear:
Unclip the top of the cover using
a coin,

D r i v i n g a d v i c e
D i s t r i b u t i o n o f l o a d s :
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
coolant temperature.
If the warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible. T y r e s :
check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing
the recommended pressures.
Braking:
towing increases the
braking distance.
Lights: check the electrical
signalling on the trailer.
S i d e w i n d : 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.
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars and their
harnesses that have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
y o u r v e h i c l e a n d t h a t t h e i t t i n g o f t h e
towbar is entrusted to a PEUGEOT
dealer.
I f t h e t o w b a r i s n o t i t t e d b y a
PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative
t h a t i t i s i t t e d u s i n g t h e e l e c t r i c a l
pre-equipment located at the rear of
the vehicle in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Driving with a trailer subjects the
t o w i n g v e h i c l e t o m o r e s i g n i i c a n t
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
