     TOWING A TRAILER, A 
CARAVAN, ETC. 
 Your  vehicle  is  primarily  designed  for  
transporting  people  and  luggage,  but  it 
may also be used for towing a trailer.   Driving advice 
 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. 
  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.  
 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.   
  Side wind  
   
     Take  into  account  the  increased 
sensitivity to side wind.      Braking 
 Towing  a  trailer  increases  the  braking  
distance.   
  Tyres  
   
     Check the tyre pressures of the tow-
ing vehicle and of the trailer, observ- 
ing the recommended pressures.   
  Lights  
   
     Check  the  electrical  signalling  on 
the trailer.  
   The rear parking assistance will be  
deactivated  automatically  if  a  gen-
uine  PEUGEOT  towbar is used.       
     If  the  warning  light  and  the 
 
STOP     warning  light  come 
on,  stop  the  vehicle  and 
switch  off  the  engine  as 
soon as possible.   
  Towbar  suited  to  the  attachment  of  a 
trailer or caravan with additional signal-
ling and lighting. 
  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.  
   We recommend the use of original  
 PEUGEOT   towbars  and  their  har-
nesses  that  have  been  tested  and 
approved  from  the  design  stage 
 o f    y o u r    v e h i c l e    a n d    t h a t    t h e    fi   t -
ting  of  the  towbar  is  entrusted  to  a   
 PEUGEOT  dealer.

pre-equipment installed at the rear 
of  the  vehicle,  in  accordance  with 
the manufacturer's instructions.   Driving with a trailer subjects the towing 
 v e h i c l e   t o   m o r e   s i g n i fi   c a n t   s t r e s s   a n d   i t s
