 In all cases, pay attention to the coolant  
temperature.   
Brakes:    towing  increases  the  braking 
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.   TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC... 
 We  recommend  the  use  of  original  
 PEUGEOT   towbars  which  have  been 
tested  and  approved  from  the  design 
stage of your vehicle and that the tow-

  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 in-
creases the coolant temperature. 
 As the fan is electrically controlled, its  
cooling  capacity  is  not  dependent  on 
the engine speed.    
Note:    in  certain  cases  of  par-
ticularly  arduous  use  (towing 
the  maximum  load  in  high 
temperatures), the engine au-
tomatically limits its power and selects 
the  appropriate  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 in-
creased. 
 If  the  coolant  temperature 
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  (label  on  the  central 
door  pillar  on  the  driver's  side)  and  of 
the trailer towed, observing the recom-
mended pressure.
