C o n s u l t y o u r r e g i s t r a t i o n c e r t i fi c a t e .
In each country, it is imperative that the towed loads permi tted by local legislation are complied with. For information regarding your vehicle’s
towing possibilities and its gross train weight, consult a PEU GEOT dealer.
This table indicates the maximum weight when loaded (GVW) acco rding to the dimensions and names of the vehicle.
Light van
Model codes AA8HSC AA8HSC/P AAKFVC
Engines 1.4 HDi 1.4 l

If the towing vehicle has not reached the GVW, it is possib le to transfer this weight to the trailer.
In all cases, do not exceed the trailer weight and GTW in dicated.
Comply with the towing capacities of your vehicle.

Practical information
LOAD SPACE LAYOUT
Stowing rings
There are 6 stowing rings on the rear floor to
secure your loads.
As a safety precaution in case of sharp
braking, you are advised to place heavy
objects as far forwards towards the driver ’s
seat as possible and immobilise the load by
securing it firmly using the stowing rings on
the floor.
Storage tray
A storage tray is provided at the rear left of
the load space.
Torch
A magnetic torch is provided at the rear right
of the load space.
Remove the torch from its base.
To change the 4 storage batteries (NiMH
type), remove the protective cover from the
torch.
To put the torch back in place, engage
it in the notches on the base and pivot it
upwards.
Ladder type vertical partition
Behind the driver ’s seat, a ladder type
vertical partition protects the driver against
the risk of load movement.
Partitions
Panel, glazed and mid-height panel
with grille type partitions are offered to
complement your light van.
The transportation of passengers in the
load space is not permitted.

Stowing rings
There are 4 stowing rings on the rear floor
to secure your luggage.
Luggage retaining net
Hooked onto the stowing rings, this enables
you to secure your luggage.
Rear shelf
Unfold the shelf to conceal the contents of
the boot from sight from the outside.
Fold the shelf back on itself for easier
access to the contents of the boot.
Store the shelf behind the rear bench seat
when loading bulky items vertically.
Removing the shelf
Fold the shelf back on itself.
Lift the shelf to approximately 60°.
Unclip the shelf’s side fixings from its
supports.
Remove the shelf.
Store the folded shelf in the location behind
the rear bench seat.
To put the shelf back in place, carry out
these operations in reverse order.

ACCESSORIES
Towing a trailer
TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...
Driving advice
A towed vehicle must free wheel: gearbox in
neutral.
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.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the
engine speed and reduce your speed. In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
Page 103 of 131
94
Towing a trailer
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a steep
slope in high temperatures), the engine
automatically limits its power. In this
case, the automatic cutting off of the air
conditioning allows the engine power to be
recovered. If the coolant temperature
warning light comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 7.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (see the "Identification
features" section of chapter 7) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressure.
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.
ABS: the system only controls the vehicle,
not the trailer.
Rear parking assistance: the
assistance will be deactivated
automatically when an original PEUGEOT
towbar is used (see the "Rear parking
assistance" section of chapter 4).
We recommend the use of original
PEUGEOT towbars and their harnesses,
which have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle, and that
the fitting of this equipment is entrusted to a
PEUGEOT dealer .
If this equipment is not fitted by a PEUGEOT
dealer , it is essential that it is fitted using
the electrical pre-equipment located at the
rear of the vehicle in accordance with the
manufacturer ’s instructions.
The operation of the sensors is deactivated
automatically when the pin of the trailer
cable is inserted in the towbar socket.
When the trailer cable pin is removed, the
sensors are re-activated.
Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest objects are as close as possible
to the axle and the nose weight is close to
the maximum authorised without, however,
exceeding it. The air density decreases with
altitude, so reducing the performance of
the engine. The maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10 % for each 1 000 metres
of altitude. Refer to the "Technical data"
chapter for details of the weights and
towed loads applicable to your vehicle and
also to the administrative documents (V5
registration document, ...).
