Towing a trailer
ACCESSORIES
5
TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...
Refer to the administrative
documents (V5, ...) or to the Petrol
or Diesel "Dimensions, weights
and towed loads" section of
chapter 8.
Distribution of loads: distribute the
load in the trailer so that the heaviest
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
increases the coolant temperature.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.
Dimension A = 0.96 m
Driving advice
A towed vehicle must free wheel:
gearbox in neutral.
108
Towing a trailer
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.
Brakes: towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake
gradually. Please contact a PEUGEOT dealer
fi r s t f o r f u r t h e r i n f o r m a t i o n .
Automatic adjustment
For vehicles with Xenon bulbs, and if
the change in load makes it necessary,
this system automatically corrects the
height of the beam after approximately
2 minutes. The driver is then assured
of having optimum lighting and not
causing a nuisance to other road
users.
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, cutting off the air conditioning
allows the engine power to be
recovered, and therefore the towing
s p e e d t o b e s i g n i fi c a n t l y i n c r e a s e d
(approximately 12 mph [20 km/h]
more). Sequential control of the
gearbox may also become unavailable.
