slope depends on the gradient and the
outside temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
Side wind
Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind.
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. 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.
If this message is dis-
played, stop your ve-
hicle as soon as it is
safe to do so.

Opening of the lower tailgate is
prohibited if a towbar is being
used.
We recommend the use of origi-
nal PEUGEOT towbars and their
harnesses that have been tested
and approved from the design
stage of your vehicle and that the

at the rear of the vehicle and in
accordance with the manufac-
turer'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 fi -
cant stress and its driver must
be particularly careful.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer.
Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer so
that the heaviest items are as close

Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above
1 0 0 0 m e t r e s , t h e m a x i m u m t o w i n g
load must be reduced by 10 % of the
GTW 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.

TECHNICAL DATA
WEIGHTS AND TOWED LOADS (IN KG) WEIGHTS
* The kerb weight is equal to the weight without load + driver (75 kg).
** The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mp h (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
*** The braked trailer value corresponds to the towing ca pacities of the vehicle on a 12 % gradient.
High exterior temperatures may result in a reduction in the perf ormance of the vehicle in order to protect the engine; reduce
the towed weight by 450 kg when your altitude increases by 1 000 m.

This number is engraved on the bodywork near the windscreen.
C. Front number plate.
D. Tyres/paint label.
T h i s l a b e l i s a f fi x e d t o t h e p a s s e n - ger’s door centre pillar. It indicates the following informa-
tion:
- the tyres pressures without load and with load,
- the rim and tyre sizes,
- the pressure of the spare wheel,
- the paint colour reference.
E. Serial number behind the wind-
screen.
