PRACTICAL INFORMATION

General recommendations
  Observe the legislation in force in 
your country. 
  Ensure that the weight of the tow-
ing vehicle is higher than that of the 
towed vehicle. 
  The driver must stay at the wheel 
of the towed vehicle. 
  Driving on motorways and fast 
roads is prohibited when towing. 
  When towing a vehicle with all four 
wheels on the ground, always use 
an approved towing bar; rope and 
straps are prohibited. 
  When towing a vehicle with the 
engine off, there is no longer any 
power assistance for braking or 
steering. 
  In the following cases, you must al-
ways call on a professional recovery 
service: 
   
 
-   vehicle broken down on a mo-
torway or fast road, 
   
-   when it is not possible to put the 
gearbox into neutral, unlock the 
steering, or release the parking 
brake, 
   
-   towing with only two wheels on 
the ground, 
   
-   where there is no approved 
towing bar available...  
 
TOWING A TRAILER
 
Your vehicle is primarily designed for 
transporting people and luggage, but it 
may also be used for towing a trailer.   Driving with a trailer places greater de-
mands on the towing vehicle and the 
driver must take particular care.  
   
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 towed load 
must be reduced by 10 % for every 
1 000 metres of altitude. 
  Refer to the "Technical Data" section for 
details of the weights and towed loads 
which apply to your vehicle.  
   
Side wind 
   
 
 ) 
 Take into account the increased 
sensitivity to side wind.  
     
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a 
trailer with additional lighting and sig-
nalling. 
  We recommend the use of genuine 
PEUGEOT towbars and their har-
nesses that have been tested and 
approved from the design stage of 
your vehicle, and that the fi tting of the 
towbar is entrusted to a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop. 
 
If the towbar is not fi tted by a PEUGEOT 
dealer, it is imperative that it is fi tted  in 
accordance with the vehicle manufac-
turer's instructions. 
   Driving advice 
 
 
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.
