PRACTICAL INFORMATION





TOWING A TRAILER,
A CARAVAN, ETC.
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
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.


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.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional lighting
and signalling.

Driving advice

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 t-
ting 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 manufacturer's instruc-
tions. Driving with a trailer places greater de-
mands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.
In all cases, keep a check on the cool-
ant temperature.

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.


Lighting


)
Check the electrical lighting and sig-
nalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a gen-
uine PEUGEOT towbar is used.


)
If the warning lamp and the
STOP
warning lamp come
on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as
soon as possible.
The maximum towed load on a long in-
cline depends on the gradient and the
ambient temperature.

TECHNICAL DATA


























IDENTIFICATION MARKINGS

Various visible markings for the identifi -
cation of your vehicle.
Wheels which are fi tted with
225/40 R18 tyres cannot be fi tted
with snow chains. For further infor-
mation, contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop.
If the infl ation pressures are too low,
this increases fuel consumption.
The infl ation pressures must be
checked when the tyres are cold,
at least once a month.


A.
Vehicle identifi cation number
(VIN) under the bonnet.

This number is engraved on the
bodywork near the damper support.
For access to it, raise the plastic
cover.
B.
VIN on the windscreen lower
crossmember.

This number is indicated on a self-
adhesive label which is visible
through the windscreen.

C.
Manufacturer's label.

This number is indicated on a self-
destroying label affi xed to the door
aperture, below the door striker, on
the right-hand side.
D.
Tyre/paint label.

This label is affi xed to the door aper-
ture, on the driver's side.
It bears the following information:


- the tyre infl ation pressures, laden
and unladen,

- the wheel rim and tyre sizes,

- the brands of tyre recommended by
the manufacturer,

- the infl ation pressure of the spare
wheel,

- the paint colour code.
