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. 
   
Driving advice 
 
As the fan is electrically controlled, its 
cooling capacity is not dependent on 
the engine speed. 
   
 
 ) 
  To lower the engine speed, reduce 
your speed.  
  The maximum towing load on a long 
slope depends on the gradient and the 
ambient 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.    
Braking 
  Towing a trailer increases the braking 
distance.  
   
Tyres 
   
 
 ) 
 
Check the tyre pressures of the towing 
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the 
recommended pressures.  
 
 
 
Lighting 
   
 
 ) 
 Check the electrical lighting and 
signalling on the trailer.  
  The rear parking sensors will be de-
activated automatically if a genuine 
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.  
     
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a 
trailer or caravan with additional lighting 
and signalling. 
   
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 towing load 
must be reduced by 10 % 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.     Driving with a trailer subjects the towing 
vehicle to more signifi cant stress and its 
driver must be particularly careful.  
  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. 
  If the trailer is not fi tted by a 
PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative 
that it is fi tted using the electrical 
pre-equipment installed at the rear 
of the vehicle, in accordance with 
the manufacturer's instructions.    
If your vehicle is fi tted with the 
1.6 THP 200 hp engine, you can-
not fi t a towbar. The space occu-
pied by the sport exhaust system 
prevents this.
