Practical information
Towing a trailer, a caravan, etc.
We recommend the use of genuine
PEUGEOT towbars and their harnesses
that have been tested and approved
from the design stage of your vehicle,
and that the fitting of the towbar is
entrusted to a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the trailer is not fitted by a PEUGEOT
dealer, it is imperative that it is fitted
using the vehicle's electrical pre-
equipment, in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional lighting and
signalling.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transpor ting people and luggage, but it may
also be used for towing a trailer.
Driving with a trailer places greater demands
on the towing vehicle and the driver must take
particular care.
Blanking cover
When towing, you must remove the blanking
cover in the front bumper if your vehicle has
one.
Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop for this.

Practical information
Driving advice
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 per formance. 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.
The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
)
If the warning lamp and the
STOP
warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
Ty r e s
)
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
)
Check the electrical lighting and signalling
on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a genuine
PEUGEOT towbar is used.
