Towing a trailer
  For more information about 
weights, refer to the administrative 
documents (V5 registration 
document, ...) or to the "Weights" 
section of chapter 8. 
  TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC... 
 
 
Distribution of loads 
 
  Distribute the load in the trailer so 
that the heaviest objects are as 
close as possible to the axle and 
the nose weight is close to the 
maximum authorised without, however, 
exceeding it. 
   
Cooling 
 
  Towing a trailer on a slope increases 
the coolant temperature.   As the fan is electrically controlled, its 
cooling capacity is not dependent on 
the engine speed. 
  On the contrary, use a high gear to 
lower the engine speed and reduce 
your speed. 
  In all cases, pay attention to the 
coolant temperature.  
 
 
Driving advice 
 
A towed vehicle must free wheel: 
gearbox in neutral.

Anti-theft alarm, window 
etching, fi rst aid kit, high 
visibility vest, front and rear 
parking sensors, warning 
triangle, security bolts for alloy 
wheels

caught under the pedals: 
   
 
-   ensure that the mat and its fi xings 
are positioned correctly, 
   
-  never fi t one mat on top of another.  
 
  Regardless of the audio and telematic 
equipment offered on the market, 
the technical constraints associated 
with the fi tting of equipment of these 
families of products mean that the 
special features of the equipment and 
its compatibility with the capacities of 
the your vehicle's standard equipment 
must be taken into account. Please 
contact a PEUGEOT dealer for 
more information before fi tting such 
equipment.     
Maximum weights on bars 
   
 
-   Roof rack: 120 Kg. 
   
-   Transverse bars on roof: 100 Kg.

Installation of radiocommunication 
transmitters 
  Before installing accessory 
radiocommunication transmitters with 
an external aerial on your vehicle, you 
are advised to contact a representative 
of the PEUGEOT marque. 
  The PEUGEOT dealer network will 
inform you of the specifi cations 
(frequency band, maximum output 
power, aerial position, specifi c 
installation conditions) of the 
transmitters which can be fi tted, in 
accordance with the Motor Vehicle 
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 
(2004/104/CE).

The fi tting of electrical equipment 
or accessories which are not 
recommended by Automobiles 
PEUGEOT may result in the failure 
of your vehicle's electronic system. 
Please note this specifi c warning. You 
are advised to contact a representative 
of the Marque to be shown the range 
of recommended equipment and 
accessories. 
  Depending on the country in which 
the vehicle is sold or operated, it is 
compulsory to have a high visibility 
safety jacket, warning triangle and 
replacement bulbs available in the 
vehicle.  
 
  "Active Fleet Data" Telematic unit 
 
Connected directly to the heart of the 
vehicle (multiplexed network: "Full CAN"), 
the telematic unit, by means of a "ready to 
use" service, permits the sending in real 
time of information such as: 
   
 
-  distance travelled, 
   
-   distance remaining before the next 
service, 
   
-   warnings and faults (oil level, 
coolant level, oil temperature, 
coolant temperature, etc...).  
  This enables "Fleet" managers 
to optimise the monitoring and 
management of their professional 
vehicles. 
  According to country, contact 
a PEUGEOT dealer for further 
information.

WEIGHTS AND TOWED LOADS (KG)
 
 
General points 
 
The GTW and towed load values 
indicated are valid up to a maximum 
altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed 
load mentioned must be reduced by 
10 % for each additional 1 000 metres. 
  The speed of a towing vehicle must not 
exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) (comply with 
the legislation in force in your country). 
  The braked towed weight with load 
transfer can be increased on condition 
that the equivalent of this load is 
removed from the vehicle so that the 
GTW is not exceeded. Warning: towing 
using a lightly loaded towing vehicle 
may have an adverse effect on its road 
holding.   High ambient temperatures may result 
in a reduction in the performance 
of the vehicle in order to protect the 
engine; when the ambient temperature 
is higher than 37 °C, limit the towed 
weight. 
  The kerb weight is equal to the weight 
without load + driver (75 kg) + fuel tank 
fi lled to 90 %.     For more information, refer to your 
registration certifi cate. 
  In each country, it is imperative that 
the towed loads authorised by local 
legislation are complied with. To fi nd 
out your vehicle's towing capacities 
and its gross train weight, consult a 
PEUGEOT dealer.
