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

The maximum towed load on a long in-
cline depends on the gradient and the
ambient temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the cool-
ant 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.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.


)
To lower the engine speed, reduce
your speed.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a
long mountain type of descent, the use
of engine braking is recommended.

Tyres


)
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.


Lighting


)
Check the electrical lighting and sig-
nalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will
be deactivated 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 towed load
must be reduced by 10 % for every
1 000 metres of altitude. Driving with a trailer places greater de-
mands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.
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 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 manufacturer's instructions. Refer to the "Technical Data"
section for details of the
weights and towed loads
which apply to your vehicle.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION











FITTING ROOF BARS

Maximum authorised weight
on the roof rack, for a loading
height not exceeding 40 cm
(with the exception of bicycle
carriers): 65
kg.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt
the speed of the vehicle to the pro-
fi le of the road to avoid damaging the
roof bars and the fi xings on the roof.
Be sure to refer to national legislation
in order to comply with the regula-
tions for transporting objects that are
longer than the vehicle.


When fi tting transverse roof bars, use
the four quick-fi t fi xings provided for this
purpose:


)
lift the concealing fl aps,

)
open the fi xing covers on each bar
using the key,

)
put each fi xing in place and lock
them on the roof one by one,

)
ensure that roof bars are correctly
fi tted (by shaking them),

)
close the fi xing covers on each bar
using the key.









VERY COLD CLIMATE SCREEN

Removable protective screen which
prevents the accumulation of snow at
the radiator cooling fan.
Before fi tting or removing the screen,
ensure that the engine is off and the
cooling fan has stopped. It is recom-
mended that the screen be fi tted and
removed by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.

)
Offer up the screen to the front of
the lower section of the front bum-
per (do not use the upper ventilation
grille position).

)
Press on the edges A
to engage its
fi xing clips.

)
Press on the middle at B
to complete
the engagement of the fi xing clips.



Fitting



)
Pull on the very cold climate screen
using the cut-outs 1
then 2
at the
edges of the screen.
Do not forget to remove the very cold
climate screen:


- when the ambient temperature ex-
ceeds 10° C,

- when towing,

- at speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h).

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 of altitude.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the performance of the vehicle to protect the engine; if the ambient
temperature is above 37 °C, limit the towed load.

* The kerb weight is equal to the unladen weight + driver (75 kg).

** The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit, if the GVW of the towing vehicle is reduced by an
equal amount; warning, towing using a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its road holding.
