Towing a trailer, a caravan...
We recommend the use of genuinePEUGEOT towbars and their harnessesthat have been tested and approved from the design stage of your vehicleand that the fitting of the towbar is entrusted to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.If the towbar is not fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative that it is fitted following the manufacturer'sinstructions.
Your vehicle is primaril
y designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it mayalso be used for towing a trailer. Drivin
g with a trailer subjects the towing vehicle

particularly careful.
