Practical information
Driving advice
Distribution of loads
FDistribute the load in the trailer so that theheaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches
the maximum permitted without
excee
ding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducingengine performance. Above 1 000 metres, the maximum towed load must be reduced by 10 %
for every 1 000 metres of altitude.
Side wind
FTake into account the increased sensitivity
to side wind.

Cooling

To w i ng a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electricall
y controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F
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.
FIf the warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.



Braking

To w i ng a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a longmountain type of descent, the use of engine braking is recommended.


Tyres
F
Check the tyre pressures of the towingvehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the recommended pressures.



Lighting
F
Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.


The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a genuine PEUGEOT towbar is used.
