Having your vehicle towed

General recommendations

Observe the legislation in force in your
country.
Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle
is higher than that of the towed vehicle.
The person at the wheel of the towed vehicle
must have a valid driving licence.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground, always use an approved
towing bar; rope and straps are prohibited.

braking or steering.
In the following cases, you must always call
on a professional recovery service:


- vehicle broken down on a motorway or
fast road,

- when it is not possible to put the
gearbox into neutral, unlock the
steering, or release the parking brake,

Weights

WEIGHTS AND TOWED LOADS (KG)

For more information, refer to your registration certificate.
In each country, it is imperative that the towed loads permitted by local legislation are complied with. To find out your vehicle's towing
capabilities and its gross train weight, contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

Load transfer
If the towing vehicle has not reached the GVW, it is possible to transfer this weight to the trailer.
In all cases, do not exceed the weight of the trailer and the GTW, indicated on your registration certificate.
Observe the towing capacities of your vehicle.

The weight of a braked trailer with load transfer can be increased on condition that the equivalent weight is removed from the vehicle and
the GTW is not exceeded.
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 to 700 kg, without any transfer of load.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
