TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, ETC...
Driving advice
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.
A towed vehicle must free wheel: gearbox in
neutral.
Cooling: towing a trailer on a slope
increases the coolant temperature.

ACCESSORIES
Towing a trailer

138
Bipper_en_Chap07_accessoire_ed02-2014
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a steep
slope in high temperatures), the engine
automatically limits its power. In this case,
automatic cutting off of the air conditioning
allows the engine power to be saved.If the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
ChecksSee the "
l evels" section of
chapter 7.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures on the
towing vehicle and the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Brakes: towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake gradually. Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed.
ABS: the system only controls the vehicle,
not the trailer.
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.
t

he air density decreases with
altitude, so reducing the performance of the
engine.
t

he maximum towed load must be
reduced by 10 % for each 1 000 metres of
altitude.
Refer to the "
t
echnical data -


Identification markings" section. Rear parking sensors: the sensors will be
deactivated automatically when an genuine
P
euge O t towbar is used.
Towbar
We recommend the use of genuine
P
euge O t towbars and their harnesses,
which have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle, and that
the fitting of this equipment is entrusted to a
P
euge O t
dealer or a qualified workshop.
If this equipment is not fitted by a P

euge O t

dealer

, it is essential that it is fitted using
the electrical pre-equipment located at
the rear of the vehicle and following the
manufacturer's instructions.
t

he operation of the rear parking sensors is
deactivated automatically when the trailer
cable connector is inserted in the towbar
socket.
When the trailer cable is removed, the rear
parking sensors are re-activated.
Refer to the "
t
echnology on board -


Parking sensors" section.
For information on the maximum
weights and towed loads applicable to
your vehicle, refer to the "
