PRACTICAL INFORMATION
TOWING A TRAILER
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer. 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
1000 metres, the maximum towed load
must be reduced by 10 % for every
1000 metres of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical data" section for
details of the weights and towed loads
which apply to your vehicle.
Side wind
 Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer or installation of a bicycle carrier,
with additional lighting and signalling.
Driving advice
We recommend the use of genuine
PEUGEOT towbars and their har-
nesses that have been tested and
approved from the design stage
of your vehicle, and that the fi t-
ting 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 instruc-
tions. Driving with a trailer places greater de-
mands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.
In all cases, keep a check on the cool-
ant temperature.
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 tow-ing vehicle and of the trailer, observ-
ing the recommended pressures.
Lighting
 Check the electrical lighting and sig- nalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be de-
activated 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.
The maximum towed load on a long in-
cline depends on the gradient and the
ambient temperature.
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.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
VERY COLD CLIMATE SCREEN *
Removable protective screen which
prevents the accumulation of snow at
the radiator cooling fan.
Fitting
 Offer up the very cold climate screen to the front of the lower section of
the front bumper.
 Press around its edge to engage its fi xing clips one by one.
Do not forget to remove the very
cold climate screen when:
- the ambient temperature ex- ceeds 10 °C,
- towing,
- driving at speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h).
* According to country.
Removal
 Use a screwdriver as a lever to release each fi xing clip in turn. "Comfort":
windstop, cover for windstop, reading
lamp, parking sensors...
"Transport solutions":
boot liner, towbar-mounted bicycle car-
rier, towbars, towbar wiring harnesses...
ACCESSORIES
A wide range of accessories and
genuine parts is available from the
PEUGEOT dealer network.
These accessories and parts have
been tested and approved for reliability
and safety.
They are all adapted to your vehicle and
benefi t from PEUGEOT's recommenda-
tion and warranty. "Styling":
alloy wheels, front spoiler, gear lever
knobs...
"Safety and security":
anti-theft alarm, security wheel bolts,
breathalyser, fi rst aid kit, warning tri-
angle, high visibility vest, stolen vehicle
tracking system, child booster cush-
ions, winter equipment...
** To avoid any risk of jamming of the
pedals:
- ensure that the mat is positioned and secured correctly,
- never fi t one mat on top of another.
"Protection":
mats ** , bumper protection strips, ve-
hicle protective cover...
When fi tting a towbar and its wir-
ing harness outside the PEUGEOT
dealer network, this fi tment must
be done following the vehicle man-
ufacturer's recommendations.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
The fi tting of electrical equipment
or accessories which are not rec-
ommended by PEUGEOT may

electrical consumption.
Please note this precaution. You
are advised to contact a PEUGEOT
representative to be shown the
range of recommended equipment
and accessories.
Depending on the legislation in
force in the country, certain safety
equipment may be compulsory:
