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.

IDENTIFICATION MARKINGS 
 Various visible markings for the identifi -
cation of your vehicle.   If  the  infl ation  pressures  are  too 
low, this increases fuel consump-
tion.     The  infl ation  pressures  must  be 
checked when the tyres are cold, 
at least once a month. 
    A.    Vehicle  identifi cation  number  (VIN) 
under the bonnet.      
  This number is engraved on the  bodywork near the damper support.  
  For access to it, raise the plastic  cover.    B.    VIN on the windscreen lower 
cross member.     
  This number is indicated on a self- adhesive label which is visible 
through the windscreen. 
  C.    Manufacturer's label.     
  This number is indicated on a self- destroying  label  affi xed  to  the  door 
aperture, below the door striker, on 
the right-hand side.    D.    Tyre/paint label.     
  This label is affi xed to the door aper-
ture, on the driver's side.  
 It bears the following information: 
   -   the  tyre  infl ation  pressures,  laden  and unladen, 
  -   the  tyre  sizes, 
  -   the  infl ation  pressure  of  the  spare  wheel, 
  -   the  paint  colour  code.
