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.
Driving advice
A towed vehicle must free wheel: gearbox in
neutral.
Cooling: towing a trailer on a slope
increases the coolant temperature.
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. Tyres: check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing
the recommended pressures.
Fitting a towbar
We recommend the use of genuine
PEUGEOT 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
PEUGEOT dealer.
These genuine towbars are compatible with
the operation of the rear parking sensors
and the reversing camera, if fitted to your
vehicle.
If this equipment is not fitted by a PEUGEOT
dealer, it must be fitted in line with the
manufacturer's instructions.
Good practice
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, the automatic cutting off of the air
conditioning allows the engine power to be
recovered.
If the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
Refer to the "Checks - Levels and
checks" section.
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.
Rear parking sensors: the system does not
operate while the vehicle is towing.
Refer to the "Technical data -
Identification markings" section.

ROOF CARRYING
SYSTEMS Refer to the "Technical data -
"Dimensions" section for more
information on the length (L1 to L4) and the
height (H1 to H3) of the vehicle. Maximum load on the roof, evenly
distributed: 150 kg, for all versions,
within the vehicle's weight limit (Gross
Vehicle Weight).
For reasons of safety and to avoid damaging
the roof, it is essential to use a carrying
system (roof bars or roof rack) that is
approved for your vehicle.
Roof bars can only be fitted to H1 height
van, combi and minibus versions. On a
minibus, check for the presence of roof air
conditioning units.
TOWBAR WITH QUICKLY
DETACHABLE TOW BALL
This tow ball can be fitted and removed
quickly and easily without the use of tools.
When not towing a trailer, remove the
quickly-detachable tow ball before driving. Never exceed the maximum authorised
weight for the vehicle plus trailer
(Gross Train Weight - GTW).
For information on the maximum
trailer weight and the recommended
nose weight, refer to the "Technical data -
Weights" section. The carrying system must always be
secured to the fitting points provided on the
vehicle's roof: 6, 8 or 10, depending on the
wheelbase of the vehicle.
Observe the instructions for fitting and use
provided with the carrying system.
Observe in full the legal requirements
related to carrying outsized loads.

Installation of radiocommunication
transmitters

You are advised to contact a PEUGEOT
dealer before installing accessory
radiocommunication transmitters with
external aerial on your vehicle.
PEUGEOT dealers can advise you on
the specifications (frequency waveband,
maximum output power, aerial position,
specific installation conditions) of the
transmitters which can be fitted, in
accordance with the Vehicle Electromagnetic
Compatibility Directive (2004/104/EC).
The fitting of electrical equipment or
accessories which are not listed by
PEUGEOT may result in the failure of your
vehicle's electronic system.
We request that you take note of this point
and recommend that you contact a dealer
to be shown the range of recommended
equipment and accessories.
Depending on the country in which the
vehicle is sold or operated, it may be
compulsory to have a high visibility vest,
warning triangle, replacement bulbs and
breathalyzer in the vehicle.
To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedals:
- ensure that the mat and its fixings are
positioned correctly,
- never fit one mat on top of another.

TOWING
Towing the vehicle
The removable towing eye is located in the
tool box under the front passenger seat.
Unclip the cover using a flat tool.
Screw the removable towing eye in fully.
Attach the approved towing bar to to the
removable towing eye.
Place the gear lever in neutral.
Towing another vehicle
The fixed towing eye is located on the right
below the bumper.
Attach the approved towing bar onto the
fixed eye.
Failure to observe this requirement
may result in damage to certain braking
components and the lack of some braking
assistance systems when the engine is re-
started.
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 driver must remain at the wheel of the
towed vehicle and 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.
The towing vehicle must move off gently.
When towing a vehicle with the engine off,
there is no longer any power assistance for
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,
- four-wheel drive vehicle,
- when it is not possible to put the gearbox into neutral, unlock the
steering, or release the parking brake,
- towing with only two wheels on the ground,
- where there is no approved towing bar available...
