Driving advice
Distribution of loads
F 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
1
000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10
% for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.
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.
F

T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
F

I
f the warning lamp and
the
STOP warning lamp come
on, stop the vehicle and switch
off the engine as soon as
possible.
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.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a genuine
PEUGEOT towbar is used.
Refer to the "Technical data" section for details
of the weights and towed loads which apply to
your vehicle.
Practical information

2008_en_Chap11_caracteristiques-techniques_ed01-2015
General information
Towing with a lightly loaded vehicle can
adversely affect roadholding.
Braking distances are increased when
towing a trailer.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not
exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) (comply with
the legislation in force in your country). High ambient temperatures may result
in a reduction in the per formance of the
vehicle to protect the engine; when the
ambient temperature is higher than
37 °C, limit the towed weight.
Engine characteristicsWeights and towed
loads
The engine characteristics (capacity,
maximum power, maximum power speed, fuel,
CO
2 emissions...) for your vehicle are given in
t
he registration document, as well as in sales
brochures.
These characteristics correspond to the
values type-approved on a test bed, under
conditions defined in European legislation
(Directive


1999/99/EC).
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop. The maximum weights and towed loads for your
vehicle are given are given in the registration
document, as well as in sales brochures.
These values are also present on the
manufacturer's plate or label (see the
"Identification markings" section).
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The kerb weight is equal to the unladen
weight
+ driver (75 kg).
The gross train weight and towed load values
indicated apply up to a maximum altitude of
1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned
must be reduced by 10 % for every additional
1
000 metres.
The weight of the braked trailer can be
increased, within the GTW limit, on condition
that the GV W of the towing vehicle is reduced
by the same amount.
The recommended nose weight is the vertical
load on the towbar ball (removable with or
without tools).
GV W:

gross vehicle weight, the maximum authorised vehicle weight.GT W: gross train weight, the maximum authorised weight of vehicle plus trailer.
