General information
Engine characteristicsWeights and towed loads
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). 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.
Towing with a lightly loaded vehicle can
adversely affect roadholding.
Braking distances are increased when
towing a trailer.
Never exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) when
towing (comply with the legislation in
force in your country).
GV W:
gross vehicle weight, the maximum authorised vehicle weight.
GT W: gross train weight, the maximum authorised weight of vehicle
plus trailer.
The engine characteristics (capacity,
maximum power, maximum power speed, fuel,
CO
2 emissions...) for your vehicle are given in
the 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
