The collision can be automatically
avoided if the speed difference between
your vehicle and the one ahead is not
more than 9 mph (15 km/h).
Above this threshold, the system will do
what is possible to avoid or reduce the
seriousness of the accident by lowering
the speed of impact.
The automatic braking triggered:

Practical information159
208_en_Chap07_informations-pratiques_ed01-2016
Towing a trailer
We recommend the use of genuine
PEUGEOT towbars and their harnesses
that have been tested and approved
from the design stage of your vehicle,
and that the fitting of the towbar is
entrusted to a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by a
PEUGEOT dealer, it must still be
fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it may
also be used for towing a trailer.
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.
For more advice on driving when
towing, refer to the corresponding
section.
For more information on weights (and
the towed loads which apply to your
vehicle) refer to the corresponding
section.
You must observe the maximum trailer
weight, indicated on the registration
certificate or in the technical
specification for your vehicle.

208_en_Chap07_informations-pratiques_ed01-2016
When towing
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.
For more information on weights (and the
towed loads which apply to your vehicle) refer
to the corresponding section.
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

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, 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 and the headlamp beam
height of your vehicle.
For more information on adjusting the
headlamp beam height, refer to the
corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a genuine
PEUGEOT towbar is used.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing
engine per formance. Above 1 000 metres, the
maximum towed load must be reduced by 10
%
for every 1
000 metres of altitude.
F To 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.

Take care, the sealant product is
harmful if swallowed and causes
irritation to the eyes.
Keep this product out of the reach of
children.
The use-by date is marked on the
cartridge.
After use, do not discard the
cartridge by the roadside, take it to a
PEUGEOT dealer or an authorised
waste disposal site.
Don't forget to obtain a new sealant
cartridge, available from a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop. If after around 5 to 7 minutes the
pressure is not attained, this indicates
that the tyre is not repairable; contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop for assistance.
