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 l
ower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
th

e 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 a void 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.
Refer to the "
te

chnical data" section for
details of the weights and towed loads
which apply to your vehicle.
th

e rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a genuine

Weights and towed loads
the weights are given in the registration
certificate for your vehicle and on the
manufacturer's VIN plate.
th
e information can also be obtained from
P
e

uge
Ot
dealers and is included in the
descriptive table of technical characteristics for
the vehicle in sales brochures.
th

e maximum type-approved trailer weight
varies according to market zone.
In each country, you must comply with local
legislation on towed loads.
For information on your vehicle's towing
capabilities and its gross train weight,
contact a P
e

uge
Ot
dealer.Load transfer
If the towing vehicle has not reached the gV W,
it is possible to transfer this weight to the trailer.
th

e gross train weight and maximum
trailer weight are valid up to an altitude of
1
000 metres; the maximum trailer weight
specified must be reduced by 10 % for every
additional 1
000 metres of altitude.
In all cases, do not exceed the weight of
the trailer and the
gt
W
, indicated on your
registration certificate.
Observe the towing capacities of your vehicle.
th

e weight of a braked trailer with load
transfer can be increased on condition that the
equivalent weight is removed from the vehicle
and the
gt
W i
s not exceeded.
High ambient temperatures may result in a
reduction in the per formance of the vehicle to
protect the engine. If the ambient temperature
is above 37 °C, limit the towed load to 700 kg,
without any transfer of load.
th

e speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed
60 mph (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation
in force in your country).
th

e recommended nose weight (weight on the
towbar ball) is 75 kg.
engines
the values (engine capacity, net maximum
power, power to weight ratio, engine speed,
CO
2 emissions, ...) are given in your vehicle's
registration document.
th

ey can also be obtained from P
e
uge

dealers and are included in the descriptive
table of technical characteristics for the vehicle
in sales brochures.
