lip the protective cover in place on the
carrier located below the bumper. If the towball is not locked in place, the
trailer could separate. There is a risk of
an accident.
Always lock the towball in the way
described.
Observe the legislation in force in the
country in which you are driving.
Remove the towball when it is not
being used.
Before setting off, check that the trailer
lighting and signalling works correctly.
Maximum authorised nose weight: 70 kg.Refer to the "Technical data" section for
the maximum weights and towed loads
for your vehicle.
Carrying system (box or bicycle carrier).
You must not exceed the maximum
nose weight on the towbar: if this weight
is exceeded, the device could detach
from the vehicle and cause a serious
accident.

Towing a trailer
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it may
also be used for towing a trailer.Refer to the "Technical data" section for
details of the weights and towed loads
which apply to your vehicle.
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 is imperative that it
is fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.
If the trailer starts to sway, you risk
losing control. The trailer could
overturn. There is a risk of an accident.
Do not try to correct the trailer's
movement by accelerating. Reduce
your speed and do not counter-steer.
Brake if necessary.
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.
Practical information

253
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.
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.
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.

F

T
ake the screen by the lower edges and
detach it by pulling it towards you.
Very cold climate screen
F Offer up the screen, placing the lower clips in contact with lower section of the lower
grille, using the centre guide as an aid.
F

C
lip first the lower part, then the upper
part, from the middle out towards the
edges.
Fitting
Removable protective screen which prevents the accumulation of snow at the radiator cooling fan.
Before fitting or removing the screen, ensure that the engine is off and the cooling fan has stopped. It is recommended that the screen be fitted and
removed by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
Do not forget to remove the very cold
climate screen:
