Fitting the towball
Remove the protective blanking plug from the
carrier and check the condition of the fixing
system. If necessary, clean the carrier with a
brush or clean cloth.
Take the towball from the storage bag.
Remove the protective cover from the ball.
Stow the plug and cover in the storage bag.
Check that the towball is unlocked (position B).
If not, insert the key in the lock and turn the
key clockwise to unlock the mechanism.
Then press the locking wheel and turn it fully
clockwise.
Before each use
Check that the towball is correctly fitted by
verifying the following points:
-

t
he towball is correctly locked in place
(position A ),
-

t
he security key lock is on and the key
removed; the locking wheel can no
longer be operated,
-

t
he towball must no longer move at all in
its carrier; try to shake it by hand.
During use
Never unlock the towball when a trailer or
load carrier is fitted.
Never exceed the maximum authorised
weight for the vehicle plus trailer (Gross
Train Weight - GTW).
Before driving, check the adjustment of the
headlamp beam height.
For more information on adjusting the
headlamps, refer to the corresponding
section.
After use
For journeys made without a trailer or load
carrier, the trailer harness socket must be
folded away, the towball removed and
the
protective blanking plug inserted in the
carrier. This measure applies particularly
if the towball could hinder visibility of the
number plate or lighting.

Take the towball in both hands; insert the end
of the towball into the carrier, then, to ensure
that it has correctly locked in place, pull firmly
down on the ball end of the towball.
The locking wheel automatically turns a quarter
of a turn anti-clockwise, making a perceptible
click; take care to keep your hands clear.Check that the towball has correctly locked in
place (position A
).
Turn the key anti-clockwise to lock the towball
fixing mechanism.
Always remove the key and keep it in a safe
place.
If the key cannot be turned or removed, this
means that the towball is not fitted correctly;
start the procedure again.
If one of the locking conditions is not met, start
the procedure again.
In all cases, if the marking remains red, do not
use the towbar and contact a PEUGEOT dealer
or a qualified workshop. Attach the trailer to the towball.
Attach the cable on the trailer to the security
ring located on the carrier.
Lower the trailer harness socket carrier by

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). 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 characteristics Weights and towed loads
The engine characteristics (capacity,
maximum power, maximum power speed, fuel,
CO
2 emissions...) for your vehicle are given in
