2016 Peugeot Traveller load capacity

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
.
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, 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 Weights
, refer
to the corresponding section.
th

e rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the
audible signal if a genuine P
e

ugeot
towbar is used.
If the ambient temperature is high, it
is recommended that the engine be
allowed to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after
the vehicle comes to a stop, to facilitate
its cooling. For more information on Adjusting the
headlamp beam height
, refer to the
corresponding section.

Engine characteristics
the engine characteristics (capacity,
maximum power, maximum power speed, fuel,
Co
2 emissions...) for your vehicle are given in
t
he registration document, as well as in sales
brochures.
the

se characteristics correspond to the
values type-approved on a test bed, under
conditions defined in
e
u
ropean legislation
(Directive


1999/99/
eC
).
For more information, contact a P
e

ugeot
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Weights
the kerb weight is equal to the unladen
weight + driver (75 kg).
th

e gt
W a
nd 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.
th

e weight of the braked trailer can be
increased, within the
gt
W l
imit, on condition
that the
g
V
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.
If the ambient temperature is high, it
is recommended that the engine be
allowed to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after
the vehicle comes to a stop, to facilitate
its cooling.
to

wing 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.
GTW : gross train weight, the maximum authorised weight of vehicle
plus trailer.
Weights and towed
loads
the maximum weights and towed loads for your
vehicle are given are given in the registration
document, as well as in sales brochures.
th

ese values are also present on the
manufacturer's plate or label.
