Characteristics of engines
and towed loads
Engines
The engine characteristics are given in the
vehicle's registration document, as well as in
sales brochures.
Weights and towed loads
The maximum weights and towed loads for
your vehicle are given in the registration
document, as well as in sales brochures.
These values are also given on the
manufacturer's plate or label.
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.The GTW values and the towable loads
listed are valid for a maximum altitude of
1,000
metres. The towable load must be
reduced by steps of 10% for each additional
1,000

metres.
The recommended nose weight is the vertical
load on the towbar ball (removable, with or
without tools).
GT W: Gross train weight.
High exterior temperatures may result
in a reduction in the per formance of the
vehicle to protect the engine. When the
exterior temperature is higher than 37°C,
limit the towed weight.
Towing using a lightly loaded vehicle can
adversely affect roadholding.
Braking distances are increased when
towing a trailer.
When using a vehicle to tow, never exceed
a speed of 60 mph (100 km/h) (obser ve
the local legislation in force). If the exterior 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.
The maximum power corresponds to the
value type-approved on a test bed, under
conditions defined in European legislation
(Directive 1999/99/EC).
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
