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.
For more information on Weights
, refer to the 
corresponding section. 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 avoid 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 Adjusting the 
headlamp beam height , refer to the 
corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be 
deactivated automatically to avoid the 
audible signal if a genuine PEUGEOT 
towbar is used.
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.
