Engines and 
specifications
The engine specifications (displacement, max. 
power, max. speed, energy, CO
2 emissions, 
etc.) associated with your vehicle are 
mentioned in the registration certificate, and in 
the commercial documents.
These characteristics correspond to the values 
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.
Weights and towed 
loads
The weights and towed loads relating to your 
vehicle are stated in the registration certificate, 
and in the sales documentation.
These values are also shown on the 
manufacturer's nameplate or label.
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The mass in working order is equal to the 
weight when empty + driver (75 kg).
The GTW values and the towable loads listed 
are valid for a maximum altitude of 1,000 
additional metres.
The weight of the braked trailer can be 
increased, within the GTW limit, if the GV W 
of the towing vehicle is reduced by an equal 
amount.
The recommended nose weight corresponds 
to the weight permitted on the tow-bar 
(dismantlable with or without a tool).
GV W:  gross vehicle weight, the maximum 
authorised vehicle weight.
GT W:  Gross train weight High ambient temperatures may result 
in a reduction in the per formance of the 
vehicle to protect the engine. When the 
ambient temperature is above 37°C, limit 
the weight towed.
Towing with a towing vehicle which is only 
slightly laden may negatively affect its 
handling.
Towing a trailer increases the braking 
distance.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not 
exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) (comply with 
the legislation in force in your country).
When the ambient temperature is high, 
leaving the engine running for 1 to 2 minutes 
after stopping the vehicle to allow it to cool is 
recommended.
