Travelling abroad
Cer tain fuels could damage the engine of
your vehicle.
In cer tain countries, the use of a par ticular
fuel may be required (specific octane
rating, specific trade name, etc.) to ensure
correct operation of the engine.
For any additional information, contact a
dealer.
Towing device
Load distribution
F D istribute 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. The maximum
towed load must be reduced by 10% for every
1,000
metres of altitude. Use towing devices and their genuine
harnesses approved by PEUGEOT. It
is recommended that the installation
be per formed by a
PEUGEOT dealer or
a
qualified workshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by a PEUGEOT
dealer, it must still be fitted in accordance
with the vehicle manufacturer's
instructions.
Important: for versions equipped with
the motorised tailgate with Hands-Free
Tailgate Access function, if a towing
device other than a genuine PEUGEOT
one is installed, it is imperative to visit
a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop to recalibrate the detection
system: risk of Hands-Free Tailgate
Access function failure.
Certain driving assistance or manoeuvring
assistance functions are automatically
disabled if an approved towbar is used. Obser ve the maximum authorised towable
weight, indicated on your vehicle's
registration certificate, the manufacturer's
label as well as in the Technical data
section of this guide.
Complying with the maximum
authorised nose weight (ball joint)
also includes the use of accessories
(bicycle carriers, tow boxes, etc.).
Obser ve the legislation in force in the
country in which you are driving.

To avoid unwanted opening of the tailgate
when using the towing device:
-
d
eactivate the Hands-Free Tailgate
Access function in advance in your
vehicle's configuration menu,
-
o
r remove the electronic key from the
recognition zone, with the tailgate closed.

To ensure complete safety while driving
with a Towbar system
, refer to the
corresponding section.
Before each use
Check that the towball is correctly fitted,
verifying the follow points:
-
t
he green mark on the locking wheel
is in line with the green mark on the
towball,
-
t
he locking wheel is in contact with the
towball (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 not be able to move in
its carrier; test by shaking it with your
hand.
If the towball is not locked, the trailer can
detach – accident risk!
Practical information
225
Following use
When travelling without a trailer or load
on a
towbar-mounted carrier, the towball
must be removed and the protective plug
inserted in the carrier. This measure
applies particularly where the towball
might obscure visibility of the number
plate or its lighting.
Fitting the towballDuring use
Never release the locking system with
a
trailer or load carrier on the towball.
Never exceed the maximum authorised
weight for the vehicle – the Gross Train
Weight or GTW.
It is essential that the maximum
authorised load be complied with on the
towing device: if it is exceeded, this device
may detach from the vehicle, which is
a
serious accident risk.
Check that the trailer lamps work
c o r r e c t l y.
Before setting off, check the adjustment of
the headlamp beam height.

Obser ve the legislation in force in your
c o u nt r y.
Ensure that the weight of the towing
vehicle is higher than that of the towed
vehicle.
The driver must remain at the wheel of
the towed vehicle and must have a
valid
driving licence.
When towing a vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground, always use an
approved towing arm; rope and straps are
prohibited.
The towing vehicle must move off gently.
When the vehicle is towed with its engine
off, there is no longer braking and steering
assistance.
In the following cases, you must always
call on a
professional recovery ser vice:
-
v
ehicle broken down on a motor way or
fast road,
-
f
our-wheel drive vehicle,
-
w
hen it is not possible to put the
gearbox into neutral, unlock the
steering, or release the parking brake,
-
w
hen it is not possible to tow a vehicle
with an automatic gearbox, engine
running,
-
t
owing with only two wheels on the
ground,
-
w
here there is no approved towbar,
etc. available.

Engine technical data and
towed loads
Engines
The engine characteristics are given in the
vehicle's registration document, as well as in
sales brochures.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.
Weights and towed loads
The weights and towed loads relating to 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 maximum authorised nose weight
corresponds to the weight permitted on the
towbar.
GT W: Gross train weight.
When exterior temperatures are high,
the vehicle per formance may be limited
in order 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 approximately 60 mph
(100
km/h) (obser ve the local legislation in
f o r c e). 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.
