Safety
177
Manoeuvre cautiously, at low
speed
The dimensions of your vehicle differ from
those of a light vehicle, in width, in height, as
well as in length, and some obstacles will be
more difficult to notice.
Manoeuvre slowly.
Before turning, check that there are no
obstacles at mid-height along the sides.
Before reversing, check that there are no
obstacles, particularly at high level behind the
vehicle.
Be aware of the external dimensions, if ladders
are fitted.
Load the vehicle correctly
With a load carried, the vehicle must remain
within the maximum authorised weight, the
Gross Vehicle Weight.
To avoid upsetting the balance of the vehicle,
the load should be centred and the heaviest
part placed on the floor in front of the rear
wheels.
It is inadvisable to place heavy loads on a roof
rack.
Loading also implies adherence to the
maximum load of the roof bar anchor points.
Adhere to the maximum permissible weight,
according to PEUGEOT dealer specifications.
Loads must be securely lashed down.
A load that is not properly secured inside the
vehicle may affect vehicle handling and create
a risk of accident.
Drive the vehicle in a prudent
and efficient way
Take corners gently.
Anticipate the need to brake as the stopping
distance is increased, particularly on wet or icy
roads.
Be aware of the effect of side winds on the
vehicle.
Effective eco-driving saves fuel; accelerate
progressively, anticipate the need to slow down
and adapt your speed to suit the situation.
Indicate changes of direction well in advance
so that you are seen by other road users.
Take care
The tyres must be inflated to at least the
pressures indicated on the label, even over-
inflated by 0.2 to 0.3 bar for long journeys.
If your vehicle is fitted with a drop-side back,
the height and width of the load must remain
within the overall dimensions of the vehicle.
In case of towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.
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. The maximum
towed load must be reduced by 10% for every
1,000
metres of altitude.
Please respect the maximum towable
weights.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to wind.

Towing a trailer
We recommend the use of genuine
PEUGEOT towbars and their harnesses
that have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle, and that
the fitting of the towbar is entrusted to 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.
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.Please respect the maximum authorised
towable weights, indicated on the
registration certificate or in your vehicle’s
technical data.
For more information on Driving advice
,
particularly when towing, refer to the
corresponding section.
Energy economy mode
System which manages the duration of use of
certain functions to conser ve a sufficient level
of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can still use
functions such as the audio and telematics
system, windscreen wipers, dipped beam
headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc. for a
maximum combined duration of about forty
minutes.
Switching to this mode
A message appears in the instrument panel
screen indicating that the vehicle has switched
to economy mode and the active functions are
put on standby.
If a telephone call is being made at this
time, it will be maintained for around
10
minutes with the hands-free kit of your
audio system.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it may
also be used for towing a trailer.
Practical information

As a safety measure and to avoid
damaging the roof, it is essential to use
the transverse bars approved for your
vehicle.

Characteristics of the
engines 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 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 around 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.
