After disconnection, remove the protective
cover from the nozzle and close the charging
flap.
►


Disconnect the control unit's charging cable

Towing device
Load distribution
► 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 towable load
must be reduced by 10% per 1,000
metres of
altitude.
Use genuine towing devices and their
wiring harnesses approved by
PEUGEOT. We recommend having them
fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If not fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer, they must
still be fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Important: with a hands-free tailgate, if a
towing device is fitted outside the PEUGEOT
dealer network, it is essential to visit a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop
to recalibrate the detection system. Risk of
malfunction of the hands-free function!
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid functions
are automatically deactivated while an
approved towing system is in use.
Comply with the maximum authorised
towable weight, as indicated on your
vehicle's registration certificate, on the
manufacturer's label and in the Technical
data section of this guide.
Complying with the maximum authorised
nose weight (towball weight) also includes
the use of accessories (bicycle carriers,
tow boxes, etc.).
Observe the legislation in force in the
country where you are driving.
Vehicle equipped with motorised
tailgate with hands-free function
To avoid unintentionally opening the tailgate
while operating the towing device:
– Deactivate this function in advance in your
vehicle's configuration menu.
– Or remove the electronic key from the
recognition zone, with the tailgate closed.
Towing device with retractable ball joint
When this towing device is not in use, it is folded
away underneath the rear bumper.
No tools are required to install or stow it.
Before any operation, the vehicle must
be stationary with the parking brake
applied.
The area close to the exhaust pipe may reach
a high temperature: risk of burns!
Vehicle equipped with motorised
tailgate with hands-free function
To avoid unintentional opening of the tailgate,
follow the recommendations on the Towing
device by referring to the corresponding
section.
Unlocking handle
The towball is locked in either the storage

Practical information
► Raise the electrical socket cover and connect
the plug for the trailer or carrying device.
►

Attach the trailer
’s safety cable to the ring in
the towball elbow.
Storage position
When the towing system is not in use, it
is recommended to fold the towball away.
In the event of a rear-end collision, damage
to the vehicle could be worse with the towball
in place.
Towball unlocked and socket disconnected:


► Grasp the towball and rotate it until it locks
into place, in the horizontal position.
Contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified
workshop for any work on the towing system.
Roof bars
As a safety measure and to avoid damaging the roof, it is essential to use
the transverse bars approved for the vehicle.
You must see a PEUGEOT dealer to obtain
these roof bars and their specific fixings.
Observe the instructions on fitting and use
contained in the guide supplied with the roof
bars.
Fitting directly to the roof
(Hatchback)


At the front

At the rear
The transverse bars must only be attached to
the four anchor points located on the roof frame.
These points are hidden by the door seals; lift up
the seal to access the anchor point.
The roof bar fixings include a lug to be fitted in
the pin of each fixing point.
Fitting on longitudinal bars
(SW)


The transverse bars must be fixed at the
engraved markings on the longitudinal bars.
Maximum load distributed over the
transverse roof bars, for a loading height
not exceeding 40 cm (except bicycle carrier):
80 kg.
As this value may change, please verify the
maximum load quoted in the guide supplied
with the roof bars.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the speed
of the vehicle to the profile of the road to
avoid damaging the roof bars and the fixings
on the vehicle.
Be sure to refer to national legislation in order
to comply with the regulations for transporting
objects that are longer than the vehicle.

All operations on the battery must be carried
out in a well ventilated area and away from
naked flames and sources of sparks, to avoid
any risk of explosion or fire.
Wash your hands afterwards.
Access to the battery
The battery is located under the bonnet.

For access to the (+) terminal:
► Release the bonnet by pulling the internal
release lever , then the external safety catch.

started using a backup battery (either external or
from another vehicle) and jump leads or using a
battery booster.
Never start the engine by connecting a
battery charger.
Never use a 24
V or higher battery booster.

Technical data
9Engine 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
the vehicle are indicated on the registration
document, as well as in sales brochures.
These values are also indicated on the
manufacturer's plate or label.
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The GTW (Gross Train Weight) 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
towball.
When exterior temperatures are high, the
vehicle performance may be limited in
order to protect the engine. When the exterior
temperature is higher than 37°C, reduce the
towed weight.
Towing even with a lightly loaded vehicle can adversely affect its road holding.
Braking distances are increased when towing
a trailer.
When using a vehicle to tow, never exceed
a speed of 62 mph (100
km/h) (observe the
local legislation in force).
