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 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 motorised tailgate and
its Hands-Free Access function, 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 Access function.
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid functions
are automatically deactivated while an
approved towing system is in use.
For more information about driving with a
towing device fitted to a trailer and associated
with the Trailer stability assist, refer to the
corresponding section.
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.
If using accessories attached to the
towing device (e.g. bicycle carriers, tow
boxes):
–
Comply with the maximum authorised nose
weight.
–
Do not transport more than 3 bicycles.
When loading bicycles on to a bicycle carrier
over the towball, be sure to place the heaviest
bicycles as close as possible to the vehicle.
