Driving
Do not exceed the maximum towable
weights.
At altitude: reduce the maximum load by
10% per 1,000 metres of altitude; the lower
air density at high altitudes decreases engine
performance.
New vehicle: do not tow a trailer until the
vehicle has driven at least 620 miles
(1,000 kilometres).
If the outside temperature is high, let the
engine idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the
vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.
Before setting off
Nose weight
► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to the
axle and the nose weight (at the point where it
joins your vehicle) approaches the maximum
permitted without exceeding it.
Tyres
► Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer , observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
► Check the electrical signalling on the trailer
and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.
If a genuine PEUGEOT towing device is
used, the rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the audible
signal.
When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill causes the coolant
temperature to increase. The maximum towable
load depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature. The fan’s cooling capacity does not
increase with engine speed.
►
Reduce speed and lower the engine speed to
limit the amount of heating produced.
►
Pay constant attention to the coolant
temperature.
If this warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine as soon as possible.
Brakes
Using the engine brake is recommended to limit
the overheating of the brakes. Braking distances
are increased when towing a trailer.
Side wind
Bear in mind that the vehicle will be more
susceptible to wind when towing.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The keys contain a code, which must be
recognised by the vehicle before starting is
possible.
If the system malfunctions, indicated by the
display of a message, the engine will not start.

RDS
The external environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, car parks,
underground, etc.) may block reception,
including in RDS
tracking mode. This is a
normal effect of the way in which radio waves
are transmitted and does not indicate any
failure of the audio system.
RDS, if activated, allows you to continue
listening to the same station by
automatically retuning to alternative
frequencies. However, in certain conditions,
RDS station tracking may not be possible
nationwide, as radio stations do not always
cover the entire country. This can explain the
loss of reception of a station during a journey.
Procedure
Press this button several times to access
the RDS mode (AF - TA - PTY).
Press these buttons to activate/deactivate
the RDS mode (AF - TA - PTY).
AF: When the alternative frequency function
is activated, the system selects the best RDS
frequency (region code) of the station being
listened to. However, in certain conditions,
following this station is not guaranteed over the
whole country, because radio stations do not
cover 100% of the area. When the reception
is weak, the frequency switches to a regional
station.
PTY: the PTY function selects a type of
programme that radio stations broadcast. All this
information is transmitted via the RDS signal on
some radios.
