Towing a trailer

TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, ETC...

Driving advice

A towed vehicle must free wheel: gearbox in

neutral.

Cooling: towing a trailer on a slope

increases the coolant temperature.

As the fan is electrically controlled, its

cooling capacity is not dependent on the

engine speed.

On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the

engine speed and reduce your speed.

In all cases, pay attention to the coolant

temperature.

Towing a trailer

In certain cases of particularly arduous

use (towing the maximum load up a steep

slope in high temperatures), the engine

automatically limits its power. In this case,

automatic cutting off of the air conditioning

allows the engine power to be saved.

Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is

increased. Drive smoothly and at a

moderate speed.

Towbar

We recommend the use of genuine

PeugeOt towbars and their harnesses,

which have been tested and approved from

the design stage of your vehicle, and that

the fitting of this equipment is entrusted to a

PeugeOt dealer or a qualified workshop.

If this equipment is not fitted by a PeugeOt

dealer, it is essential that it is fitted using

the electrical pre-equipment located at

the rear of the vehicle and following the

manufacturer's instructions.

the operation of the rear parking sensors is

deactivated automatically when the trailer

cable connector is inserted in the towbar

socket.

When the trailer cable is removed, the rear

parking sensors are re-activated.

ABS: the system only controls the vehicle,

not the trailer.

Rear parking sensors: the sensors will be

deactivated automatically when an genuine

PeugeOt towbar is used.

If the coolant temperature

warning lamp comes on, stop the

vehicle and switch off the engine

as soon as possible.

Refer to the "technology on board -

Parking sensors" section.

Distribution of loads

ChecksSee the "levels" section of

chapter 7.

Distribute the load in the trailer so that the

heaviest objects are as close as possible

to the axle and the nose weight is close to

the maximum authorised without, however,

exceeding it. the air density decreases with

altitude, so reducing the performance of the

engine. the maximum towed load must be

reduced by 10 % for each 1 000 metres of

altitude.

Tyres: check the tyre pressures on the

towing vehicle and the trailer, observing the

recommended pressures.

Refer to the "technical data -

Identification markings" section.

For information on the maximum

weights and towed loads applicable to

your vehicle, refer to the "technical data -

Weights" section.

Brakes: towing increases the braking

distance. Drive at a moderate speed,

change down early and brake gradually.

Equipment

the fitting of electrical equipment or

accessories not listed by PeugeOt

may result in the failure of your vehicle's

electronic system or high consumption.

Please note this specific warning. You

are advised to contact a representative

recommended equipment and accessories.
