Peugeot 206 1998-2009 Owner's Manual Practical Information Towing Your Vehicle

PRACTICAL INFORMATION106-Front towing eyeTOWING YOUR VEHICLENever use the radiator crossmember.Special features of the automatic gearboxWhen towing with all four wheels on the ground, the following rules must be adhered to:- gear lever in position N,- tow the vehicle at a speed less than 30 mph (50 km/h) over a distance of not more than 30 miles (50 km),- do not add oil to the gearbox.Rear towing eyeFrom the front or the rearAttach the tow bar to the towing eye.By lifting (two wheels only on the ground)It is preferable to lift the vehicle by the wheels.Without lifting (four wheels on the ground)You must always use a tow bar.VEHICLES FITTED WITH A MANUAL GEARBOX (diesel version)In the case of vehicles itted with a manual gearbox, the gear lever must be in the "neutral" position. Failure to observe this special condition may result in damage to certain brak-ing components and the absence of braking assistance the next time the engine is started.
107PRACTICAL INFORMATION-TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC.We recommend the use of original PEUGEOT towbars and their har-nesses that have been tested and approved from the design stage of your vehicle and that the itting of the towbar is entrusted to a PEUGEOT dealer.If the towbar is not itted by a PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative that it is itted using the electrical pre-equipment installed at the rear of the vehicle, in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.Your vehicle is primarily designed for transporting people and luggage but it may also be used for towing a trailer.Driving with a trailer subjects the towing vehicle to more signiicant stress and its driver must be particu-larly careful.Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine performance. Above 1 000 metres, the maximum towing load must be reduced by 10 % and so on for every 1 000 metres of altitude.Driving adviceDistribution of loads: Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to the axle and the nose weight approach-es the maximum permitted without exceeding it.Cooling: Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant.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.The maximum towing load on a long slope depends on the gradient and the outside temperature.In all cases, pay attention to the cool-ant temperature.In certain cases of particularly arduous use (towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures), switching off the air conditioning per-mits the recovery of engine power and therefore an increase in the towing ca-pacity.If the warning light comes on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as possible.Tyres: Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the recommended pres-sures.Braking: Towing increases the braking distance.Lights: Check the electrical signal-ling on the trailer.Side wind: Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.
