Peugeot 207 2009-2011 Practical Information Towing

9iiPRACTICAL INFORMATION156TOWING THE VEHICLE Procedure for having your vehicle towed or for towing another vehicle using a re-movable towing eye. Access to the tools Towing your vehicle � On the front bumper, pull on the cover to unclip it. � Screw the towing eye in fully. � Install the towing bar. � Switch on the hazard warning lamps on the towed vehicle. The towing eye is stowed in the boot under the fl oor. To gain access to it: � open the boot, � raise the fl oor, � secure it by hooking its cord on the hook on the rear parcel shelf sup-port, � remove the towing eye from the holder. � Place the gear lever in neutral (position N on an automatic gearbox). Failure to comply with this special requirement may result in damage to certain braking components and the absence of braking assis-tance the next time the engine is started. General recommendations Observe the legislation in force in your country. Ensure that the weight of the tow-ing vehicle is higher than that of the towed vehicle. The driver must stay at the wheel of the towed vehicle. Driving on motorways and fast roads is prohibited when towing. When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, always use an approved towing bar; rope and straps are prohibited. When towing a vehicle with the engine off, there is no longer any power assistance for braking or steering. In the following cases, you must always call on a professional re-covery service: - vehicle broken down on a mo-torway or fast road, - when it is not possible to put the gearbox into neutral, un-lock the steering, or release the parking brake, - towing with only two wheels on the ground, - where there is no approved towing bar available...
9iiPRACTICAL INFORMATION157� On the rear bumper, unclip the cover by pressing at the bottom. � Screw the towing eye in fully. � Install the towing bar. � Switch on the hazard warning lamps on the towed vehicle. Towing another vehicle * The bicycle carrier cannot be attached to your vehicle's tailgate. Towbar suitable only for the attachment of a bicycle carrier * .TOWING A TRAILER,ACARAVAN, ETC. Your vehicle is primarily designed for transporting people and luggage, but it may also be used for towing a trailer. Towbar suitable for the attachment of a trailer or caravan with additional lighting and signalling. We recommend the use of genu-ine PEUGEOT towbars and their harnesses that have been tested and approved from the design stage of your vehicle, and that the fi tting of the towbar is entrusted to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualifi ed workshop . If the towbar is not fi tted by a PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative that it is fi tted in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's instructions. . The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a gen-uine PEUGEOT towbar is used. We recommend that you do not drive up onto high kerbs (risk of damaging your vehicle).
9iPRACTICAL INFORMATION158 Driving advice Distribution 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 approaches the maximum permitted without exceeding it. Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine performance. Above 1 000 metres, the maximum towed load must be reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of altitude. Refer to the "Technical Data" section for details of the weights and towed loads which apply to your vehicle. Side wind � Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind. 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. � To lower the engine speed, reduce your speed. Driving with a trailer places greater de-mands on the towing vehicle and the driver must take particular care. The maximum towed load on a long in-cline depends on the gradient and the ambient temperature. In all cases, keep a check on the coolant temperature. Braking Towing a trailer increases the braking distance. Tyres � Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the recommended pressures. Lighting � Check the electrical lighting and sig-nalling on the trailer. The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a gen-uine PEUGEOT towbar is used. � If the warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as possible.
