Peugeot 207 2012-2014 Practical Information Towing a Trailer

9!iPRACTICAL INFORMATION145General 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 al-ways call on a professional recovery service: - vehicle broken down on a mo-torway or fast road, - when it is not possible to put the gearbox into neutral, unlock the steering, or release the parking brake, - towing with only two wheels on the ground, - where there is no approved towing bar available... TOWING A TRAILER Your vehicle is primarily designed for transporting people and luggage, but it may also be used for towing a trailer. Driving with a trailer places greater de-mands on the towing vehicle and the driver must take particular care. 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. Towbar suitable for the attachment of a trailer with additional lighting and sig-nalling. We recommend the use of genuine PEUGEOT towbars and their har-nesses 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 manufac-turer's instructions. Driving advice 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.
