Peugeot 3008 2008-2015 Practical Information Towing a trailer

PRACTICAL INFORMATIONTOWING A TRAILER, A CARAVAN, ETC. Your vehicle is primarily designed for transporting people and luggage, but it may also be used for towing a trailer. Driving advice 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 cool-ant temperature. 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. 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 signalling on the trailer. The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a genuine 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. Towbar suitable for the attachment of a trailer or caravan with additional lighting and signalling. 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. Driving with a trailer subjects the towing vehicle to more signifi cant stress and the driver must take particular care. We recommend the use of genuine 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. If the trailer is not fi tted by a PEUGEOT dealer, it is imperative that it is fi tted using the vehicle's elec-trical pre-equipment, in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Refer to the "Technical Data" section for details of the weights and towed loads which apply to your vehicle.
