Peugeot Boxer 2006-2014 Owner's Manual Accessories Transport solutions (Towing, Roof bars)

116 Transport solutions TOWING A TRAILER... The type-approved towable weights are entered in your vehicle's registration certificate, as well as on the manufacturer's VIN plate. These weights are also given in sales brochures. You will then have information on your vehicle's ability to tow a trailer, a caravan, a boat... Refer to the "Technical data - Vehicle identification" section. For the maximum unbraked trailer weight and the recommended nose weight, refer to the "Technical data - Weights" section.
Fitting a towbar 1176ACCESSORIES Transport solutions Distribution of loads: 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. 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. Tyres: check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the recommended pressures. 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. These genuine towbars are compatible with the operation of the rear parking sensors and the reversing camera, if fitted to your vehicle. If this equipment is not fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer, it must be fitted in line with the manufacturer's instructions. Good practice 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, the automatic cutting off of the air conditioning allows the engine power to be recovered. If the coolant temperature warning lamp comes on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as possible. Refer to the "Checks - Levels and checks" section. Brakes: towing increases the braking distance. Drive at a moderate speed, change down early and brake gradually. Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is increased. Drive smoothly and at a moderate speed. ABS: the system only controls the vehicle, not the trailer. Rear parking sensors: the system does not operate while the vehicle is towing. Refer to the "Technical data - Identification markings" section.
118 Transport solutions ROOF CARRYING SYSTEMS Refer to the "Technical data - "Dimensions" section for more information on the length (L1 to L4) and the height (H1 to H3) of the vehicle. Maximum load on the roof, evenly distributed: 150 kg, for all versions, within the vehicle's weight limit (Gross Vehicle Weight). For reasons of safety and to avoid damaging the roof, it is essential to use a carrying system (roof bars or roof rack) that is approved for your vehicle. Roof bars can only be fitted to H1 height van, combi and minibus versions. On a minibus, check for the presence of roof air conditioning units. TOWBAR WITH QUICKLY DETACHABLE TOW BALL This tow ball can be fitted and removed quickly and easily without the use of tools. When not towing a trailer, remove the quickly-detachable tow ball before driving. Never exceed the maximum authorised weight for the vehicle plus trailer (Gross Train Weight - GTW). For information on the maximum trailer weight and the recommended nose weight, refer to the "Technical data - Weights" section. The carrying system must always be secured to the fitting points provided on the vehicle's roof: 6, 8 or 10, depending on the wheelbase of the vehicle. Observe the instructions for fitting and use provided with the carrying system. Observe in full the legal requirements related to carrying outsized loads.
