188Practical informationaxle, and the nose weight approaches the maximum permitted without exceeding it.Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine performance. The maximum towable load must be reduced by 10% per 1,000metres of altitude.Use genuine towing devices and wiring harnesses approved by PEUGEOT. We recommend having them fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.If not fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer, they must still be fitted in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's instructions.Certain driving or manoeuvring aid functions are automatically deactivated while an approved towing system is in use.For more information about driving with a towing device fitted to a trailer and associated with the Trailer stability assist, refer to the corresponding section.Comply with the maximum authorised towable weight, as indicated on your vehicle's registration certificate, on the manufacturer's label and in the Technical data section of this guide.If using accessories attached to the towing device (e.g.bicycle carriers, tow boxes):–Comply with the maximum authorised nose weight.–Do not transport more than 4 conventional bicycles or 2 electric bicycles.When loading bicycles onto a bicycle carrier on a towball, be sure to place the heaviest bicycles as close as possible to the vehicle.Observe the legislation in force in the country where you are driving.Electric motorAn electric vehicle may be fitted with a towing device.It is therefore possible to tow a trailer or caravan.Contact a PEUGEOT dealer or qualified workshop for more information and to obtain a suitable towing device.Overload indicatorThe overload indicator is a driving aid and informs you that the maximum authorised weight has been exceeded; this may be either the gross vehicle weight (GVW) or the maximum authorised weight on either axle (front and rear) (GAWR).The indicator does not relieve the user from their responsibility.Even if you correctly measure the weight of the vehicle's load, any factor that may vary this weight (driver/additional passengers seated or taking on additional fuel) after the measurement may put the vehicle into the overload condition.The load includes the weight of the items stored in the loading area (including any fittings such as shelves), but also the weight of all persons on board the vehicle, the amount of fuel (depending on version) and various equipment fitted on the vehicle.For optimal performance, the vehicle must be parked and loaded on level ground (avoid the following conditions: parking on a slope or straddling a pavement).Attaching a trailer to your vehicle may affect the operation of the system.
