Load distribution
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

Use
genuine towing devices and their wiring harnesses approved by PEUGEOT. We
recommend having them fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
