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
permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine performance. The
maximum towable load must be reduced by 10% per 1,000 metres of altitude.
Use
genuine towing devices and their wiring harnesses approved by PEUGEOT. We
recommend having them fitted by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.
