Technical Data; Engines; Weights - PEUGEOT 308 Handbook

Engines

The values (engine capacity, net maximum
power, power to weight ratio, engine speed,
CO emissions, ...) are given in your vehicle's
2
registration document.
They can also be obtained from PEUGEOT
dealers and are included in the descriptive
table of technical characteristics for the vehicle
in sales brochures.
For more information, contact a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Weights and towed loads
The weights are given in the registration
certificate for your vehicle and on the
manufacturer's VIN plate.
The information can also be obtained from
PEUGEOT dealers and is included in the
descriptive table of technical characteristics for
the vehicle in sales brochures.
The maximum type-approved trailer weight
varies according to market zone.
In each country, you must comply with local
legislation on towed loads.
For information on your vehicle's towing
capabilities and its gross train weight,
contact a PEUGEOT dealer.

Technical data

Load transfer
If the towing vehicle has not reached the GVW,
it is possible to transfer this weight to the trailer.
The gross train weight and maximum
trailer weight are valid up to an altitude of
1 000 metres; the maximum trailer weight
specified must be reduced by 10 % for every
additional 1 000 metres of altitude.
In all cases, do not exceed the weight of
the trailer and the GTW, indicated on your
registration certificate.
Observe the towing capacities of your vehicle.
The weight of a braked trailer with load
transfer can be increased on condition that the
equivalent weight is removed from the vehicle
and the GTW is not exceeded.
High ambient temperatures may result in a
reduction in the performance of the vehicle to
protect the engine. If the ambient temperature
is above 37 °C, limit the towed load to 700 kg,
without any transfer of load.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed
60 mph (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation
in force in your country).
The recommended nose weight (weight on the
towbar ball) is 75 kg.
