Technical Data; Engine Technical Data And Towed Loads - PEUGEOT 2008 Handbook

Engine technical data and
towed loads
Engines
The engine characteristics are given on the
vehicle's registration document, as well as in
sales brochures.
The maximum power corresponds to the
value type-approved on a test bed, under
conditions defined in European legislation
(Directive 1999/99/EC).
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Weights and towed loads
The weights and towed loads relating to
your vehicle are indicated on the registration
document, as well as in sales brochures.
These values are also indicated on the
manufacturer's plate or label.
For more information, contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The GTW values and the towed loads listed are
valid for a maximum altitude of 1,000 metres.
The towed load must be reduced by steps of
10% for each additional 1,000 metres.
The maximum authorised nose weight
corresponds to the weight permitted on the
towball.
GTW: Gross train weight.
When exterior temperatures are high,
the vehicle performance may be limited
in order to protect the engine. When the
exterior temperature is higher than 37°C,
limit the towed weight.
Towing using a lightly loaded vehicle can
adversely affect roadholding.
Braking distances are increased when
towing a trailer.
When using a vehicle to tow, never
exceed a speed of approximately 60 mph
(100 km/h) (observe the local legislation
in force).

Technical data

If the exterior temperature is high, it is
recommended that the engine be allowed
to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the vehicle
comes to a stop, to facilitate its cooling.
