Towing Device With Quickly Detachable Towball - PEUGEOT 2008 Handbook

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.
Complying with the maximum authorised
nose weight (towball weight) also includes
the use of accessories (bicycle carriers,
tow boxes, etc.).
Observe the legislation in force in the
country where you are driving.
Electric motor
Electric vehicles must never be equipped
with towing devices.
It is therefore not possible to tow a trailer or
caravan.
