Starting And Stopping - PEUGEOT PARTNER TEPEE ELECTRIC Owners Handbook Supplement

Driving
In some cases of particularly demanding use
(when towing the maximum load on a steep
gradient in high temperatures), the engine
power is automatically limited. In such a case,
the air conditioning is automatically switched
off to increase the available engine power.
F If this warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
New vehicle
Do not pull a trailer before having driven at
least 620 miles (1,000 kilometres).
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of
engine braking is recommended.
Tyres
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling
on the trailer and the headlamp beam height
of your vehicle.
