The dimensions of the 2008 are measured on an unladen vehicle. Any figure marked with an asterisk was measured with the mirrors folded in.
Your 2008 carries several visible markings that identify it.
The manufacturer's label shows:
The tyre/paint label shows:
Your car may have come with tyres with higher load and speed indices than those on the label. This does not change the inflation pressure.
It depends on the engine and model code. Braked trailer limits range from 450 kg to 1,300 kg, and unbraked limits from 450 kg to 640 kg.
The maximum authorised nose weight is 51 kg for every engine listed. This is the weight permitted on the towball.
It is engraved on the bodywork near the suspension damper mounting under the bonnet. It is also on a label you can see through the windscreen.
They are on the tyre/paint label on the centre pillar on the driver's side. The label also gives the spare tyre pressure and the paint colour code.
Before you hitch up a trailer, check the figures for your exact engine code and remember the rules for altitude, hot weather and speed. If anything is unclear, your registration document and the labels on your 2008 have the official values, and a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop can help.
