Engine technical data and towed loads

Your 2008's engine characteristics are given in the vehicle's registration document and in sales brochures. The tables in the handbook only show the values available when it was published, so contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop for any missing values.

The maximum power figure is the value type-approved on a test bed, under conditions set by European legislation (Directive 1999/99/EC).

The weights and towed loads for your car are shown on the registration document, in sales brochures and on the manufacturer's plate or label. Keep these points in mind:

  • Altitude: the GTW (Gross Train Weight) and towed load values are valid up to a maximum altitude of 1,000 metres. Reduce the towed load by 10% for each additional 1,000 metres of altitude.
  • Nose weight: the maximum authorised nose weight is the weight permitted on the towball.

When you tow, follow these safety rules from the handbook:

  • Hot weather: in high exterior temperatures, the car's performance may be limited to protect the engine. When it is hotter than 37°C outside, reduce the towed weight.
  • Road holding: towing can affect road holding, even when the car is only lightly loaded.
  • Braking: braking distances are longer when you tow a trailer.
  • Speed: never go faster than 62 mph (100 km/h) when towing, and observe the local legislation in force.

Engines and towed loads - Petrol

These are the petrol engines listed in the handbook, with their fuel requirements and towing limits. Braked trailer figures are within the GTW limit, on a 10% or 12% gradient.

Dimensions (mm)

The handbook gives your 2008's dimensions in millimetres. These dimensions were measured on an unladen vehicle.

Identification markings

Your 2008 carries several visible markings that identify the car. Here is where to find each one:

  • A. VIN under the bonnet: the Vehicle Identification Number is stamped on the chassis.
  • B. VIN on the dashboard: printed on an adhesive label that you can see through the windscreen.
  • C. Manufacturer's label: affixed to the right-hand door.
  • D. Tyres/paint code label: affixed to the driver's door.

The manufacturer's label shows the following information:

  • Manufacturer's name.
  • European whole vehicle type approval number.
  • Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
  • Gross vehicle weight (GVW).
  • Gross train weight (GTW).
  • Maximum weight on the front axle.
  • Maximum weight on the rear axle.

The tyres/paint code label shows the paint colour code and this tyre information:

  • Tyre pressures, unladen and laden.
  • Tyre specification, made up of the dimensions and type as well as the load and speed indices.
  • Spare tyre inflation pressure.

Your car may have been fitted from new with tyres that have higher load and speed indices than those on the label. This does not affect the tyre pressures (on cold tyres). If you change the type of tyres, contact a PEUGEOT dealer for the tyre fits approved for your car.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. The handbook gives 0 kg for braked and unbraked trailers and for the nose weight on the electric version.

Where is the VIN on a Peugeot 2008?

The VIN is stamped on the chassis under the bonnet and printed on a label you can see through the windscreen. It also appears on the manufacturer's label on the right-hand door.

Where can I find the tyre pressures for my Peugeot 2008?

They are on the tyres/paint code label on the driver's door, which shows the pressures unladen and laden as well as the spare tyre inflation pressure.

Keep these figures in mind whenever you tow, refuel or buy new tyres for your Peugeot 2008. If a value you need is missing, a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop can give it to you.
