Practical information -> Towing device for your Peugeot 3008 2016-2023
Practical information
Important: with a motorised tailgate and
its Hands-Free Access function, if a towing
device is fitted outside the PEUGEOT dealer
network, it is essential to visit a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop to recalibrate
the detection system. Risk of malfunction of
the Hands-Free Access function.
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid functions
are automatically deactivated while an
approved towing system is in use.
For more information about driving with a
towing device fitted to a trailer and associated
with the Trailer stability assist, refer to the
corresponding section.
► Within 30 seconds, remove the charging
nozzle.
You can also programme the deferred
charging function at any time from a
smartphone via the MyPeugeot application.
For more information on Remote functions,
refer to the corresponding section.

Domestic charging (mode 2)
The end of charging is confirmed when the
green CHARGE indicator lamp on the control
unit comes on fixed and the green light guides in
the flap come on fixed.

cover over the nozzle and close the charging
flap.
Activation
► Connect the vehicle to the desired charging
equipment.
► Press this button in the flap within one
minute to activate deferred charging
(confirmed by the light guides coming on in

from the domestic socket.
Accelerated charging (mode 3)
Towing device
The end of charging is confirmed by the
accelerated charging unit (Wallbox) and when
the green light guides in the flap come on fixed.
► After disconnection, replace the nozzle on to
the charging unit and close the charging flap.
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.
Load distribution
► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to the
axle, and the nose weight approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing
engine performance. The maximum towable load
must be reduced by 10% per 1,000 metres of
altitude.
Deferred charging
Settings

over the towball, be sure to place the heaviest
bicycles as close as possible to the vehicle.
