TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, ETC.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer. Driving advice
The maximum towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and the
outside temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
Side wind

 Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.

 To lower the engine speed, reduce
your speed. Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
Tyres

 Check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended
pressures.
Lights

 Check the electrical signalling on
the trailer.

If this message is
displayed, stop your
vehicle as soon as it
is safe to do so.
If the message fl ashes
slowly, wait for the engine to cool before
topping up the level, if necessary.
If the message fl ashes rapidly, contact
a CITROËN dealer without delay.
Opening of the lower tailgate
is prohibited if a towbar is
being used.
Driving with a trailer subjects the towing
vehicle to more signifi cant stress and
its driver must be particularly careful.
We recommend the use of
original CITROËN towbars
and their harnesses that have
been tested and approved from the
design stage of your vehicle and that
the fi tting of the towbar is entrusted
to a CITROËN dealer.
If the towbar is not fi tted by a
CITROËN dealer, it is imperative
that it is fi tted using the electrical pre-
equipment located at the rear of the
vehicle and in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Towbar suited to the attachment of
a trailer or caravan with additional
signalling and lighting.
Distribution of loads

 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. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towing
load must be reduced by 10 % of the
GTW and so on for every 1 000 metres
of altitude.
Refer to the “Technical Data” section for
details of the weights and towing loads
which apply to your vehicle.
