Towing a trailer
TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...
For more information about weights,
refer to the administrative documents
(V5 registration document, ...)
Distribution of loads: distribute the load in
the trailer so that the heaviest objects are as
close as possible to the axle and the nose
weight is close to the maximum authorised
without, however, exceeding it. Driving advice
A towed vehicle must free wheel: gearbox in
neutral.

ACCESSORIES
Towing a trailer

Cooling: towing a trailer on a slope
increases the coolant temperature.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on the
engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the
engine speed and reduce your speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (see the "Identification
features" section of chapter 9) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressure.
Towbar
We recommend the use of original
CITROËN towbars and their harnesses,
which have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle and that
the fitting of this equipment is entrusted to a
CITROËN dealer.
If this equipment is not fitted by a
CITROËN dealer, it is imperative that it is
fitted using the electrical pre-equipment
installed at the rear of the vehicle and
in accordance with the manufacturer ’s
instructions.
Good practice
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a steep
slope in high temperatures), the engine
automatically limits its power. In this
case, the automatic cutting off of the air
conditioning allows the engine power to be
recovered.
If the coolant temperature
warning light comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 7.
Brakes: towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake gradually.

Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed.

ABS: the system only controls the vehicle,
not the trailer.

Rear parking assistance: the assistance
does not function while the vehicle is towing.

To install the transverse roof bars, use the
fixings provided for this purpose. Refer to the "Dimensions" section
of chapter 9 for further information
regarding the length (L1 to L4) and the
height (H1 to H3) of the vehicle.
Never exceed the maximum weight of the
vehicle when loaded (GVW).
Maximum useful load on the roof bars: 100 kg
distributed, regardless of the type of vehicle.
The roof bars can only be installed on the
H1 and H2 vehicles.
