Towing a trailer
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.
Brakes: towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake
gradually. P l e a s e c o n t a c t a C I T R O Ë N d e a l e r fi r s t
for further information .
Automatic adjustment
For vehicles with Xenon bulbs, and if
the change in load makes it necessary,
this system automatically corrects the
height of the beam after approximately
2 minutes. The driver is then assured
of having optimum lighting and not
causing a nuisance to other road
users.
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, cutting off the air conditioning
allows the engine power to be
recovered, and therefore the towing
s p e e d t o b e s i g n i fi c a n t l y i n c r e a s e d
(approximately 12 mph [20 km/h]
more). Sequential control of the
gearbox may also become unavailable.
Lighting
Bicycle carrier
R e f e r t o t h e " I d e n t i fi c a t i o n
features" section of chapter 8. Refer to the "Steering wheel
controls" section of chapter 3.
When using a trailer connection,
you must add a fuse. Refer to
the "Changing a fuse" section of
chapter 7.
If the coolant temperature warning light
comes on, stop the vehicle and switch
off the engine as soon as possible.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures of
the towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pressure.
Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed.
Towbar
We recommend the use of original
CITROËN towbars, which have been
tested for endurance from the design
stage of your vehicle.
T o w i n g e q u i p m e n t m u s t b e fi t t e d i n
accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions, with particular attention to
the towing capacities of your vehicle,
the load towed, the nose weight and
t h e e l e c t r i c a l c o n n e c t i o n . A s t h i s fi t t i n g
should be carried out by a professional,
we recommend that you entrust the
fi t t i n g o f t h i s e q u i p m e n t t o a C I T R O Ë N
dealer.
In accordance with the general
instructions referred to above, we draw
your attention to the risk connected
w i t h fi t t i n g a t o w b a r o r o t h e r e l e c t r i c a l
accessory which is not recommended
by the CITROËN network. Fitting such
equipment could result in a failure of
your vehicle’s electronic system. Manual adjustment
Adjust your headlamps so as not to
dazzle other road users. Check the
electrical signalling of the trailer.
