Airbags
AIR BAGS
The air bags have been designed to
maximise the safety of the occupants
in the event of a serious collision;
they work in conjunction with the force
limiting seat belts. In the event of a serious collision, the
electronic detectors record and analyse
the front and side impacts suffered in
t h e i m p a c t d e t e c t i o n z o n e s :

occupants of the vehicle. Immediately
a f t e r t h e i m p a c t , t h e a i r b a g s d e fl a t e
rapidly, so that they do not hinder the
visibility of the occupants nor their
possible exit from the vehicle.
- in the event of a minor or rear impact and in certain roll-over
conditions, the air bags will not
be deployed; the seat belt alone
i s s u f fi c i e n t t o p r o v i d e m a x i m u m
protection in these situations.
The seriousness of the collision
depends on the nature of the obstacle
and the speed of the vehicle at the
moment of impact.

Towing a trailer
ACCESSORIES

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. Tyres: check the tyre pressures
of the towing vehicle (see the
" I d e n t i fi c a t i o n f e a t u r e s " s e c t i o n o f
chapter 8) and of the trailer, observing
the recommended pressure. See the "Levels" section of
chapter 6. If the coolant temperature
warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the
engine as soon as possible.
Brakes
Towing increases the braking distance.
Drive at a moderate speed, change
down early and brake gradually. 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 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.
I f t h i s e q u i p m e n t i s n o t fi t t e d b y a
CITROËN dealer, it is imperative that

e q u i p m e n t i n s t a l l e d a t t h e r e a r o f t h e
vehicle and in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
In accordance with the general
instructions a reminder of which has
been given above, we draw your
a t t e n t i o n t o t h e r i s k l i n k e d w i t h fi t t i n g

t y p e o f e q u i p m e n t .
Side wind
Sensitivity to side wind is increased.
Drive smoothly and at a moderate
speed.
ABS/ESP
The ABS or ESP systems only control
the vehicle, not the trailer or caravan.
Rear parking assistance
The assistance does not function while
the vehicle is towing.

It is imperative that particle emission

CITROËN dealer.
On acceleration after the vehicle has
been running for a prolonged period
at very low speed or at idle, you may,
in exceptional circumstances, notice
the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust. This water vapour does not
have any adverse effect on vehicle
handling or the environment.
