General
recommendations
Obser ve the legislation in force in your country. Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle is higher than that of the towed vehicle. The driver must stay at the wheel of the towed vehicle. Driving on motor ways and fast roads is prohibited when towing. When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, always use an approved towing bar; rope and straps are prohibited. When towing a vehicle with the engine
off, there is no longer any power assistance for braking or steering.
In the following cases, you must always call on a professional recovery ser vice: - vehicle broken down on a motor way or fast road, - when it is not possible to put the gearbox into neutral, unlock the steering, or release the parking brake, - towing with only two wheels on the ground, - where there is no approved towing bar available...

269Practical information

Towing a trailer, a caravan, etc.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a trailer or caravan with additional lighting and signalling. Your vehicle is primarily designed for transpor ting people and luggage, but it may
also be used for towing a trailer.
We recommend the use of genuine CITROËN towbars and their harnesses that have been tested and approved from the design stage of your vehicle, and that the fitting of the towbar is entrusted to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. If the trailer is not fitted by a CITROËN dealer, it is imperative that it is fitted using the vehicle's electrical pre-equipment, in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Driving with a trailer places greater demands on the towing vehicle and the driver must take par ticular care.
