Changing direction indicator bulbs
When refitting, close the protective cover carefully to preser ve the sealing of the headlamp.
Amber coloured bulbs, such as the direction indicators, must be replaced with bulbs of identical specifications
and colour.
Rapid flashing of the direction indicator warning lamp (right or left) indicates the failure of a bulb on that side.
Turn the bulb holder a quar ter of a turn and extract it. Pull out the bulb and change it. To refit, carry out these operations in reverse order.
Changing dipped beam headlamp bulbs
Remove the protective cover by pulling on
the tab. Disconnect the bulb connector. Spread the springs to release the bulb. Extract the bulb and change it. To refit, carry out these operations in reverse order.

Towing the vehicle
Procedure for having your vehicle towed or for towing another vehicle using a removable towing eye.
The towing eye is installed in the boot under the floor. To gain access to it: open the boot, raise the floor,
remove the polystyrene storage box, remove the towing eye from the holder.
On the front bumper, unclip the cover by pressing at the bottom. Screw the towing eye in fully. Install the towing bar. Switch on the hazard warning lamps on the towed vehicle. Place the gear lever in neutral (position Nfor an automatic gearbox).
On the rear bumper, unclip the cover by pressing at the bottom. Screw the towing eye in fully. Install the towing bar. Switch on the hazard warning lamps on the towed vehicle.
Towing your vehicle Towing another vehicle Access to the tools
Failure to obser ve this special condition could result in damage to cer tain braking components and the absence of braking assistance the next time the engine is star ted.
When towing with all four wheels on the
ground, always use a towing bar. When towing with only two wheels on the ground, always use professional
lifting equipment. When towing with the engine off, there is no longer any assistance for braking or steering.

The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a genuine
CITROËN towbar is used.
Driving advice
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 per formance. Above 1 000 metres, the maximum towing load must be reduced by 10 % 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.
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. The maximum towing load on a long slope depends on the gradient and the ambient temperature. In all cases, pay attention to the coolant temperature.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
Tyres
Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the recommended pressures.
Lighting
Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.
If the warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.

Installation of radio communication transmitters
Before installing on your vehicle any after-market radio communication transmitter with external aerial, we recommend that you contact
a CITROËN dealer. The CITROËN dealer network will give you the specification for transmitters which can be fitted (frequency, maximum power, aerial position, specific installation requirements), in line with the Vehicle Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (2004/104/EC).
The fitting of electrical equipment or accessories which are not recommended by CITROËN may result in a failure of your vehicle’s electronic system and excessive electrical consumption. Please note this specific warning. You are advised to contact a CITROËN representative to be shown the range of recommended equipment and accessories.
Depending on the country in which the vehicle is sold, it may be compulsory to have a high visibility safety jacket, warning triangle and spare bulbs available in the vehicle.
