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 towbar is not fitted by a
CITROËN dealer, it must still be
fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it may
also be used for towing a trailer. Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.
For more information on Driving
advice, particularly when towing, refer
to the corresponding section. For more information on Weights
(and
the towed loads which apply to your
vehicle) refer to the corresponding
section.
You must observe the maximum trailer
weight, indicated on the registration
certificate or in the technical
specification for your vehicle.

Engines
Engine characteristics
The engine characteristics (capacity, maximum
power, maximum engine speed, fuel, CO
2
emissions, etc.) for your vehicle are given in
the registration document, as well as in sales
brochures.
These characteristics correspond to the
values type-approved on a test bed, under
conditions defined in European legislation
(Directive
1

999/99/EC).
For more information, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Weights
Weights and towed loads
The maximum weights and towed loads for your
vehicle are given are given in the registration
document, as well as in sales brochures.
These values are also present on the
manufacturer's plate or label.
For more information, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The kerb weight is equal to the unladen
weight
+ driver (75 kg).
The GTW and towed load values indicated
apply up to a maximum altitude of
1
000 metres; the towed load mentioned
must be reduced by 10 % for every additional
1
000 metres.
The weight of the braked trailer can be
increased, within the GTW limit, on condition
that the GV W of the towing vehicle is reduced
by the same amount.
The recommended nose weight is the vertical
load on the towbar ball (removable with or
without tools).
GV W:

g
ross vehicle weight, the maximum
authorised vehicle weight.
GT W:

g
ross train weight, the maximum
authorised weight of vehicle plus trailer. High exterior temperatures may result
in a reduction in the per formance of
the vehicle to protect the engine; when
the exterior temperature is higher than
37
°C, limit the towed weight.
If the exterior temperature is high, it
is recommended that the engine be
allowed to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after
the vehicle comes to a stop, to facilitate
its cooling. Towing with a lightly loaded vehicle can
adversely affect roadholding.
Braking distances are increased when
towing a trailer.
Never exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) when
towing (comply with the legislation in
force in your country).
