General points relating to child seats
Although one of CITROËN's main criteria when designing your vehicle, the safety of your childrenalso depends on you.
CITROËN recommends
that children shouldtravel in the rear seats
of your vehicle:-"rearwards-facing"up to the age of 2, -
"forwards-facing"over the age of 2. For maximum safet
y, please obser ve the
following recommendations:
- in accordance with European regulations,all children under the age of 12 or less
than one and a half metres tall must
trave
l in approved child seats suited to
their weight , on seats fitted with a seat
belt or ISOFIX mountings * ,
- statistically, the safest seats in your
vehicle for carrying children are the rear seats,-a child weighing less than 9 kg must
travel in the "rearwards-facing" position both in the front and in the rear.
*

The rules for carrying children are specific to each country. Refer to the current legislation
in
your country.

Locations for child seats secured using the seat belt

Fitting roof bars
For safety reasons and to avoid damaging the roof, it is essential to use the transverse barsapproved for your vehicle.
When
fitting roof bars, use only the four fixing points located in the roof frame. The points are
masked by the vehicle doors when closed.
Remove the protective covers, levering them
off with a screwdriver. Take care not to scratch
the paint.
The roof bar fixin
gs include a stud to be fitted
to the hole at each fixing point.
Observe the fitting instructions and theconditions of use in the guide supplied with
the bars.
Keep the protective covers safe so that theycan be refitted after removing the roof bars.


Maximum authorised weight on the roof rack, for a loading height not exceeding40 cm (with the exception of bicycle
carriers): 55kg. As this value is subject to change, check the maximum load figure given inthe guide provide d with the roof bars.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt thespeed of the vehicle to the profile of theroad to avoid damaging the roof bars and the fixings on the vehicle.
Be sure to refer to national legislation in order to comply with the regulations for transporting objects which are longer than the vehicle.

Practical information





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,)secure it by hooking its cord on the hook on
the rear parcel shelf suppor t,
)remove the towing eye from the holder.

Access to the tools
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 towedvehicle.The driver must stay at the wheel of thetowed vehicle. Driving on motorways 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 callon a professional recovery service:


- 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 releasethe parking brake,

- towing with only two wheels on the ground,

- where there is no approved towing bar available...

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 theheaviest 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 towed load must
be reduced b
y 10 % for every 1 000 metres of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for details
of the weights and towed 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 towed load on a long inclinedepends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.

Braking

To w i ng a trailer increases the braking distance.
To a v o i d o v e r h e a t i ng of the brakes on a long
mountain type of descent, the use of enginebraking is recommended.


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
t
he engine as soon as possible.
