2012 Citroen BERLINGO FIRST tow

95 PRACTICAL INFORMATION
-

Without lifting
(four wheels on the ground)
You must always use a towbar.

By lifting
(two wheels only on the ground)
It is preferable to lift the vehicle by
the wheels.

TOWING YOUR VEHICLE


From the front or the rear
Attach the towbar to the towing eye.
Never use the radiator cross-
member.
When towing another vehicle,
it must freewheel.
Place the gearbox in "neutral".
Failure to observe this instruction
may result in damage to certain brak-
ing components and the absence of
braking assistance when the engine
is started again.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
96 -
TOWING A TRAILER,CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC.
We recommend the use of original
CITROËN towbars and their har-
nesses that have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
your vehicle and that the fi tting of the
towbar is entrusted to a CITROËN
dealer.
If the towbar is not fi tted by a
CITROËN dealer, it is imperative that
it is fi tted using the electrical pre-
equipment installed at the rear of the
vehicle, in accordance with the man-
ufacturer'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 subjects the tow-
ing vehicle to more signifi cant stress
and its driver must be particularly
careful.
Air density decreases with altitude,
thus reducing engine performance.
Above 1 000 metres, the maximum
towing load must be reduced by 10 %
and so on for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.

Driving advice


Tyres:
Check the tyre pressures of
the towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pres-
sures.

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.
On the contrary, use a high gear to
lower the engine speed and reduce
your speed.
The maximum towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and
the outside temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
In certain cases of particularly ardu-
ous use (towing the maximum load on
a steep gradient in high temperatures),
switching off the air conditioning permits
the recovery of engine power and there-
fore an increase in the towing capacity.
If the warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
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 approach-
es the maximum permitted without
exceeding it.

Braking:
Towing increases the braking
distance.

Lights:
Check the electrical signalling
on the trailer.

Side wind:
Take into account the
increased sensitivity to side wind.

angle, ...


Audio equipment, hands-free kit,
speakers, CD changer, navigation, ...
Regardless of the audio and telemat-
ic equipment offered on the market,
the technical constraints linked with
the fi tting of equipment of these fami-
lies of products mean that the spe-
cial features of the equipment and
its compatibility with the capacities
of the your vehicle's standard equip-
ment must be taken into account.
Please contact a CITROËN dealer

tive of the CITROËN marque.

Range of comfort, leisure and
maintenance equipment

Front seat covers compatible with
airbags, bench, rubber mats, carpet
mats, snow chains, blind, tailgate

- ensure that the mat and its fi xings
are positioned correctly,

-
never fi t one mat on top of another.



For any work on your vehicle,
use a qualifi ed workshop that
has the technical information,
competence and equipment
required, which a CITROËN dealer
is able to provide. The CITROËN Network will inform
you of the specifi cations (frequency
band, maximum output power, aerial
position, specifi c installation condi-
tions) of the transmitters which can be
fi tted, in accordance with the Motor
Vehicle Electromagnetic Compatibility
Directive (2004/104/CE).
