Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle is higher than that of the towed vehicle.
The person at the wheel of the towed vehicle must have a valid drivinglicence.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, always use anapproved towing bar; rope and strapsare 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 service:


- vehicle broken down on a motor way or fast road,

- 4 wheel drive vehicle,

- when it is not possible to put thegearbox 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...

Practical information
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 performance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towing load must
be reduced by 10 % of the GTW 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

To w i ng a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electricall
y 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 outside
tem
perature.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
) If this message is displayed, stop your vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.


Braking

To w i ng a trailer increases the braking distance.


Tyres
)Check the tyre pressures of the towingvehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the recommended pressures.



Lighting
)Check the lighting and signalling on the
trailer.
I
f the message flashes slowly, wait for the engine to cool before topping up the level, if necessary.
If the messa
ge flashes rapidly, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay.

Fitting roof bars


The body sill finishers should not be used as a step when fitting roof bars.

Use accessories recommended byCITROËN and follow the accessorymanufacturer's fitting instructions.

Maximum authorised weight on the roof bars, for a loading height not exceeding40 cm (except bicycle carriers): 80 kg.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the speed of the vehicle to the condition of the road, to avoid damaging the roof bars and the fixings on the roof.
Please refer to national legislation tocomply with the regulations regardingthe transpor tation of objects which arelonger than the vehicle. The transverse roof bars are fitted to the lon
gitudinal bars at the 8 fixing points masked by covers.
Using a small screwdriver, remove the 8 covers on the inner faces of the longitudinal bars.
The transverse bars are fitted directl
y to the roof of the vehicle, at the 4 anchorage points masked
by covers.
Slide the covers towards the front of the vehicle to remove them.
Retain the protective covers for refitting after removal of the roof bars.

Vehicles fitted with longitudinal bars

Vehicles not fitted with longitudinal bars


For reasons of safety and to avoid damaging the roof, it is essential to use transverse bars that are
approved for your vehicle.
