PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Removing a wheel
)
Park the vehicle on stable, fi rm
ground that is not slippery. apply
the parking brake.
)
If your vehicle is equipped with
"Hydractive III+" suspension,
with the engine running at idle,
adjust the ground clearance to
its maximum height.
)
Switch off the ignition and en-
gage fi rst gear or reverse gear
depending on any slope (for a
vehicle with automatic gearbox,
select position P
).
)
If your vehicle is fi tted with
"Hydractive III+" suspension,
position the chock, whichever di-
rection the gradient may be in, in
front of the front wheel diametri-
cally opposite to the one to be
replaced.
)
Position the jack at one of the four
jacking-points provided on the un-
derbody close to the wheels, then
use the wheelbrace to unwind the
jack until it reaches the ground.
)
Remove the protector from each
bolt using tool 3
.
)
Slacken the wheel bolts.
Before positioning the jack:
)
Always adjust the vehicle’s
ground clearance to the "maxi-
mum height" position and re-
tain this adjustment for as long
as the jack is under the vehicle
(do not use the hydraulic ad-
justments),
)
Immobilise your vehicle on hor-
izontal, stable and non-slippery
ground,
)
Ensure that any passengers
have left the vehicle and are in
a safe place .
Never get underneath the vehicle if
it is supported only by the jack.
The jack and all of the tools are
specifi c to your vehicle. Do not use
them for any other applications.
Have the original wheel repaired
and refi tted as soon as possible.
)
Continue to extend the jack until
the wheel is a few centimetres
off the ground.
)
Undo the bolts, remove the wheel.

Your vehicle’s electrical sys-
tem is designed to operate
with either standard or op-
tional equipment.
Before installing electrical equip-
ment or accessories on your vehi-
cle, consult a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
CITROËN declines all responsibil-
ity for the consequences and costs
that are caused by faults or repairs
on your vehicle resulting from the
installation of accessories that
are not supplied and/or not rec-
ommended by CITROËN and not
installed in conformity with its re-
quirements, particularly when the
total consumption of additional de-
vices exceeds 10 milliamperes.
The Maxi fuses give additional pro-
tection to electrical systems. Any
work on them must be carried out
by a CITROËN dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.
After a repair, carefully refi t the
cover.
If the cover is not correctly po-
sitioned or not properly closed,
this could cause serious prob-
lems on your vehicle. For the
same reason, take care not to
spill any liquid in the fusebox.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
TOWING A TRAILER
Towbar suitable for the attachment
of a trailer or installation of a bicycle
carrier, with additional lighting and
signalling.
Your vehicle is primarily designed
for transporting people and luggage,
but it may also be used for towing a
trailer.
If the towbar is not fi tted by a
CITROËN dealer, it is imperative
that it is fi tted in accordance with
the vehicle manufacturer's instructions.
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 ex-
ceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude,
thus reducing engine performance.
Above 1 000 metres, the maximum
towed load must be reduced by 10 %
for every 1 000 metres of altitude.
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, re-
duce your speed. The maximum towed load on a long
incline depends on the gradient and
the ambient temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the
coolant temperature.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the brak-
ing distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes
on a long mountain type of descent,
the use of engine braking is recom-
mended.
Tyres
)
Check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended
pressures.
Lighting
)
Check the electrical lighting and
signalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a gen-
uine CITROËN towbar is used.
)
If the warning lamp and
the STOP
warning lamp
come on, stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
We recommend the use of genuine
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 or a qualifi ed workshop.
Driving with a trailer places great-
er demands on the towing vehicle
and the driver must take particular
care.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section
for details of the weights and towed
loads which apply to your vehicle.

TECHNICAL DATA
* The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit, on condition that the GVW of the towing vehicle
is reduced by the same amount; warning, towing with a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its
road holding.

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 each additional 1 000 metres of altitude.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 100 km/h (approx. 60 mph) (comply with the legislation in force in your
country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the performance of the vehicle in order to protect the engine; when
the ambient temperature is higher than 37 °C, limit the weight towed.
