PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Towing your vehicle
)
On the front bumper, unclip the
cover by pressing at the top.
)
Screw the towing eye in fully.
)
Attach the towing bar.
)
Switch on the hazard warning
lamps on the towed vehicle.
)
Place the gear lever in neutral
(position N
on the automatic
gearbox).
Towing another
vehicle
)
On the rear bumper, unclip the cover
by pressing:
- on the right (Saloon),
- at the bottom (Tourer).
)
Screw the towing eye in fully.
)
Attach the towing bar.
)
Switch on the hazard warning
lamps on the towed vehicle. Failure to observe this special con-
dition could result in damage to
certain braking components and
the absence of braking assistance
the next time the engine is started.
In the event of a fault or malfunc-
tion with the electronic gearbox
system, the vehicle may be immo-
bilised with a gear engaged. In this
case the front of the vehicle must
be lifted for towing.
When towing with all four wheels
on the ground, always use a tow-
ing bar.
When towing with only two wheels
on the ground, always use profes-
sional lifting equipment.
When towing with the engine off,
there is no longer any braking or
steering assistance.

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.

and accessories.
Depending on the legislation in
force in the country, it may be com-
pulsory to have a high visibility
safety vest, warning triangle and
spare bulbs and fuses available in
the vehicle.
Installation of radio
communication transmitters
Before installing any after-market ra-
dio communication transmitter, you
can contact a CITROËN dealer for
the specifi cation of transmitters which
can be fi tted (frequency, maximum
power, aerial position, specifi c instal-
lation requirements), in line with the
Vehicle Electromagnetic Compatibility
Directive (2004/104/EC).

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.
