PRACTICAL INFORMATION





TOWING A TRAILER,
A CARAVAN, ETC.

Towbar suitable for the attachment
of a trailer or caravan 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.
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.
If the towbar is not fi tted by a
CITROËN dealer, it is impera-
tive that it is fi tted in accordance
with the vehicle manufacturer's in-
structions.
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
the driver must take particular care.


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.
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, 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 braking
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.
