Practical information





Towing a trailer, ...


Towbar suitable for the attachment of a trailer
with additional lighting and signalling.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it mayalso be used for towing a trailer.
We recommend the use of genuineCITROËN towbars and their harnesses that have been tested and approved from the design stage of your vehicle, and that the fitting of the towbar is entrusted to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.If the towbar is not fitted by a CITROËNdealer, it is imperative that it is fitted in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's instructions.
Driving with a trailer places greater demands
on the towing vehicle and the driver must take
par ticular 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 exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced b
y 10 % for every 1 000 metres of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for detailsof the weights and towed loads which apply to your vehicle.

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

The GTW and towed load values indicated are valid up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned must be reduced b
y 10 % for each additional 1 000 metres of altitude.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (10 0 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the performance of the vehicle to protect the engine; if the ambient temperature is above 37 °C, limit the towed load.
