CHANGING A FUSE
The three fuseboxes are placed:
-
in the dashboard on the right-hand side (behind
the storage compartments, retractable),
- in the passenger compartment (battery
compartment),
- under the bonnet.
If fitted on your vehicle, a further fusebox
is added for towing, the towbar and the
connections for the coachbuilder and
platform cab conversions. It is located on the
right behind the load retaining partition.
Removing and fitting a fuse
Before changing a fuse, the cause of the
fault must be found and rectified.
Always replace a
failed
fuse with a fuse
of the same rating.
CITROËN will not accept responsibility for
the cost incurred in repairing your vehicle or
for rectifying the malfunctions resulting from
the installation of accessories not supplied
and not recommended by CITROËN and
not installed in accordance with its
instructions, in particular when the combined
consumption of all of the additional
equipment connected exceeds
10 milliamperes. The descriptions communicated are only the
fuses which can be changed by the user.
For any other operations, go to a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
For motor trade use: for complete
fuse and relay information, consult the
"Repair procedure" wiring diagrams via the
dealer network.

Vehicles fitted with a manual
gearbox (Diesel version)

neutral position. Failure to observe this
special condition may result in damage
to certain braking components and the
absence of braking assistance the next time
the engine is started.

Having your vehicle towed
General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in your
country.
Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle
is higher than that of the towed vehicle.
The driver must stay at the wheel of the
towed vehicle.
Driving on motorways and fast roads is
prohibited when towing.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground, always use an approved
towing bar; rope and straps are 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 motorway or
fast road,
- when it is not possible to put the
gearbox 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...

Weights
WEIGHTS AND TOWED LOADS (KG)
For further information, refer to your registration certificate.
In each country, it is imperative that the towed loads permitted by local legislation are complied with. To find out your vehicle's towing
capabilities and its gross train weight, contact a CITROËN dealer.
Load transfer
If the towing vehicle has not reached the GVW, it is possible to transfer this weight to the trailer.
In all cases, do not exceed the weight of the trailer and the GTW, indicated on your registration certificate.
Observe the towing capacities of your vehicle.
The weight of a braked trailer with load transfer can be increased on condition that the equivalent weight is removed from the vehicle and
the GTW is not exceeded.
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 to 700 kg, without any transfer of load.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
