Towing a trailer
ACCESSORIES
5
Good Practice
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a
steep slope in high temperatures), the
engine automatically limits its power.
In this case, the air conditioning is
automatically cut off to save engine
power. Tyres
Check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (see the "Identifi cation
markings" section of chapter 8) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressures.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 6.
If the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the
engine as soon as possible. Brakes
Towing increases the braking distance.
Drive at a moderate speed, change
down early and brake gradually.
Towbar
We recommend the use of genuine
CITROËN towbars and their
harnesses, which have been tested
and approved from the design stage of
your vehicle, and that you entrust the
fi tting of this equipment to a CITROËN
dealer.
If this equipment is not fi tted by a
CITROËN dealer, it is imperative
that it is fi tted using the electrical
pre-equipment installed at the rear of
the vehicle and in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
In accordance with the general
instructions a reminder of which has
been given above, we draw your
attention to the risk associated with
fi tting a towbar or electrical accessory
not recommended by CITROËN.
Fitting such equipment could result in
the failure of your vehicle's electronic
system. Please obtain information from
the Manufacturer before fi tting this type
of equipment.
Side wind
Sensitivity to side wind is increased.
Drive smoothly and at a moderate
speed.
ABS/DSC
The ABS or DSC systems only control
the vehicle, not the trailer or caravan.
Rear parking sensors
The parking sensors system does not
function while the vehicle is towing.

Checks
138
CHECKS
Carbon filter and passenger compartment filter Particle emission filter (Diesel)
maintenance of the particle emission
fi lter must be carried out by a
CITROËN dealer.
On acceleration after the vehicle has
been running for a prolonged period
at very low speed or at idle, you may,
in exceptional circumstances, notice
the emission of water vapour at the
exhaust. This water vapour does not
have any adverse effect on vehicle
handling or the environment.
Battery
At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style
of driving, in particular for vehicles
which are used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
check the thickness of the pads, even
between services.
Unless there is a leak on the circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.
Brake disc / drum wear
For information on checking the brake
disc / drum wear, consult a CITROËN
dealer.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too
great or there is a reduction in the
performance of the system, the parking
brake should be adjusted, even between
services.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Oil filter
Change the fi lter regularly in
accordance with the servicing
schedule.
An access fl ap allows replacement of
the fi lters.
The carbon fi lter permits continuous
and effective fi ltering of dust.
If the passenger compartment fi lter
becomes blocked, this may reduce the
performance of the air conditioning
system and generate unpleasant
odours.
We recommend the use of a combined
passenger compartment fi lter. By
means of its second special active
fi lter, it contributes to the purifi cation
of the air breathed by the occupants
and the cleanness of the passenger
compartment (reduction of allergic
symptoms, unpleasant odours and
greasy deposits).
Refer to the servicing and warranty
booklet for the replacement interval for
these components. Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the
vehicle (urban driving...), change them
twice as often if necessary.

Changing a wheel
145
QUICK HELP
7
1. PARKING THE VEHICLE
- The occupants must get out of the vehicle and wait in a safe location.
- If possible, park the vehicle on level, stable and non-slippery
ground.
- Apply the parking brake, switch off the ignition and engage fi rst or
reverse gear. - If available, place a chock under
the wheel diagonally opposite the
one to be changed.
If the vehicle is fi tted with a towbar,
it is sometimes necessary to raise
the vehicle slightly to make it easier
to remove the spare wheel from its
carrier.
On certain types of ground and/
or if considerable loads are being
transported, call a CITROËN dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.
CHANGING A WHEEL
2. TOOLS
- The tools are stowed in a storage compartment located under the left
hand front seat. If necessary, move
the seat to access the storage
compartment from the rear.
- Unscrew the nut then take out the jack and the wheelbrace.
1. Wheelbrace.
2. Jack.
3. Towing eye.
4. Chock.
The jack and the tool kit are specifi c to
your vehicle. Do not use them for other
purposes.

Snow chains
150
SNOW CHAINS
In wintry conditions, snow chains
improve traction as well as the
behaviour of the vehicle when braking. The snow chains must be fi tted
only to the driving wheels. They
must never be fi tted to "space-
saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the legislation in
force in your country on the use
of snow chains and the maximum
running speed authorised. Advice on installation
If you have to fi t the chains during
a journey, stop the vehicle on a fl at
surface on the side of the road.
Apply the parking brake and position any wheel chocks to
prevent movement of your vehicle.
Fit the chains following the instructions provided by the
manufacturer.
Move off gently and drive for a few moments, without exceeding
30 mph (50 km/h).
Stop your vehicle and check that the snow chains are correctly
tightened.
Avoid driving on roads that have
been cleared of snow, to avoid
damaging your vehicle's tyres and
the road surface. It is recommended
that before you leave, you practise
fi tting the snow chains on a level and
dry surface. If your vehicle is fi tted with
alloy wheels, check that no part of the
chain or its fi xings is in contact with the
wheel rim.
Use only the chains designed to be
fi tted to the type of wheel fi tted to your
vehicle:
For more information on snow chains,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
