For more information
about weights, refer to the
administrative documents
(registration document, ...) or to the
"Weights" section of chapter 8.
TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...
Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer so
that the heaviest objects are as
close as possible to the axle and
the nose weight is close to the
maximum authorised without, however,
exceeding it.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the coolant temperature. As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.
You should therefore use a high gear
to lower the engine speed and reduce
your speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant temperature.
Driving advice
A towed vehicle must free wheel:
gearbox in neutral.

"Active Fleet Data" Telematic unit
Connected directly to the heart of
the vehicle ("Full CAN" multiplexed
network), as part of a comprehensive
service, the telematic unit allows the
sending in real time of information such
as:
- distance travelled,
- distance remaining before the next service,
- warnings and faults (oil level, coolant level, oil temperature,
coolant temperature, etc...).
This enables Fleet managers
to optimise the monitoring and
management of their business
vehicles.

WEIGHTS AND TOWED LOADS (KG)
General points
The GTW and towed load values
indicated are valid up to a maximum
altitude of 1000 metres; the towed load
mentioned must be reduced by 10 %
for each additional 1000 metres.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not
exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) (comply with
the legislation in force in your country).
With load transfer, the braked trailer
weight can be increased, on condition
that the equivalent of this load is
removed from the vehicle so that the
GTW is not exceeded. Warning: towing
with a lightly loaded towing vehicle
may have an adverse effect on its road
holding. High ambient temperatures may result
in a reduction in the performance
of the vehicle in order to protect the
engine; when the ambient temperature
is higher than 37 °C, limit the towed
weight.
The kerb weight is equal to the weight
without load + driver (75 kg) + fuel tank
fi lled to 90%.
For more information, refer to your
registration certifi cate.
In each country, it is imperative that
the towed loads authorised by local
legislation are complied with. To fi nd
out your vehicle's towing capacities
and its gross train weight, consult a
CITROËN dealer.
