Towing a trailer, ...


Driving advice


Cooling

Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its coolingcapacity is not dependent on the engine speed. )To lower the engine speed, reduce 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.
Side wind
)
Take into account the increased sensitivityto side wind.

)
If the warning lamp and the
STOPwarning lamp come on,stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible. Towbar suitable for the attachment of a trailer or installation of a bic
ycle carrier, with additional lighting and signalling.

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, thusreducing engine per formance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of altitude.

We recommend the use of genuine CITROËN towbars and their harnesses that have been tested and approved from the design stage of your vehicle,and that the fitting of the towbar isentrusted to a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by a CITROËN dealer, it is imperative that it isfitted in accordance with the vehiclemanufacturer's instructions.
Driving with a trailer places greater demands
on the towing vehicle and the driver must takepar ticular care. Your vehicle is primaril
y designed for transporting people and luggage, but it may also be used for towing a trailer.
