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.

R
efer to the "Technical data" section for detailsof the weights and towed loads which apply toyour vehicle.

Fitting roof bars
To fit longitudinal and/or transverse roof bars, visit your CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Maximum authorised weight on the roof rack: 60 kg. If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the speed of the vehicle to the profile of the road to avoid
damaging the roof bars and the fixings on the roof. Be sure to refer to national legislation in order to comply with the regulations for transporting objects which are longer than the vehicle.


Braking

Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a longmountain type of descent, the use of engine
braking is recommended.
Tyres
)Check the tyre pressures of the towingvehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the recommended pressures.



Lighting
)Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.



The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a genuine
CITROËN towbar is used.
