)Place the gear selector inneutral - position N.Failure to obser ve this special conditioncould result in damage to cer tainbraking components and the absenceof braking assistance the next time theengine is started.

When towing with the engine off, there is no longer any braking or steering assistance.

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 is
entrusted 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 advice


Distribution of loads
)
Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to
t
he axle and the nose weight approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of altitude.


Side wind
)
Take into account the increased sensitivity
to side wind.



Cooling

To w i ng a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the
fan is electrically controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.)
To lower the engine speed, reduce your speed.
)
If the warning lamp and the STOPwarning lamp come on,stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.

Braking

To w i ng 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.



Driving with a trailer places greater demands on the towing vehicle and thedriver must take par ticular care.

The maximum towed load on a long incline depends on the gradient and the ambient
tem
perature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.

Screenwash / headlamp
wash level
To check the level or top up the fluid on vehicle

vehicle and switch of the en
gine. )Before opening the bonnet, ensure that the
engine has completely stopped. )Open the screenwash reser voir filler cap.

To p p i ng up

This additive must be topped up by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop without delay.

Diesel additive level
(Diesel engine with particle
emission filter)
A low additive level is
indicated by illumination of
the ser vice warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible warning and amessage in the instrument panel screen.

Specifi cation of the fl uid
To ensure optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing, the fluid should never be topped up or
replaced by plain water.

)
Take and pinch the level gauge to block itsbreather.)
Remove the gauge completely from
the reservoir to read the level in thetransparent section.) To p u p i f n e c e s s a ry. )
Refit the filler cap to the reser voir and close the bonnet.

Particle emission filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of theparticle filter is indicated bythe temporary illumination of
this warning lamp accompanied by a message
in the multi-function screen.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit, regenerate the filter by driving at aspeed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until the warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this indicates a low additive level.


On a new vehicle, the first par ticlefilter regeneration operations may be accompanied by a "burning" smell, which is perfectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the vehicle at very low speed or at idle, you may, in exceptional circumstances,notice the emission of water vapour at the exhaust on acceleration. This does not affect the behaviour of the vehicle or the environment.
The 100% electric mode is not available during regeneration of the par ticle emissions filter.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Oil filter

Replace the oil filter each time the engine oil is changed.
Refer to the ser vicing and warrantybooklet for details of the replacement
interval for this component.
Re
fer to the ser vicing and warrantybooklet for details of the replacement
inter vals for these components.
Dependin
g on the environment (e.g. dustyatmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g. city driving), replace them twice as often if necessary. y A clogged passenger compartment filter mayhave an adverse effect on the per formance
of the air conditioning system and generate undesirable odours.

Weights and towed loads (in kg)
*

The kerb weight is equal to the unladen weight + driver (75 kg).
**
The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit, if the GV W of the towing vehicle is reduced by an equal amount; warning,
towing using a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its road holding.
To make use of the 300 kg load transfer, the driver must be alone in the vehicle with no luggage in the vehicle.
The GTW and towed load values indicated are valid up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned must be reduced b
y 10 % for each additional 1 000 metres of altitude.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (10 0 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the per formance of the vehicle to protect the engine; if the ambient temperature is above 37 °C,
limit the towed load.
