Towing a trailer
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.
Ty r e s
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle (see the "Identification markings"
section of chapter 8) and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pressures.
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 fitting of this equipment to a
CITROËN dealer.
If this equipment is not fitted by a CITROËN
dealer, it is imperative that it is fitted 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 fitting 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
fitting this type of equipment. If the coolant temperature warning
lamp comes on, stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine as soon
as possible.
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.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 6.
Brakes
Towing increases the braking distance. Drive
at a moderate speed, change down early
and brake gradually.
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.

Having your vehicle towed
QUICK HEL

Without lifting (4 wheels on the ground)
You should always use a towing bar.
From the front
- Unclip the cover by pressing at the
bottom,
- Fully screw in the removable towing eye.
TOWING THE VEHICLE
Lifting (2 wheels on the ground only)
It is preferable to lift the vehicle using
professional lifting equipment.
From the rear
- Unclip the cover using a coin or the flat
part of the towing eye,
- Fully screw in the removable towing eye.
Vehicles fitted with a manual gearbox (Diesel version)
In the case of vehicles fitted with a manual
gearbox, the gear lever must be in the
neutral position. Failure to observe this
special condition may result in damage
to certain braking components and the
absence of braking assistance the next time
the engine is started.

Activate the "RDS" function by means of theshort-cut menu to enable the system to check
whether there is a more powerful transmitter in thegeographical area.
The environment
(hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks…) block reception, including in RDS mode. This phenomenon is normal and does not indicate
a fault with the audio system.
The aerial is absent or has been dama

I
cannot fi nd some radiostations in the list of stations received.The station is not received or its name has chan

Some radio stations send other information in place of their name (the
title of the song for example).
The system interprets this in
formation as the name of the station. The name of the radio station changes.

Sound cut-outs of 1 to 2 seconds in radio mode. During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS searches for any frequencypermitting better reception of the station.
Deactivate the RDS function if the phenomenon istoo frequent and always on the same route.
With the engine off, theaudio equipment switches off after a few minutesof use.
When the engine is switched off, the audio equipment operating time depends on the battery charge.
The switch-off is normal: the audio equipment switches to economy modeand switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery.
Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery charge.
The message "the audio system is overheated" appears on the display.
In order to protect the installation if the surrounding temperature is too high,the audio equipment switches to an automatic thermal protection mode leading to a reduction of the volume or stopping of the playing of the CD.
Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to allow the system to cool.
