Spread loads throughout the vehicle;
place the heaviest items in the bottom of
the boot, as close as possible to the rear
seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and
reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof
rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof
box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.


Limit the causes of excess
consumption


At the end of winter, remove snow tyres
and refit your summer tyres.

Observe the recommendations on maintenance


Check the tyre pressures regularly, when
cold, referring to the label in the door
aperture, driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:


- before a long journey,

- at each change of season,

- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres
on any trailer or caravan.

Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine
oil, oil filter, air filter...) and observe the
schedule of operations recommended by the
manufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after
the 3 rd cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any
overflow.

At the wheel of your new vehicle,
it is only after the first 1 800 miles
(3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel
consumption settle down to a consistent
average.

Towing a trailer

ACCESSORIE
STOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...

For more information about weights,
refer to the administrative documents
(V5 registration document, ...)
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. Driving advice

A towed vehicle must free wheel: gearbox
in neutral.

Towing a trailer

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.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the
engine speed and reduce your speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
Tyres:
check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (see the "Identification
markings" section of chapter 9) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressures.
We recommend the use of original
CITROËN towbars and their harnesses,
which have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle and that
the fitting of this equipment is entrusted 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.


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 automatic cutting off of the air
conditioning allows the engine power to be
recovered.
If the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 7.
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:
the system only controls the vehicle,
not the trailer.

Rear parking sensors:
the system does not
operate while the vehicle is towing.

Equipment
ROOF BARS

To install the transverse roof bars, use the
fixings provided for this purpose. Refer to the "Dimensions" section
of chapter 9 for further information
regarding the length (L1 to L4) and the
height (H1 to H3) of the vehicle. Never exceed the maximum weight of the
vehicle when loaded (GVW).
OTHER ACCESSORIES

These accessories and parts, having been
tested and approved for reliability and
safety, are all adapted to your vehicle. A
wide recommended range and original parts
are offered.
Range of professionalequipment Maximum useful load on the roof bars: 100 kg
distributed, regardless of the type of vehicle.
The roof bars can only be installed on
the H1 and H2 vehicles. Parts and Service technical information
publishes an accessories catalogue offering
various equipment and fittings, such as:
Roof bars for short, medium and long
wheelbase (load retainers for all models).
Foot board, loading roller, step.
Towbar, 7/13 pin, 7/7 pin, 13 pin towbar
harness: trailer towbar which must be fitted
by the CITROËN network.
Roof bars for the various heights, additional
roof bar.

In each country, it is imperative that the towed loads permitted by local legislation are complied with. For information regarding your
vehicle's towing possibilities and its gross train weight, contact a CITROËN dealer.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the performance of the vehicle, to protect the engine. When the ambient
temperature is higher than 37 °C, limit the weight towed.
This table indicates the gross vehicle weight (GVW) according to the dimensions and the vehicle model.

Load transfer
It is possible, if the towing vehicle has not reached the GVW, it is possible to transfer this weight to the trailer.
In all cases, do not exceed the trailer weight and GTW indicated.
Observe the towing limits of your vehicle.
