Limit the causes of excess consumption
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

...).  
Use
 
a
 
roof

  box   in   preference.
Remove
  roof   bars   and   roof   racks   after   use.
At
 
the
 
end
 
of

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

serviced
 
regularly
 
(engine

...)  
and
 
observe
 
the schedule

 
of

go
 
to
 
a
 
CITROËN
 
dealer
 
or
 
a

 
qualified
 
workshop
 
without
 
delay
 
to
 
have
 
the

TOWING A TRAILER
We recommend  the  use  of  genu -
ine  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
 
en
-
trusted
 
to
 
a
 
CITROËN
 
dealer
 
or
 
a

  qualified   workshop.
If
 
the
 
towbar
 
is
 
not
 
fitted
 
by
 
a
 
CITROËN

 
dealer
,  
it
 
must
 
still
 
be

 
fitted
 
in
 
accordance
 
with
 
the
 
vehicle

 
manufacturer's
 
instruc
-
tions.
Your
 
vehicle
 
is
 
primarily
 
designed
 
for
 
transporting

 
people
 
and
 
luggage,
 
but
 
it
 
may

 
also   be   used   for   towing   a   trailer.
Driving  
with
 
a
 
trailer
 
places
 
greater
 
de
-
mands
 
on
 
the
 
towing
 
vehicle
 
and
 
the
 
driver

  must   take   particular   care.
Driving advice
Distribution of loads
F 
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,
 
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
F
 
T
ake  
into
 
account
 
the
 
increased
 
sensitivity

  to   side   wind.
Cooling
Towing
 
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.
F
 
T
o  
lower
 
the
 
engine
 
speed,
 
reduce
 
your

  speed. The
 
maximum
 
towed
 
load
 
on
 
a
 
long
 
in
-
cline  depends  on  the  gradient  and  the  ambient
  temperature.
In  all  cases,  keep  a  check  on  the  
 
coolant

  temperature.
F
 
If
 
the
 
warning

warning
 
lamp

on,

 
stop
 
the

and
 
switch

 
of
f  
the
 
engine
 
as
 
soon

  as   possible.
Braking
Towing
 
a
 
trailer
 
increases
 
the
 
braking
 
distance.
T

o  
avoid
 
overheating
 
of
 
the
 
brakes
 
on
 
a
 
long

 
mountain
 
type
 
of
 
descent,
 
the
 
use
 
of

  engine   braking   is   recommended.
Tyres

Check
 
the
 
tyre
 
pressures
 
of
 
the
 

towing

 
vehicle
 
and
 
of
 
the

observing

* The  kerb   weight   is   equal   to   the   unladen   weight   +   driver   (75   kg).
**   
The
 
weight
 
of
 
the

can
 
be
 
increased,
 
within
 
the

PETROL WEIGHTS AND TOWED LOADS ( IN KG )
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   by   10   %   for   each   additional   1   000   metres   of   altitude.
When
  towing,   the   maximum   authorised   speed   is   reduced   (comply   with   the   legislation   in   force   in   your   country).
High
 
ambient
 
temperatures
 
may
 
result
 
in

* 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
 
GVW
 
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.
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   by   10   %   for   each   additional   1   000   metres   of   altitude.
When
  towing,   the   maximum   authorised   speed   is   reduced   (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;
 
if
 
the
 
ambient
 
temperature

  is   above   37   °C,   limit   the   towed   load.
