Use
  only   chains   designed   to   be   fitted   the   type  
o

f
 
wheel   on   your   vehicle:
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when b
raking.
The
  snow   chains   must   be   fitted   only  
t

o   the   front   wheels.   They   must   never  
b

e   fitted   to   "space-saver"   type   spare  
w

heels.
Advice on installation
F If  you   have   to   fit   the   chains   during   a  j
ourney,   stop   the   vehicle   on   a   flat   sur face  
o

n   the   side   of   the   road.
F
 
A
pply   the   parking   brake   and   position   any  
w

heel   chocks   to   prevent   movement   of   your  
v

ehicle.
F
 
F

p

rovided   by   the   manufacturer.
F
 
M

c

hains   are   correctly   tightened.
Take
 
account
 
of
 
the
 
legislation
 
in

i

n your country on the use of snow
chains
 
and
 
the

  driving   with   snow   chains   on   roads  
t

hat   have   been   cleared   of   snow,   to  
a

void   damaging   your   vehicle's   tyres   and  
t

he   road   sur face.   If   your   vehicle   is   fitted  
w

ith   alloy   wheels,   check   that   no   part   of  
t

he   chain   or   its   fixings   is   in   contact   with  
t

he   wheel   rim.
It
 
is
 
strongly
 
recommended
 
that
 
before
 
y

ou

F

o
pen the boot,
F
 
l
ift   the   floor   and   remove   it,
F
 
r
emove   the   towing   eye   from   its   housing.
General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in your country.
E nsure   that   the   weight   of   the   towing   vehicle   is   higher   than   that   of   the   towed   vehicle.
The
  driver   must   remain   at   the   wheel   of   the   towed   vehicle   and   must   have   a   valid   driving   licence.
When
  towing   a   vehicle   with   all   four   wheels   on   the   ground,   always   use   an   approved   towing  
a

rm;   rope   and   straps   are   prohibited.
The
  towing   vehicle   must   move   off   gently.
When
  towing   a   vehicle   with   the   engine   off,   there   is   no   longer   any   power   assistance   for  
b

raking   or   steering.
In
  the   following   cases,   you   must   always   call   on   a   professional   recovery   service:
-
 
v
ehicle   broken   down   on   a   motor way   or   fast   road,
-

Driving advice
Distribution of loads
F Distribute  the   load   in   the   trailer   so   that   the h
eaviest   items   are   as   close   as   possible   to t

he   axle   and   the   nose   weight   approaches   the
 m

aximum   permitted   without   exceeding   it.
Air
  density   decreases   with   altitude,   thus  
r

educing   engine   per formance.   Above  
1 0

00 metres,   the   maximum   towed   load   must  
b

e   reduced   by   10 %   for   every   1 000   metres   of  
al

titude.
Side wind
F Take   into   account   the   increased   sensitivity  t
o   side   wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature   of   the   coolant.
As
  the   fan   is   electrically   controlled,   its   cooling  
c

apacity   is   not   dependent   on   the   engine   speed.
F
 
T
o   lower   the   engine   speed,   reduce   your  
s

peed.
The
  maximum   towed   load   on   a   long   incline  
d

epends   on   the   gradient   and   the   ambient  
t

emperature.
In
  all   cases,   keep   a   check   on   the   coolant  
t

emperature. F
 
I
f   the   warning   lamp   and   the  
S

TOP
 
warning   lamp   come   on,  
s

top   the   vehicle   and   switch   off  
t

he   engine   as   soon   as   possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o   avoid   overheating   of   the   brakes   on   a   long  
m

ountain   type   of   descent,   the   use   of   engine  
b

raking   is   recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check   the   tyre   pressures   of   the   towing  v
ehicle   and   of   the   trailer,   observing   the  
re

commended
 p
ressures.
Lighting
F Check  the   electrical   lighting   and   signalling  o
n   the   trailer.
Refer
 
to
 
the
 
"Technical
 
data"
 
section
 
for
 
details
 
o

f
 
the
 
weights
 
and
 
towed
 
loads
 
which
 
apply
 
to
 
y

our
 
vehicle.
When
 
not
 
towing
 
a
 
trailer,
 
remove
 
the
 
q

uickly-detachable
 
tow
 
ball
 
before
 
d

riving. The
  rear   parking   sensors   will   be  
d

eactivated   automatically   if   a   genuine  
C

ITROËN   towbar   is   used.
Practical information

318
Brake wear depends on the style of   driving,   particularly   in   the   case  
o

f   vehicles   used   in   town,   over   short  
d

istances.   It   may   be   necessary   to  
h

ave
 
the
 
condition   of   the   brakes   checked,   even  
b

etween
 v
ehicle
 s
ervices.
Unless
 
there   is   a   leak   in   the   circuit,   a   drop   in  
t

he
 
brake
  fluid   level   indicates   that   the   brake  
p

ads
 
are
 
worn.
Brake pads
For information on checking brake d isc   wear,   contact   a   CITROËN   dealer  
o

r   a   qualified   workshop.
Brake disc wear
Only use products recommended by CITROËN   or   products   of   equivalent  
q

uality
 an
d
 sp
ecification.
In
  order   to   optimise   the   operation   of  
u

nits   as   important   as   those   in   the  
b

raking   system,   CITROËN   selects   and  
o

ffers   very   specific   products.
After
  washing   the   vehicle,   dampness,  
o

r   in   wintry   conditions,   ice   can   form  
o

n   the   brake   discs   and   pads:   braking  
e

fficiency   may   be   reduced.   Make   light  
b

rake   applications   to   dry   and   defrost  
t

he   brakes.
Electric parking brake
For more information, refer to the "Electric parking   brake   -   Operating   faults"   section.
This
  system   does   not   require   any  
r

outine   servicing.   However,   in   the  
e

vent   of   a   problem,   have   the   system  
c

hecked   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

ualified
 w
orkshop.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any m
aintenance   (no   oil   change).
Refer
  to   the   manufacturer's   service  
s

chedule   for   the   checking   interval   for
