Towing a trailer
We recommend the use of genuine CITROËN   towbars   and   their   harnesses  
t

hat   have   been   tested   and   approved  
f

rom   the   design   stage   of   your   vehicle,  
a

nd   that   the   fitting   of   the   towbar   is  
e

ntrusted   to   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

ualified
 w
orkshop.
If
  the   towbar   is   not   fitted   by   a  
C

ITROËN   dealer,   it   must   still   be  
f

itted   in   accordance   with   the   vehicle  
m

anufacturer's
 i
nstructions.
Your
 
vehicle
 
is
 
primarily
 
designed

but
 
it
 
may
 
a

lso
 
be
 
used
 
for
 
towing
 
a
 
trailer. Driving
  with   a   trailer   places   greater  d
emands   on   the   towing   vehicle   and   the
