Practical information
Recovering the vehicle
Recover y of your vehicle
2 wheel drive (2WD) versions: towing
with the wheels on the ground
)
Put the gear lever into neutral (position N
for the CVT gearbox).
)
Unlock the steering by by turning the
ignition switch to the " ON
" position (or
to " ON
" mode for vehicle fitted with the
"Keyless Entry and Starting" system).

)
Switch on the hazard warning lamps on
both vehicles.
)
Move off gently and travel slowly for a short
distance only.
General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in your
country.
Ensure 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 bar; rope and straps
are prohibited.
When towing a vehicle with the engine
off, there is no longer any power
assistance for braking or steering.
In the following cases, you must always
call on a professional recovery ser vice:
- vehicle broken down on a motor way
or fast road,
- 4 wheel drive vehicle,
- when it is not possible to put the
gearbox into neutral, unlock the
steering, or release the parking
brake,
- towing with only two wheels on the
ground,
- where there is no approved towing
bar available...
Towing with the wheels on the ground
is only possible on 2 wheel drive (2WD)
versions.
)
Fit the towing bar to the towing eye on the
chassis, located under the front bumper.

Checks
Coolant level
The coolant level should be between
the two marks. In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying out any
work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
by two turns to allow the pressure to drop.
When the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level.
Fluid specifi cation
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.
Brake fluid level
Changing the fl uid
Refer to the maintenance and warranty guide
for details of the inter val for this operation.
Fluid specifi cation
The brake fluid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and meet
the DOT3 or DOT4 standard.
The cooling fan may star t after switching
off the engine: take care with ar ticles and
clothing that might become caught by the
fan blades.
When the engine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan.

Checks
Avoid prolonged contact of used oil or
fluids with the skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to
health or indeed very corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers or onto the ground.
Take used oil to a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop (France) or to an
authorised waste disposal site.
Used products
Topping up
The reser voir must be topped up without delay
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Additive level
(1.6 HDi 110 Diesel versions
with particle emissions filter)
The additive reser voir low level is indicated by
the display of this message.
Fluid specifi cation
For optimum cleaning, this fluid must not be
topped up with or replaced with plain water.
Screenwash and headlamp
wash fluid
To check or top up the fluid, stop the
vehicle, apply the parking brake and
switch off the engine.
)
Open the bonnet and secure it with the
stay.
)
Open the filler cap for the screenwash
reservoir.
)
Check the level using the gauge, then
top-up if necessary.
)
Refit the cap on the reser voir and close the
bonnet.
In wintry conditions, the use of fluid with
an ethyl alcohol or methanol base is
recommended.

Checks
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to have
the condition of the brakes checked,
even between vehicle ser vices.
Brake pads
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Brake disc wear
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
effectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must be
checked, even between two ser vices.
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
units as important as those in the
braking system, CITROËN selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness,
or in wintry conditions, ice can form
on the brake discs and pads: braking
efficiency may be reduced. Make light
brake applications to dry and defrost
the brakes.
Checking this system must be done by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.

Petrol weights and towed loads (kg)
The values for maximum towed weights type
approved according to the sales zone (see the
tables on the following pages).
The exact values are given in your vehicle's
registration document as well as on the
manufacturer's plate.
They are also mentioned in sales brochures.
For more details, contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop.
The kerb weight is equal to the unladen
weight + driver (75 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.
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 per formance of the vehicle to
protect the engine; if the ambient temperature
is above 37 °C, limit the towed load.
The weight of the braked trailer can be
increased, within the GTW limit, if the
GV W of the towing vehicle is reduced
by an equal amount. Please note that
towing using a lightly loaded towing
vehicle may have an adverse effect
on its road holding
.
