CHECKS
192






Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require
any maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the maintenance and
warranty guide for details of
the level checking interval for
this component.
















Electric parking brake

This system does not require
any routine servicing. However,
in the event of a problem,
have the system checked by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.





















Manual parking brake

















Only use products recommended
by CITROËN or products of equiva-
lent quality and specifi cation.

In order to optimise the opera-
tion of units as important as
those in the braking system,
CITROËN selects and offers
very specifi c products.
After washing the vehicle, damp-
ness, or in wintry conditions, ice
can form on the brake discs and
pads: braking effi ciency may be
reduced. Make light brake ap-
plications to dry and defrost the
brakes.
If a loss of effectiveness of this
system is noticed, the parking
brake must be checked, even
between two services.
Checking this system must be
done by a CITROËN dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.
















Brake pads

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 services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.


Brake disc wear

For information on checking
brake disc wear, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.
For more information, refer to the "Electric
parking brake - Operating faults" section.








Manual gearbox

The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no oil
change).
Refer to the maintenance and
warranty guide for the details
of the level checking interval
for this component.







Electronic gearbox

The gearbox does not require
any maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the maintenance and

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

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 fi tting of the towbar is en-
trusted to a CITROËN dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.
If the towbar is not fi tted by a
CITROËN dealer, it is impera-
tive that it is fi tted in accordance
with the vehicle manufacturer's
instructions.
The rear parking sensors will
be deactivated automatically if
a genuine CITROËN towbar is
used.

Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer or installation of a bicycle carrier,
with additional lighting and signalling.

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



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



Take 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.



To 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 cool-
ant temperature.



If the warning lamp and the
STOP
warning lamp come
on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as
soon as possible.


Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
To 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 trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.



Lighting



Check the electrical lighting and sig-
nalling on the trailer.

Refer to the "Technical data" section for
details of the weights and towed loads
which apply to your vehicle.

TECHNICAL DATA
225
*

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.
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; if the ambient
temperature is above 37 °C, limit the towed load.
