General points relating to child seats

Although one of CITROËN main criteria when designing your vehicle, the safety of your children also depends on you.
CITROËN recommends
that children should travel on the rear seatsof your vehicle: -"rearward-facing"
up to the age of 3,-"forward-facing"
over the age of 3.

For maximum safety, please obser ve the
following recommendations:
- in accordance with European regulations,all children under the age of 12 or less
than one and a half metres tall must
trave
l in approved child seats suited to
their weight , on seats fitted with a seat
belt or ISOFIX mountings * ,
- statistically, the safest seats in your
vehicle for carrying children are the rear seats,-a child weighing less than 9 kg must
travel in the "rearwards-facing" position both in the front and in the rear.
*

The rules for carrying children are specific to each country. Refer to the legislation in force
in
your country.

)open the boot, )raise the floor,)remove the polystyrene storage box,)remove the towing eye from the holder.

Access to the tools
General recommendations
Obser ve 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 towingbar; 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 service: - 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 releasethe parking brake,- towing with only two wheels on the ground, - where there is no approved towing bar available...

Practical information








Towing a trailer


Towbar suitable for the attachment of a trailer
with additional lighting and signalling.
We recommend the use of genuineCITROËN 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 entrusted to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.If the towbar is not fitted by a CITROËNdealer, it is imperative that it is fitted in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's instructions.
Driving with a trailer places greater demands
on the towing vehicle and the driver must take par ticular 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 per formance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced b
y 10 % for every 1 000 metres of altitude.

Side wind
)
Take into account the increased sensitivity
to side wind.
Your vehicle is primaril
y designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it mayalso be used for towing a trailer. R
efer to the "Technical Data" section for detailsof the weights and towed loads which apply to your vehicle.
