Practical information

Before each use
Check that the towball is correctly fitted by verifying the following points:
- t he towball is correctly locked in place (position A ),
-

t
he security key lock is on and the key removed; the locking wheel can no longer be
operated,
-

t
he towball must no longer move at all in its carrier; try to shake it by hand.
during use
Never unlock the device when a trailer or load carrier is fitted to the towball.
Never exceed the maximum authorised weight for the vehicle plus trailer (Gross Train
Weight - GTW).
After use
For journeys made without a trailer or load carrier, the trailer harness socket must be folded
away, the towball removed and the blanking plug inserted in the carrier. This measure
applies particularly if the towball could hinder visibility of the number plate or lighting.
Fitting the towball
Remove the protective plug from the carrier
and check the condition of the fixing system.
If necessary, clean the carrier with a brush or
clean cloth.
Take the towball from the storage bag.
Remove the protective cover from the ball and
the protective cap from the locking wheel.
Stow the plug, cover and cap in the storage
bag.
Check that the towball is unlocked (position B ).
If not, insert the key in the lock and turn the key
anti-clockwise to unlock the mechanism.

301
If the key cannot be turned or removed,
this means that the towball is not fitted
correctly; start the procedure again.
If one of the locking conditions is not
met, start the procedure again.
In all cases, if the marking remains
red, do not use the towbar and contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Take the towball in both hands; insert the end
of the towball into the carrier by lifting it, then,
to ensure that it has correctly locked in place,
pull firmly down on the ball end of the towball.
The locking wheel automatically turns a quarter
of a turn anti-clockwise, making a perceptible
click; take care to keep your hands clear.
Check that the towball has correctly locked in
place (position A
).
Turn the key clockwise to lock the towball fixing
mechanism.
Always remove the key and keep it in a safe
place.
Practical information

303
Be ready for the weight of the towball
(around 3.5 kg). Risk of injury!
Grasp the towball firmly with one hand; with
the other hand, press and turn the locking
wheel
clockwise as far as it will go.
Extract the towball downward. Refit the protective cover for the ball and the
protective cover for the locking wheel.
Stow the towball in its bag.
Refit the protective blanking plug to the carrier.
Maintenance
Correct operation is only possible if the towball
and its carrier remain clean.
Before cleaning the vehicle with a high pressure
jet wash, the towbar harness socket carrier must
be folded away, the towball removed and the
blanking plug inserted in the carrier.
For any work on the towbar, got to a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
