Sliding side windows
Depending on the vehicle's
equipment, the side windows of
row 2 can be opened.
Folding step
To make access and exit easier, your vehicle
may be fitted with a step which unfolds when
the sliding side door is opened.
Courtesy lamps
If fitted on your vehicle, one or two courtesy
lamps are located above the rear and side
doors.
They can be activated by:
- tilting the courtesy lamp (to the left or to the right),
- opening or closing the rear or side doors.
This lighting switches off automatically, after
a few minutes, if the doors are left open.
Reading lamps
They are located above each row of seats.
Torch
If provided in your vehicle.
Roof box
This is a storage compartment located in the
load space, above the cab roof. Its capacity
varies depending on the height of the van
roof.
Ladder type vertical partition
Behind the driver's seat, a ladder type
vertical partition protects the driver against
the risk of load movement.
Load retainer
On the floor, behind the front seats, a
horizontal partition protects the driver and
front passengers against the risk of load
movement.
Glazed separation partition
Use the control to open/close the sliding
window of the separation partition. Squeeze the two controls then slide the
window.
While driving, the window must be closed or
secured in an intermediate position.

ACCESSORIES
JUMPER-PAPIER_EN_CHAP06_ACCESSOIRES_ED01-2014
Distribution of loads: distribute the load in
the trailer so that the heaviest objects are as
close as possible to the axle and the nose
weight is close to the maximum authorised
without, however, exceeding it.
Driving advice
A towed vehicle must free wheel: gearbox in
neutral.
Cooling: towing a trailer on a slope
increases the coolant temperature.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on the
engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the
engine speed and reduce your speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature. Tyres: check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing
the recommended pressures.
Fitting a towbar
We recommend the use of genuine
CITROËN towbars and their harnesses,
which have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle and that
the fitting of this equipment is entrusted to a
CITROËN dealer.
These genuine towbars are compatible with
the operation of the rear parking sensors
and the reversing camera, if fitted to your
vehicle.
If this equipment is not fitted by a CITROËN
dealer, it must be fitted in line with the
manufacturer's instructions.
Good practice
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a steep
slope in high temperatures), the engine
automatically limits its power. In this
case, the automatic cutting off of the air
conditioning allows the engine power to be
recovered.
If the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
Refer to the "Checks - Levels and
checks" section.
Brakes: towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake gradually. Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed.
ABS: the system only controls the vehicle,
not the trailer.
Rear parking sensors: the system does not
operate while the vehicle is towing.
Refer to the "Technical data -
Identification markings" section.
