When towing
distribution of loads
F 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 by 10
% for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
Side wind
F 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.
F
T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
F
I
f 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, the use of
engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the hadlamp beam height
of your vehicle.
For more information on adjusting the
headlamp beam height, refer to the
corresponding section.
For more information on weights (and the
towed loads which apply to your vehicle) refer
to the corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a genuine
CITROËN towbar is used.
driving
Starting using another
battery
Never try to start the engine by
connecting a battery charger.
Never use a 24 V or higher battery
b o o s t e r.
First check that the slave battery has a
nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity
at least equal to that of the discharged
battery.
The two vehicles must not be in contact
with each other.
Switch off the electrical consumers on
both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, ...).
Ensure that the jump lead cables do
not pass close to moving parts of the
engine (cooling fan, belts, ...).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal when
the engine is running.F
S
tart the engine of the vehicle with the
good battery and leave it running for a
few
m
inutes.
F O perate the starter on the broken down
vehicle and let the engine run.
I
f the engine does not start straight away,
switch off the ignition and wait a few
moments before trying again.
When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the
engine can be started using a slave battery
(external or on another vehicle) and jump lead
cables or a battery booster.
F
W
ait until the engine returns to idle then
disconnect the jump lead cables in the
reverse order.
F
R
efit the plastic cover to the (+) terminal, if
your vehicle has one.
F
A
llow the engine to run for at least
30
minutes, by driving or with the vehicle
stationary, so that the battery reaches an
adequate state of charge.
F
R
aise the plastic cover on the (+) terminal,
if your vehicle has one.
F
C
onnect the red cable to the positive
terminal (+) of the flat battery A (at the metal
elbow) then to the positive terminal
(+) of the
slave battery B or the booster.
F
C
onnect one end of the green or black
cable to the negative terminal (-) of the
slave battery B or the booster (or earth
point on the other vehicle). Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged.
F
C
onnect the other end of the green or black
cable to the earth point c on the broken
down vehicle.

Never store bottles of AdBlue® in your
vehicle. Before topping-up, ensure that the vehicle is
parked on a flat and level sur face.
In wintry conditions, ensure that the
temperature of the vehicle is above -11°C.
Otherwise the AdBlue
® may be frozen and
so cannot be poured into its tank. Park your
vehicle in a warmer area for a few hours to
allow the top-up to be carried out.
Procedure
F Press the START/STOP button to switch off the engine. F
R
aise the boot floor for access to the
AdBlue
® tank. Use an object, such as a
bag, to keep the left part up.
Recommendations on storage
AdBlue® freezes at about -11°C and
deteriorates above 25°C. It is recommended
that bottles be stored in a cool area and
protected from direct sunlight.
Under these conditions, the additive can be
kept for at least a year.
If the additive has frozen, it can be used once it
has completely thawed out.
