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 air conditioning is
automatically cut off to save engine
power.
Tyres
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures. Chapter 7, "Levels" section.If the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the
engine as soon as possible. Brakes
Towing increases the braking distance.
Drive at a moderate speed, change
down early and brake gradually.
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 you entrust the
fitting of this equipment to a CITROËN
dealer.
If this equipment is not fitted by a
CITROËN dealer, it is imperative that
it is fitted using the electrical pre-
equipment installed at the rear of the
vehicle and in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
In accordance with the general
instructions a reminder of which has
been given above, we draw your
attention to the risk associated with
fitting a towbar or electrical accessory
not recommended by CITROËN.
Fitting such equipment could result in
the failure of your vehicle's electronic
system. Please obtain information from
the Manufacturer before fitting this type
of equipment.
Side wind
Sensitivity to side wind is increased.
Drive smoothly and at a moderate
speed.
ABS/DSC
The ABS or DSC systems only control
the vehicle, not the trailer or caravan.
Parking sensors
The rear parking sensors system does
not function while the vehicle is towing.

markings" section.

SnOW CHAInS
In wintry conditions, snow chains
improve traction as well as the
behaviour of the vehicle when braking.The snow chains must be fitted only
to the driving wheels. They must
never be fitted to "space-saver" type
spare wheels.
T

ake account of the legislation in
force in your country on the use
of snow chains and the maximum
running speed authorised. Advice on installation

If you have to fit the chains during
a journey

, stop the vehicle on a flat
surface on the side of the road.

Apply the parking brake and
position any wheel chocks to
prevent movement of your vehicle.

few moments, without exceeding
30
mph (50 km/h).

Stop your vehicle and check that
the snow chains are correctly
tightened.It is recommended that before you
leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry surface.

Avoid driving on roads that have
been cleared of snow, to avoid
damaging your vehicle's tyres and
the road surface. If your vehicle is fitted
with alloy wheels, check that no part of
the chain or its fixings is in contact with
the wheel rim.
