Towing the vehicle
Procedure for having your vehicle towed or for towing another vehicle using a removable towing eye.
The towing eye is installed in the jack box
placed in the spare wheel.
For access to it:
F open the boot,
F raise the floor,
F remove the towing eye from the jack box.
Access to the tools
General recommendations
Observe 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 towing
arm; rope and straps are prohibited.
The towing vehicle must move off gently.
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,
- four-wheel drive vehicle,
- when it is not possible to put the gearbox into neutral, unlock the steering, or release
the parking brake,
- towing with only two wheels on the ground,
- where there is no approved towing arm available...
Practical information

F On the front bumper, unclip the cover by
levering at the bottom with the flat end of
the towing eye.
F Screw the towing eye in fully.
F Attach a towing arm.
F Switch on the hazard warning lamps on
both vehicles.
Towing your vehicle
Failure to observe this recommendation
could result in damage to certain
braking components and the absence
of braking assistance the next time the
engine is started.
In the event of a problem or malfunction
with the automatic gearbox, the vehicle
may be immobilised with a gear
engaged. In this case the front of the
vehicle must be lifted for towing. F
On the rear bumper, unclip the cover:
● by pressing at the bottom,
● then by levering at the top using the flat
end of the towing eye.
F Screw the towing eye in fully.
F Attach a towing arm.
F Switch on the hazard warning lamps on
both vehicles.
Towing another vehicle
F Place the gear lever in neutral (position N
with an automatic gearbox).

Particle filter system
(Diesel)
Complementary to the catalytic converter,
this filter makes an active contribution to the
preservation of air quality by trapping unburnt
pollutant particles. Black exhaust fumes are
thus no longer emitted.
After prolonged idling or driving at very low
speeds, you may occasionally notice water
vapour being emitted from the exhaust when
accelerating. This is of no consequence to the
running of the vehicle or to the environment. If there is risk of blockage, a message
appears in the instrument panel screen,
accompanied by an audible signal and
illumination of the service warning lamp.
This alert tells you that the particle filter
is approaching saturation (in conditions
of urban driving of exceptionally long
duration: low speeds, traffic jams etc.)
To regenerate the filter, it is advised to
drive as soon as possible, when traffic
conditions permit, at a speed of 40 mph
(around 60 km/h) or more for at least
five minutes (until the alert message
disappears).
If this alert persists, contact a CITR
oËn
dealer or a qualified workshop.

each additional 1 000 metres of altitude.
The maximum authorised speed is reduced when towing (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the per formance of the vehicle in order to protect the engine; when the ambient temperature is
higher than 37 °C, limit the weight towed. * The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit, on condition that the GV W of the towing vehicle is reduced by the same
amount; warning, towing with a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its road holding.
