Towing a trailer
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a trailer with a dditional l ighting an d s ignalling. We
  recommend   the   use   of   genuine  
C

ITROËN   towbars   and   their   harnesses  
t

hat   have   been   tested   and   approved  
f

rom   the   design   stage   of   your   vehicle,  
a

nd   that   the   fitting   of   the   towbar   is  
e

ntrusted   to   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

ualified
 w
orkshop.
If   the   towbar   is   not   fitted   by   a   CITROËN  
d

ealer,   it   is   imperative   that   it   is  
f

itted   in   accordance   with   the   vehicle  
m

anufacturer's
 i
nstructions.
Driving   with   a   trailer   places   greater   demands  
o

n   the   towing   vehicle   and   the   driver   must   take

are.
driving advice
distribution of loads
F Distribute  the   load   in   the   trailer   so   that   the h
eaviest   items   are   as   close   as   possible   to t

he   axle   and   the   nose   weight   approaches   the
 m

aximum   permitted   without   exceeding   it.
Air
  density   decreases   with   altitude,   thus  
r

educing   engine   per formance.   Above  
1

  000   metres,   the   maximum   towed   load   must  
b

e   reduced   by   10   %   for   every   1   000   metres   of  
al

titude.
Side wind
F Take   into   account   the   increased   sensitivity  t
o   side   wind.
