must be replaced.
After use, do not discard the cartridge
into the environment, take it to an
authorised waste disposal site or a
CITROËN dealer.
Do not forget to obtain a new sealant
cartridge, available from CITROËN
dealers or from a qualified workshop.

Driving advice
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 on a long
mountain type of descent, 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.
Refer to the "Technical data" section for details
of the weights and towed loads which apply to
your vehicle.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a genuine
CITROËN towbar is used.

Identification markings
A. Vehicle identification number (VIN) under the bonnet.
T

his number is engraved on the bodywork
near the passenger compartment filter. The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres are cold, at least once
a month.
Low tyre pressures introduces the risk
of a burst tyre and also increase fuel
consumption.
B.
V

ehicle identification number on the
dashboard.
T

his number is indicated on a self-
adhesive label which is visible through the
windscreen. C. M
anufacturer's label. T
he VIN is indicated on a self-destroying
label affixed to the lower right hand centre
pillar.
D.
T

yre/paint label.
T

his label is affixed to the driver's side
centre pillar. It bears the following information:
-

t
he tyre pressures, for unladen and laden
conditions,
-
t
he tyre sizes,
-
t
he spare tyre inflation pressure,
-
t
he paint colour code.
