witch   on   the   ignition. If
  after   around   5   to   7   minutes   the  
p

ressure   is   not   attained,   this   indicates  
t

hat   the   tyre   is   not   repairable;   contact  
a

  CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified  
w

orkshop   for   assistance.
Take   care,   the   sealant   product   is  
h

armful   if   swallowed   and   causes  i

Tyre under-inflation
detection
After repair of the tyre, the warning lamp   will   remain   on   until   the   system   is  
r

einitialised.

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  
t

he   maximum   permitted   without  
e

xceeding it.
Air
  density   decreases   with   altitude,   thus  
r

educing   engine   per formance.   Above  
1 0

00 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.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature   of   the   coolant.
As
  the   fan   is   electrically   controlled,   its   cooling  
c

apacity   is   not   dependent   on   the   engine   speed.
F
 
T
o   lower   the   engine   speed,   reduce   your  
s

peed.
The
  maximum   towed   load   on   a   long   incline  
d

epends   on   the   gradient   and   the   ambient  
t

emperature.
In
  all   cases,   keep   a   check   on   the   coolant  
t

emperature. F
 
I
f   the   warning   lamp   and  
t

he STOP
 
warning   lamp   come  
o

n,   stop   the   vehicle   and   switch  
o

ff   the   engine   as   soon   as  
p

ossible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o   avoid   overheating   of   the   brakes   on   a   long  
m

ountain   type   of   descent,   the   use   of   engine  
b

raking   is   recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check   the   tyre   pressures   of   the   towing  v
ehicle   and   of   the   trailer,   observing   the  
re

commended
 p
ressures.
Lighting
F Check  the   electrical   lighting   and   signalling  o
n   the   trailer.
Refer
 
to
 
the
 
"Technical
 
data"
 
section

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

his   number   is   engraved   on   the   bodywork  
n

ear   the   passenger   compartment   filter. The
  tyre   pressures   must   be   checked  
w

hen   the   tyres   are   cold,   at   least   once  a
  month.
Low   tyre   pressures   introduces   the   risk  
o

f   a   burst   tyre   and   also   increase   fuel  
c

onsumption.
B.
V

ehicle identification number on the
dashboard.
 T

his   number   is   indicated   on   a   self-adhesive
 l

abel   which   is   visible   through   the   windscreen.C. M
anufacturer's label.  T
he   VIN   is   indicated   on   a   self-destroying

 T

his   label   is   affixed   to   the   driver's   side  
c

entre   pillar.It
  bears   the   following   information:
-  
t
he   tyre   pressures,   for   unladen   and   laden  
c

onditions,
-  
t
he   tyre   sizes,
-  
t
he   spare   tyre   inflation   pressure,
