Towing a trailer
We recommend the use of genuine CITROËN   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  
C

ITROËN   dealer,   it   must   still   be  
f

itted   in   accordance   with   the   vehicle  
m

anufacturer's
 i
nstructions.
Your
 
vehicle
 
is
 
primarily
 
designed
 
for
 t
ransporting
 
people
 
and
 
luggage,

it
 
may
 
a

lso
 
be
 
used
 
for
 
towing
 
a
 
trailer. Driving
  with   a   trailer   places   greater  d
emands   on   the   towing   vehicle   and   the

Checking levels
Engine oil level
The check of the oil level is carried out   with   the   dipstick,   located   under  
t

he   bonnet.   For   the   position   of   the  
d

ipstick,   refer   to   the   under-bonnet  
v

iew   on   a   previous   page.Checking with dipstick
If you find that the oil level is above the A mark or below the B   mark,   do not star t the engine.
Take
 
care
 
when
 
working
 
under
 
the
 
bonnet,
 
as
 
certain
 
areas
 
of
 
the
 
engine
 
may
 
be
 
extremely
 
hot
 
(risk   of   burns)   and   the   cooling   fan   could   start   at  
a

ny
 
time
 
(even
 
with
 
the
 
ignition
 
off).
Check
 
all
 
of
 
these
 
levels
 
regularly,
 
in
 
line
 
with
 
the
 
manufacturer's
 
service
 
schedule.
 
Top
 
them
 
up
 
if
 
necessary,   unless   other wise   indicated.
If
 
a
 
level
 
drops
 
significantly,
 
have
 
the
 
corresponding
 
system
 
checked
 
by
 
a
 
CITROËN
 
dealer
 
or
 
a
 
qualified   workshop.
It
 
is
 
normal
 
to
 
top
