We recommend the use of genuine CITROËN towbars and their harnesses
that have been tested and approved
from

orkshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by a
CITROËN dealer, it must still be
fitted in accordance with the vehicle

t

ransporting   people   and   luggage,   but   it   may  
a

lso

d

emands   on   the   towing   vehicle   and   the
