When towing
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
m
aximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing
engine per formance. Above
1 0
00 metres, the maximum towed load must
b
e reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity t
o side wind.
For more information on Weights
, refer
to the corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be
d
eactivated automatically to avoid the
audible
signal if a genuine CITROËN
t
owbar is used.
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 the
S
TOP
warning lamp come on,
s
top the vehicle and switch off
the
engine as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of
e
ngine braking 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 and the headlamp beam
height
of your vehicle.
For more information on Adjusting the
headlamp beam height , refer to the
corresponding
s
ection.
