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.
