Changing a bulb
The headlamps have polycarbonate
lenses with a protective coating:
F
d
o not clean them using a dr y or
abrasive cloth, nor with a detergent
or solvent product,
F

u
se a sponge and soapy water or a
pH neutral product,
F

w
hen using a high pressure washer
on persistent marks, do not keep the
lance directed towards the lamps or
their edges for too long, so as not to
damage their protective coating and
seals.
Changing a bulb should only be done after
the headlamp has been switched off for
several minutes (risk of serious burns).
F

D
o not touch the bulb directly with
your fingers, use a lint-free cloth.
It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet
(UV) type bulbs, so as not to damage the
headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a new
bulb with the same type and specification. In some climate conditions (low
temperature, humidity), the presence
of mist on the internal sur face of the
headlamp and rear lamp glass is normal;
this disappears a few minutes after the
lights are switched on.Front lamps

Engines and
specifications
The engine specifications (displacement, max.
power, max. speed, energy, CO
2 emissions,
etc.) associated with your vehicle are
mentioned in the registration certificate, and in
the commercial documents.
These characteristics correspond to the values
type-approved on a test bed, under conditions
defined in European legislation (Directive
1999/99/EC).
For more information, contact a
CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Weights and towed
loads
The weights and towed loads relating to your
vehicle are stated in the registration certificate,
and in the sales documentation.
These values are also shown on the
manufacturer's nameplate or label.
For more information, contact a
CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The mass in working order is equal to the
weight when empty + driver (75 kg).
The GTW values and the towable loads
listed are valid for a maximum altitude of
1,000


additional metres.
The weight of the braked trailer can be
increased, within the GTW limit, if the GV W
of the towing vehicle is reduced by an equal
amount.
The recommended nose weight corresponds
to the weight permitted on the tow-bar
(dismantlable with or without a tool).
GV W: Gross vehicle weight, the maximum
authorised vehicle weight.
GT W: Gross train weight High ambient temperatures may result
in a reduction in the per formance of the
vehicle to protect the engine. When the
ambient temperature is above 37°C, limit
the weight towed.
Towing with a towing vehicle which is only
slightly laden may negatively affect its
handling.
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not
exceed 62 mph (100 km/h) (comply with
the legislation in force in your country).
When the ambient temperature is high,
leaving the engine running for 1 to
2
minutes after stopping the vehicle to
allow it to cool is recommended.
