Petrol weights and towed loads (kg)
The values for approved towed weights vary
according to the sales zone (see the tables on
the following pages).
The exact values are given in your vehicle's
registration document as well as on the
manufacturer's plate.
They are also mentioned in sales brochures.
For more details, contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop.The kerb weight is equal to the unladen
weight
+ driver (75 kg).The GTW and towed load values indicated are
valid up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres;
the towed load mentioned must be reduced
by 10 % for each additional 1 000 metres of
altitude.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed
62 mph (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation
in force in your country).
High exterior temperatures may result in a
reduction in the per formance of the vehicle to
protect the engine; if the exterior temperature is
above 37 °C, limit the towed load.
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. Please note that
towing using a lightly loaded towing
vehicle may have an adverse effect
on its road holding.
