A label on the inside of the fuel filler flap

Towing a trailer
We recommend the use of genuine
CITROËN towbars and their harnesses
that have been tested and approved
from the design stage of your vehicle,
and that the fitting of the towbar is
entrusted to a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by a
CITROËN dealer, it must still be
fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it may
also be used for towing a trailer.
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.
For more information on Driving
advice
, particularly when towing, refer
to the corresponding section.
For more information on Weights (and
the towed loads which apply to your
vehicle) refer to the corresponding
section.
You must observe the maximum trailer
weight, indicated on the registration
certificate or in the technical
specification for your vehicle. When not towing a trailer, remove the
quickly-detachable tow ball before
driving.
The lane departure warning system is
deactivated while a trailer is connected.
