When towing
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest   items   are   as   close   as   possible   to  
t

he   axle   and   the   nose   weight   approaches  
t

he   maximum   permitted   without  
e

xceeding 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  
al

titude.
For
  more   information   on   weights   (and   the  
t

owed loads which apply to your vehicle) refer
to
  the   corresponding   section.
Side wind
F Take  into   account   the   increased   sensitivity  t
o   side   wind.
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   hadlamp   beam   height  
o

f   your   vehicle.
For
  more   information   on   adjusting   the  
h

eadlamp   beam   height,   refer   to   the  
c

orresponding
 s
ection.
The
  rear   parking   sensors   will   be  
d

eactivated   automatically   if   a   genuine  
C

ITROËN   towbar   is   used.

Front parking
sensors
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) indicates whether the obstacle
is
  in   front   or   behind. The
  system   will   be   deactivated  a
utomatically   if   a   trailer   is   being  
t

owed or a bicycle carrier is fitted on
a towbar (vehicle fitted with a towbar
installed
  in   line   with   the   manufacturer's  
r

ecommendations).In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered with
mud,
  ice   or   snow.   When   reverse   gear   is  
e

ngaged,   an   audible   signal   (long   beep)  
i

ndicates   that   the   sensors   may   be   dirty.
Certain
  sound   sources   (motorcycle,  
l

orry,   pneumatic   drill,   etc.)   may   trigger  
t

he   audible   signals   of   the   parking  
s

ensor   system.
As
 
an
 
addition   to   the   rear   parking   sensors,   the  
f

ront
 
parking   sensors   are   triggered   when   an  
o

bstacle is detected in front and the speed of
the
 
vehicle   is   still   below   6   mph   (10   km/h).
The
 
front   parking   sensors   are   interrupted   if  
t

he
 
vehicle   stops   for   more   than   three   seconds  
i

n
 
for ward   gear,   if   no   further   obstacles   are  
d

etected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds   6   mph   (10   km/h).
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of t
he   system,   when   reverse   gear   is  
e

ngaged   the   symbol   for   the   button  
c

hanges   to   alert   mode   and   the  
w

arning   lamp   flashes   for   a   few  
m

oments   then   stays   on   continuously.
A
 
message   appears,   accompanied   by   an  
a

udible
 
signal   (short   beep).

Fuel tank
Capacity of the tank:
- Pe trol:   approximately   50   litres.
-
 
D
iesel:   approximately   45   or   50   litres   (depending   on   version).
Low fuel levelRefuelling
When the low fuel level is reached,
this
  warning   lamp   in   the   instrument  
p

anel   comes   on,   accompanied   by  
a

n   audible   warning,   a   message   and  
t

he   last   bar   of   the   fuel   gauge   flashes  
i

n   red.
To
  refuel   in   complete   safety:
F

Y
ou must switch off the engine.
F
 
O
pen   the   filler   flap.
A label on the inside of the fuel filler flap
reminds
  you   of   the   type   of   fuel   to   use,  
d

epending   on   your   engine   type.
Additions
  of   fuel   must   be   of   at   least   5   litres   to  
b

e   registered   by   the   fuel   gauge.
When
 
it
 
first   comes   on,   about 5 litres of fuel
remain
 
in
 
the   tank.
Until sufficient fuel has been added, this
warning
 
lamp   appears   every   time   the   ignition  
i

s
 
switched   on,   accompanied   by   an   audible  
w

arning
 
and   a   message.   This   audible   warning  
a

nd
 
message   are   repeated   with   increasing  
f

requency
  as   the   fuel   level   drops   towards   "0 ".
Refuel
 
as
  soon   as   possible   to   avoid   running  
o

ut. Opening
  the   filler   cap   may   result   in   an   inrush   of  
a

ir.   This   is   entirely   normal   and   results   from   the  
s

ealing   of   the   fuel   system.
With Stop & Start, never refuel with the
system
  in   STOP   mode;   you   must   switch  
o

ff   the   ignition   with   the   key.
For
  more   information   on   running   out   of  
f

When not towing a trailer, remove the quickly-detachable   tow   ball   before  
d

riving.
Towing a trailer
We recommend the use of genuine C ITROËN towbars and their harnesses
that have been tested and approved
from
  the   design   stage   of   your   vehicle,  
a

nd   that   the   fitting   of   the   towbar   is  
e

ntrusted to a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified
 w

orkshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by a
CITROËN
  dealer,   it   must   still   be  
f

itted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's
 i

nstructions.
Your
 
vehicle   is   primarily   designed   for  
t

ransporting   people   and   luggage,   but   it   may  
a

lso
 
be   used   for   towing   a   trailer. Driving   with   a   trailer   places   greater  
d

emands   on   the   towing   vehicle   and   the  
d

river   must   take   particular   care.
For   more   advice   on   driving   when  
t

owing,   refer   to   the   corresponding  
s

ection.
For   more   information   on   weights   (and  
t

he towed loads which apply to your
vehicle)   refer   to   the   corresponding  
s

ection.
