Towing a trailer
We recommend using genuine CITROËN
towbars and their harnesses that have
been tested and approved from the
design stage of your vehicle, and having a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
fit the towbar.
If the towbar is not fitted by a CITROËN
dealer, it must still be fitted in accordance
with the vehicle manufacturer's
instructions.Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.
Please respect the maximum authorised
towable weights indicated on the
registration certificate or in your vehicle’s
technical data.
For more information on Driving advice
,
particularly when towing, refer to the
corresponding section.
Energy economy mode
System which manages the duration of use of
certain functions to conser ve a sufficient level
of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can still use
functions such as the audio and telematics
system, windscreen wipers, dipped beam
headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc. for a
maximum combined duration of about forty
minutes.
Switching to this mode
A message appears in the instrument panel
screen indicating that the vehicle has switched
to economy mode and the active functions are
put on standby.
If a telephone call is being made at this
time, it will be maintained for around
10
minutes with the hands-free kit of your
audio system.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it may
also be used for towing a trailer.
