For more information on the Technical
data of the vehicle and particularly on
weights and towable loads, refer to the
corresponding section.
You will then have information on your vehicle's
ability to tow a
trailer, a caravan, a boat, etc.
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
member of the CITROËN dealer
network.
These genuine towbars are compatible
with the operation of the rear parking
sensors and the reversing camera, if your
vehicle is so equipped.
If the towbar is not fitted by a
CITROËN
dealer, it must still be fitted in accordance
with the vehicle manufacturer's
instructions.Towbar with quickly

Before each use
Check that the towball is correctly locked by
verifying the following points:
-
t
he green mark on the locking wheel is in line
with the green mark on the towball,
-

t
he locking wheel is in contact with the towball,
-

t
he security lock is locked and the key
removed; the locking wheel can no longer be
operated,
-

t
he towball must not be able to move in its
carrier; test by trying to shake it with your hand.
During use
Never release the locking system with
a trailer or load carrier on the towball.
Never exceed the maximum authorised
weight for the vehicle (the Gross Vehicle
Weight – GV W), the trailer, or the sum of
the two (the Gross Train Weight – GTW).
Following use
When travelling without a trailer or load on
a towbar-mounted carrier, the towball must be
removed and the protective plug inserted in
the carrier. This measure applies particularly
where the towball might obscure visibility of the
number plate or its lighting.

Maintenance
Correct operation is only possible if the towball
and its carrier are kept clean.
Before cleaning the vehicle with a high-
pressure jet wash, the towball must be removed
and the protective plug fitted to the carrier.
Apply the label provided to a


clearly visible
area, close to the carrier or in the boot.
Go to a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop for any work on the towbar
system.

vehicle.
Roof bars can only be fitted to a
van, combi

or H2. On
a
minibus, check for the presence of roof air
conditioning units.
The carrying system must always be secured to
the fitting points provided on the vehicle's roof:
6, 8
or 10, depending on the wheelbase of the
vehicle.
Obser ve the instructions for fitting and use
provided with the carrying system.

deactivate the Stop & Start system to
avoid the risk of injury related to an
automatic change to START mode.
Inside
This operation must only be carried out with the
vehicle stationary and the driver's door open.
Outside
Do not open the bonnet in very windy
conditions.
When the engine is hot, handle the safety
catch and stay with care (risk of burns).Because of the presence of electrical
equipment under the bonnet, it is
recommended that exposure to water
(rain, washing, etc.) be limited.

Operation
This filter, fitted in the exhaust system,
accumulates particles of soot. The engine
management unit controls the automatic
periodic elimination of the soot particles
(regeneration).
The regeneration procedure is triggered
depending on the amount of particles
accumulated and the vehicle use conditions.
During this phase, you may notice some
unusual phenomena – increased idling speed,
cooling fan running, increase in smoke and
higher exhaust gas temperature – which does
not affect the operation of the vehicle or the
environment.After prolonged idling or driving at very
low speeds, you may occasionally notice
water vapour being emitted from the
exhaust when accelerating. This is of no
consequence to the running of the vehicle
or to the environment. Because of the higher exhaust gas
temperature resulting from the normal
operation of the particle filter, it is
recommended that you do not park the
vehicle over inflammable materials (grass,
dry leaves, pine needles, etc.) so as to
avoid any risk of fire.
Saturation/Regeneration
If there is risk of blockage of the
filter, this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel.
This alert tells you that the particle filter is
starting to saturate (in conditions of urban
driving of exceptionally long duration: low
speeds, traffic jams, etc.).
To regenerate the filter, it is advised to drive
as soon as possible, when traffic conditions
and the law permit, at a
speed of at least
37

mph (60 km/h), with an engine speed above
2,000

rpm for about fifteen minutes (until the
warning lamp and/or the message disappears).
If possible, avoid switching off the engine
before the end of the filter regeneration;
repeated interruptions could cause premature
deterioration of the engine oil. It is not
recommended to end regeneration of the filter
with the vehicle stationary.
Malfunction
If this alert persists, do not ignore the warning;
it indicates that a fault has occurred in the
exhaust system/particle filter assembly.
Have the whole system checked by a
CITROËN
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle
services.
If this warning lamp comes on, have
the brake pad wear checked by
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
