The units for the speed limits (mph or
km/h) depend on the country you are
driving in.
It should be taken into account so that you
obser ve the speed limit.
For the system to operate correctly when
you change country, the units for speed in
the instrument panel must be those for the
country you are driving in.
Speed limit for vehicles whose gross vehicle
weight or gross train weight is less than
3.5


tonnes
56 mph (90 km/h) (for example)
Speed limit in snow
Example: If the exterior temperature is below 3°C:
19 mph (30 km/h) (for example)
with a "snowflake" symbol
Speed limit at cer tain times
Example: 19 mph (30 km/h) (for example)
with a "clock" symbol
The automatic reading of road signs is
a driving aid system and does not always
display speed limits correctly.
The speed limit signs present on the road
always take priority in comparison with the
display by the system.
The system is designed to detect signs
that conform to the Vienna Convention on
road signs. Specific speed limits, such as those for
heavy goods vehicles, are not displayed.
The display of the speed limit in the
instrument panel is updated as you pass
a
speed limit sign intended for cars (light
vehicles).

Obser ve the maximum authorised towable
weight, indicated on your vehicle's
registration certificate, the manufacturer's
label as well as in the Technical data
section of this guide.
Complying with the maximum
authorised nose weight (towball)
also includes the use of accessories
(bicycle carriers, tow boxes, etc.).
Obser ve the legislation in force in the
country in which you are driving.
Vehicle equipped with motorised tailgate
with " Hands-Free Tailgate Access "
function
To avoid unwanted opening of the tailgate
when using the towing device:
-

d
eactivate the "Hands-Free Tailgate
Access" function in advance in your
vehicle's configuration menu,
-

o
r remove the electronic key from the
recognition zone, with the tailgate closed.
Towing device
Load distribution
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. The maximum
towed load must be reduced by 10% for every
1,000
metres of altitude. Use towing devices and their genuine
harnesses approved by CITROËN. It
is recommended that the installation
be per formed by a
CITROËN dealer or
a

qualified workshop.
If the towing device is not fitted by
a CITROËN dealer, it must still be
fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Important: for versions equipped with
the motorised tailgate with Hands-Free
Tailgate Access function, if a
towing
device other than a
genuine CITROËN
one is installed, it is essential to visit
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to recalibrate the detection
system: risk of "Hands-Free Tailgate
Access" function failure.
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid
functions are automatically disabled if an
approved towing system is used.

Locked position (the green marks are
opposite each other); the wheel is in
contact with the towball (no gap).
B. Unlocked position (red mark opposite
the green mark); the wheel is no longer
in contact with the towball (gap of around
5 m m).Before each use
Check that the towball is correctly fitted,
verifying the follow points:
-

t
he green mark on the wheel is in line
with the green mark on the towball,

Engine technical data and
towed loads
Engines
The engine characteristics are given in the
vehicle's registration document, as well as in
sales brochures.The maximum power corresponds to the
value type-approved on a
test bed, under
conditions defined in European legislation
(Directive 1999/99/EC).
For more information, contact a
CITROËN
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Weights and towed loads
The weights and towed loads relating to your
vehicle are given in the registration document,
as well as in sales brochures.
These values are also given on the
manufacturer's plate or label.
For more information, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a
qualified workshop. The GTW (Gross Train Weight) and towed load
values indicated are valid up to a
maximum
altitude of 1,000 metres. The towed load value
must be reduced by 10% for each additional
1,000 metres of altitude.
The maximum authorised nose weight
corresponds to the weight permitted on the
towball.
When exterior temperatures are high,
the vehicle per formance may be limited
in order to protect the engine. When the
exterior temperature is higher than 37°C,
limit the towed weight.
Towing using a lightly loaded vehicle can
adversely affect roadholding.
Braking distances are increased when
towing a trailer.
When using a
vehicle to tow, never exceed
a
speed of 62 mph (100 km/h) (obser ve
the local legislation in force).
If the exterior temperature is high, it is
recommended that the engine be allowed
to idle for 1
to 2 minutes after the vehicle
comes to a
stop, to facilitate its cooling.

This label is affixed to the driver's door
aperture.
It bears the following information about the
tyres:
-

t

he tyre pressures, unladen and laden,
-

t

he tyre specification, made up of the
dimensions and type as well as the load and
speed indices,
