towed loads
Engines
The engine characteristics are given in the
vehicle's registration document, as well as in
sales brochures.
Only the values available at the time of
publication are presented in the tables.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to obtain missing values.
The maximum power corresponds to the value type-approved on a test bed, under
conditions defined by 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
the vehicle are indicated on the registration
document, as well as in sales brochures.
These values are also indicated 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 performance may be limited in
order to protect the engine. When the exterior
temperature is higher than 37°C, reduce the
towed weight.
Towing even with a lightly loaded vehicle can adversely affect its road holding.
Braking distances are increased when towing
a trailer.
When using a vehicle to tow, never exceed
a speed of 62 mph (100
km/h) (observe the
local legislation in force).

vehicle" to allow the establishment of the
radio network connection.
Irrespective of a valid connected service
subscription, remote product security or
product safety related device management
and software and firmware updates will
be performed when the processing is
necessary for the compliance with a legal
obligation to which the Manufacturer is
subject (e.g. applicable product liability law,
e-call regulation) or when the processing
is necessary in order to protect the vital
interests of the respective vehicle users and
passengers.
The establishment of a secure radio network
connection and the related remote updates
are not affected by privacy settings and will
be performed in principal after an initiation
by the vehicle user following a respective
notification.
The system is able to notify receipt of an update
as soon as it is connected to an exterior
Wi-Fi
network or a cellular network.
Large updates are downloaded only via the Wi-Fi
network.
The availability of an update is notified on the
screen at the end of the journey with an option
of immediate installation or postponement of
installation.
The installation time is variable and can take
several minutes with a maximum of about 30 minutes. A notification will give an estimate of the
duration and a description of the update.
Update information is available through the
“Settings” application.
Press the "Settings" application.
In the list, select the "Updates” tab.
This button allows you to change the authorisation for automatic downloading
of updates via an external Wi-Fi network.
For safety reasons and because it
requires sustained attention by the driver,
the installation must be carried out with the
ignition on without starting the engine.
The installation cannot be carried out in the
following cases:
–

engine running.
–


emergency call in progress.
–


insufficient battery level.
–


when charging for electric vehicles.
If an update has failed or has expired, contact a
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The use of this service is not charged by the Contractor.
On the other hand, the use of the WI-FI and/
or cellular networks of your smartphone can
generate additional fees if your data plan is
exceeded.
These possible costs are reflected in the bill
of your telephone operator.

has never been connected to the system or
previously deleted from the system).
A portable device already connected to the system will be able to reconnect
automatically when the vehicle is started once
the user profile has been selected.
Automatic reconnection is put on hold as
soon as the "My Devices" menu is opened.
This is to allow the system to make its
Bluetooth® visible for the connection of a new
device.
The system is disconnected when the driver’s
door is opened and the ignition is switched
off.
Automatic reconnection
The system allows automatic reconnection of
devices already connected and detected when a
user profile is selected.
