For more information about
weights and towed loads, refer to
chapter  9,   "Weights"   section.
TOWING A TRAILER , A CARA VAN ...
Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer so
that
  the   heaviest   objects   are   as  
close as possible to the axle and
the nose weight is close to the
maximum authorised without, however

,
exceeding
  it.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the
  coolant   temperature. As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the
  engine   speed.
You should therefore use a high gear
to lower the engine speed and reduce
your
  speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant
  temperature.
Driving advice
A towed   vehicle   must   free   wheel:  gearbox
  in   neutral.

ENGINE CHARACTERISTICS
The engine characteristics (capacity,
maximum power, maximum power
speed, fuel, CO
2 emissions...) for your vehicle are given in the registration
certificate.
These characteristics correspond
to the values type-approved
on a test bed, under conditions
defined
 
in
 
European   legislation  
(Directive 1999/99/EC).
For more information, refer to the
manufacturer's website or sales
brochure

 
for
 
the
  model.   Contact  
a

 
CITROËN
 
dealer   or   a   qualified  
workshop.
WEIGHTS AND TOWED LOADS
These values, expressed in kg, can be found on the manufacturer's VIN plate
or
  label.
The maximum weights and towed
loads for your vehicle can be found on
the
  vehicle's   registration   certificate.
The
  kerb   weight   is   equal   to   the   weight  
without

  load   +   driver   (75   kg)   +   fuel   tank  
filled

  to   90%.
The GTW and towed load values
indicated are valid up to a maximum
altitude
  of   1000   metres.  
The
  value   of  
the towed load mentioned must be
reduced by 10 % for each additional
1000

  metres.
With
  load   transfer,   the   braked   trailer  
weight can be increased, on condition
that the equivalent of this load is
removed from the vehicle so that the
GTW

  is   not   exceeded. High ambient temperatures
may result in a reduction in the
performance of the vehicle in
order
  to   protect   the   engine.   When   the  
ambient temperature is higher than
37 °C,

  limit   the   towed   weight.
Towing with a lightly loaded
vehicle can adversely affect road
holding.
Towing
  a   trailer   increases   braking  
distances.
When towing, the maximum permitted
speed is reduced (comply with the
legislation

  in   force   in   the   country).
The recommended nose weight is
the downward force on the towball
(removable
  with   or   without   tools).
GVW: gross vehicle weight, the
maximum
  authorised   weight.
GTW: gross train weight, the maximum
weight
  for   vehicle   plus   trailer.
The location of the manufacturer's
plate is given in chapter 9,
"Identification
  markings"   section.
In each country, it is imperative that
the maximum towed loads authorised
by local legislation are complied
with.
 
T
o   find   out   your   vehicle's   towing  
capacities and its gross train weight,
consult

  a   CITROËN   dealer.
