Do not place hard or heavy objects on the  seat   backs   forming   a   table,   they  
could

  become   dangerous   projectiles   in  
the

  event   or   sharp   braking   or   impact.
Following
  the   various   operations:
-
 
do
  not   remove   a   head   restraint  
without stowing it; secure it inside
the vehicle,
-


ensure that the passengers can
always access the seat belts and

distribution of loads
d

istribute 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.
c

ooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the
  coolant   temperature.a s 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.

Good Practice
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use  (towing   the   maximum   load   up   a  
steep

  slope   in   high   temperatures),   the  
engine

  automatically   limits   its   power.  
In this case,

the air conditioning is
automatically
  cut   off   to   save   engine  
power

.
tyres
Check

  the   tyre   pressures   of   the   towing  
vehicle and of the trailer

, observing the
recommended
  pressures.
Chapter
  7,   "Levels"   section.
If
  the   coolant   temperature  
warning

  lamp   comes   on,   stop  
the vehicle and switch of

f the
engine
  as   soon   as   possible.Brakes
Towing
  increases   the   braking   distance.  Drive
  at   a   moderate   speed,   change  
down

  early   and   brake   gradually.
towbar
We recommend the use of genuine CITRo Ë n towbars and their
harnesses, which have been tested
and
  approved   from   the   design   stage   of  
your vehicle, and that you entrust the
fitting

  of   this   equipment   to   a   CITROËN  
dealer

.
If
  this   equipment   is   not   fitted   by   a  
CITROËN

  dealer,   it   is   imperative   that  
it

  is   fitted   using   the   electrical   pre-
equipment
  installed   at   the   rear   of   the  
vehicle and in accordance with the
manufacturer's

  instructions.
In accordance with the general
instructions
  a   reminder   of   which   has  
been given above, we draw your
attention

  to   the   risk   associated   with  
fitting

  a   towbar   or   electrical   accessory  
not

  recommended   by   CITROËN.  
Fitting

  such   equipment   could   result   in  
the failure of your vehicle's electronic
system.

  Please   obtain   information   from  
the

  Manufacturer   before   fitting   this   type  
of

  equipment.
