TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, ETC.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer. Driving advice
The maximum towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and the
outside temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
Side wind

 Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.

 To lower the engine speed, reduce
your speed. Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
Tyres

 Check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended
pressures.
Lights

 Check the electrical signalling on
the trailer.

If this message is
displayed, stop your
vehicle as soon as it
is safe to do so.
If the message fl ashes
slowly, wait for the engine to cool before
topping up the level, if necessary.
If the message fl ashes rapidly, contact
a CITROËN dealer without delay.
Opening of the lower tailgate
is prohibited if a towbar is
being used.
Driving with a trailer subjects the towing
vehicle to more signifi cant stress and
its driver must be particularly careful.
We recommend the use of
original CITROËN towbars
and their harnesses that have
been tested and approved from the
design stage of your vehicle and that
the fi tting of the towbar is entrusted
to a CITROËN dealer.
If the towbar is not fi tted by a
CITROËN dealer, it is imperative
that it is fi tted using the electrical pre-
equipment located at the rear of the
vehicle and in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
Towbar suited to the attachment of
a trailer or caravan with additional
signalling and lighting.
Distribution of loads

 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. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towing
load must be reduced by 10 % of the
GTW and so on for every 1 000 metres
of altitude.
Refer to the “Technical Data” section for
details of the weights and towing loads
which apply to your vehicle.

NAVIGATION-GUIDANCE
What is the navigation system and
the GPS?
The satellite navigation system guides
the driver to the destination that he has
set in accordance with a chosen route.
Initially, it searches for the destination
required by the user, then it calculates
the route and fi nally it provides the visual
and audible guidance instructions. What precautions should be
observed in order to use the system
under good conditions?
Do not place anything on or near the
GPS aerial.
Do not use any digital communication
equipment (personal computers, etc.)
near the GPS aerial.
Do not affi x any refl ective fi lms or fi lms
containing carbon to the window.
The GPS (Global Positioning
System) consists of several
satellites distributed around
the earth. They continuously
transmit digital signals
which travel at the speed of light, on 2
different frequencies.
At any given time, the system receives
its position in relation to the satellites
detected and the time of transmission
of the signal.
This enables the telematic unit to
deduce its position and therefore that of
the vehicle.
A repositioning process using the
map database stored on the hard disc
permits repositioning of the vehicle’s
position on the road network in order
to improve the accuracy of the locating
function. What is a point of interest (POI)?
Up to 40 different icons may
be displayed (refer to the
section “Points of interest
icon”).
They are classifi ed in
5 groups and identifi ed by one colour
for each group:
- Shops, fi nance and businesses (Green),
- Vehicles and travel (Dark blue),
- Restaurants (Orange),
- Public places and emergency services (Brown),
- Entertainment and attractions (Blue).
GPS
The system’s measurements may be
inaccurate if the vehicle is:
- in a tunnel or underground car park,
- underneath a two-level motorway,
- in an area with several very high buildings,
- surrounded by closely planted trees.
Depending on the vehicle’s situation and
the reception of the GPS information, the
displayed information may disappear
from the display temporarily. A point of interest (POI) is
represented by an icon on
the map, it represents an
airport, a station, a town
hall, etc.

AUDIO-VIDEO
What is the RDS? RDS station following Traffi c information function
Your radio automatically checks
and selects the best frequency
for the radio station to which it
is tuned (if the station broadcasts on
several transmitters or frequencies).
The frequency of a radio station covers
approximately 30 miles (50 km). The
change from one frequency to another
explains the loss of reception during a
journey.
If the station to which you are listening
does not have several frequencies in
the region in which you are currently
located, you can deactivate the
automatic frequency following.
Radio, RDS, AF, REG, TP, PTY
The Radio Data System (RDS)
function on the FM waveband
permits:
- tuning to the same station while travelling through different regions
(if the transmitters of this station
cover the area through which you
are travelling),
- temporary tuning to traffi c information announcements,
- access to the displaying of the name of the station, etc.
Most FM stations use the RDS.
These stations transmit non-audible
data in addition to their programmes.
The data transmitted in this way allows
you access to various functions, mainly
displaying of the name of the station,
temporary tuning to traffi c information
announcements or automatic station
following.
The RDS allows you to continue listening
to the same station by means of the
frequency following. However, in
certain conditions, this RDS frequency
following cannot be provided throughout
the country. Radio stations do not cover
the whole country, which explains the
loss of reception of the station during
a journey. The Traffic Program (TP) function
permits automatic and tempo-
rary switching to an FM station
broadcasting traffi c information.
The radio station or the source that you
are listening to at this point is paused.
Once the traffi c information has ended,
the system switches back to the radio
station or the source that you were
listening to initially.
Regional following mode Some stations are organised in
a network.
In different regions, they broadcast
different or shared programmes depending
on the time of day.
You can follow:
- a regional station only,
- the entire network, with the possibility that you will be listening to a different
programme. Programme types
Some stations offer the option
of listening to a themed type
of programme as a priority,
selected from the list available below:
