Air intake flow

The incoming air follows various paths
depending on the controls selected by the
driver:


- direct arrival in the passenger compartment (air intake),

- passage through a heating circuit (heating),

- passage through a cooling circuit (air conditioning).


Control panel

The controls of this system are grouped
together on control panel A on the centre console. 1.Windscreen demisting-defrosting vents.2.

Practical information
Driving advice
Distribution of loads
)Distribute the load in the trailer so that theheaviest 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 towed
load must be reduced by 10 % for every
1 000 metres of altitude.
Side wind
)Take into account the increased sensitivity
to side wind.

Cooling

To w i ng a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electricall
y controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
)
To lower the engine speed, reduce your speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the
gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
)If the warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.



Braking

To w i ng a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a longmountain type of descent, the use of engine braking is recommended.

Tyres
)Check the tyre pressures of the towingvehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the recommended pressures.



Lighting
)Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.


The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a genuine CITROËN towbar is used.
R
efer to the "Technical Data" section for details
of the weights and towed loads which apply to your vehicle.
