e
xplosion or fire.
Do
not try to charge a frozen battery;
t
he battery must first be thawed out to
a
void the risk of explosion. If the battery
h
as been frozen, before charging have
i
t checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
q
ualified workshop who will check that
t
he internal components have not been
d
amaged and the casing is not cracked,
w
hich could cause a leak of toxic and
c
orrosive acid.
do n
ot reverse the polarity and use only
a
12 V charger.
Do

to
be
left
unused
for
more
t
han
one
month.
The batteries contain harmful substances s uch as sulphuric acid and lead. They m
ust be disposed of in accordance

Towing a trailer
Your vehicle is primarily designed for transporting people and luggage, but it may
a
lso be used for towing a trailer.
Driving
with a trailer places greater demands
o
n the towing vehicle and the driver must take
par
ticular
c
are.Driving advice
Distribution of loads
F distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to
t
he axle and the nose weight approaches
t
he maximum permitted without
e
xceeding it.
ai
r density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing
engine per formance. Above
1 0
00 metres, the maximum towed load must
b
e reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of
al
titude.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity t
o side wind.
Refer to the "Technical data" section for details
of
the weights and towed loads which apply to
y
our vehicle.
We
recommend
the
use
of
genuine
C
ITR
oËn
towbars and their harnesses
that have been tested and approved
from
the
design
stage
of
your
vehicle,
a
nd
that
the
fitting
of
the
towbar
is
e
ntrusted to a CITR
oËn
dealer or a
qualified
w
orkshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by a
CITROËN
dealer,
it
must
still
be
f
itted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's
i
nstructions.

F If the warning lamp and the S
TOP warning lamp come on,
s
top the vehicle and switch off
the
engine as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o avoid overheating of the brakes on a long
m
ountain type of descent, the use of engine
b
raking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing
t
he
re
commended
p
ressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling o
n the trailer.
The
rear parking sensors will be
d
eactivated automatically if a genuine
C
ITROËN towbar is used.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant.
As
the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
c
apacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F
T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
s
peed.
The
maximum towed load on a long incline
d
epends on the gradient and the ambient
t
emperature.
In
all cases, keep a check on the
c
oolant
t
emperature.

Warning:
towing using a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its road holding.
Petrol weights and towed loads (in kg)
The GTW and towed load values indicated are valid up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned must be reduced by 10 % for each additional 1 000 metres of altitude.
When
towing, the maximum authorised speed is reduced (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High
ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the per formance of the vehicle to protect the engine; if the ambient temperature is above 37 °C,
