When towing
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 the
m
aximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude,
thus
r
educing
e
ngine
p
erformance.
A
bove 1 000 metres, the maximum towed
l
oad must be reduced by 10 % for every
1 0
00 metres of altitude.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity t
o side wind.
For
more information on weights (and the
t
owed loads which apply to your vehicle) refer
t
o the corresponding section.
F
I
f 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, the use of
e
ngine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing v
ehicle and of the trailer, observing the
re
commended
p
ressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling o
n the trailer and the hadlamp beam height
o
f your vehicle.
For
more information on adjusting the
h
eadlamp beam height, refer to the
c
orresponding
s
ection.
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 coolant
t
emperature.
