Technical data
9Engine technical data and
towed loads
Engines
The engine characteristics are given in the
vehicle's registration document, as well as in
sales brochures.
Only the values available at the time of
publication are presented in the tables.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to obtain missing values.
The maximum power corresponds to the value type-approved on a test bed, under
conditions defined by European legislation
(Directive 1999/99/EC).
For more information, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Weights and towed loads
The weights and towed loads relating to
the vehicle are indicated on the registration
document, as well as in sales brochures.
These values are also indicated on the
manufacturer's plate or label.
For more information, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
The GTW (Gross Train Weight) and towed load
values indicated are valid up to a maximum
altitude of 1,000 metres. The towed load value
must be reduced by 10% for each additional
1,000 metres of altitude.
The maximum authorised nose weight
corresponds to the weight permitted on the
towball.
When exterior temperatures are high, the
vehicle performance may be limited in
order to protect the engine. When the exterior
temperature is higher than 37°C, reduce the
towed weight.
Towing even with a lightly loaded vehicle can adversely affect its road holding.
Braking distances are increased when towing
a trailer.
When using a vehicle to tow, never exceed
a speed of 62 mph (100
km/h) (observe the
local legislation in force).
