Driving advice


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 per formance. 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.


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.
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.


)
If this message is displayed, stop your
vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.




Braking

Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.


Ty r e s



)
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the
recommended pressures.



Lighting



)
Check the lighting and signalling on the
trailer.


If the message flashes slowly, wait for the
engine to cool before topping up the level, if
necessary.
If the message flashes rapidly, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay.
