When towing
Distribution of loads
F 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
 m

aximum   permitted   without   exceeding   it.
Air 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
altitude.
Side wind
F Take   into   account   the   increased   sensitivity  t
o   side   wind.
For more information on Weights
, refer
to   the   corresponding   section.
The   rear   parking   sensors   will   be  
d

eactivated automatically to avoid the
audible
  signal   if   a   genuine   CITROËN  
t

owbar   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. 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 headlamp beam
height
  of   your   vehicle.
For more information on Adjusting the
headlamp beam height , refer to the
corresponding
 s

ection.

Coolant level
The coolant level should be close
to  the   "MA X"   mark   but   should   never  
e

xceed   it.
In
 
addition,   as   the   cooling   system   is   pressurised,
 w

ait
 
at
 
least   one   hour   after   switching   off   the
 e

ngine
 
before   carrying   out   any   work.
To
 
avoid
 
any   risk   of   scalding,   unscrew   the   cap  
b

y
 
two
 
turns   to   allow   the   pressure   to   drop.  
W

hen the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap
 
and
 
top-up   the   level.
Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's r ecommendations.
The cooling fan may star t after switching
off the engine: take care with ar ticles and
clothing that might be caught by the fan
blades. When   the   engine   is   warm,   the   temperature   of  
t

he   coolant   is   regulated   by   the   fan.To p p i n g - u p
The reservoir must be topped-up without delay
by
  a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.
Diesel fuel additive level
(Diesel with particle filter)
The additive reservoir low level is
indicated  by   fixed   illumination   of   this  
w

arning   lamp,   accompanied   by   an  
a

udible   signal   and   a   message   that  
t

he particle filter additive level is
too low.
The
 
warning   lamp   comes   on   when   the   ignition  
i

s
 
switched   on,   or   every   time   the   stalk   is  
o

perated,
  until   the   reservoir   is   refilled.
Next
 
time
  you   stop,   refill   the   screenwash   /  
h

eadlamp
  wash   reservoir.
Screenwash/headlamp
wash level low
In the case of vehicles fitted with
headlamp washers, when the fluid
reservoir low level is reached this
warning
  lamp   comes   on   in   the
 in

strument panel, accompanied by an
audible
  signal   and   a   message. Avoid
  prolonged   contact   of   used   oil   or  
f

luids   with   the   skin.
Most of these fluids are harmful to
health
  or   indeed   very   corrosive.
Do not discard used oil or fluids into
sewers
  or   onto   the   ground.
Take
  used   oil   to   a   CITROËN   dealer   or  
a

  qualified   workshop   (France)   or   to   an  
a

uthorised   waste   disposal   site.
