It is essential to install a CITROËN approved electronic unit when having a towbar fi tted, in order to prevent any ris k of malfunction or damage (risk of fi re).
If you are towing another vehicle, the latter must be free-wheeling (gearbox in neutral).
Do not exceed the maximum permitted load.
For the maximum distributed load on the roof bars: see the chapter “General”.
Roof bars
For your safety and to avoid dam-age to the roof, you must use roof bars that are tested and approved by AUTOMOBILES CITROËN.bars that are tested and approved bars that are tested and approved
Recommendations:
Spread the load evenly, avoid-ing overloading on one side.
Position the heaviest weight as low down as possible.
Tie the load down securely and add warning signs if it is pro-truding.
Drive conservatively, as the vehicle will be more vulnerable to side winds.
The stability of your vehicle may be altered.
Remove the roof rack or roof bars when you are not using them.

Puncture kit
The puncture repair kit is located in the boot, underneath the tool kit.
The puncture repair kit is a com-plete system including a compres-sor and a setting product.
Using the puncture repair kit
1. Remove the sticker found in the kit, then stick it on the steering wheel to remind you that you are driving with a wheel that is only fi t for temporary use and that your speed is therefore lim-ited.
2. Connect the fl ask 1 to the valve of the tyre to be repaired.
3. Connect the electric cable to one of the vehicle's 12V sock-ets.
4. With the engine running, start the compressor by pressing on button A until the tyre pressure reaches 2,0 bars. If you cannot reach a pressure of 2 bars, the tyre is not repairable.
5. Remove and store the com-pressor.
6. Drive off immediately, for a few miles at reduced speed, to allow the puncture repair to set.
7. Adjust the tyre pressure using the compressor according to the recommendations for the vehicle, and check that there is no air escaping (no loss of pressure). If you cannot reach a pressure of 2 bars, the tyre is not repairable.
8 Do not exceed 110 km/h (68 mph).
The tyre must be examined, then repaired or replaced as soon as possible by a professional.
Warning, the fl ask of puncture repair gel contains ethylene-glycol, a product that is toxic if ingested and irritating for the eyes.
Keep out of the reach of children.
After use, do not dispose of the fl ask in the natural envi ronment, but return it to a CITROËN dealer or to a recognised recovery facility.
This repair kit is available from a CITROËN dealer.
