Towing a trailer
Good Practice
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a
steep slope in high temperatures), the
engine automatically limits its power. In
this case, the automatic cutting off of
the air conditioning allows the engine
power to be recovered.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures
of the towing vehicle (see the
" I d e n t i fi c a t i o n f e a t u r e s " s e c t i o n o f
chapter 8) and of the trailer, observing
the recommended pressure. See the "Levels" section of
chapter 6. If the coolant temperature
warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the
engine as soon as possible.
Brakes
Towing increases the braking distance.
Drive at a moderate speed, change
down early and brake gradually. Towbar
We recommend the use of original
CITROËN towbars and their
harnesses, which have been tested
and approved from the design stage of
your vehicle, and that you entrust the

Weights
WEIGHTS AND TOWED LOADS (KG)
General points The GTW and towed load values
indicated are valid up to a maximum
altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed
load mentioned must be reduced by
10 % for each additional 1 000 metres.
GTW: gross train weight
GVW: gross vehicle weight
MOM: kerb weight
CVA: vertical load on the towbar
The speed of a towing vehicle must not
exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) (comply with
the legislation in force in your country).
The braked towed weight with load
transfer can be increased on condition
that the equivalent of this load is
removed from the vehicle so that the
GTW is not exceeded. Warning: towing
using a lightly loaded towing vehicle
may have an adverse effect on its road
holding. High exterior temperatures may result
in a reduction in the performance of the
vehicle in order to protect the engine;
when the exterior temperature is higher
than 37 °C, limit the towed weight.
The kerb weight is equal to the weight
without load + driver (75 kg) + fuel tank
fi l l e d t o 9 0 % .
For further information, consult your
r e g i s t r a t i o n c e r t i fi c a t e .
In each country, it is imperative that
the towed loads authorised by local
l e g i s l a t i o n a r e c o m p l i e d w i t h . T o fi n d
out your vehicle's towing capacities
and its gross train weight, consult a
CITROËN dealer.
