Protective net
Open the cover located in the hook
support.
Fix the top of the net in the notches,
having fi rst turned the bar 1/4 of a turn.
Ensure that the end of the bar engages
correctly in the metal part of its
location.
Fix the straps in the locations provided
on the fl oor.

Cup holder
Any liquid carried in a cup (mug or
other) on board which could spill,
presents a risk.
Take care.
12 volt socket (120 W max)
It is advisable to limit the use of this
socket to avoid discharging the battery.
Stowing rings
Use the stowing rings on the fl oor to
secure and retain your loads fi rmly.
The seat belt anchorages must not be
used for this purpose. It is recommended that the load
is immobilised by securing it
fi rmly using the stowing rings on
the fl oor.

Rear seat belts
(7 seat version)
In row 2
The three seats are fi tted with three-
point inertia reel seat belts.
When folding the side seats or the
seat backs to the table position, avoid
trapping the strap of the centre seat
belt.
When handling the side seats
(removing/installing) or when
accessing row 3, avoid hooking the
centre seat belt.
Ensure that the centre seat belt is
rolled up correctly in its strengthener
on the roof. In row 3
The two seats are fi tted with three-
point inertia reel seat belts.
Do not attach the seat belts to the
stowing rings marked with a red cross,
represented on the label.
Take care to hook the seat belts
correctly on the rings provided for this
purpose.
The row 3 seat belts which are not in
use can be stored to clear the load
space and make use of the load space
cover easier.
Hook the snap hook in the location
provided on the rear pillar trim.

Towing a trailer For more information about
weights, refer to the administrative
documents (registration
document, ...) or to the "Weights"
section of chapter 8.
TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...
Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer so
that the heaviest objects are as
close as possible to the axle and
the nose weight is close to the
maximum authorised without, however,
exceeding it.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the coolant temperature. As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.
You should therefore use a high gear
to lower the engine speed and reduce
your speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant temperature.
Driving advice
A towed vehicle must free wheel:
gearbox in neutral.

Towing a trailer
ACCESSORIES

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 air conditioning is
automatically cut off to save engine
power. Tyres
Check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (see the "Identifi cation
markings" section of chapter 8) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressures.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 6.
If the coolant temperature
warning lamp 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 genuine
CITROËN towbars and their
harnesses, which have been tested
and approved from the design stage of
your vehicle, and that you entrust the
fi tting of this equipment to a CITROËN
dealer.
If this equipment is not fi tted by a
CITROËN dealer, it is imperative
that it is fi tted using the electrical
pre-equipment installed at the rear of
the vehicle and in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
In accordance with the general
instructions a reminder of which has
been given above, we draw your
attention to the risk associated with
fi tting a towbar or electrical accessory
not recommended by CITROËN.
Fitting such equipment could result in
the failure of your vehicle's electronic
system. Please obtain information from
the Manufacturer before fi tting this type
of equipment.
Side wind
Sensitivity to side wind is increased.
Drive smoothly and at a moderate
speed.
ABS/DSC
The ABS or DSC systems only control
the vehicle, not the trailer or caravan.
Rear parking sensors
The parking sensors system does not
function while the vehicle is towing.

1. PARKING THE VEHICLE
- The occupants must get out of the vehicle and wait in a safe location.
- If possible, park the vehicle on level, stable and non-slippery
ground.
- Apply the parking brake, switch off the ignition and engage fi rst or
reverse gear. - If available, place a chock under
the wheel diagonally opposite the
one to be changed.
If the vehicle is fi tted with a towbar,
it is sometimes necessary to raise
the vehicle slightly to make it easier
to remove the spare wheel from its
carrier.
On certain types of ground and/
or if considerable loads are being
transported, call a CITROËN dealer or
a qualifi ed workshop.
CHANGING A WHEEL
2. TOOLS
- The tools are stowed in a storage compartment located under the left
hand front seat. If necessary, move
the seat to access the storage
compartment from the rear.
- Unscrew the nut then take out the jack and the wheelbrace.

REMOVABLE SNOW SCREEN
According to country, the removable
snow screen is installed on the lower
part of the front bumper to prevent the
accumulation of snow at the radiator
cooling fan.
FITTING
REMOVAL
- Pass a screwdriver into the hole located near each of the clips.
- Use the screwdriver as a lever to unclip the four clips B in turn.
- Offer up the snow screen facing its
centring pin A on the front bumper.
- Put it in place by pressing at each clip B located in the four corners.
Do not forget to remove the
snow screen when the exterior
temperature is higher than 10°C
(no risk of snowfall) and when towing.
6. REFITTING THE REPAIRED WHEEL
The wheel is refi tted as described in
step 5, not forgetting to refi t the wheel
trim.
Refer to the "Identifi cation
markings" section of chapter 8 to
locate the tyre label.
Refer to the "Instruments and
controls" section of chapter 2,
"Tyre under-infl ation detection"
part, for recommendations after
changing a wheel fi tted with a tyre
under-infl ation detection sensor.
The spare wheel is not designed
to be used over long distances.
Have the tightening of the bolts
and the tyre pressure checked by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop as soon as possible. Have
the original wheel repaired and refi tted
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop as soon as possible.

QUICK HELP

Without lifting (4 wheels on the
road)
You should always use a towing bar.
BEING TOWED
The towing eye is stored in the tool kit,
located under the left-hand seat.
From the front
- Unclip the cover by pressing the bottom part.
- Fully screw in the removable towing eye.
From the rear
- Unclip the cover using a coin or the fl at part of the towing eye,
- Fully screw in the removable towing eye. When towing with the engine
switched off, there is no braking or
steering assistance.
Lifting (2 wheels on the road
only)
It is preferable to raise the vehicle
using professional lifting equipment.
Vehicles fitted with a manual
gearbox (Diesel version)
In the case of vehicles fi tted with a
manual gearbox, the gear lever must
be in the neutral position, failure to
observe this special condition may
result in damage to transmission and
braking components and the absence
of braking assistance when the engine
is started again.

WEIGHTS AND TOWED LOADS (KG)
General points
For more information, refer to your
registration certifi cate.
In each country, it is imperative that
the towed loads authorised by local
legislation are complied with. To fi nd
out your vehicle's towing capacities
and its gross train weight, consult a
CITROËN dealer. With load transfer, the braked trailer
weight 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
with a lightly loaded towing vehicle
may have an adverse effect on its road
holding.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not
exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) (comply with
the legislation in force in your country). High ambient temperatures may result
in a reduction in the performance
of the vehicle in order to protect the
engine; when the ambient 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 lled to 90%.
The GTW and towed load values
indicated are valid up to a maximum
altitude of 1000 metres; the towed load
mentioned must be reduced by 10 %
for each additional 1000 metres.
