CHANGING A FUSE
The fuseboxes are located:
-
in the lower dashboard on the

left-hand side (behind the cover),
-

under the bonnet (near the battery).
If fitted on your vehicle, an additional
fusebox is used for towing, the
towbar and the connections for
the coachbuilder and platform cab
modifications. It is located on the right
behind the load retaining partition.
The indications communicated
are only those fuses which can be
changed by the user using the tweezer

,
located behind the dashboard storage
compartment on the right-hand side.
For any other work, visit a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.

Always replace a failed fuse with a
fuse of the same rating.

eye. When towing with the engine
switched off, there is no braking or
steering assistance.
Lifting (only 2 wheels on the
road)
It is preferable to raise the vehicle
using professional lifting equipment.
This procedure involves the use of
the

towing eye supplied with the tools
for changing a wheel.
Vehicles fitted with a manual
gearbox (Diesel version)
In the case of vehicles fitted with
a manual gearbox, the gear lever
must be in neutral, failure to observe
this special condition may result in

WEIGHTS AND TOWED LOADS
These values, expressed in kg, can be
found on the manufacturer's VIN plate
or label.
The maximum weights and towed
loads for your vehicle can be found on
the vehicle's registration certificate. The recommended nose weight is
the downward force on the towball
(removable with or without tools).
In each country, it is imperative that
the maximum towed loads authorised
by local legislation are complied
with. To find out your vehicle's towing
capacities and its gross train weight,
consult a CITROËN dealer.
The kerb weight is equal to the weight
without load + driver (75 kg) + fuel tank
filled to 90%.
The GTW and towed load values
indicated are valid up to a maximum
altitude of 1000 metres. The value of
the towed load mentioned must be
reduced by 10 % for each additional
1000 metres.
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. 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 location of the manufacturer's
plate is given in chapter 9,
"Identification markings" section.
ENGINE CHARACTERISTICS
The engine characteristics (capacity,
maximum power, maximum power
speed, fuel, C
o
2 emissions...) for your
vehicle are given in the registration
certificate.
These characteristics correspond to the
values type-approved on a test bed,
under conditions defined in European
legislation (Directive 1999/99/EC).
For more information, refer to the
manufacturer's website or sales
brochure for the model. Contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. GVW: gross vehicle weight, the
maximum authorised weight.
GTW: gross train weight, the maximum
weight for vehicle plus trailer.
Towing with a lightly loaded
vehicle can adversely affect road
holding.
Towing a trailer increases braking
distances.
When towing, the maximum permitted
speed is reduced (comply with the
legislation in force in the country).
