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
t o w i n g v e h i c l e ( s e e t h e " I d e n t i fi c a t i o n
features" section of 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

Side wind
Sensitivity to side wind is increased.
Drive smoothly and at a moderate
speed.
ABS/ESP
The ABS or ESP systems only control
the vehicle, not the trailer or caravan.
Rear parking assistance
The assistance does not function while
the vehicle is towing.
