distribution of loads
d

istribute 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.
c

ooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the
  coolant   temperature.a s 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.

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 and of the trailer

, observing the
recommended
  pressures.

Towing
  increases   the   braking   distance.  Drive

down

  early   and   brake   gradually.
towbar
We recommend the use of genuine CITRo Ë n towbars and their
harnesses, which have been tested
and
  approved   from   the   design   stage   of  
your vehicle, and that you entrust the
fitting

  of   this   equipment   to   a   CITROËN  
dealer

.
If
  this   equipment   is   not   fitted   by   a  
CITROËN

  dealer,   it   is   imperative   that  
it

  is   fitted   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  
fitting

  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   fitting   this   type  
of

  equipment.

cooling system
Only use the fluid recommended by the manufacturer.
Otherwise,
  you   risk   seriously   damaging  
your

  engine.
When
  the   engine   is   warm,   the  
temperature

  of   the   coolant   is   controlled  
by

  the   engine   fan.  
As
  this   fan   can  
operate

  with   the   ignition   key   removed  
and

  because   the   cooling   system   is  
pressurised, wait for at least one hour
after the engine has stopped before
carrying

  out   any   work.
Slacken
  the   cap   by   1/4   of   a   turn   to  
release the pressure to prevent any
risk

  of   scalding.   When   the   pressure  
has

  dropped,   remove   the   cap   and   top  
up

  the   level   with   coolant.
If
  fluid   has   to   be   added   frequently,  
this

  indicates   a   fault   which   must   be  
checked

  by   a   CITROËN   dealer   as  
soon

  as   possible.
Power steering fluid level
The vehicle must be parked on level ground  with   the   engine   cold.   Unscrew  
the cap integrated with the gauge and
check

  the   level   which   must   be   between  
the

  MIN   and   MAX   marks. In
  order   to   regenerate   the   filter,   you  are advised to drive at a speed higher
than
  40   mph   (60   km/h)   for   at   least   five  minutes
  as   soon   as   possible,   when  
traffic

  conditions   permit   (until   the  
message

  disappears   and   the   service  
warning

  lamp   goes   off).

For best quality cleaning and for your safety , we would advise that you use
products
  of   the   CITROËN   range.
For

freezing,

  this   fluid   must   not   be   topped  
up

  or   replaced   with   plain   water.

or coolant into drains or into the ground
but into the containers dedicated to this
use at a CITR

o Ë n dealer (France) or
an
  authorised   waste   disposal   site.

When

  filling   with   fuel,   a  
mechanical

  system   prevents  
opening

  of   the   left-hand   side   door.  
When

  the   fuel   filler   flap   is   open,   ensure  
that

  no   one   tries   to   slide   this   door.
Once
  the   flap   has   been   closed,   the

  side   door   may   jam,   push   the  
door

  to   close   it   then   open   it.
When

When
  the   fuel   filler   cap   is   opened,  
there

  may   be   a   slight   air   suction   noise.  
This

  vacuum   is   entirely   normal   and   is  
due

  to   the   sealing   of   the   fuel   circuit.
When
