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
  at   a   moderate   speed,   change  
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.

been running for a prolonged period
at
  very   low   speed   or   at   idle,   you   may,  
in

  exceptional   circumstances,   notice  
the

  emission   of   water   vapour   at   the  
exhaust.

 
This
  water   vapour   does   not  
have any adverse ef

handling
  or   the   environment.
Battery
At the start of summer or winter, have your  battery   checked   by   a   CITROËN  
dealer

  or   a   qualified   workshop.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style of driving, in particular for vehicles
which are used in town, over short
distances.
  It   may   be   necessary   to  
check

  the   thickness   of   the   pads,   even  
between

  services.
Unless
  there   is   a   leak   on   the   circuit,   a  
drop

  in   the   brake   fluid   level   indicates  
that

  the   brake   pads   are   worn.
Brake disc / drum wear
For information on checking the brake disc  /   drum   wear,   contact   a   CITROËN  
dealer

.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too great or there is a reduction in the
performance
  of   the   system,   the   parking
 brake

  should   be   adjusted,   even   between
 services.
Have

  the   system   checked   by   a   CITROËN
 dealer

  or   a   qualified   workshop.
Oil filter

servicing

  schedule.

The engine characteristics (capacity,

The weights and towable loads for your
vehicle can be found on the vehicle's
registration
  certificate.
These
  values,   expressed   in   kg,   are  
laos

  present   on   the   manufacturer's  
plate

  or   label.
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.
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).
The
  recommended   nose   weight   is  the downward force on the towball
