TOWING A TRAILER, 
CARAVAN, ETC. 
 Your  vehicle  is  primarily  designed  for  
transporting people and luggage, but it 
may also be used for towing a trailer.   Driving advice 
   T h e    m a x i m u m    t o w i n g    l o a d    o n    a    l o n g  
slope depends on the gradient and the 
outside temperature.  
 In all cases, pay attention to the coolant  
temperature. 
  Side wind  
   
      Take  into  account  the  increased  
sensitivity to side wind.    
  Cooling  
 Towing  a  trailer  on  a  slope  increases  
the temperature of the coolant.   
 As  the  fan  is  electrically  controlled,  its  
cooling  capacity  is  not  dependent  on 
the engine speed.  
   
      To  lower  the  engine  speed,  reduce  
your speed.     Braking  
 Towing  a  trailer  increases  the  braking  
distance.    
  Tyres  
   
      Check  the  tyre  pressures  of  the  
towing  vehicle  and  of  the  trailer, 
observing  the  recommended 
pressures.   
  Lights  
   
      Check  the  electrical  signalling  on 
the trailer.      
         
If  this  message  is  
displayed,  stop  your 
vehicle  as  soon  as  it 
is safe to do so.

slowly, wait for the engine to cool before 
topping up the level, if necessary.

a  CITROËN  dealer without delay.  
 Opening  of  the  lower  tailgate 
is  prohibited  if  a  towbar  is 
being used.

     We  recommend  the  use  of 
original   CITROËN   towbars 
and  their  harnesses  that  have 
been  tested  and  approved  from  the 
design stage of your vehicle and that

manufacturer’s instructions. 
  Towbar  suited  to  the  attachment  of  
a  trailer  or  caravan  with  additional 
signalling and lighting. 
  Distribution of loads  
   
      Distribute  the  load  in  the  trailer  so 
that the heaviest items are as close

 Air density decreases with altitude, thus 
reducing  engine  performance.  Above

load  must  be  reduced  by  10 %  of  the 
GTW and so on for every 1 000 metres 
of altitude.  
 Refer to the “Technical Data” section for  
details of the weights and towing loads 
which apply to your vehicle.
