PRACTICAL INFORMATION
We recommend the use of genu-
ine CITROËN towbars and their
harnesses that have been tested
and approved from the design
stage of your vehicle, and that
the fi tting of the towbar is en-
trusted to a CITROËN dealer.
If the trailer is not fi tted by a
CITROËN dealer, it is imperative
that it is fi tted using the electri-
cal pre-equipment installed at
the rear of the vehicle, in accord-
ance with the manufacturer's in-
structions.
TOWING A TRAILER,
A CARAVAN, ETC.
The rear parking assistance will
be deactivated automatically if
a genuine CITROËN towbar is
used.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional lighting
and signalling.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer.
Driving with a trailer subjects the towing
vehicle to more signifi cant stress and its
driver must be particularly careful.
Driving advice
Distribution of loads

 Distribute the load in the trailer so
that the heaviest items are as close
as possible to the axle and the nose
weight approaches the maximum
permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towing load
must be reduced by 10 % 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.
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. The maximum towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and the
ambient temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.

 If the warning lamp and the

STOP warning lamp come
on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as
soon as possible.
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.
Lighting

 Check the electrical signalling on
the trailer.

The petrol engines are perfectly compatible with E10 type pe trol biofuels (containing 10 % ethanol), conforming to Europe an
standards EN 228 and EN 15376.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 % ethanol) are reserved e xclusively for vehicles marketed for the use of this type of fuel
(BioFlex vehicles). The quality of the ethanol must comply with European standard EN 15376.

The fuel consumption fi gures shown here correspond to the val ues communicated at the time of printing.
The fi gures for HDi with particle emissions fi lter (PEF) will be available during the year on the CITROËN SERVICE website.
These fuel consumption values were established in accordance wi th Directive 80/1268/CEE. They may vary depending on
the style of driving, traffi c conditions, weather conditions, the load in the vehicle, the maintenance of the vehicle and the use

Quality of the fuel used for Diesel engine s
The Diesel engines are perfectly compatible with biofuels w hich conform to current and future European standards (diesel
fuel which complies with standard EN 590 mixed with a biofue l which complies with standard EN 14214) available at the
pumps (containing up to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
The B30 biofuel can be used in certain Diesel engines; ho wever, this use is subject to strict application of the special servicing
conditions. Consult a CITROËN dealer.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel (vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted, domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited (risk of
damage to the engine and fuel circuit).

The infl ation pressure must be
checked when the tyres are cold,
at least once a month. If the infl ation pressure is too low,
this increases fuel consumption.
IDENTIFICATION MARKINGS
Various visible markings for the identifi -
cation of your vehicle.

A. Vehicle identifi cation number (VIN)
under the bonnet.
This number is engraved on the body-
work near the damper mounting.
B. Vehicle identifi cation number on
the dashboard.
This number is indicated on a self-
adhesive label which is visible through
the windscreen.

C. Manufacturer's label.
The VIN is indicated on a self-destroying
label affi xed to the driver's centre pillar.
D. Tyre/paint label.
This label is affi xed to the driver's centre
pillar.
It bears the following information:
- the tyre pressures, for unladen and laden conditions,
- the wheel rim and tyre sizes,
- the brands of tyre recommended by the manufacturer,
- the spare tyre infl ation pressure,
- the paint colour code.
Wheels which are fi tted with
205/45 R17 tyres cannot be fi t-
ted with snow chains. For further
information, contact a CITROËN
dealer.
