On the front bumper, unclip the cover
by pressing at the bottom.
Screw the towing eye in fully.
Install the towing bar.
Towing your vehicle
Place the gear lever in neu-
tral (position N
on an elec-
tronic or automatic gearbox).
Failure to observe this in-
struction could result in dam-
age to certain components
(braking, transmission...) and
the absence of braking as-
sistance the next time the
engine is started.
On the rear bumper, unclip the cover
by pressing at the bottom.
Screw the towing eye in fully.
Install the towing bar.
Switch on the hazard warning lamps
on both vehicles.
Move off gently, drive slowly and for
a short distance.
Towing another vehicle
Unlock the steering by turning the
key in the ignition one notch and re-
lease the parking brake.
Switch on the hazard warning lamps
on both vehicles.
Move off gently, drive slowly and for
a short distance.

TOWING A TRAILER
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 or
a qualifi ed workshop.
If the towbar is not fi tted by a
CITROËN dealer, it is impera-
tive that it is fi tted in accordance
with the vehicle manufacturer's
instructions.
The rear parking sensors will
be deactivated automatically if
a genuine CITROËN towbar is
used.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer or installation of a bicycle carrier,
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 places greater de-
mands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.
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 towed load
must be reduced by 10 % for every
1 000 metres of altitude.
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 towed load on a long in-
cline depends on the gradient and the
ambient temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the cool-
ant 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.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a
long mountain type of descent, the use
of engine braking is recommended.
Tyres
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
Check the electrical lighting and sig-
nalling on the trailer.
Refer to the "Technical data" section for
details of the weights and towed loads
which apply to your vehicle.

AUDIO PRE-EQUIPMENT
Your vehicle is equipped with certain
factory-fi tted audio equipment:
- a dual-function aerial at the rear of
the roof,
- a coaxial aerial cable,
- basic interference suppression,
- cabling for speakers in the front doors
and tweeters in the dashboard,
- cabling for speakers in the rear
doors,
- two 8-way connectors.
Before installing a radio unit or
speakers in your vehicle, contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop to obtain a suitable
wiring harness.
Never use a separate wire to
connect the (+) of your audio
equipment (risk of discharging of
the battery).
Fitting an audio unit
The audio unit is fi tted in place of one
of the storage boxes located above
the heating and air conditioning control
panel.
Unclip the storage box on each side
using a screwdriver and pull out.
You will then have access to an aerial
coaxial cable and two 8-way connectors.
Then refer to the instructions provided
with your audio unit.
Fitting speakers
It is possible to fi t:
- 165 mm diameter speakers in the
front doors,
- 130 mm diameter speakers in the
rear doors,
- 22.5 mm diameter tweeters in the
top of the dashboard.

Installation of radio
communication transmitters
Before installing any after-market
radio communication transmit-
ter, you can contact a CITROËN
dealer for the specifi cation of
transmitters which can be fi tted
(frequency, maximum power, aer-
ial position, specifi c installation re-
quirements), in line with the Vehicle
Electromagnetic Compatibility
Directive (2004/104/EC).

force in the country, it may be
compulsory to have a high vis-
ibility safety vest, warning tri-
angle, breathalyzers and spare
bulbs and fuses available in the
vehicle.

ment or accessories which are
not recommended by CITROËN
may result in a failure of your ve-
hicle's electronic system and ex-
cessive electrical consumption.

The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit, if the GVW of the towing vehicle is reduced by an
equal amount. Warning: towing using a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its road holding.
The GTW and towed load values indicated are valid up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned
must be reduced by 10 % for each additional 1 000 metres of altitude.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the performance of the vehicle to protect the engine; if the ambient
temperature is above 37 °C, limit the towed load.
