When towing
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to t
he axle and the nose weight approaches the
m
aximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude,
thus
r
educing
e
ngine
p
erformance.
A
bove 1 000 metres, the maximum towed
l
oad must be reduced by 10 % for every
1 0
00 metres of altitude.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity t
o side wind.
For
more information on weights (and the
t
owed loads which apply to your vehicle) refer
t
o the corresponding section.
F
I
f the warning lamp and the
S
TOP
warning lamp come on,
s
top the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of
e
ngine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing v
ehicle and of the trailer, observing the
re
commended
p
ressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling o
n the trailer and the hadlamp beam height
o
f your vehicle.
For
more information on adjusting the
h
eadlamp beam height, refer to the
c
orresponding
s
ection.
The
rear parking sensors will be
d
eactivated automatically if a genuine
C
ITROËN towbar is used.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant.
As
the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
c
apacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F
T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
s
peed.
The
maximum towed load on a long incline
d
epends on the gradient and the ambient
t
emperature.
In
all cases, keep a check on the coolant
t
emperature.

Towing a trailer
Your vehicle is primarily designed for transporting people and luggage, but it may
a
lso be used for towing a trailer.
We
recommend the use of genuine
C
ITROËN towbars and their harnesses
that have been tested and approved
from
the design stage of your vehicle,
a
nd that the fitting of the towbar is
e
ntrusted to a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified
w
orkshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by a
CITROËN
dealer, it must still be
f
itted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's
i
nstructions.
Very cold climate screen*
* Depending on the country of sale.
Fitting
F Offer up the very cold climate screen to t
he front of the lower section of the front
b u m p e r.
F
P
ress around its edge to engage its fixing
c
lips one by one.
Removal
F Use a screwdriver as a lever to release e
ach fixing clip in turn.
Removable
protective screen which prevents
t
he accumulation of snow at the radiator
c
ooling fan.
Do not forget to remove the very cold
c
limate screen when:
-
t
he ambient temperature exceeds
1
0 °C,
-
tow
ing,
-
d
riving at speeds above 75 mph
(
120 km/h). Driving
with a trailer places greater
d
emands on the towing vehicle and the d
river must take particular care.
For more advice on driving when
t
owing, refer to the corresponding
s
ection.
For
more information on weights (and
t
he towed loads which apply to your
vehicle)
refer to the corresponding
s
ection.

Before each use
Check that the towball is correctly fitted by verifying the following points:
- t he towball is correctly locked in place (position A),
-
t
he security key lock is on and the key removed; the locking wheel can no longer be
ope
rated,
-
t
he towball must no longer move at all in its carrier; try to shake it by hand.
During use
Never unlock the device when a trailer or load carrier is fitted to the towball.
N ever exceed the maximum authorised weight for the vehicle plus trailer (Gross Train
W
eight - GTW).
Before
driving, check the adjustment of the headlamp beam height.
For
more information on adjusting the headlamps, refer to the corresponding section.
After use
For journeys made without a trailer or load carrier, the trailer harness socket must be folded away, the towball removed and the blanking plug inserted in the carrier. This measure
a
pplies particularly if the towball could hinder visibility of the number plate or lighting.
