The damaged wheel can be stowed under
the floor, in the standard spare wheel
housing.
To stow an alloy wheel, first remove the
trim from the middle of the wheel so that
the fastening device (nut and bolt) can be
put in place.
In the case of a "space-saver" type spare
wheel, the damaged wheel cannot be
stowed under the floor. It must be stowed
in the boot; use a cover to protect the

Engine technical data
and towed loads
Engines
The engine specifications (cubic capacity,
max. power, max. speed, energy, CO
2
emissions, etc.) for your vehicle are given in
the registration document and in the sales
literature.
These characteristics correspond to the values
type-approved on a test bed, under conditions
defined in European legislation (Directive
1999/99/EC).
For more information, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Weights and towed loads
The maximum weights and towed loads for
your vehicle are given in the registration
document, as well as in sales brochures.
These values are also given on the
manufacturer's plate or label.
For more information, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop. The GTW (Gross Train Weight) and towed load
values indicated are valid up to a maximum
altitude of 1,000 metres. The towed load value
must be reduced by 10% for each additional
1,000 metres of altitude.
The maximum authorised nose weight
corresponds to the weight permitted on the
towbar.
When exterior temperatures are high, the
vehicle per formance may be limited in
order to protect the engine. If the exterior
temperature is above 37°C, limit the towed
load.
Towing using a lightly loaded vehicle can
adversely affect roadholding.
Braking distances are increased when
towing a trailer.
When using a vehicle to tow, never exceed
a speed of 62 mph (100 km/h) (obser ve
the local legislation in force).
If the exterior temperature is high, it is
recommended that the engine be allowed
to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the vehicle
comes to a stop, to facilitate its cooling.
