PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Towbar suitable for the attachment
of a trailer 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.
We recommend the use of genuine
CITROËN towbars and their har-
nesses that have been tested and
approved from the design stage
of your vehicle, and that the fi t-
ting of the towbar is entrusted to
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
If the towbar is not fi tted by a
CITROËN dealer, it is imperative
that it is fi tted in accordance with the
vehicle manufacturer's instructions.
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 ex-
ceeding 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.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section
for details of the weights and towed
loads which apply to your vehicle.
Side wind
)
Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind.
)
To lower the engine speed, re-
duce your speed.
The maximum towed load on a long
incline depends on the gradient and
the ambient temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on 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 brak-
ing distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes
on a long mountain type of descent,
the use of engine braking is recom-
mended.
Tyres
)
Check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended
pressures.
Lighting
)
Check the electrical lighting and
signalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a gen-
uine CITROËN towbar is used.
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
the driver must take particular care.
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.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
ROOF BARS
For your safety and to avoid damage
to the roof and tailgate, the design of
your vehicle requires the use of roof
bars and roof boxes that are tested
and approved by CITROËN.
Regardless of the type of load car-
rier to be mounted on the roof (roof
box, bicycle carrier, ski carrier...),
you must fi t transverse roof bars.
Recommendations
)
Distribute the load evenly, avoid-
ing overloading on one side.
)
Arrange the heaviest part of the
load as close as possible to the
roof.
)
Anchor the load securely and fi t
a warning fl ag part of it is over-
hanging.
)
Drive gently, as the vehicle will
be more liable to the effects of
side winds (vehicle stability may
be altered).
)
Remove the roof bars as soon
as they are no longer needed.
Bicycle carrier
Do not attach a strap-fi tting bicycle
carrier to the following vehicle ver-
sions:
- C4 Picasso 5-seater (all versions);
- C4 Picasso 7-seater version with
opening rear screen.
Maximum load, distributed
over the roof bars (for a
loading height not exceed-
ing 40 cm, except bicycle carrier):
80 kg.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt
your speed to the profi le of the road
to avoid damaging the roof bars
and the fi xings on the roof.
Please refer to national legislation
in order to comply with the regula-
tions concerning the transport of
objects which are longer than the
vehicle.
* According to country.
VERY COLD CLIMATE
SCREEN *
Removable protective screen which
prevents the accumulation of snow
at the radiator cooling fan.
Fitting
)
Offer up the very cold climate
screen to the front of the lower
section of the front bumper.
)
Press around its edge to engage
its fi xing clips one by one.
Removal
)
Use a screwdriver as a lever to
release each fi xing clip in turn.
Do not forget to remove the very
cold climate screen:
- when the ambient temperature
exceeds 10 °C,
- when towing,
-
at speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h).

Before installing any after-market ra-
dio communication transmitter, you
can contact a CITROËN dealer for

power, aerial position, specifi c instal-
lation requirements), in line with the
Vehicle Electromagnetic Compatibility
Directive (2004/104/EC).

The GTW and towed load values indicated apply 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 100 km/h (approx. 60 mph) (comply with the legislation in force in your

High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the performance of the vehicle in order to protect the engine; when
the ambient temperature is higher than 37 °C, limit the weight towed.
*
The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit, on condition that the GVW of the towing vehicle is reduced
by the same amount; warning, towing with a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its road holding.
