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
fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's
 i

nstructions.
Your
 
vehicle   is   primarily   designed   for  
t

ransporting   people   and   luggage,   but   it   may  
a

lso
 
be   used   for   towing   a   trailer. Driving   with   a   trailer   places   greater  
d

emands   on   the   towing   vehicle   and   the  
d

river   must   take   particular   care.
For more information on Driving
advice ,   particularly   when   towing,   refer  
t

o   the   corresponding   section.

c

ertificate or in the technical
