Practical information





Towing the vehicle
The towing eye is installed in the boot under
the floor.
To gain access to it:)open the boot, )lift the floor and remove it,)remove the towing eye from its housing.

General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in your country. Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle is higher than that of the towed vehicle. The person at the wheel of the towed vehicle must have a valid driving licence.When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, always use an approved towing bar; rope and straps are prohibited. When towing a vehicle with the engine off, there is no longer any power assistance for braking or steering. In the following cases, you must always call on a professional recovery service: - vehicle broken down on a motor way or fast road, - 4 wheel drive vehicle, - when it is not possible to put the gearbox into neutral, unlock the steering, or release theparking brake, - towing with only two wheels on the ground, - where there is no approved towing bar available...
Procedure
for having your vehicle towed or for towing another vehicle using the towing eye.

Practical information

Driving advice


Distribution of loads
)Distribute the load in the trailer so that theheaviest 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 b
y 10 % for every 1 000 metres of altitude.

Side wind
)Take into account the increased sensitivity
to side wind.
Cooling
To w i ng a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electricall
y 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 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
STOPwarning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.



Braking

To w i ng a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a long
mountain type of descent, the use of enginebraking is recommended.

Tyres
)
Check the tyre pressures of the towingvehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the
recommended pressures.



Lighting
)
Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.

R
efer to the "Technical data" section for detailsof the weights and towed loads which apply to your vehicle.


The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a genuineCITROËN towbar is used.

When not towing a trailer, remove thequickly-detachable tow ball beforedriving.

Technical data
* The kerb weight is equal to the unladen weight + driver (75 kg). **

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.

Petrol weights and towed loads (in kg)
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 (10 0 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 th

.Manufacturer's label.
This self-destroying label affixed to
the centre pillar, right or left hand side,contains the following information.

- the manufacturer's name,

- the European whole vehicle type approval number,

weight),

- the maximum authorised weight with trailer (gross
train weight),

- the maximum front axle weight,

the driver's side, contains the
followinginformation.
- the tyre inflation pressures with and
without load,

yre sizes (including the tyre load
index and speed rating),
- the inflation pressure for the spare
w
heel,
- the paint colour code.
B
.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on
