Engine technical data and 
towed loads
Engines
The engine characteristics are given in the 
vehicle's registration document, as well as in 
sales brochures.The maximum power corresponds to the 
value 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 weights and towed loads relating to 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 
towball.
When exterior temperatures are high, 
the vehicle per formance may be limited 
in order to protect the engine. When the 
exterior temperature is higher than 37°C, 
limit the towed weight.
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.
D. Tyres/paint code label.
This label is affixed to the driver's door 
aperture.
It bears the following information about the 
tyres:
-
 
t
he tyre pressures, unladen and laden,
-
 
t
he tyre specification, made up of the 
dimensions and type as well as the load and 
speed indices,
-
 
t
he spare tyre pressure.
It also indicates the paint colour code.
The vehicle may be originally equipped 
with tyres with higher load and speed 
indices than those indicated on the label, 
without affecting inflation pressure.
