TOWING A TRAILER, A CARAVAN, ETC.
Towbar suited to the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional sig-
nalling and lighting.
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 original
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. If the trailer is not fi tted by
a CITROËN dealer, it is
imperative that it is fi tted
using the electrical pre-equipment
installed at the rear of the vehicle,
in accordance with the manufactur-
er's instructions.
Driving with a trailer subjects the
towing vehicle to more signifi cant
stress and its driver must be par-
ticularly careful.
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
towing load must be reduced by
10 % and so on for every 1 000 me-
tres of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section
for details of the weights and towing
loads which apply to your vehicle.
Side wind

 Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind. 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.

 To lower the engine speed, re-
duce your speed.
The maximum towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and
the outside temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant temperature.

 If the warning light and
the STOP warning light
come on, stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the brak-
ing distance.
Tyres

 Check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended
pressures.
Lights

 Check the electrical signalling on
the trailer.
The rear parking assistance will
be deactivated automatically if an
original CITROËN towbar is used.

The weight of the braked trailer can be increased , within the GTW limit, on condition that the GVW o f 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.
