PRACTICAL INFORMATION
TOWING A TRAILER,
A CARAVAN, ETC.
Towbar suitable for the attachment
of a trailer or caravan 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 tting 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 impera-
tive that it is fi tted in accordance
with the vehicle manufacturer's in-
structions.
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
the driver must take particular care.
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.
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 towed load on a long
incline depends on the gradient and
the ambient temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the
coolant temperature.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
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.
)
If the warning lamp and
the STOP
warning lamp
come on, stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Matt paint
If you vehicle is fi nished with a clear
matt lacquer, please observe the fol-
lowing recommendations to avoid
damaging the paintwork by the use
of an inappropriate procedures.
These recommendations are also
valid for alloy road wheels fi nished
with clear matt lacquer.
Never clean the vehicle without water.
Never wash your vehicle in an automatic roller brush car wash.
Never polish the vehicle body, nor the alloy wheels. Doing this will make the
paintwork shiny.
Do not use paint cleaners, abrasive products or paint polishing or preserving
products (such as wax, for example) on the paintwork. These products are
only suitable for bright fi nishes. Application of these products on vehicles
with a matt fi nish will seriously damage the paint surface of the vehicle, giving
rise to irreversible shiny or stained areas.
Never use a high pressure jet wash with a lance fi tted with a brush, this may
scratch the paintwork.
Never select a wash programme that fi nishes with a hot wax cycle.
We recommend the use of a high pressure jet wash, or at least a water hose
with a high output.
We recommend that the vehicle be rinsed using de-ionised water.
Use only a microfi bre cloth to dry the vehicle. It must be clean and used
without heavy pressure.
Lightly wipe off any fuel stains present on the lacquer using a soft cloth, then
leave to dry.
From the range of cleaning and maintenance products recommended and approved
by CITROËN, use only products for removing insects and car shampoo.
Always have paint repairs done by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

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
country).
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.
