229Practical information
Matt paint
We recommend the use of a high pressurejet 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 microfibre cloth to dry the vehicle.It must be clean and used without heavypressure.
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 qualified workshop.
Recommendations on the care and maintenance your vehicle are given in the ser vicing booklet.
Never clean the vehicle without water. Never wash your vehicle in anautomatic 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 finishes. Application of these products on vehicles with a matt finish will seriously damage the paint surface of the vehicle, giving rise to irreversible
shiny or stained areas.Never use a high pressure jet washwith a lance fitted with a brush, this may scratch the paintwork. Never select a wash programme that finishes with a hot wax cycle.

The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit, if the GV W 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.
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 the towed load.
