When towing
distribution of loads
F 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
exceeding
it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine per formance. Above
1
000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10
% for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
Side wind
F 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.
F

T
o 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.
F

I
f the warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of
engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the hadlamp beam height
of your vehicle.
For more information on adjusting the
headlamp beam height, refer to the
corresponding section.
For more information on weights (and
the towed loads which apply to your
vehicle) refer to the corresponding
section.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a genuine
CITROËN towbar is used.

Fitting roof bars
As a safety measure and to avoid damaging the
roof, it is essential to use the transverse bars
approved for your vehicle.When fitting roof bars, use only the four fixing
points located in the roof frame. The points are
masked by the vehicle doors when closed.
Remove the protective covers, levering them
off with a screwdriver. Take care not to scratch
the paint.
The roof bar fixings include a stud to be fitted to
the hole at each fixing point.
Observe the fitting instructions and the
conditions of use in the guide supplied with the
bars.
Keep the protective covers safe so that they
can be refitted after removing the roof bars. Maximum load distributed over the roof
bars, for a load height not exceeding
40
cm (except bicycle carriers):
-

f
or roof bars with pads at 90 mm:
50 kg
-

f
or roof bars with pads at 15 0 mm:
80 kg .
For more information, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the
speed of the vehicle to the profile of the
road to avoid damaging the roof bars
and the fixings on the vehicle.
Be sure to refer to national legislation in
order to comply with the regulations for
transporting objects which are longer
than the vehicle. Longitudinal roof bars are fitted as
original equipment to certain versions.
These play a purely aesthetic role and
transverse roof bars must not be fitted
to these longitudinal bars.
Practical information

Before each use
Check that the towball is correctly fitted by verifying the following points:
- t he towball is correctly locked in place (position A ),
-

t
he security key lock is on and the key removed; the locking wheel can no longer be
operated,
-

t
he towball must no longer move at all in its carrier; try to shake it by hand.
during use
Never unlock the device when a trailer or load carrier is fitted to the towball.
Never exceed the maximum authorised weight for the vehicle plus trailer (Gross Train
Weight - GTW).
Before driving, check the adjustment of the headlamp beam height.
For more information on adjusting the headlamps, refer to the corresponding section.
After use
For journeys made without a trailer or load carrier, the trailer harness socket must be folded
away, the towball removed and the blanking plug inserted in the carrier. This measure
applies particularly if the towball could hinder visibility of the number plate or lighting.
Fitting the towball
Remove the protective plug from the carrier
and check the condition of the fixing system.
If necessary, clean the carrier with a brush or
clean cloth.
Take the towball from the storage bag.
Remove the protective cover from the ball and
the protective cap from the locking wheel.
Stow the plug, cover and cap in the
storage
bag.
Check that the towball is unlocked (position B ).
If not, insert the key in the lock and turn the key
anti-clockwise to unlock the mechanism.
