201Practical information
Removing the cartridge
Stow the black pipe.
Detach the angled base from the white pipe.
Support the compressor vertically.
Unscrew the cartridge from the bottom.
Beware of discharges of fluid.
The expiry date of the fluid is indicated
on the cartridge.
The sealant cartridge is designed for
single use; even if only partly used, it
must be replaced.
After use, do not discard the cartridge
into the environment, take it to an
authorised waste disposal site or a
CITROËN dealer.
Do not forget to obtain a new sealant
cartridge, available from CITROËN
dealers or from a qualified workshop.
Checking tyre pressures /
inflating accessories
You can also use the compressor, without
injecting any product, to:
- check or adjust the pressure of your tyres,
- inflate other accessories (balls, bicycle
tyres...).
Turn the selector A
to the
"Air" position.
Uncoil the black pipe H
fully.
Connect the black pipe to the
valve of the wheel or accessory.
If necessary, fit one of the adaptors
supplied with the kit first.
Connect the compressor's electrical
connector to the vehicle's 12 V socket.
Start the vehicle and let the engine run.
Adjust the pressure using the compressor
(to inflate: switch B
in position "I"
; to
deflate: switch B
in position "O"
and press
button C
), according to the vehicle's tyre
pressure label or the accessory's pressure
label.
Remove the kit then stow it.

229Practical information
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
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
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, 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.
If 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 on a long
mountain type of descent, the use of engine
braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
Check the electrical lighting and signalling
on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a genuine
CITROËN towbar is used.
Refer to the "Technical data" section for details
of the weights and towed loads which apply to
your vehicle.

Identifi cation markings
Various visible markings for the identification of your vehicle.
A.
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
under the bonnet.
This number is engraved on the bodywork
near the damper support.
The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres are cold, at least once
a month.
If the tyre pressures are too low, this
increases fuel consumption.
B.
Vehicle identification Number (VIN) on
the windscreen lower cross member.
This number is indicated on a self-adhesive
label which is visible through the windscreen.
C.
Manufacturer's label.
The VIN is indicated on a self-destroying
label affixed to the door aperture, on the
passenger's side.
D.
Ty r e / p a i n t l a b e l .
This label is affixed to the centre pillar, on
the driver's side. It bears the following information:
- the tyre inflation pressures with and without
load,
- the tyre sizes,
- the inflation pressure of the spare wheel,
- the paint colour code.
The rear quarter light cannot be etched
as it is made of polycarbonate material.
