When towing
Distribution of loads
F Distribute  the   load   in   the   trailer   so   that   the h
eaviest   items   are   as   close   as   possible   to t

he   axle   and   the   nose   weight   approaches   the
 m

aximum   permitted   without   exceeding   it.
Air
  density   decreases   with   altitude,   thus  
r

educing   engine   per formance.   Above  
1 0

00 metres,   the   maximum   towed   load   must  
b

e   reduced   by   10 %   for   every   1 000   metres   of  
al

titude.
Side wind
F Take   into   account   the   increased   sensitivity  t
o   side   wind.
For
  more   information   on   Weights
, refer
to   the   corresponding   section.
The   rear   parking   sensors   will   be  
d

eactivated   automatically   to   avoid   the  
a

udible   signal   if   a   genuine   CITROËN  
t

owbar   is   used.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature   of   the   coolant.
As
  the   fan   is   electrically   controlled,   its   cooling  
c

apacity   is   not   dependent   on   the   engine   speed.
F
 
T
o   lower   the   engine   speed,   reduce   your  
s

peed.
The
  maximum   towed   load   on   a   long   incline  
d

epends   on   the   gradient   and   the   ambient  
t

emperature.
In
  all   cases,   keep   a   check   on   the   coolant  
t

emperature. F
 
I
f   the   warning   lamp   and   the  
S

TOP
 
warning   lamp   come   on,  
s

top   the   vehicle   and   switch   off  
t

he   engine   as   soon   as   possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o   avoid   overheating   of   the   brakes,   the   use   of  
e

ngine   braking   is   recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check  the   tyre   pressures   of   the   towing  v
ehicle   and   of   the   trailer,   observing   the  
re

commended
 p
ressures.
Lighting
F Check  the   electrical   lighting   and   signalling  o
n   the   trailer   and   the   headlamp   beam  
h

eight   of   your   vehicle.
For
  more   information   on   Adjusting the
headlamp beam height , refer to the
corresponding
 s

ection.
Driving

274
Coolant level
The coolant level should be close to   the   "MA X"   mark   but   should   never  
e

xceed   it.
In
 
addition,   as   the   cooling   system   is   pressurised,
 w

ait
 
at
 
least   one   hour   after   switching   off   the
 e

ngine
 
before   carrying   out   any   work.
To
 
avoid
 
any   risk   of   scalding,   unscrew   the   cap  
b

y
 
two
 
turns   to   allow   the   pressure   to   drop.  
W

hen
 
the
  pressure   has   dropped,   remove   the  
c

ap
 
and
 
top-up   the   level.
Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the manufacturer's r ecommendations.
The cooling fan may star t after switching
off the engine: take care with ar ticles and
clothing that might be caught by the fan
blades. When   the   engine   is   warm,   the   temperature   of  
t

he   coolant   is   regulated   by   the   fan.To p p i n g - u p
The reservoir must be topped-up without delay b
y   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.
Diesel fuel additive level
(Diesel with particle filter)
The additive reservoir low level is indicated   by   fixed   illumination   of   this  
w

arning   lamp,   accompanied   by   an  
a

udible   signal   and   a   message   that  
t

he   particle   filter   additive   level   is  
t

oo low.
The
 
warning   lamp   comes   on   when   the   ignition  
i

s
 
switched   on,   or   every   time   the   stalk   is  
o

perated,
  until   the   reservoir   is   refilled.
Next
 
time
  you   stop,   refill   the   screenwash   /  
h

eadlamp
  wash   reservoir.
Screenwash/headlamp
wash level low
In the case of vehicles fitted with h
eadlamp   washers,   when   the   fluid r

eservoir   low   level   is   reached   this
 w

arning   lamp   comes   on   in   the
 i

nstrument   panel,   accompanied   by   an
 a

udible   signal   and   a   message. Avoid
  prolonged   contact   of   used   oil   or  
f

luids   with   the   skin.
Most
  of   these   fluids   are   harmful   to  
h

ealth   or   indeed   very   corrosive.
Do
  not   discard   used   oil   or   fluids   into  
s

ewers   or   onto   the   ground.
Take
  used   oil   to   a   CITROËN   dealer   or  
a

  qualified   workshop   (France)   or   to   an  
a

uthorised   waste   disposal   site.
