driving advice
distribution of loads: distribute the load in
the trailer so that the heaviest objects are as
close as possible to the axle and the nose
weight is close to the maximum authorised
without, however, exceeding it.
c
ooling: towing a trailer on a slope
increases the coolant temperature.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on the
engine speed.
o
n the contrary, use a high gear to lower the
engine speed and reduce your speed.
i
n all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
tyres:
check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing
the recommended pressures.
Fitting a towbar
We recommend the use of genuine
C i T roën towbars and their harnesses,
which have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle and that
the fitting of this equipment is entrusted to a
C
i T roën dealer.
These genuine towbars are compatible with
the operation of the rear parking sensors
and the reversing camera, if fitted to your
vehicle.
i
f this equipment is not fitted by a C i T roën
dealer
, it must be fitted in line with the
manufacturer's instructions.
Good practice
if the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
r
efer to the "Checks - Levels and
checks" section.
Brakes: towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake gradually. Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed. ABS: the system only controls the vehicle,
not the trailer.
r
ear parking sensors: the system is
deactivated while the vehicle is towing with a
genuine C
i T roën towbar fitted.

cooling systemPower steering fluid level
The vehicle must be parked on level ground
with the engine cold. Unscrew the cap
integrated with the gauge and check the
level which must be between the MI n and
MA
x marks.
For access to the reservoir filler cap, remove
the protective cover by turning its three
fixing screws a quarter turn, then remove the
second cover fitted to the cap.
topping up
The level must be between the
MI n and
MA x marks on the expansion bottle. i f
more than 1 litre of fluid is required to top
up the level, have the system checked by a
C i T roën dealer or a qualified workshop.
Windscreen wash and headlamp
wash level
Capacity of the reservoir: approximately
5.5
litres.
For access to the reservoir filler cap, pull on
the telescopic filler pipe and unclip the cap.
For best quality cleaning and to prevent
freezing, this fluid must not be topped up or
replaced with plain water.
i
n wintry conditions, the use of an alcohol or
methanol based fluid is recommended.
i
f fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a failure which must be checked by
a C
i
T
roën
dealer or a qualified workshop
as soon as possible.o
nly use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer.
o
therwise, you risk seriously
damaging your engine. When the engine
is warm, the temperature of the coolant is
controlled by the engine fan. As this fan can
operate with the ignition key removed and
because the cooling system is pressurised,
wait for at least one hour after the engine
has stopped before carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn to release
the pressure to prevent any risk of scalding.
When the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level with coolant.
For access to the header tank filler cap,
remove the protective cover by turning its
three fixing screws a quarter turn.
