ACCESSORIES
Towing a trailer
TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...
Driving advice
A towed vehicle must free wheel: gearbox in
neutral.
Cooling: 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.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the
engine speed and reduce your speed. In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
Page 103 of 131

94
Towing a trailer
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a steep
slope in high temperatures), the engine
automatically limits its power. In this
case, the automatic cutting off of the air
conditioning allows the engine power to be
recovered.
If the coolant temperature
warning light comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
See the “Levels” section of chapter 7.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (see the “Identification
features” section of chapter 7) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressure.
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.
Rear parking assistance :
the assistance will be deactivated
automatically when a CITROËN towbar is
used (see the “Rear parking assistance”
section of chapter 4).
Towbar
We recommend the use of CITROËN
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 CITROËN
dealer .
If this equipment is not fitted by a CITROËN
dealer , it is essential that it is fitted using
the electrical pre-equipment located at the
rear of the vehicle in accordance with the
manufacturer ’s instructions.
The operation of the sensors is deactivated
automatically when the pin of the trailer
cable is inserted in the towbar socket.
When the trailer cable pin is removed, the
sensors are re-activated.
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. The air density decreases with
altitude, so reducing the performance of
the engine. The maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10 % for each 1000 metres
of altitude. Refer to the “Technical data”
chapter for details of the weights and
towed loads applicable to your vehicle and
also to the administrative documents (V5
registration document, ...).

ACCESSORIES
Equipment
ROOF RACK AND ROOF BARS
To install the transverse roof bars or a roof
rack, use the anchoring points provided.
Maximum loads :
- on the roof rack : 80 kg,
- on the 3 transverse roof bars: 90 kg,
- on the 2 transverse roof bars fitted on the
longitudinal bars: 90 kg .
OTHER ACCESSORIES
These accessories and parts, having been
tested and approved for reliability and
safety, are all adapted to your vehicle.
Range of professional equipment
The replacement parts department publishes
an accessories catalogue offering various
equipment and fittings, such as:
Towbars, 7/13 pin, 7/7 pin, 13 pin towbar
harness: trailer towbar which must be fitted
by a CITROËN dealer .
Roof rack, set of tranverse roof bars, loading
roller.
Protective wood floor, non-slip wood floor,
wood side protection, window protection
grille.
Never exceed the maximum weight of
the vehicle when loaded (GVW). The installation of equipment or an
electrical accessory not supplied by
Automobiles CITROËN, may result in
a failure of the electronic system of your
vehicle.
We would like to draw your attention to this
fact, and advise you to consult a CITROËN
dealer who will be able to show you the
range of equipment and accessories that are
available.
Depending on the country of sale, it may be
mandatory to carry high visibility jackets,
warning triangles and replacement bulbs
in your vehicle. Before fitting any radio
transmitters with an external aerial on
your vehicle, we recommend that you
contact a CITROËN dealer. Your CITROËN
dealer will inform you of the features of
transmittters (frequency band, maximum
power output, aerial position, specific
conditions of installation) which may be
fitted, in accordance with the Automobile
Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive
(2004/104/CE...).

TROUBLESHOOTING
Battery
BATTERY
A. Positive metal point on your vehicle
B. Slave battery
C. Earth on your vehicle
CHARGING THE BATTERY USING A CHARGER
- disconnect the battery,
- follow the instructions for use given by
the battery charger manufacturer,
- reconnect starting with the negative (-) terminal,
- check that the terminals and connectors are clean. If they are covered with
sulphate (white or greenish deposit),
disconnect them and clean them. The charging operation must be carried
out in a ventilated area away from
naked flames or any possible sources of
sparks to eliminate the risk of explosion and
fire.
Do not attempt to charge a frozen battery: it
must first be thawed to eliminate the risks of
explosion. If the battery has frozen, before
charging it have it checked by a specialist
who will check that the internal components
have not been damaged and that the
container is not cracked, which could mean
that there is a risk of a leak of toxic and
corrosive acid.
STARTING FROM ANOTHER BATTERY
- connect the red cable to the metal point
A then to the positive (+) terminal of the
slave battery B ,
- connect one end of the green or black cable to the negative (-) terminal of the
slave battery B ,
- connect the other end of the green or black cable to the earth point C on your
vehicle,
- operate the starter, let the engine run,
- wait for the engine to return to idle, then disconnect the cables.

Battery
The batteries contain harmful
substances such as sulphuric acid and
lead. They must be discarded in accordance
with the provisions of the law and must not,
in any circumstances, be discarded with
household waste.
Take used batteries to a special collection
point.
Before disconnecting the battery, you must
wait for 2 minutes after switching off the
ignition.
Never disconnect a terminal when the
engine is running.
Never charge a battery without first
disconnecting the terminals.
Close the windows and doors before
disconnecting the battery.
After every reconnection of the battery,
switch on the ignition and wait 1 minute
before starting to allow the electronic
systems to be initialised. If slight difficulties
are experienced after this, please consult a
CITROËN dealer . It is advisable to disconnect the battery
if the vehicle is not to be used for a
period of more than one month.
If the battery has been disconnected
for some time, it may be necessary to
reinitialise the following functions:
- the display parameters (date, time, language, distance unit and temperature
unit),
- the radio stations,
- the central locking.
Some settings are cleared and must be
reprogrammed, consult a CITROËN dealer .
