airbag, refer to Chapter 3, section 
"MENU". 
CHILD SEATS RECOMMENDED BY CITROËN
  CITROËN  offers a complete range of recommended child seats which are  secured using a 
three point seat belt  : 
The child seats function is shared by  
the entire  CITROËN  range. However, 
each individual model has its own special 
features.
 If your vehicle is fitted with this function, the 
passenger air bag must be disarmed using 
the trip computer MENU button. 
 If your vehicle is not fitted with the 
passenger air bag disarming function, the 
installation of a "rear-facing" child seat on 
the vehicle's front seat is strictly prohibited. 
 The passenger must not travel with a child 
on his lap.

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 1 000 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, ...).
