Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on,


accompanied by an audible signal
and a message in the instrument
panel screen, this indicates a fault
with the ASR system.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. Good practice
The DSC and ASR systems offer exceptional
safety in normal driving, but this should not
encourage the driver to take extra risks or
drive at high speed.
The correct operation of these systems
depend on observation of the manufacturer's
recommendations regarding the wheels
(tyres and rims), the braking components,
the electronic components and assembly
and repair procedures.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.Load inertia control
The true total weight of a commercial vehicle
can vary considerably depending on the load
carried. As a result, the centre of gravity of
the vehicle can move, both longitudinally
and in height.
All such variations have an effect on braking,
traction, the behaviour of the vehicle when
cornering and the tendency to overturn.
Load inertia control estimates the true
total weight of the vehicle by analysing its
behaviour under acceleration and braking.
This system then adapts the operation of
the DSC and ASR systems according to the
weight distribution in the vehicle. In critical
situations, your vehicle than remains more
securely on its intended trajectory.

Although one of CITROËN's main criteria
when designing your vehicle, the safety of
your children also depends on you.
For maximum safety, please follow these
precautions:
-

all children under the age of 12 or less

than one metre fifty tall must travel in
approved child seats suited to their
weight, on seats fitted with a seat belt
or
ISOFIX mountings,
-

statistically
, the safest seats in your
vehicle for the transportation of children
are the rear seats,
-

a child weighing less than 9 kg must

travel in the "rearward facing" position
both in the front and in the rear,
-

the passenger must not travel with a

child on their lap.
Installing a child seat at the front
rearward facing
When a rearward facing child
seat is installed on the front
passenger seat, it is essential
that the passenger's front airbag
is deactivated. Otherwise, the child would
risk being seriously injured or even killed if
the airbag were deployed. Forward facing
When a forward facing child seat


is installed on the front passenger
seat, leave the passenger's front
airbag activated.
cItrOËn recommends that children should
travel on the rear seats of your vehicle:
- rearward facing up to the age of 3,
-
forward
facing over the age of 3. The child seats function and the
passenger's front airbag deactivation
function are common to the entire CITROËN
range.
If the passenger's front airbag is not
deactivated, the installation of a rearward
facing child seat in the front is strictly
prohibited.

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.
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.
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
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.
These genuine towbars are compatible with
the operation of the rear parking sensors
and the reversing camera, if fitted to your
vehicle.
If this equipment is not fitted by a CITROËN
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.
Refer 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 CITROËN towbar fitted.
Refer to the "Technical data -
Identification markings" section.

Refer to the "Technical data -
Dimensions" section for more
information on the length (L1 to L4) and the
height (H1 to H3) of the vehicle. Maximum load on the roof, evenly
distributed: 150 kg, for all versions,
within the vehicle's weight limit (Gross
Vehicle Weight).
For reasons of safety and to avoid damaging
the roof, it is essential to use a carrying
system (roof bars or roof rack) that is
approved for your vehicle.
Roof bars can only be fitted to an H1 or
H2

height van, combi and minibus versions.
On a minibus, check for the presence of roof
air conditioning units. The carrying system must always be
secured to the fitting points provided on the
vehicle's roof: 6, 8 or 10, depending on the
wheelbase of the vehicle.
Observe the instructions for fitting and use
provided with the carrying system.
On all H3 height versions, the roof
cannot be fitted with a carrying system.
Observe in full the legal requirements
related to carrying outsized loads.

country.
Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle
is higher than that of the towed vehicle.
The driver must remain at the wheel of the
towed vehicle and must have a valid driving
licence.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground, always use an approved
towing arm; rope and straps are prohibited.
The towing vehicle must move off gently.
When towing a vehicle with the engine off,
there is no longer any power assistance for
braking or steering.
In the following cases, you must always call
on a professional recovery service:
-

vehicle broken down on a motorway or

fast road,
-

four-wheel drive vehicle,
-


when it is not possible to put the

gearbox into neutral, unlock the
steering, or release the parking brake,
-

Never unlock the device when a trailer or
load carrier is fitted to the towball.
Never exceed the maximum authorised
weight for the vehicle (the Gross Vehicle
Weight - GVW), the trailer, or the sum of the
two (the Gross Train Weight - GTW).
Observe the legislation in force in the
country in which you are driving. After use
For journeys made without a trailer or load
carrier, the towball must be removed and
the blanking plug inserted in the carrier. This
measure applies particularly if the towball
could hinder visibility of the number plate or
lighting.

Refer to your registration certificate and the vehicle's chassis plate.
In each country, it is imperative that the towed loads permitted by local legislation are complied with. For information regarding your
vehicle's towing possibilities and its gross train weight, contact a CITROËN dealer.
The maximum authorised speed is reduced when towing (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the performance of the vehicle, to protect the engine. When the ambient
temperature is higher than 37 °C, limit the weight towed.
In all cases, do not exceed the trailer weight or the maximum weight for the vehicle plus trailer (the Gross Train Weight or GTW) indicated.
Observe the towing limits of your vehicle.
These tables present the type-approved weights (in kg) according to the vehicle model and dimensions.
