Ease of use and comfort
3Support for stowing rail

Supports for securing a stowing rail are available
above the trims, on each side of the vehicle.
Maximum load: 200 kg.
Side trim
The interior sections of the side walls are fitted
with loading protection trims.
12 volt socket

Maximum power: 180 W.
The connection of an electrical device not approved by CITROËN, such as a
USB charger, may adversely affect the
operation of vehicle electrical systems,
causing faults such as poor radio reception or
interference with displays in the screens.
Cigarette lighter



► Press and wait a few moments for automatic
triggering.
Courtesy lamps

If fitted to the vehicle, one or two courtesy lamps
are located above the rear and side doors.
They can be activated by:
– tilting the courtesy lamp (to the left or to the
right),
– opening or closing the rear or side doors.
This lighting will turn off automatically after a few
minutes if the doors remain open.
Reading lamps
They are located above each
row of seats.
Interior roof rack
This is a storage device located in the loading
area above the cab. Its capacity is variable
according to the height of the van (H2 or H3
type).
For safety reasons, do not install heavy
objects in the interior rack.

Driving
6Effective eco-driving saves fuel; accelerate
progressively, anticipate the need to slow down
and adapt your speed to suit the situation.
Indicate changes of direction well in advance so
that you are seen by other road users.
Take care
The tyres must be inflated to at least the
pressures indicated on the label, even over-
inflated by 0.2 to 0.3 bar for long journeys.
On flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage to
the engine or gearbox, as well as to the electrical
systems of your vehicle.


If you are obliged to drive on a flooded road:
► check that the depth of water does not
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves that
might be generated by other users,
► deactivate the Stop & Start function,
► drive as slowly as possible without stalling. In
all cases, do not exceed 6 mph (10 km/h),
► do not stop and do not switch off the engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as safety
conditions allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt about the state of your vehicle,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In case of towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.
Respect the maximum towable weights.
At altitude: reduce the maximum load by
10% per 1,000 metres of altitude; the density
of the air decreases with altitude and the
performance of the engine reduces.
New vehicle: do not pull a trailer before
having driven at least 620 miles (1,000
kilometres).
If the outside temperature is high, let the
engine idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the
vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.
Before setting off
Nose weight
► Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to the
axle and the nose weight (at the point where it
joins your vehicle) approaches the maximum
permitted without exceeding it.
Tyres
► Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
► Check the electrical signalling on the trailer
and the headlamp beam height of your vehicle.
If a genuine CITROËN towing device is
used, the rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the audible
signal.
When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill increases the temperature
of the coolant. The maximum towable load
depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature. The cooling capacity of the fan
does not increase with engine speed.
► Reduce speed and lower the engine speed,
so as to limit the heating-up.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
If this warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine as soon as possible.

Technical data
Engine technical data and
towed loads
Engines
The engine characteristics are given in the
vehicle's registration document, as well as in
sales brochures.
The maximum power corresponds to the value type-approved on a test bed, under
conditions defined in European legislation
(Directive 1999/99/EC).
For more information, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Weights and towed loads
The weights and towed loads relating to
the vehicle are indicated on the registration
document, as well as in sales brochures.
These values are also indicated on the
manufacturer's plate or label.
For more information, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
The GTW (Gross Train Weight) values and the
towable loads listed are valid for a maximum
altitude of 1,000 metres. The towable load must
be reduced by steps of 10% for each additional
1,000 metres.
The maximum authorised nose weight
corresponds to the weight permitted on the
towball.
When exterior temperatures are high, the
vehicle performance may be limited in
order to protect the engine. When the exterior
temperature is higher than 37°C, reduce the
towed weight.
Towing even with a lightly loaded vehicle can adversely affect its road holding.
Braking distances are increased when towing
a trailer.
When using a vehicle to tow, never exceed
a speed of 62 mph (100 km/h) (observe the
local legislation in force).
