Towing a trailer, ...

Driving advice

Cooling

Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F

To lower the engine speed, reduce your

speed.

The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.

Side wind

F Take into account the increased sensitivity

to side wind.

If the warning lamp and the STOP

warning lamp come on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.

Towbar suitable for the attachment of a trailer or installation of a bicycle carrier, with additional lighting and signalling.

Distribution of loads

F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the

heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.

Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.

We recommend the use of genuine
CITROËN towbars and their harnesses
that have been tested and approved
from the design stage of your vehicle,
and that the fitting of the towbar is
entrusted to a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by a CITROËN
dealer, it is imperative that it is
fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.

Driving with a trailer places greater demands
on the towing vehicle and the driver must take
particular care.

Your vehicle is primarily designed for transporting people and luggage, but it may also be used for towing a trailer.

Refer to the "Technical data" section for details
of the weights and towed loads which apply to
your vehicle.

Fitting roof bars

To fit longitudinal and/or transverse roof bars, visit your CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Maximum authorised weight on the roof rack: 60 kg.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the speed of the vehicle to the profile of the road to avoid
damaging the roof bars and the fixings on the roof.
Be sure to refer to national legislation in order to comply with the regulations for transporting
objects which are longer than the vehicle.

Braking

Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a long
mountain type of descent, the use of engine
braking is recommended.

Tyres

Check the tyre pressures of the towing

vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.

Lighting

F Check the electrical lighting and signalling

on the trailer.

The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a genuine
CITROËN towbar is used.

The GTW and towed load values indicated are valid up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned must be reduced by 10 % for
each additional 1 000 metres of altitude.
When towing, you must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) (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; if the ambient temperature is above 37 °C,
limit the towed load.

* For Russia only.

** The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit, if the GVW of the towing vehicle is reduced by an equal amount; warning,

towing using a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its road holding.

Identification markings

Various visible markings for the identification of your vehicle.

A. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on

the front right door pillar.

This number is engraved on the bodywork
near the hinge.

For access to it, open the right-hand door.

B. VIN on the windscreen lower

crossmember.

The number is on a self-adhesive label
which is visible through the windscreen.

C. Manufacturer's label.

This number is indicated on a self-
destroying label affixed to the centre pillar,
on the left-hand side.

The inflation pressures must be
checked when the tyres are cold, at
least once a month.

If the inflation pressures are too low,
this increases fuel consumption.

D. Tyre/paint label.

This label is affixed to the centre pillar, on
the left-hand side.

It bears the following information:
-

the tyre pressures, laden and unladen,

- the tyre sizes (including the load index and

speed rating for the tyre),

- the tyre pressure for the spare wheel,
-

the paint colour code.

The system is protected in such a way that it will only

operate in your vehicle.

eMyWay

01 First steps - Control panel

As a safety measure, the driver must only carry out

operations which require prolonged attention while the

vehicle is stationary.
When the engine is switched off and to prevent

discharging of the battery, the system switches off

following the activation of the energy economy mode.
