PRACTICAL INFORMATION
-
TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC.
We recommend the use of original
CITROËN towbars and their har-
nesses that have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
your vehicle and that the fi tting of the
towbar is entrusted to a CITROËN
dealer.
If the towbar is not tted by a
CITROËN dealer, it is imperative that
it is fi tted using the electrical pre-
equipment installed at the rear of the
vehicle, in accordance with the man-
ufacturers instructions.
Your vehicle is primarily designed
for transporting people and luggage
but it may also be used for towing a
trailer.
Driving with a trailer subjects the
towing vehicle to more signifi cant
stress and its driver must be particu-
larly careful.
Air density decreases with altitude,
thus reducing engine performance.
Above 1 000 metres, the maximum
towing load must be reduced by 10 %
and so on for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
Driving advice
Distribution of loads: 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 ex-
ceeding it.
Tyres: Check the tyre pressures of
the towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pres-
sures.
Braking: Towing increases the braking
distance.
Lights: Check the electrical signalling
on the trailer.
Side wind: Take into account the in-
creased sensitivity to side wind.
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.
On the contrary, use a high gear to
lower the engine speed and reduce
your speed.
The maximum towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and
the outside temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load on a
steep gradient in high temperatures),
switching off the air conditioning
permits the recovery of engine pow-
er and therefore an increase in the
towing capacity.
If the warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
