Towing device

Depending on version, the vehicle is  
fitted with the necessary equipment to  
allow a towing device to be installed.  
To install a towing device, contact a  
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.  
Before any operation, ensure that the  
engine is off and the cooling fan has  
stopped.  
Load distribution  
Removing  
► 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. The maximum towable load  
must be reduced by 10% per 1,000 metres of  
altitude.  
It is essential to remove them when:  
– the outside temperature exceeds  
10°C.  
– recovery is in progress.  
– the speed is above 75 mph (120 km/h).  
Fitting  
Use genuine towing devices and wiring  
harnesses approved by CITROËN. We  
recommend having them fitted by a CITROËN  
dealer or a qualified workshop.  
If not fitted by a CITROËN dealer, they must  
still be fitted in accordance with the vehicle  
manufacturer's instructions.  
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid functions  
are automatically deactivated while an  
approved towing system is in use.  
For more information about driving with a  
towing device fitted to a trailer and associated  
with the Trailer stability assist, refer to the  
corresponding section.  
► Insert a finger into the notch in the upper part  
of the screen.  
► Pull towards you to unclip the unit.

Practical information  
Comply with the maximum authorised  
towable weight, as indicated on your  
vehicle's registration certificate, on the  
manufacturer's label and in the Technical  
data section of this guide.  
fittings such as shelves), but also the weight  
of all persons on board the vehicle, the  
amount of fuel (depending on version) and  
various equipment fitted on the vehicle.  
For optimal performance, the vehicle must  
be parked and loaded on level ground (avoid  
the following conditions: parking on a slope or  
straddling a pavement).  
Overload indicator  
The overload indicator is a driving aid and  
informs you that the maximum authorised  
weight has been exceeded; this may be either  
the gross vehicle weight (GVW) or the maximum  
authorised weight on either axle (front and rear)  
(GAWR).  
If using accessories attached to the  
towing device (e.g. bicycle carriers, tow  
boxes):  
– Comply with the maximum authorised nose  
weight.  
– Do not transport more than 4 conventional  
bicycles or 2 electric bicycles.  
When loading bicycles onto a bicycle carrier  
on a towball, be sure to place the heaviest  
bicycles as close as possible to the vehicle.  
Attaching a trailer to your vehicle may  
affect the operation of the system.  
The indicator does not relieve the user  
from their responsibility.  
Operation  
The weight on board your vehicle is measured:  
► When the engine starts, automatically.  
Even if you correctly measure the weight  
of the vehicle's load, any factor that may  
vary this weight (driver/additional passengers  
seated or taking on additional fuel) after the  
measurement may put the vehicle into the  
overload condition.  
Observe the legislation in force in the  
country where you are driving.  
Electric motor  
An electric vehicle may be fitted with a  
towing device.  
It is therefore possible to tow a trailer or  
caravan.  
Contact a CITROËN dealer or qualified  
workshop for more information and to obtain a  
suitable towing device.  
► When stationary, by pressing this  
button in the loading area. The system is  
then active for 5 minutes.
