Accessories for Your Citroen Dispatch Van Second Generation (2007-2015)

Towing a trailer  
TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...  
For more information about weights,  
refer to the administrative documents  
(V5 registration document, ...) or to the  
"Weights" section of chapter 8.  
Distribution of loads  
Cooling  
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.  
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.  
Driving advice  
A towed vehicle must free wheel: gearbox in  
neutral.

Towing a trailer  
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the  
engine speed and reduce your speed.  
Tyres: check the tyre pressures of the  
towing vehicle (see the "Identification  
features" section of chapter 8) and of  
the trailer, observing the recommended  
pressure.  
Towbar  
We recommend the use of original  
CITROËN towbars and their harnesses,  
which have been tested and approved from  
the design stage of your vehicle, and that  
you entrust the fitting of this equipment to a  
CITROËN dealer.  
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant  
temperature.  
Good Practice  
Brakes  
If this equipment is not fitted by a CITROËN  
dealer, it is imperative that it is fitted using  
the electrical pre-equipment installed at the  
rear of the vehicle and in accordance with  
the manufacturer’s instructions.  
In certain cases of particularly arduous  
use (towing the maximum load up a steep  
slope in high temperatures), the engine  
automatically limits its power. In this  
case, the automatic cutting off of the air  
conditioning allows the engine power to be  
recovered.  
Towing increases the braking distance. Drive  
at a moderate speed, change down early  
and brake gradually.  
In accordance with the general instructions  
a reminder of which has been given above,  
we draw your attention to the risk linked with  
fitting a towbar or electrical accessory not  
recommended by CITROËN. Fitting such  
equipment could result in the failure of your  
vehicle’s electronic system. Please contact  
a CITROËN dealer for information before  
fitting this type of equipment.  
Side wind  
Sensitivity to side wind is increased. Drive  
smoothly and at a moderate speed.  
If the coolant temperature warning  
light comes on, stop the vehicle  
and switch off the engine as soon  
as possible.  
ABS/ESP  
The ABS or ESP systems only control the  
vehicle, not the trailer or caravan.  
See the "Levels" section of chapter 6.  
Rear parking assistance  
The assistance does not function while the  
vehicle is towing.  
Equipment  
Audio equipment, hands-free kit, speakers,  
CD changer, navigation, ...  
Regardless of the audio and telematic  
equipment offered on the market, the  
technical constraints linked with the fitting  
of equipment of these families of products  
mean that the special features of the  
equipment and its compatibility with the  
capacities of the your vehicle’s standard  
equipment must be taken into account.  
Please contact a CITROËN dealer for  
information before fitting such equipment.
