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.
