Towing a trailer
driving advice
distribution of loads
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.

be reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
