Practical information
Towing with the RACIng version
Side wind
Braking
F
Take into account the increased sensitivity
to side wind.
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a long
mountain type of descent, the use of engine
braking is recommended.
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.
Tyres
F
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
F
To lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
Your vehicle cannot be fitted with a
towbar. The space occupied by the
sport diffuser prevents this.
The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
Lighting
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
F
Check the electrical lighting and signalling
on the trailer.
F
If the warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a genuine
CITROËN towbar is used.
