driving advice
Good practice
distribution of loads: 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.
If the coolant temperature
ABS: the system only controls the vehicle,
not the trailer.
warning lamp comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
rear parking sensors: the system is
deactivated while the vehicle is towing with a
genuine CITROËN towbar fitted.
Refer to the "Checks - Levels and
checks" section.
cooling: towing a trailer on a slope
increases the coolant temperature.
Fitting a towbar
tyres: check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing
the recommended pressures.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on the
engine speed.
We recommend the use of genuine
CITROËN towbars and their harnesses,
which have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle and that
the fitting of this equipment is entrusted to a
CITROËN dealer.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the
engine speed and reduce your speed.
Refer to the "Technical data -
Identification markings" section.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
These genuine towbars are compatible with
the operation of the rear parking sensors
and the reversing camera, if fitted to your
vehicle.
Brakes: towing increases the braking
distance. Drive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake gradually.
If this equipment is not fitted by a CITROËN
dealer, it must be fitted in line with the
manufacturer's instructions.
Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased. Drive smoothly and at a
moderate speed.
