Blanking cover
When towing, you must remove the blanking
cover in the front bumper as well as the bonnet
seal if fitted.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop for this.
Tyres
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling
on the trailer and the headlamp beam
height of your vehicle.
For more information on Adjusting the
headlamps, refer to the corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the
audible signal if a genuine CITROËN
towbar is used.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes, 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.
F To lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
F If the warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
