Towing device
Load distribution
F
Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. The maximum
towed load must be reduced by 10% for every
1,000 metres of altitude.
Use towing devices and their genuine
harnesses approved by CITROËN. It
is recommended that the installation
be performed by a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop.
If the towing device is not fitted by
a CITROËN dealer, it must still be
fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Important : for versions equipped with
the motorised tailgate with "Hands-Free
Tailgate Access" function, if a towing
device other than a genuine CITROËN
one is installed, it is imperative to
visit a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to recalibrate the detection
system: risk of "Hands-Free Tailgate
Access" function failure.
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid
functions are automatically disabled if an
approved towing system is used.
Observe the maximum authorised towable
weight, indicated on your vehicle's
registration certificate, the manufacturer's
label as well as in the
Technical data
section of this guide.
Complying with the maximum
authorised nose weight (towball)
also includes the use of accessories
(bicycle carriers, tow boxes, etc.).
Observe the legislation in force in the
country in which you are driving.
Vehicle equipped with motorised tailgate
with

function
To avoid unwanted opening of the tailgate

-
please deactivate this function in advance
in your vehicle's configuration menu,
- or remove the electronic key from the
recognition zone, with the tailgate closed.
