-
the tyre pressures, unladen and laden,
the tyre specification, made up of the
dimensions and type as well as the load and
speed indices,
The maximum authorised nose weight
corresponds to the weight permitted on the
towball.
The engine characteristics are given in the
vehicle's registration document, as well as in
sales brochures.
-
the spare tyre pressure.
It also indicates the paint colour code.
When exterior temperatures are high,
the vehicle performance may be limited
in order to protect the engine. When the
exterior temperature is higher than 37°C,
limit the towed weight.
The maximum power corresponds to the
value type-approved on a test bed, under
conditions defined in European legislation
(Directive 1999/99/EC).
The vehicle may be originally equipped
with tyres with higher load and speed
indices than those indicated on the label,
without affecting inflation pressure.
For more information, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Towing using a lightly loaded vehicle can
adversely affect roadholding.
Braking distances are increased when
towing a trailer.

a speed of 62 mph (100 km/h) (observe
the local legislation in force).
