Citroen C4: Towing device

Citroen C4 (C41) 2020-2025 Owner's Manual / Practical information / Towing device

Load distribution

► 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 towable load must be reduced by 10% per 1,000 metres of altitude.

Use genuine towing devices and wiring harnesses approved by CITROËN. We recommend having them fitted by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

If not fitted by a CITROËN dealer, they must still be fitted in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's instructions.

Certain driving or manoeuvring aid functions are automatically deactivated while an approved towing system is in use.

Comply with the maximum authorised towable weight, as indicated on your vehicle's registration certificate, on the manufacturer's label and in the Technical data section of this guide.

If using accessories attached to the towing device (e.g. bicycle carriers, tow boxes):

- Comply with the maximum authorised nose weight.

- Do not transport more than 4 conventional bicycles or 2 electric bicycles.

When loading bicycles onto a bicycle carrier on a towball, be sure to place the heaviest bicycles as close as possible to the vehicle.

Observe the legislation in force in the country where you are driving.

Electric vehicles

An electric vehicle may be fitted with a towing device.

However, it is not possible to tow a trailer or caravan.

The towing device should only be used for the installation of a bicycle carrier.
