Citroen Nemo Towbars

Citroen Nemo Towing Specifics

The Citroen Nemo was first introduced in 2007 by the French manufacturer as a commercial van, offered with impressive towing capabilities. We will cover the towing specifics of this model below.

Citroen Nemo Electrics Kits

It is recommended that all tow bars fitted to a Citroen Nemo are done so with a dedicated electrics kit, rather than a universal electrics kit. A dedicated electrics kit not only ensures all modern features such as; trailer stability and parking sensors are functional but also helps to keep your vehicle's warranty unaffected.

We offer both universal and dedicated electrics kits for the Citroen Nemo towbars, but be aware that universal electrics kits can invalidate any manufacturer warranty your vehicle has and may also require a bypass relay.

Check your Citroen warranty for more information.

Bypass Relays

Tow bars for all the Citroen Nemo onwards models will require a bypass relay if universal electrics are fitted.

A bypass relay works by powering what it is you are towing through transferring power straight from the battery instead of taking too much current away from your vehicle.

Whereas a dedicated system works in harmony with your vehicle's ECU and all of its functions.

Coding

This is the coding of the ECU to accept the dedicated system, this updates your vehicles software to run smoothly with the new towbar. All Citroen Nemo vehicles made from 2007 will not require coding.

Coding is used to update your vehicles software in order for it to run coherently with the new towbar through the dedicated electrics.

Bumper Cuts

Depending on the towbar, Citroen Nemo vehicles may require a bumper cut. A bumper cut is when a fraction of the vehicle's rear bumper is cut in order to fit the towbar.

2011 onwards models have towbars that require visible, non-visible and no bumper cuts.

Nose Weight

Nose weight is the amount of weight pushing down on the tow ball, it is important not to exceed the nose weight set on the tow bar, failure to do so could damage the car chassis and/or tow bar mounting points. Nose weight varies depending on the towbar you choose and are displayed under each tow bar below.

For a Citroen Nemo vehicle, the nose weight is 60kg up to 75kg.

Towing Weight

Towing weight is the weight that a Citroen Nemo vehicle can tow safely, without any risk of damaging the vehicle. Towing weights are bar specific and displayed below each towbar.

For a Citroen Nemo vehicle made after 2007, the towbars have a towing weight capacity of between 1000kg and 1300kg.

You will need to check the towing limit for your Citroen Nemo vehicle model as it may not be able to tow up to the weight limit that the tow bar can tow.
