Eco-driving
Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the bottom   of   the   boot,   as   close   as   possible   to   the   rear   seats.
Limit
  the   loads   carried   in   the   vehicle   and   reduce   wind   resistance   (roof  
b

ars,   roof   rack,   bicycle   carrier,   trailer...).   Use   a   roof   box   in   preference.
Remove
  roof   bars   and   roof   racks   after   use.
At
  the   end   of   winter,   remove   snow   tyres   and   refit   your   summer   tyres.
Observe the recommendations on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in the   door   aperture,   driver's   side.
Carry
  out   this   check   in   particular:
-
 
b
efore   a   long   journey,
-
 
a
t   each   change   of   season,
-
 
a
fter   a   long   period   out   of   use.
Don't
  forget   the   spare   wheel   and   the   tyres   on   any   trailer   or   caravan.
Have
  your   vehicle   serviced   regularly   (engine   oil,   oil   filter,   air   filter...)   and  
o

bserve   the   schedule   of   operations   recommended   by   the   manufacturer.
When
  refuelling,   do   not   continue   after   the   3
rd cut-off of the nozzle to a
void
 
any
 
over flow.
At
 
the
 
wheel
 
of
 
your
 
new
 
vehicle,
 
it
 
is
 
only
 
after   the   first   1   800   miles  
(

3 000
 
kilometres)
 
that
 
you
 
will
 
see
 
the
 
fuel
 
consumption   settle   down   to  
a

 
consistent
 
average.

In bad weather or in winter, ensure that   the   sensors   are   not   covered   with  
m

ud,   ice   or   snow.   When   reverse   gear   is  
e

ngaged,   an   audible   signal   (long   beep)  
i

ndicates   that   the   sensors   may   be   dirty.
Certain
  sound   sources   (motorcycle,  
l

orry,   pneumatic   drill,   etc.)   may   trigger  
t

he   audible   signals   of   the   parking  
s

In
  the   event   of   a   malfunction   of  
t

he   system,   when   reverse   gear  
i

s   engaged   this   warning   lamp

displayed   in   the   instrument   panel   and/or   a  
m

essage   appears   in   the   screen,   accompanied  
b

y
 
an

Contact   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified  
w

orkshop.
Operating fault
The function will be deactivated a
utomatically   if   a   trailer   is   being   towed  
o

r   a   bicycle   carrier   is   fitted   (vehicle  
f

ecommended   by   CITROËN).
Deactivation / Activation of the
rear parking sensors

Towing a trailer
We recommend the use of genuine CITROËN   towbars   and   their   harnesses  
t

hat   have   been   tested   and   approved  
f

rom   the   design   stage   of   your   vehicle,  
a

nd   that   the   fitting   of   the   towbar   is  
e

ntrusted   to   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

ualified
 w
orkshop.
If
  the   towbar   is   not   fitted   by   a  
C

ITROËN   dealer,   it   must   still   be  
f

itted   in   accordance   with   the   vehicle  
m

anufacturer's
 i
nstructions.
Your
 
vehicle
 
is
 
primarily
 
designed
 
for
 t
ransporting
 
people
 
and
 
luggage,
 
but
 
it
 
may
 
a

lso
 
be
 
used
 
for
 
towing
 
a
 
trailer. Driving
  with   a   trailer   places   greater  d
emands   on   the   towing   vehicle   and   the  
d

river   must   take   particular   care.

Driving advice
Distribution of loads
F Distribute  the   load   in   the   trailer   so   that   the  h
eaviest   items   are   as   close   as   possible   to  
t

he   axle   and   the   nose   weight   approaches  
t

he   maximum   permitted   without  
e

xceeding it.
Air
  density   decreases   with   altitude,   thus  
r

educing   engine   per formance.   Above  
1 0

00 metres,   the   maximum   towed   load   must  
b

e   reduced   by   10 %   for   every   1 000   metres   of  
al

titude.
Side wind
F Take   into   account   the   increased   sensitivity  t
o   side   wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature   of   the   coolant.
As
  the   fan   is   electrically   controlled,   its   cooling  
c

apacity   is   not   dependent   on   the   engine   speed.
F
 
T
o   lower   the   engine   speed,   reduce   your  
s

peed.
The
  maximum   towed   load   on   a   long   incline  
d

epends   on   the   gradient   and   the   ambient  
t

emperature.
In
  all   cases,   keep   a   check   on   the   coolant  
t

emperature. F
 
I
f   the   warning   lamp   and  
t

he STOP
 
warning   lamp   come  
o

n,   stop   the   vehicle   and   switch  
o

ff   the   engine   as   soon   as  
p

ossible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o   avoid   overheating   of   the   brakes   on   a   long  
m

ountain   type   of   descent,   the   use   of   engine  
b

raking   is   recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check   the   tyre   pressures   of   the   towing  v
ehicle   and   of   the   trailer,   observing   the  
re

commended
 p
ressures.
Lighting
F Check  the   electrical   lighting   and   signalling  o
n   the   trailer.

d

eactivated   automatically   if   a   genuine  
C

ITROËN   towbar   is   used.
