Recommendations for heating, ventilation and air conditioning
In order for these systems to be fully
effective, follow the operation and
maintenance guidelines below:
F
T
o ensure that the air is distributed
evenly, keep the external air intake
grilles at the base of the windscreen, the
nozzles, the vents, the air outlets and
the air extractor located in the back free
from obstructions.
F

O
perate the air conditioning system for
at least 5 to 10 minutes, once or twice a
month to keep it in per fect working order.
F

E
nsure that the passenger compartment
filter is in good condition and have the
filter elements replaced regularly.
We recommend the use of a combined
passenger compartment filter. Thanks to its special active additive, it contributes
to the purification of the air breathed by
the occupants and the cleanliness of the
passenger compartment (reduction of
allergic symptoms, bad odours and greasy
deposits).
F

T
o ensure the correct operation of the
air conditioning system, you are also
advised to have it checked regularly as
recommended in the maintenance and
warranty guide.
F

I
f the system does not produce cold
air, switch it off and contact a
CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
When towing the maximum load on a steep
gradient in high temperatures, switching off
the air conditioning increases the available
engine power and so improves the towing
ability. If after an extended stop in sunshine,
the interior temperature is very
high, first ventilate the passenger
compartment for a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
The air conditioning system does not
contain chlorine and does not present
any danger to the ozone layer.
The condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge of
water under the vehicle which is per fectly
normal.
Stop & Star t
The heating and air conditioning systems
only work when the engine is running.
To maintain a comfortable temperature
in the passenger compartment, you can
temporarily deactivate the Stop & Start
system.
For more information on Stop & Star t , ,
refer to the corresponding section.

Safety

139
Towing a trailer
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it may
also be used for towing a trailer.We recommend the use of genuine
CITROËN tow-bars and their harnesses
that have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle, and that
the fitting of the tow-bar is entrusted to a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
If the tow-bar is not fitted by a CITROËN
dealer, it must still be fitted in accordance
with the vehicle manufacturer's
instructions. Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.
For more information on Driving advice
,
particularly when towing, refer to the
corresponding section.
Please respect the maximum authorised
towable weights indicated on the
registration certificate or in your vehicle’s
technical data.
Very cold climate
screen(s)
(Depending on the country of sale.)
Removable device(s) which prevent snow
accumulating at the radiator cooling fan.
Depending on the version, you have one or two
screens.
Fitting
F Place the very cold climate screen in front of the front bumper.
F

P
ress around its edge to engage its fixing
clips one by one.
Removing
F Use a screwdriver as a lever to release each of the fixings of each screen in turn.
Do not forget to remove the very cold
climate screen (or screens) in case of:
-

t
he ambient temperature exceeds
10°C,
-
w

hen towing,
-

S
peed above 75 mph (120 km/h).
Observe the legislation in force in the
country in which you are driving. For more information on Weights
(and the
towed loads which apply to your vehicle)
refer to the corresponding section.

Practical information

154
Spare wheel
Procedure for replacing a damaged wheel with the spare wheel, using the tools provided with the vehicle.
Access to the tools
The tools are installed in the boot under the
f l o o r.
To gain access to it:
F
O
pen the boot.
F

L
ift the floor and remove it.
F

R
emove the storage box containing the
tools.
List of toolsThese tools are specific to your vehicle and
may vary according to the level of equipment.
Do not use them for any purpose other than
those detailed below.
1 Wheel wrench.
For removing the hub cap and removing
the wheel bolts.
2 Jack with built-in handle.
Used to raise the vehicle.
3 Wheel bolt cover removal tool.
Removes the wheel bolt covers on alloy
wheels.
4 Towing eye.
For more information on Towing the vehicle ,
refer to the corresponding section.
The jack must only be used to change
a wheel with a damaged or punctured tyre.
The jack does not require any
maintenance.
The jack meets European standards,
as defined in the Machinery Directive
2006/42/EC.
In the event of a breakdown

159
F Remove the bolts and store them in a clean place.
F

R
emove the wheel. Stowing the damaged wheel
The damaged wheel can be stowed under
the floor, in the housing for the standard
spare wheel.
To stow an alloy wheel, first remove the
hub cap from the middle of the wheel so
that the fastening device (nut and bolt) can
be put in place.
In the case of a "space-saver" type spare
wheel, the damaged wheel cannot be
stowed under the floor. It must be stowed
in the boot; use a cover to protect the
inside of the boot.
Fitting a wheel
Fastening the spare wheel
If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels,
when tightening the bolts on fitting, it is
normal to notice that the washers do not
come into contact with the spare wheel.
The wheel is secured by the conical
contact of each bolt.
After changing a wheel
Do not exceed 50
mph (80 km/h) when
using a "space-saver" type spare wheel.
Have the tightening of the bolts and the
pressure of the spare wheel checked by
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay.
Have the punctured wheel repaired and
reinstall it on the vehicle as soon as
possible.

(braking, transmission...) and the absence
of braking assistance the next time the
engine is started.
F

U
nlock the steering by turning the ignition
key one notch and release the parking
brake.

In the event of a breakdown

179
Engines and
specifications
The engine specifications (displacement, max.
power, max. speed, energy, CO
2 emissions,
etc.) associated with your vehicle are
mentioned in the registration certificate, and in
the commercial documents.
These characteristics correspond to the values
type-approved on a test bed, under conditions
defined in European legislation (Directive
1999/99/EC).
For more information, contact a
CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Weights and towed
loads
The weights and towed loads relating to your
vehicle are stated in the registration certificate,
and in the sales documentation.
These values are also shown on the
manufacturer's nameplate or label.
For more information, contact a
CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
The mass in working order is equal to the
weight when empty + driver (75 kg).
The GTW values and the towable loads
listed are valid for a maximum altitude of
1,000


additional metres.
The weight of the braked trailer can be
increased, within the GTW limit, if the GV W
of the towing vehicle is reduced by an equal
amount.
The recommended nose weight corresponds
to the weight permitted on the tow-bar
(dismantlable with or without a tool).
GV W: Gross vehicle weight, the maximum
authorised vehicle weight.
GT W: Gross train weight High ambient temperatures may result
in a reduction in the per formance of the
vehicle to protect the engine. When the
ambient temperature is above 37°C, limit
the weight towed.
Towing with a towing vehicle which is only
slightly laden may negatively affect its
handling.
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not
exceed 62 mph (100 km/h) (comply with
the legislation in force in your country).
When the ambient temperature is high,
leaving the engine running for 1 to
2
minutes after stopping the vehicle to
allow it to cool is recommended.
