Never drive with the parking brake applied   -   Risk   of   overheating   and  
d

amage   to   the   braking   system!
Do
  not   park   or   run   the   engine   when  
s

tationary   in   areas   where   inflammable  
s

ubstances   and   materials   (dry   grass,  
d

ead   leaves...)   might   come   into   contact  
w

ith   the   hot   exhaust   system   -   Risk   of  
f

ire!
Never
  leave   a   vehicle   unsupervised  
w

ith   the   engine   running.   If   you   have  
t

o   leave   your   vehicle   with   the   engine  
r

unning,   apply   the   parking   brake  
a

nd   put   the   gearbox   into   neutral   or  
p

N or P,
  depending   on   the   type  
o

f   gearbox.
Driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations and remain vigilant   whatever   the   traffic   conditions.
Pay
  close   attention   to   the   traffic   and   keep   your  
h

ands   on   the   wheel   so   that   you   are   ready   to  
r

eact   at   any   time   to   any   eventuality.
On
  a   long   journey,   a   break   every   two   hours   is  
s

trongly
 re
commended.
In
  difficult   weather,   drive   smoothly,   anticipate  
t

he   need   to   brake   and   increase   the   distance  
f

rom   other   vehicles. If
  you   are   obliged   to   drive   through   water:
-  
c
heck   that   the   depth   of   water   does   not  
e

xceed   15   cm,   taking   account   of   waves  
t

hat   might   be   generated   by   other   users,
-
 
d
eactivate   the   Stop   &   Start   system,
-
 
d
rive   as   slowly   as   possible   without  
s

talling.   In   all   cases,   do   not   exceed   6   mph  
(

10 km/h),
-
 
d
o   not   stop   and   do   not   switch   off   the  
e

ngine.
On
  leaving   the   flooded   road,   as   soon   as  
c

ircumstances   allow,   make   several   light   brake  
a

pplications   to   dry   the   brake   discs   and   pads.
If
  in   doubt   on   the   state   of   your   vehicle,   contact  
a

  CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.Important!
Driving on flooded
roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded r
oads,   as   this   could   cause   serious   damage  
t

o   the   engine   or   gearbox,   as   well   as   to   the  
e

lectrical   systems   of   your   vehicle.

Electronic engine immobiliser
The key contains an electronic chip which has a  special   code.   When   the   ignition   is   switched

s

tarting   to   be   possible.
This
  electronic   engine   immobiliser   locks   the

a

fter   the   ignition   is   switched   off   and   prevents  
s

tarting   of   the   engine   by   anyone   who   does   not

informed
  by   illumination   of   this

In
  this   case,   your   vehicle   will   not   start;   contact

Starting the engine
F With  a   petrol   engine,   operate   the   starter  m
otor   by   turning   the   key   to   position   3
without
  pressing   the   accelerator   pedal,  
u

ntil   the   engine   starts.   Once   the   engine   is  
r

unning,   release   the   key. F

F  
i
nsert   the   key   into   the   ignition   switch;   the  
s

ystem   recognises   the   code,
F  
u
nlock   the   steering   column   by  
s

imultaneously   turning   the   steering   and  
t

he key.
Wait until this warning lamp goes off in the i
nstrument   panel   then   operate   the   starter m

otor   by   turning   the   key   to   position 3
without
  pressing   the   accelerator   pedal,
 u

ntil   the   engine   starts.   Once   the   engine   is
 r

unning,   release   the   key.
If the engine does not start straight away,   switch   off   the   ignition.   Wait   a  
f

ew   moments   before   operating   the  
s

tarter   motor   again.   If   the   engine   does  
n

ot   start   after   several   attempts,   do   not  
k

eep   trying:   you   risk   damaging   the  
s

tarter   motor   or   the   engine.   Contact  
a

  CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified  
w

orkshop.
In
  wintry   conditions,   the   warning   lamp  
c

an   stay   on   for   a   longer   period.   When  
t

he   engine   is   hot,   the   warning   lamp  
d

oes   not   come   on. Never   leave   the   engine   running   in  
a

n   enclosed   area   without   adequate  
v

entilation:

In   very   severe   wintry   conditions  
(

temperatures   below   -23°C),   to   ensure  
t

he   correct   operation   and   durability   of  
t

he   mechanical   components   of   your  
v

ehicle,   engine   and   gearbox,   it   is  n
ecessary   to   leave   the   engine   running  f
or   4   minutes   before   moving   off.
In
  temperate   conditions,   do   not   leave  
t

he   engine   at   idle   to   warm   up   but   move

s

peed.

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
