When towing
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest 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
reducing
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.
For
more information on weights (and the
t
owed loads which apply to your vehicle) refer
to
the corresponding section.
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 the
S
TOP
warning lamp come on,
s
top the vehicle and switch off
the
engine as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of
e
ngine braking 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 and the hadlamp beam height
o
f your vehicle.
For
more information on adjusting the
h
eadlamp beam height, refer to the
c
orresponding
s
ection.
The
rear parking sensors will be
d
eactivated automatically if a genuine
C
ITROËN towbar is used.

This system indicates the proximity of an obstacle (pedestrian, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.)
w
hich comes within the field of detection of
s
ensors located in the bumper.
Certain
types of obstacle (stake, roadworks
c
one, etc.) detected initially will no longer be
d
etected at the end of the manoeuvre, if they
a
re located in blind spots in the sensors' field
o
f detection.
Parking sensors
This system c annot i n a ny c ircumstances r eplace t
he need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The system is switched on by engaging reverse ge a r.
This
is confirmed by an audible signal.
The
system is switched off when you come out
o
f reverse gear.
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an intermittent audible signal, the frequency of which i
ncreases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
The
sound emitted by the speaker (right or left)
i
ndicates the side on which the obstacle is located.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the
obstacle becomes less than approximately
t
hirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
c
ontinuous.
Rear parking
sensors
Visual assistance
This supplements the audible signal by d isplaying bars in the screen or the instrument
p
anel which move progressively nearer to
t
he vehicle. When the obstacle is near, the
"
Danger" symbol is displayed.

C4-cactus_en_Chap06_conduite_ed01-2016
Front parking
sensors
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) indicates whether the obstacle
is
in front or behind. The
system will be deactivated a
utomatically if a trailer is being
t
owed or a bicycle carrier is fitted on
a towbar (vehicle fitted with a towbar
installed
in line with the manufacturer's
r
ecommendations).In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered with
mud,
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
ensor system.
As
an
addition to the rear parking sensors, the
f
ront
parking sensors are triggered when an
o
bstacle is detected in front and the speed of
the
vehicle is still below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The
front parking sensors are interrupted if
t
he
vehicle stops for more than three seconds
i
n
for ward gear, if no further obstacles are
d
etected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of t
he system, when reverse gear is
e
ngaged the symbol for the button
c
hanges to alert mode and the
w
arning lamp flashes for a few
m
oments then stays on continuously.
A
message appears, accompanied by an
a
udible
signal (short beep).

Park Assist
This system provides active assistance with parking, detecting a parking space then controlling the steering to park in the space.
I t controls the steering while the driver manages the accelerator, brakes, gears and clutch (manual gearbox). During phases of entry into and exit from
a
parking space, the system provides visual and audible information to the driver in order to make the manoeuvre safe. It may be necessary to move
f
or wards and backwards more than once.
The
Park Assist system cannot in any
c
ircumstances replace the need for
v
igilance on the part of the driver.
The
driver must remain in control of
t
heir vehicle ensuring that the space
r
emains clear during the manoeuvre.
In
some circumstances, the sensors
m
ay not detect small obstacles located
i
n their blind spots. Changing
tyre sizes (out-size tyres,
w
inter tyres, ...) can inter fere with
t
he correct operation of the parking
a
ssistance system.
During
a manoeuvre the steering wheel
t
urns quickly: do not hold the steering
w
heel, do not place your hand between
the
spokes of the steering wheel and
t
ake care with loose and bulky clothing,
s
carves, handbags... There is a risk of
in
jury. For
entry into a parking space (parallel
p
arking) the system does not detect
s
paces which are clearly much smaller
o
r larger than the size of the vehicle.
This
"parking assistance" system
i
s activated automatically during
m
anoeuvres; it is therefore possible
t
hat a symbol comes on in the screen,
a
ccompanied by an audible signal,
w
ithout affecting the manoeuvre.The
selection of the type of manoeuvre
(
entering or exiting a parallel parking
s
pace) prevents a change to STOP
m
ode of Stop & Start.
In
STOP mode, this selection restarts
t
he
eng
ine.
The
driver can take control at any time by gripping the steering wheel.
