DRIVING
PARKING SENSORS
This system indicates the proximity
of an obstacle (person, vehicle, tree,
gate, etc.) which comes within the
fi eld of detection of sensors located
in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (stake,
roadworks cone, etc.) detected ini-
tially will no longer be detected at
the end of the manoeuvre due to the
presence of blind spots.


Visual assistance
This supplements the audible signal
by displaying bars in the multifunc-
tion screen which move progressive-
ly nearer to the vehicle. When the
obstacle is near, the "Danger" sym-
bol is also displayed in the screen.

Audible assistance
The proximity information is given
by an intermittent audible signal, the
frequency of which increases as the
vehicle approaches the obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker
(right or left) indicates the side on
which the obstacle is located.
When the distance between the
vehicle and the obstacle becomes
less than approximately thirty centi-
metres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.


This function cannot, in any circum-
stances, take the place of the vigi-
lance and responsibility of the driver.



Rear parking sensors

The system is switched on by en-
gaging reverse gear. This is accom-
panied by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you
exit reverse gear.

DRIVING






Front parking sensors

In addition to the rear parking sen-
sors, the front parking sensors are
triggered when an obstacle is detect-
ed in front and the speed of the ve-
hicle is still below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are inter-
rupted if the vehicle stops for more
than three seconds in forward gear,
if no further obstacles are detected
or when the speed of the vehicle ex-
ceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
The sound emitted by the speaker
(front or rear) indicates whether the
obstacle is in front or behind.



Deactivation/Activation of the
front and rear parking sensors
The function is deactivated by press-
ing this button. The indicator lamp in
the button comes on.
Pressing this button again reacti-
vates the function. The indicator
lamp in the button goes off.



The function will be deactivated au-
tomatically if a trailer is being towed
or a bicycle carrier is fi tted (vehicle
fi tted with a towbar or bicycle car-
rier recommended by CITROËN).



Operating fault

In the event of a malfunction
of the system, when reverse
gear is engaged this warn-
ing lamp is displayed in the
instrument panel and/or a message
appears in the screen, accompanied
by an audible signal (short beep).
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.

In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered
with mud, ice or snow. When re-
verse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that
the sensors may be dirty.
When the vehicle is moving at a
speed below 6 mph (10 km/h), cer-
tain sound sources (motorcycle,
lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trig-
ger the audible signals of the park-
ing sensor system.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

Temporary use spare wheel
If your vehicle is equipped with a
spare wheel for temporary use only,
when fi tting this it is normal to ob-
serve that the wheel bolts do not
come to bear directly on the wheel
rim.
The spare wheel is secured by the
conical tapering of the wheel bolt’s
shaft.
When refi tting the original wheel, en-
sure that the wheel bolts and wash-
ers are clean and in good condition.


Fitting a wheel



)
Position the wheel with the aid of
the centring guide 3
.

)
Do up the 3 bolts by hand, then
remove the centring guide 3
.
Position the 4 th bolt.

)
Pre-tighten the wheel bolts, us-
ing the wheelbrace 4
.

)

Retract the jack 5
and disengage it.


)
Tighten the wheel bolts, using
the wheelbrace 4
.

)
Ensure that the tyre pressure is
correct.

Under-infl ation detection

Wheels with under-infl ation detection
have tyre pressure sensors. Have repairs
to them carried out by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop. The spare wheel
does not have a sensor.



Security bolts (alloy wheels)

Each wheel may be equipped with
one security bolt (depending on the
country of sale).
To remove it:


)
remove its protective cover us-
ing of the tool for removing the
chrome covers 2
.

)
use the security bolt socket 6

with the wheelbrace 4
.



Spare wheel dimensions

If your spare wheel has dimensions
different from those of the standard
vehicle wheels (identifi ed by a la-
bel), it is imperative to use the spare
wheel only temporarily, to drive
with caution, not to exceed 50 mph
(80 km/h) and to have the tyre re-
paired and the standard wheel refi t-
ted as soon as possible.


Tyre pressures

These are indicated on the label
on the front left-hand door pillar
(see "Technical Data - Identifi cation
markings").
The wheel bolts are specifi c
to each type of wheel.
If new wheels are fi tted, check with
your CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop that the wheel bolts are
compatible with the new wheels.
Make a note of the code number on
the head of the security bolt sock-
et. This will enable you to obtain a
replacement security bolt socket
from your dealer.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

Towbar suitable for the attachment
of a trailer with additional lighting
and signalling.
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 towbars and their har-
nesses that have been tested and
approved from the design stage
of your vehicle, and that the fi t-
ting of the towbar is entrusted to
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
If the towbar is not fi tted by a
CITROËN dealer, it is imperative
that it is fi tted in accordance with the
vehicle manufacturer's instructions.

Driving advice


Distribution of loads


)
Distribute the load in the trailer
so that the heaviest items are as
close as possible to the axle and
the nose weight approaches the
maximum permitted without ex-
ceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude,
thus reducing engine performance.
Above 1 000 metres, the maximum
towed load must be reduced by 10 %
for every 1 000 metres of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section
for details of the weights and towed
loads which apply to your vehicle.

Side wind


)
Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind.


)
To lower the engine speed, re-
duce your speed.
The maximum towed load on a long
incline depends on the gradient and
the ambient temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the
coolant temperature.


)
If the warning lamp and
the STOP
warning lamp
come on, stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.


Braking
Towing a trailer increases the brak-
ing distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes
on a long mountain type of descent,
the use of engine braking is recom-
mended.

Tyres


)
Check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended
pressures.


Lighting


)
Check the electrical lighting and
signalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a gen-
uine CITROËN towbar is used.
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
the driver must take particular care.

Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled,
its cooling capacity is not dependent
on the engine speed.
