Maintenance indicator
System which informs the driver
when the next service is due, in
accordance with the manufacturer's
servicing schedule.
The point at which the service is due
is calculated from the last indicator
zero reset. It is determined by two
parameters:
- the distance travelled,
- the time elapsed since the last service.
More than 620 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner symboli-
sing the service operations comes on.
The distance recorder display line
indicates the distance remaining
before the next service is due.

Example: 1 900 miles remain before
the next service is due.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates: 5 seconds after the ignition is switched
on,
the spanner is switched off ; the
distance recorder resumes its normal
operation. The display then indicates
the total and trip distances.
Less than 620 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service is due

Example: 500 miles remain before
the next service is due.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates:
5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the distance recorder
resumes its normal operation. The
spanner remains on to indicate that
a service must be carried out soon. Service overdue
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on,
the spanner fl ashes
to indicate that the service must be
carried out as soon as possible.

Example: the service is overdue by
300 miles.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates:
5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the distance recorder
resumes its normal operation. The
spanner remains lit .
The distance remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, depen-
ding on the driver's driving habits.
Therefore, the spanner may also
come on if you have exceeded the
two year service interval.

Cancelling the memorisation
With the tailgate in the intermediate
position, you can cancel the stored
position:

 Make a long press on push-but-
ton D . The system emits a long
audible beep.

 Release the push-button D . The
tailgate will return to the fully
open position at the next use.
Electrical protection of the
motor
If the tailgate is repeatedly opened
and closed in quick succession, the
motor can start to overheat and then
cut out, preventing opening and
closing of the tailgate.
Allow the motor to cool down for ten
minutes without opening or closing
the tailgate.
Closing in manual back-up mode re-
mains possible. To avoid risk of injury, make sure
that no one is in the vicinity of the
boot while opening and closing.
If the tailgate is carrying extra
weight (snow, bicycle carrier, etc.)
there is a risk of it closing under
this load. Support the tailgate or
fi rst unload the bicycle carrier or
clear the snow.
When using an automatic car wash,
don’t forget to lock the vehicle so
as to avoid any risk of motorised
opening of the tailgate.

* The rules for transporting children are specifi c to each country. Refer
to the current legislation in your
country.
GENERAL POINTS RELATING TO CHILD SEATS
Although one of CITROËN’s main
criteria when designing your vehi-
cle, the safety of your children also
depends on you.
For maximum safety, please follow
these precautions:
- in accordance with European regulations, all children under
the age of 12 or less than one

and a half metres
tall must
travel in approved child seats
suited to their weight , on seats
fi tted with a seat belt or ISOFIX
mountings * ,
- statistically, the safest seats in
your vehicle for the transpor-
tation of children are the rear
seats,
- a child weighing less than 9 kg
must travel in the "rearwards-
facing" position both in the
front and in the rear.

CITROËNrecommends that chil-
dren should travel in the rear seats
of your vehicle:
- "rearwards-facing" up to the
age of 2,
- "forwards-facing" over the
age of 2. INSTALLING A CHILD SEAT
USING A THREE POINT SEAT
BELT
"Rearwards-facing"
When a "rearwards-facing" child
seat is installed on the
front pas-
senger seat , it is essential that the
passenger airbag is deactivated.
Otherwise, the child would risk
being seriously injured or killed if
the air bag were to infl ate. "Forwards-facing"
When a "forwards-facing" child seat
is installed on the
front passenger
seat , adjust the vehicle’s seat to the
intermediate longitudinal position
with the seat back upright and leave
the passenger airbag activated.

CHILD SEATS FITTED BY MEANS OF THE VEHICLE SEAT BELT
In conformity with European law, this table shows you the possibilities for the installation of universally approved child
seats (a) using a seat belt, depending on the weight of t he child and the seating position in the vehicle.
(a) Universal child seat: child seat which can be installed in all vehicles using the seat belt.
(b) Consult the current legislation for your country before drivi ng with your child in this seat.
(c) Group 0: from birth to 10 kg. Shells and "car cots" cannot be i nstalled on the front passenger seat.

U: seat position suitable for installation of universally appro ved rearwards-facing and/or forwards-facing child seat.

U (R): As U , with the vehicle seat, which must be adjusted to the hi ghest position.

TABLE SUMMARISING THE LOCATION OF ISOFIX CHILD SEATS
In conformity with European law (ECE 16), this table shows you the possibilities for the installation of ISOFIX child seats
to seats in the vehicle fi tted with ISOFIX anchoring points.
For ISOFIX universal and semi-universal child seats, the ISOFIX size class, defi ned by a letter from A to G , is shown on
the child seat to the right of the ISOFIX logo.

IUF: Seat position suitable for installation of an I sofi x U niversal " F orwards-facing" seat attached using the top tether.

IL-SU: Seat position suitable for installation of an I SOFIX S emi- U niversal child seat, either:
- "rearwards-facing" fi tted with an upper strap or a support,
- "forwards-facing" fi tted with a support,
- a shell fi tted with an upper strap or a support.
To attach the upper strap, refer to the "ISOFIX mountings" para graph.

TOWING A TRAILER, A CARAVAN, ETC.
Towbar suited to the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional sig-
nalling and lighting.
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. If the trailer is not fi tted by
a CITROËN dealer, it is
imperative that it is fi tted
using the electrical pre-equipment
installed at the rear of the vehicle,
in accordance with the manufactur-
er’s instructions.
Driving with a trailer subjects the
towing vehicle to more signifi cant
stress and its driver must be par-
ticularly careful.
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
towing load must be reduced by 10 %
and so on for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section
for details of the weights and towing
loads which apply to your vehicle.
Side wind

 Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind. 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.

 To lower the engine speed, reduce
your speed.
The maximum towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and
the ambient temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to 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.
Tyres

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

 Check the electrical signalling on
the trailer.
The rear parking assistance will
be deactivated automatically if an
original CITROËN towbar is used.
