DRIVING
The parking sensors system can-
not, in any circumstances, replace
the need for vigilance and respon-
sibility on the part of the driver. VISUAL AND AUDIBLE
FRONT AND/OR REAR
PARKING SENSORS
System consisting of proximity sen-
sors, installed in the front and/or rear
bumper.
It detects any obstacle (person, vehi-
cle, tree, barrier...) located in front of
or behind the vehicle, however, it will
not be able to detect obstacles loca-
ted immediately below the bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a road-
works cone or any other similar ob-
ject may be detected at the start of
the manoeuvre but may no longer
be detected when the vehicle moves
nearer to it. The parking sensors are switched on
:
- by engaging reverse gear,
- at a speed below 6 mph (10 km/h)
in forward gear.
This is accompanied by an audible
signal and/or displaying of the vehi-
cle on the multifunction screen.
The proximity information is indicated by:
- an audible signal which be-
comes more rapid as the vehicle
approaches the obstacle,
- a diagram on the multifunction
display, with blocks which move
closer to the vehicle.
The obstacle is located in relation to
the emission of the audible signal by
the speakers; front or rear and right
or left.
When the distance between the ve-
hicle and the obstacle is less than
approximately thirty centimetres, the
audible signal becomes continuous
and/or the "Danger" symbol appears,
depending on the multifunction screen
version.
The parking sensors are switched
off
:
- when you exit reverse gear,
- when the speed is higher than
6 mph (10 km/h) in forward gear,
- when the vehicle has been station-
ary for more than three seconds in
forward gear.
Deactivation
)
Press button A
, the warning lamp
comes on, the system is fully de-
activated.
The system will be deactivated au-
tomatically when a trailer is being
towed or when a bicycle carrier is
fi tted (vehicle fi tted with a towbar
or bicycle carrier recommended by
CITROËN).

DRIVING
Reactivation
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 speed of the vehicle is
below about 6 mph (10 km/h), some
sources of noise (motorcycle, lorry,
pneumatic drill, ...) may trigger the
audible parking sensor signals.
)
Press button A
again, the warning
lamp switches off, the system is
reactivated.
REVERSING CAMERA (TOURER)
A reversing camera is activated au-
tomatically when reverse gear is en-
gaged.
The colour image is provided in the
navigation screen.
The space between the blue lines
represents the width of your vehicle
except for the door mirrors.
The blue lines represent the general
direction of the vehicle.
The red lines represent a distance
of about 30 cm beyond the edge
of your vehicle's rear bumper. The
audible signal becomes continuous
from this limit.
The green lines represent distances
of about 1 and 2 metres beyond the
edge of your vehicle's rear bumper.
Clean the reversing camera regu-
larly using a sponge and a soft
cloth.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Wheel for temporary use
Your vehicle may be fi tted with a
spare wheel which is different to
those on the vehicle. When fi tting
the spare wheel, it is normal to no-
tice that the wheel bolt washers do
not come into contact with the wheel
rim. The spare wheel is secured by
the conical tapering of the wheel
bolt’s shaft.
When refi tting the original wheel,
ensure that the wheel bolt contact
surfaces are clean and in good con-
dition.
Fitting a wheel
)
Fit the wheel on the hub, using
the centring guide. Make sure
that the contact surface between
the hub and the wheel is clean.
)
Screw in the bolts but do not fully
tighten them.
)
Lower the jack and remove it.
)
Tighten the wheel bolts, using
the wheelbrace.
)
Refi t the protectors on the bolts.
)
Return the ground clearance to
the normal position.
)
Ensure the tyre pressure is correct
and have the balancing checked.
Under-inflation detection
These wheels have tyre pressure
sensors. Repairs must be carried
out by a CITROËN dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.
Security bolts (according to
version)
Each wheel is equipped with one se-
curity bolt.
To remove it:
)
Remove the protector using tool 3
.
)
Use the security socket with the
wheelbrace.
If your vehicle is fi tted with a
spare wheel of a different size
to those on the vehicle, you
must not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h)
whilst using the spare wheel.
The wheel bolts are specifi c to the
type of wheel.
If the type of wheel is changed,
check with your CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop that the
wheel bolts are compatible with the
new wheels.
Take care to note down the code
number engraved on the head of
the security bolt socket. This will
enable you to obtain a replace-
ment security bolt socket from your
dealer.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
TOWING A TRAILER
Towbar suitable for the attachment
of a trailer or installation of a bicycle
carrier, 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.
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.
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, 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.
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.
)
If the warning lamp and
the STOP
warning lamp
come on, stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
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 tting of the
towbar is entrusted to a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Driving with a trailer places great-
er demands on the towing vehicle
and the driver must take particular
care.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section
for details of the weights and towed
loads which apply to your vehicle.
