Stop & Start

This system puts the engine tempo-
rarily into standby during stops in the
traffi c (red lights, traffi c jams, etc...).
The engine restarts automatically as
soon as you want to move off.
Stop & Start reduces fuel consump-
tion, exhaust emissions and noise
when stationary.

Lane departure warning system


This driving aid warns you when you
unwittingly cross a lane marking.

Parking sensors (visual and
audible)

This system warns you if an obstacle
is detected in front of or behind the
vehicle.
Tyre under-infl ation detection

This system checks the pressure
of the tyres automatically while
driving.
Xenon dual-function directional
headlamps

This system automatically provides
you with extra visibility on bends.
This lighting is linked with the cor-
nering lighting which maximises the
illuminated area at intersections and
when parking.

Unclip the protective cover to gain
access to the priming pump.




HDi 140 and HDi 160 engines



)
Unclip the protective cover to gain
access to the priming pump.



Priming the fuel system

In the event of running out of fuel:


)
after fi lling (minimum 5 litres) and
removing the protective cover,
operate the manual priming pump,
until some resistance is felt,

)
operate the starter motor while
depressing the accelerator pedal
slightly until the engine starts. HDi engines make use of
advanced technology.
For any work on your vehicle, con-
tact a qualifi ed workshop that has
the skills and equipment required,
which a CITROËN dealer is able to
provide.
V6 HDi 240 engine with electric

In the event of running out of fuel:


)
after adding fuel, turn the ignition
key to position M
, wait for a few
seconds,

)
operate the starter motor until
the engine starts.
If the engine fails to start after se-
veral attempts, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop. If the engine fails to start at the fi rst
attempt, wait fi fteen seconds before
trying again.
If the engine fails to start after a
few attempts, operate the priming
pump again and then try to start the

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

Starting using another
battery


)
Lift the pins to remove the front
left headlamp cover (V6 HDi en-
gine).

)
Connect the red cable to the
positive terminal (+) of the fl at
battery A
, then to the positive ter-
minal (+) of the slave battery B
.

)
Connect one end of the green or
black cable to the negative ter-
minal (-) of the slave battery B
.
V6 HDi engine: the positive ter-
minal (-) is located under the red
cover.

)
Connect the other end of the
green or black cable to the earth
point C
on the broken down ve-
hicle.

)
Operate the starter, let the en-
gine run.

)
Wait until the engine returns to
idle and disconnect the cables.



Charging the battery using a
battery charger
The batteries contain harmful
substances such as sulphuric
acid and lead. They must be
disposed of in accordance
with regulations and must not, in
any circumstances, be discarded
with household waste.
Take used remote control batteries
and vehicle batteries to an autho-
rised collection point.
It is advisable to disconnect the
battery if the vehicle is to be left un-
used for more than one month. Do not disconnect the terminals
while the engine is running.
Do not charge the batteries without
disconnecting the terminals fi rst.
Do not touch the clips during the
operation.
Do not lean over the batteries.
Disconnect the cables in the re-
verse order to connection, ensur-
ing that they do not touch.

Before disconnecting the
battery
Wait 2 minutes after switching off
the ignition before disconnecting
the battery.
Close the windows and the doors
before disconnecting the battery.

Following reconnection of the
battery
Following reconnection of the bat-
tery, switch on the ignition and wait
1 minute before starting to permit
initialisation of the electronic sys-
tems. However, if slight malfunctions
remain following this operation, con-
tact a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Referring to the corresponding sec-
tion, you must yourself reinitialise:


- the remote control key,

- the glass panoramic roof blind,

- the GPS satellite navigation
system.



)
Disconnect the battery from the
vehicle.

)
Follow the instructions for use
provided by the manufacturer of
the charger.

)
Reconnect starting with the neg-
ative terminal (-).

)
Check that the terminals and
connectors are clean. If they are
covered with sulphate (whitish or
greenish deposit), remove them
and clean them.


The Stop & Start battery does not
have to be disconnected for charging.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION





TOWING A TRAILER,
A CARAVAN, ETC.

Towbar suitable for the attachment
of a trailer or caravan 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 tting 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 impera-
tive that it is fi tted in accordance
with the vehicle manufacturer's in-
structions.
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
the driver must take particular care.


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.


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 braking
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.
