DRIVING
The parking sensors system cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the
need for vigilance and responsibility
on the part of the driver.





VISUAL AND AUDIBLE
FRONT AND/OR REAR
PARKING SENSORS
System consisting of proximity sensors,
installed in the front and/or rear bumper.
It detects any obstacle (person, ve-
hicle, tree, barrier...) located in front of
or behind the vehicle, however, it will
not be able to detect obstacles located
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 con-
tinuous and/or the "Danger" symbol
appears, depending on the multi-
function 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).

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

Towing your vehicle



)
On the front bumper, unclip the
cover by pressing at the top.

)
Screw the towing eye in fully.

)
Attach the towing bar.

)
Switch on the hazard warning
lamps on the towed vehicle.

)
Place the gear lever in neutral
(position N
on the automatic gear-
box).


Towing another vehicle



)
On the rear bumper, unclip the
cover by pressing:


- on the right (Saloon),

- at the bottom (Tourer).

)
Screw the towing eye in fully.

)
Attach the towing bar.

)
Switch on the hazard warning
lamps on the towed vehicle. Failure to observe this special con-
dition could result in damage to
certain braking components and
the absence of braking assistance
the next time the engine is started.
In the event of a fault or malfunc-
tion with the electronic gearbox
system, the vehicle may be immo-
bilised with a gear engaged. In this
case the front of the vehicle must
be lifted for towing.
When towing with all four wheels
on the ground, always use a towing
bar.
When towing with only two wheels
on the ground, always use profes-
sional lifting equipment.
When towing with the engine off,
there is no longer any braking or
steering assistance.

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.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION








ROOF BARS


The design of your vehicle requires
the use of roof bars that are tested
and approved by CITROËN, for your
safety and to avoid damage to the
roof and tailgate.
Regardless of the type of loading
equipment to be transported on the
roof (bicycle carrier, ski carrier…), it
is imperative that you add transverse
roof bars. Any securing or lashing to
components other than the roof bars
is strictly prohibited.


Recommendations



)
Distribute your load evenly, avoid-
ing overloading on one side.

)
Arrange the heaviest part of the
load as close as possible to the
roof.

)
Anchor the load securely and
draw attention to it if any part of
it is overhanging.

)
Drive gently, as the vehicle will
be more liable to the effects of
side winds (vehicle stability may
be altered).

)
Remove the roof bars as soon
as they are no longer needed.

Maximum load that can be
distributed on the roof bars
(for a loading height not
exceeding 40 cm; except bicycle
carrier): 80 kg.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt
your speed to the profi le of the road
to avoid damaging the roof bars
and the fi xings on the roof.
Please refer to national legislation
in order to comply with the regula-
tions concerning the transportation
of objects which are longer than
the vehicle.


Blanking cover

When towing, you must remove the
blanking cover in the front bumper
as well as the bonnet seal if fi tted .
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop for this.
