128 V Towbar
We recommend you to have this device itted by a CITROËN Dealer,
who will be acquainted with your vehicle’s
towing capability and with the procedures necessary for install ing a safety item of this kind.
It is essential to install a CITROËN approved electronic unit when having a towbar itted, in order to prevent any
risk of malfunction or damage (risk of ire). S A F E T Y R E C O M M E N D A T I O N S
Towing (a caravan or boat etc.)
If the vehicle is climbing a steep
incline or the engine is overhea-
ting, certain functions become
unavailable (automatic gearbox
sequential control, air conditio-
ning).
Fuel supply cut-off
In the event of a serious collision,
a device automatically cuts the
supply of fuel to the engine.
The fuel warning lamp lashes,
accompanied by display of a mes-
sage.
To restore the supply:
- Switch off the ignition.
- Remove the ignition key.
- Check that there is no smell or leak of fuel.
- Insert the ignition key.
- Switch on the ignition and start the engine. Dimensions

Roof bars
Both for your safety and to avoid damage to its roof, your vehicl e is desi-
gned for the use of roof bars that are speciically tested and a pproved by
the CITROËN network.
To use the tranversal roof bars, disengage the four locking leve rs provided
for this purpose in the two pillars of each bar.
Slide them in their rails to the required position.
Lock the four levers in position.
Note: when the roof bars are not being used, position them as fa r back as
possible to reduce fuel consumption.
Respect the authorised load capacities.
For maximum loads that can be distributed on the roof bars, see: “General”. Removing and reitting roof
bars
- Remove the screw, along with
the itting and the two washers
at each location A.
- Bring the bars to the locations A , placing them correctly in the
slots.
- Slide the bars to the left hand side of the vehicle.
- Lift both bars to remove them.
- It is essential to reposition the
itting, screw and two washers at
each location A.
To reit, proceed in the reverse or-
der to removal.
Recommendations
• Spread the load evenly, avoid overloading one side.
• Keep heavy objects at the bottom of the load.
• Strap the load securely, and signal any overhanging load.
• Drive gently, the effect of side winds will be increased.
• Remove the roof rack or roof bars when not in use.

Tools
The toolkit is stowed in a housing
in the engine compartment.
1 - Jack
2 - Wheel brace and embellisher
hook
3 - Removable towing eye
4 - Central embellisher removing
tool for accessing the wheel
bolts (if aluminium rim). Access to the spare wheel
The spare wheel is housed in a carrier under the rear loor.
The wheel carrier retaining screw is located inside the vehicle,
close to the
tailgate lock.
Raise the plastic cover A.
Untighten the nut, using the end of the wheelbrace 2, until the wheel is
resting on the ground.
Keep feet and hands clear of the carrier and spare whee l to prevent
the possibility of trapping them.
Tyre pressures
These are indicated on the label located inside the driver ’s door pillar, see
“VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION” and “USER PRECAUTIONS”.

Removal
- If possible, place the car on irm, level ground. Engage the
handbrake irmly.
- Switch off the ignition and engage 1st or reverse gear depe nding
on the incline (for vehicles with automatic gearbox, select the
P position).
- Position the jack at 1 of the four jacking points on the underside of
the vehicle adjacent to the wheels. Using the wheel brace, extend
the jack until it touches the ground.
- To remove the embellisher, insert the hooked end of the wh eel
brace 2 through the tyre valve aperture and pull on the metal
retaining ring (if alloy wheel rims are itted, use lever 4 to remove
the small centre embellisher).
- Slacken the wheel bolts using the wheelbrace (for vehicles wit h
light alloy wheels, use the socket to remove the anti-theft b olt).
- Extend the jack until the wheel is a few centimetres off th e
ground.
- Finish undoing the wheel bolts and remove the wheel.
To reit
- Fit the wheel onto the hub, making sure that it is correct ly
positioned.
- Screw in the bolts but do not fully tighten them.
- Lower the jack and remove it.
- Fully tighten the wheel bolts, using the wheel brace.
- Reit the wheel embellisher, aligning the tyre valve apertu re with
the valve, then pressing it home around its circumference.
- As soon as possible, reit the original wheel with the punctu re
repaired.
- Ensure the tyre pressure is correct (see “Tyre pressures”) and check the balancing. C H A N G I N G A W H E E L
Never get under a jacked up
vehicle unless it is correctly supported by axle stands.
The jack is designed speciically
for your vehicle, do not use it for other applications.

MAKE SURE THAT THE TYRES ARE ALWAYS IN GOOD
CONDITION AND THE TYRE PRESSURES ARE CORRECT.
Refer to the pressures indicated on the tyre
pressure label on the driver’s door pillar.
See “Vehicle identiication”.
Warning
The wheel bolts are speciic to the type of wheel itted. If
the type of wheel
is changed, check with your dealer that the wheel bolts are co mpatible with
the new wheels.
Stowing the wheel
Secure the wheel in the carrier, valve uppermost.
Retighten the screw inside the boot, then put the plasti c blank A back in
place.
Stow the tools.
Wheel equipped with delation detection system
These wheels have tyre pressure sensors, have them repaired by a
CITROËN dealer.
Advice - Recommendations
To drive in safety, it is very important to make sure that the t yre pressures are always in conformity with the manu-
facturer’s recommendations. They should be checked regularly, every mo nth for example, systematically before
long journeys, not forgetting the spare wheel. These checks must be done when the tyres are cold as the pressures
increase as the tyre temperatures rise with driving.
Never reduce the pressure of a warm tyre.

133 V
Any repair or any change of tyre, on a wheel itted with
a sensor, should be carried out by a CITROËN Dealer.
The system may be affected from time to time by interference from radio transmissions on similar frequencies.
This function alerts you in the
event of a tyre being delated or
punctured. For this purpose, sen-
sors continuously monitor the
condition of the vehicle’s wheels.
This system does not absolve the
driver of the need to check the tyre
pressures regularly.
T Y R E P R E S S U R E S E N S O R S
The SERVICE warning
lamp comes on and a
vehicle outline is dis-
played, accompanied
by a message and a
sound signal.
The wheel(s) concerned will be
shown lashing on the vehicle out-
line. Check the tyre pressures as
soon as possible.
Under-inlation warning
The STOP warning lamp
comes on and a vehicle
outline is displayed, ac-
companied by a messa-
ge and a sound signal.
The wheel(s) concer-
ned will be shown lashing on the
vehicle outline. Stop the vehicle
immediately, avoiding any violent
actions on the steering wheel or
brakes.
Puncture Change the damaged wheel (whether punctured or substantiall
y delated),
have the tyre repaired as soon as possible, then check the tyre pre ssure
as soon as you can after that.
The wheel affected will no longer be detectable by the alert system if it is
in the boot or undergoing repair. The spare wheel will n ot be monitored by
the alert system.
The SERVICE warning lamp comes on and a vehicle outline is
displayed, accompanied by a message and a sound signal. The
wheel(s) concerned will be shown as absent on the vehicle out-
line. If you have not changed a wheel, this information i ndicates
a malfunctioning of the system.
Consult the CITROËN network to have the defective sensor(s)
replaced.
The delation detection system is a driving assistance function wh ich does
not absolve the driver from the responsibility to be vigilant, or from the
need to check the tyre pressures regularly (see “Vehicle identiication ”).
This system does not absolve the driver of the need to check the tyre
pressures on a regular basis (see “Identiication”), to ensure that th e vehi-
cle behaves as it should and to avoid premature wear on the t yres, espe-
cially when the vehicle is being subjected to heavy loads or d riven at high
speeds.
Do not forget to check the tyre pressure on the spare whee l.
