209Practical information
The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a genuine
CITROËN towbar is used.
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 exceeding it. Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine per formance. 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.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
Tyres
Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the recommended pressures.
Lighting
Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.
If the warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.

Installation of radio communication transmitters
Before installing on your vehicle any after-market radio communication transmitter with external aerial, we recommend that you contact
a CITROËN dealer. The CITROËN dealer network will give you the specification for transmitters which can be fitted (frequency, maximum power, aerial position, specific installation requirements), in line with the Vehicle Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive (2004/104/EC).
The fitting of electrical equipment or accessories which are not recommended by CITROËN may result in a failure of your vehicle’s electronic system and excessive electrical consumption. Please note this specific warning. You are advised to contact a CITROËN representative to be shown the range of recommended equipment and accessories.
Depending on the country in which the vehicle is sold, it may be compulsory to have a high visibility safety jacket, warning triangle and spare bulbs available in the vehicle.

6Safety
Trajectory control systems
Anti-skid regulation (ASR)
and electronic stability
programme (ESP)
The anti-skid regulation (also known as Traction Control) optimises traction to prevent skidding of the wheels, by acting on the brakes of the driving wheels and on the engine. The electronic stability programme acts on the brake of one or more wheels and on the engine to keep the vehicle on the trajectory required by the driver, within the limits of the laws of physics.
Activation
These systems are activated automatically each time the vehicle is star ted. They come into operation in the event of a grip or trajectory problem.
This is indicated by flashing of this warning lamp on the instrument panel.
Deactivation
In exceptional conditions (star ting a vehicle which is bogged down, stuck in snow, on soft ground...), it may be advisable to deactivate the ASR and ESP systems, so that the wheels can
move freely and regain grip. Press the "ESP OFF" button, located to the side of the steering wheel.
If this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel and the indicator lamp in the button comes on, this indicates that the ASR and ESP systems are deactivated.
Page 252 of 253
7Safety
Reactivation
These systems are reactivated automatically each time the ignition is switched back on. Press the "ESP OFF" button again to reactivate them manually.
Operating fault The ESP/ASR systems offer exceptional safety in normal driving, but this should not encourage the driver to take extra risks or drive at high speed. The correct functioning of these systems is assured providing that the manufacturer's recommendations are obser ved regarding: - wheels (tyres and rims), - braking components, - electronic components, - assembly and repair procedures. After an impact, have these systems checked by a CITROËN dealer.
If this warning lamp comes on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the multifunction screen, this indicates a fault with
these systems. Have the systems checked by a CITROËN dealer.
