Front par king sensors
Operating fault

In the event of a malfunction of
the system, when reverse gear is engaged this warning lamp
is displa
yed in the instrument panel and/or a message appears in the screen, accompanied
by an audible signal (short beep).
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. In addition to the rear parkin
g sensors, the front parking sensors are triggered when an obstacle
is detected in front and the speed of the vehicle
is still below 6 mph
(10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in for ward gear, if no fur ther obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
The function will be deactivated automatically if a trailer is being towed or a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier recommended by CITROËN).


In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the sensors are not covered with mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear isengaged, an audible signal (long beep)indicates that the sensors may be dirty.
When the vehicle is moving at a speed
below 6 mph (10 km/h), cer tain soundsources (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger the audiblesignals of the parking sensor system.



Deactivation/Activation of the front and rear parking sensors

The function is deactivated by pressing this button.The indicator lamp in the button comes on.
Pressing this button again reactivates the function. The indicator lamp in the button goes off.


The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) indicates whether theobstacle is in front or behind.

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 theheaviest 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 towed load must
be reduced b
y 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, reduce your speed.
The maximum towed load on a long inclinedepends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.

Braking

To w i ng a trailer increases the braking distance.
To a v o i d o v e r h e a t i ng of the brakes on a long
mountain type of descent, the use of enginebraking is recommended.


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
t
he engine as soon as possible.
