HILL StA rt ASSIS t
This system (also called HHC - Hill Holder
  Control),   linked   to   the   dynamic  
stability

  control   system,   makes   hill  
starts easier and is activated in the
following

  conditions:
-
 
the
  vehicle   must   be   stationary,  
engine

  running,   foot   on   the   brake,
-
 
the
  gradient   of   the   road   must   be  
steeper than 5%,
-

 
uphill,
  the   gearbox   must   be   in  
neutral or in a gear other than
reverse,
-

 
downhill,
  reverse   gear   must   be  
engaged.
The Hill Start
a

ssist function is
a
  driving   aid   system.   It   is   not   an  
automatic

  vehicle   parking   function   or  
an

  automatic   parking   brake.
Operation
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal pressed,  from   the   time   you   release   the  
brake

  pedal   you   have   approximately  
2 seconds before the vehicle starts to
roll

  back   and   without   using   the   parking  
brake

  within   which   to   move   off.
During
  the   moving   off   phase,   the  
function

  is   deactivated   automatically,  
gradually

  releasing   the   braking  
pressure.

  During   this   phase,   the  
characteristic

  noise   of   mechanical  
release

  of   the   brakes   may   be   heard,  
indicating

  the   imminent   movement   of  
the

  vehicle.
Operating fault
Hill start assist is deactivated in the
following   situations:
-

when the clutch pedal is released,
-

 
when
  the   parking   brake   is   applied,
-

when the engine is switched of
f,
-
 
when
  the   engine   stalls.
If
  a   malfunction   of   the  
system

  occurs,   this  
warning

  lamp   comes   on  
accompanied

  by   an   audible  
signal

  and   confirmed   by  
a

  message   in   the   screen.   Have   the  
system

  checked   by   at   a   CITROËN  
dealer

  or   a   qualified   workshop.

Pull the parking brake lever up to immobilise   your   vehicle.
Check
  that   the   parking   brake   is   applied  
firmly

  before   leaving   the   vehicle.Pull
  on   the   parking   brake   lever,   only
with the vehicle stationary.
In the exceptional case of use of the
parking
  brake   when   the   vehicle   is  
moving,

  apply   the   brake   by   pulling  
gently

  to   avoid   locking   the   rear   wheels  
(risk

The

only
 
be used in dangerous situations, when
stopping

 
in
 
an

or
 
when
 
driving

 
in
 
unusual
 
conditions.
When
  parking   on   a   slope,   direct   your  
wheels

  towards   the   pavement   and   pull  
the

  parking   brake   lever   up.
There is no advantage in engaging
a
  gear   after   parking   the   vehicle,  
particularly

  if   the   vehicle   is   loaded.
If the parking brake is still on or has not been released properly, this is
indicated
  by   this   warning   lamp   which
 comes

  on   on   the   instrument   panel.
Automatic operation of hazard
warning lamps
When braking in an emergency, depending on the force of deceleration,
the  hazard   warning   lamps   come  
on

  automatically.  
They
  switch   off  
automatically

  the   first   time   you  
accelerate.
It

  is   also   possible   to   switch   them   off   by  
pressing

  the   switch   on   the   dashboard.releasing

Good Practice
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use  (towing   the   maximum   load   up   a  
steep

  slope   in   high   temperatures),   the  
engine

  automatically   limits   its   power.  
In this case,

the air conditioning is
automatically
  cut   off   to   save   engine  
power

.
tyres
Check

  the   tyre   pressures   of   the   towing  
vehicle and of the trailer

, observing the
recommended
  pressures.

towbar
We recommend the use of genuine CITRo Ë n towbars and their
harnesses, which have been tested
and
  approved   from   the   design   stage   of  
your vehicle, and that you entrust the
fitting

  of   this   equipment   to   a   CITROËN  
dealer

.
If
  this   equipment   is   not   fitted   by   a  
CITROËN

  dealer,   it   is   imperative   that  
it

  is   fitted   using   the   electrical   pre-
equipment
  installed   at   the   rear   of   the  
vehicle and in accordance with the
manufacturer's

  instructions.
In accordance with the general
instructions
  a   reminder   of   which   has  
been given above, we draw your
attention

  to   the   risk   associated   with  
fitting

  a   towbar   or   electrical   accessory  
not

  recommended   by   CITROËN.  
Fitting

  such   equipment   could   result   in  
the failure of your vehicle's electronic
system.

  Please   obtain   information   from  
the

  Manufacturer   before   fitting   this   type  
of

  equipment.

n acceleration after the vehicle has
been running for a prolonged period
at
  very   low   speed   or   at   idle,   you   may,  
in

  exceptional   circumstances,   notice  
the

  emission   of   water   vapour   at   the  
exhaust.

 
This
  water   vapour   does   not  
have any adverse ef

fect on vehicle
handling
  or   the   environment.
Battery
At the start of summer or winter, have your  battery   checked   by   a   CITROËN  
dealer

  or   a   qualified   workshop.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the style of driving, in particular for vehicles
which are used in town, over short
distances.
  It   may   be   necessary   to  
check

  the   thickness   of   the   pads,   even  
between

  services.
Unless
  there   is   a   leak   on   the   circuit,   a  
drop

  in   the   brake   fluid   level   indicates  
that

  the   brake   pads   are   worn.
Brake disc / drum wear
For information on checking the brake disc  /   drum   wear,   contact   a   CITROËN  
dealer

.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too great or there is a reduction in the
performance
  of   the   system,   the   parking
 brake

  should   be   adjusted,   even   between
 services.
Have

  the   system   checked   by   a   CITROËN
 dealer

  or   a   qualified   workshop.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly in accordance  with   the   manufacturer's  
servicing

  schedule.
An
 
access
 
flap
 
allows
 
replacement
 
of
 
the

 
filters.
The
 
carbon
 
filter
 
permits
 
continuous
 
and

 
effective
 
filtering
 
of
 
dust.
If
 
the
 
passenger
 
compartment
 
filter
 
becomes

 
blocked,
 
this
 
may
 
reduce
 
the
 
performance

 
of
 
the
 
air
 
conditioning
 system
 
and
 
generate
 
unpleasant
 odours.
W

In wintry conditions, snow chains
improve  traction   as   well   as   the  
behaviour

  of   the   vehicle   when   braking.
 The

  snow   chains   must   be   fitted  
only

  to   the   driving   wheels.  
They
 
must

  never   be   fitted   to   "space-
saver"
  type   spare   wheels.

force in your country on the use
of

  snow   chains   and   the   maximum

F
 
If
  you   have   to   fit   the   chains   during  
a

  journey,   stop   the   vehicle   on   a   flat  
surface

  on   the   side   of   the   road.
F
 
Apply
  the   parking   brake   and  
position

  any   wheel   chocks   to  
prevent

  movement   of   your   vehicle.

  is   recommended   that   before   you  
leave,

  you   practise   fitting   the   snow
