Operating fault
The Stop & Start system requires 
a   12   V   battery   with   a   special

All
  work   on   this   type   of   battery   must   be  
c

arried   out   only   by   a   CITROËN   dealer

In certain cases, such as the need to maintain a   comfortable   temperature   in   the   passenger  
c

The
  system   can   be   deactivated   at   any   time,  
o

nce   the   ignition   is   on.
If
  the   engine   is   in   STOP   mode,   it   then   restarts.
The
  Stop   &   Start   system   is   reactivated  
a

Driving on flooded roads
Before
  driving   through   a   flooded   road,  
i

Operation
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the fuel   filler   neck   of   your   Diesel   vehicle,   it   comes  
i

nto   contact   with   the   flap.   The   system   remains  
c

losed   and   prevents   filling.
Do not persist but introduce a Diesel type
filler nozzle.
Misfuel prevention (Diesel)*Mechanical device which prevents filling the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids the risk of e ngine   damage   that   can   result   from   filling   with   the   wrong   fuel.
Located
  in   the   filler   neck,   the   misfuel   prevention   device   appears   when   the   filler   cap   is   removed.
It
  remains   possible   to   use   a   fuel   can   to  
f

ill   the   tank.
In
  order   to   ensure   a   good   flow   of   fuel,  
d

o   not   place   the   nozzle   of   the   fuel   can  
i

n   direct   contact   with   the   flap   of   the  
m

isfuel   prevention   device   and   pour  
s

l ow l y.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be   different   in   other   countries,   the  
p

resence   of   the   misfuel   prevention  
d

evice   may   make   refuelling   impossible.
Before
  travelling   abroad,   we  
r

ecommend   that   you   check   with   the  
C

ITROËN   dealer   network,   whether   your  
v

ehicle   is   suitable   for   the   fuel   pumps   in  
t

he   country   in   which   you   want   to   travel.
If you have put in the wrong fuel for
your vehicle, you must have have
the tank drained and refilled with
the correct fuel before you star t
the

engine.
Fuel supply cut-off
Your vehicle is fitted with a safety system that c
uts off the supply of fuel in the event of an
impact.

(

e.g.:   "NO   START   IN   350 miles"   means   "Starting   will

A system that prevents engine starting is activated automatically from 650 miles (1 100 km) after confirmation of a fault with the SCR emissions control   system.   Have   the   system   checked   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop   as   soon   as   possible.
If

d

isappears   during   the   next   journey,  
a

While driving, this display appears every 30 seconds   while   the   fault   with   the   SCR   system p

ersists.
The

You
  should   go   to   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified

Driving advice
Distribution of loads
F Distribute  the   load   in   the   trailer   so   that   the  h
eaviest   items   are   as   close   as   possible   to  
t

he   axle   and   the   nose   weight   approaches  
t

he   maximum   permitted   without  
e

xceeding it.
Air
  density   decreases   with   altitude,   thus  
r

educing   engine   per formance.   Above  
1 0

00 metres,   the   maximum   towed   load   must  
b

e   reduced   by   10 %   for   every   1 000   metres   of  
al

titude.
Side wind
F Take   into   account   the   increased   sensitivity  t
o   side   wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature   of   the   coolant.
As
  the   fan   is   electrically   controlled,   its   cooling  
c

apacity   is   not   dependent   on   the   engine   speed.
F
 
T
o   lower   the   engine   speed,   reduce   your  
s

peed.
The
  maximum   towed   load   on   a   long   incline  
d

epends   on   the   gradient   and   the   ambient  
t

emperature.
In
  all   cases,   keep   a   check   on   the   coolant  
t

emperature. F
 
I
f   the   warning   lamp   and  
t

he STOP
 
warning   lamp   come  
o

n,   stop   the   vehicle   and   switch  
o

ff   the   engine   as   soon   as  
p

ossible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o   avoid   overheating   of   the   brakes   on   a   long  
m

ountain   type   of   descent,   the   use   of   engine  
b

raking   is   recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check   the   tyre   pressures   of   the   towing  v
ehicle   and   of   the   trailer,   observing   the  
re

commended
 p
ressures.
Lighting
F Check  the   electrical   lighting   and   signalling  o
n   the   trailer.
