PRACTICAL INFORMATION
If the telephone is being used
at the same time on the MyWay
audio navigation system, it will
be interrupted after 10 minutes. A fl a t b a t t e r y p r e v e n t s t h e e n g i n e
from starting (refer to the corre-
s p o n d i n g p a r a g r a p h ) .
ENERGY ECONOMY MODE
System which manages the period of
use of certain functions to conserve a
s u f fi c i e n t l e v e l o f c h a r g e i n t h e b a t t e r y .
After the engine has stopped, you can
still use functions such as the audio
equipment, windscreen wipers, dipped
headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc. for a maxi-
mum combined period ofthirty minutes.
Switching to economy mode
Once this period has elapsed, a message ap-
pears on the multifunction screen indicating
that the vehicle has switched to economy mode
and the active functions are put on standby.
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated auto-
matically the next time the vehicle is
driven.
In order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, start the en-
gine and let it run for a few minutes.
The time available to you will then be dou-
ble the period for which the engine is left
running. However, this period will always
b e b e t w e e n fi v e a n d t h i r t y m i n u t e s .

centre of the windscreen.
Removing a front or rear wiper
blade
Raise the corresponding wiper arm.
Unclip the wiper blade and remove it.
Fitting a front or rear wiper blade
At the front, check the size of the
wiper blade as the shorter blade is
fi t t e d o n t h e r i g h t - h a n d s i d e o f t h e
vehicle.
Put the corresponding new wiper
blade in place and clip it.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Failure to observe this special
condition could result in damage
to certain braking components
and the absence of braking as-
sistance the next time the engine
is started. When towing with all four wheels
on the ground, always use a
towing bar.
When towing with only two wheels
on the ground, always use profes-
sional lifting equipment.
When towing with the engine off,
there is no longer any assistance
for braking or steering.
TOWING THE VEHICLE
Procedure for having your vehicle towed
or for towing another vehicle using a re-
movable towing eye.
Access to the tools
The towing eye is installed in the boot
u n d e r t h e fl o o r .
T o g a i n a c c e s s t o i t :
open the boot,
r a i s e t h e fl o o r ,
remove the polystyrene storage box,
remove the towing eye from the
holder. Towing your vehicle
On the front bumper, unclip the cover
by pressing at the bottom.
Screw the towing eye in fully.
Install the towing bar.
Switch on the hazard warning lamps

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
We recommend the use of genu-
ine CITROËN towbars and their
harnesses that have been tested
and approved from the design
stage of your vehicle, and that
t h e fi t t i n g o f t h e t o w b a r i s e n -
trusted to a CITROËN dealer.
I f t h e t r a i l e r i s n o t fi t t e d b y a
CITROËN dealer, it is imperative
t h a t i t i s fi t t e d u s i n g t h e e l e c t r i -
cal pre-equipment installed at
the rear of the vehicle, in accord-
ance with the manufacturer's in-
structions.
TOWING A TRAILER,
A CARAVAN, ETC.
The rear parking assistance will
be deactivated automatically if
a genuine CITROËN towbar is
used.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional lighting
and signalling.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer.
Driving with a trailer subjects the towing
v e h i c l e t o m o r e s i g n i fi c a n t s t r e s s a n d i t s
driver must be particularly careful.
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 performance. 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.
If the warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come
on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as
soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
Tyres
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
Check the electrical signalling on
the trailer.
