dealer or a
qualified workshop.
ne

ver leave the engine running in
an enclosed area without adequate
ventilation: internal combustion
engines emit toxic exhaust gases,
such as carbon monoxide. Danger of
intoxication and death. In very severe
winter conditions (temperatures
below -23°C), it is necessary to allow
the engine to run for 4 minutes before
setting off, in order to ensure the
correct operation and durability of
the mechanical components of your
vehicle, the engine and gearbox.
In wintry conditions, the warning lamp
will stay on longer. When the engine is
hot, it does not come on. In temperate conditions, do not
warm the engine up with the vehicle
stationary, but move off straight away
and drive at moderate engine speeds.

Driving

Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a long
mountain type of descent, the use of engine
braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a genuine
CITROËN towbar is used.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
as t
he fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F

T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
F

I
f the warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
