When towing
Distribution of loads
F 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 per formance. Above
1
000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10
% for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
For more information on Weights , refer to the
corresponding section.
Side wind
F 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.
F

T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the exterior
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.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes, 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 and the headlamp beam
height of your vehicle.
For more information on Adjusting the
headlamp beam height , refer to the
corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the
audible signal if a genuine CITROËN
towbar is used.
If the exterior temperature is high, it
is recommended that the engine be
allowed to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after
the vehicle comes to a stop, to facilitate
its cooling.

Invalid value during manual
operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly (selector
between two positions).Before switching off the engine, you can
engage position P or N to place the gearbox in
neutral.
In both cases, apply the parking brake to
immobilise the vehicle.
Stopping the vehicle
There is a risk of damage to the
gearbox:
-

i
f you press the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time,
-

i
f you force the movement of the
selector from the P position to
another position when the battery
is
flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when at
a prolonged standstill with the engine
running (traffic jam, etc.), put the
selector in the N position and apply the
parking brake.
If the selector is not in position P
,
when the driver's door is opened or
approximately 45 seconds after the
ignition is switched off, a warning
message appears in the screen.
F

R

eturn the selector to position P
;
the message disappears.
When driving on flooded roads or when
crossing a ford, proceed at walking
pace.
Operating fault
When the ignition is on, the lighting
of this warning lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal and a message in the
multifunction screen, indicates a gearbox fault.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel
a substantial knock when changing from P
to R and from N to R . This will not cause any
damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.

Stop & Start
Going into engine STOP mode
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition. For your comfort, during parking
maoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
Stop & Start does not affect the
operation of vehicle systems such as
braking, power steering, etc.
The Stop & Start system puts the engine
temporarily into standby - STOP mode - during
stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc.).
The engine restarts automatically - START
mode - as soon as you want to move off.
The restart takes place instantly, quickly and
silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.
With a manual gearbox
, vehicle
stationary, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel
and the engine goes into standby
automatically when you place the
gear lever in neutral and you release
the clutch pedal.
With an automatic gearbox ,
vehicle stationary, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel
and the engine goes into standby
automatically when you press
the brake pedal or place the gear
selector in position N .
Stop & Star t time counter
(minutes / seconds or hours / minutes) A time counter calculates the time
spent in STOP mode during a
j o u r n ey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is
switched on.

Lane Departure Warning System
System which, using a camera which
recognises solid or broken lines, detects the
involuntary crossing of longitudinal traffic lane
markings on the ground.
To provide safe driving, the camera analyses
the image then, if the driver's attention drops
and the speed is higher than 37 mph (60 km/h),
triggers a warning if there is an unexpected
change of direction.
This system is particularly useful on motor ways
and main roads.This system is a driving aid that cannot,
in any circumstances, replace the need
for vigilance on the part of the driver. The detection may be impeded:
-

i
f the markings on the ground are
worn,
-

i
f there is little contrast between the
markings on the ground and the
road surface,
-

i
f the windscreen is dirty,
-

i
n certain weather conditions: fog,
heavy rain, snow, shade, bright
sunlight or direct exposure to the
sun (low sun, leaving a tunnel, etc.).Activation / Deactivation
Activation and deactivation of the
function is done by pressing this
button.
The status of the system remains in memory
when the ignition is switched off.
Detection
If an unexpected change of direction
is detected, you are alerted by
this warning lamp flashing in the
instrument panel and an audible
signal.
No warning is transmitted if a direction indicator
is active and for approximately 20 seconds
after the direction indicator is switched off.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault, this
warning lam p flashes for approximately
10 seconds then switches off.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The indicator lamp in the button indicates the
status of the function:
-

O

n: the function is activated.
-

O

ff: the function is deactivated.

Operation
The alert is given by a warning lamp which
comes on in the door mirror on the side in
question as soon as a vehicle - car, lorry,
bicycle - is detected.
The following conditions must be met for this:
-
a
ll vehicles are moving in the same
direction and in adjacent lanes,
-

t
he speed of your vehicle is between 7 and
87 mph (12 and 140 km/h),
-

y
ou overtake a vehicle with a speed
difference of less than 6 mph (10 km/h),
-

a v
ehicle overtakes you with a speed
difference of less than 16 mph (25 km/h),
-

t
he traffic is flowing normally,
-

i
n the case of an overtaking manoeuvre,
if this is prolonged and the vehicle being
overtaken remains in the blind spot,
-

y
ou are driving on a straight or slightly
curved road,
-

y
our vehicle is not pulling a trailer, a
caravan, etc. No alert will be given in the following situations:
-

i
n the presence of non-moving objects
(parked vehicles, barriers, street lamps,
road signs, etc.),
-

w
ith vehicles moving in the opposite
direction,
-

d
riving on a winding road or a sharp corner,-

w
hen overtaking (or being overtaken by) a
very long vehicle (lorry, coach, etc.) which
is at the same time detected at the rear
in the blind spot angle and present in the
driver's for ward field of vision,
-

i
n very heavy traffic: vehicles detected in
front and behind are confused with a lorry
or a stationary object,
-

w
hen overtaking quickly.

Deactivation or activation of the system is done
via the vehicle configuration menu.The system will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being
towed or a bicycle carrier is fitted on
a towbar (vehicle fitted with a towbar
installed in line with the manufacturer's
recommendations). In bad or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are not covered with mud,
ice or snow. When reverse gear is
engaged, an audible signal (long beep)
indicates that the sensors may be dirty.
Certain sound sources (motorcycle,
lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger
the audible signals of the parking
sensor system.High pressure jet wash
When washing your vehicle, do not
direct the lance within 30 cm of the
sensors.
Deactivation / Activation
In the event of a fault, when reverse
gear is engaged, this warning lamp
lights up in the instrument panel,
accompanied by a message and an
audible signal.
Operating fault
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
