There is a fault with the engine
lubrication system. You must stop as soon it is safe to do so.
Park, switch off the ignition and contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Battery charge
fixed. The battery charging circuit has a
fault (dirty or loose terminals, slack or
cut alternator belt, ...).
The warning lamp should go off when the engine is
started.
If it does not go off, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

The temperature of the cooling
system is too high. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Wait until the engine has cooled down before topping-
up the level, if necessary.
If the problem persists, contact a CITROËN dealer or
qualified workshop.

Indicators
With the engine running:
- i n zone A , the temperature is correct,
-

i
n zone B, the temperature is too high;
this warning lamp and the central STOP
warning lamp come on, accompanied by
the display of a message and an audible
signal.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Wait a few minutes before switching off the
engine.
Coolant temperature gauge
After first switching off the ignition,
open the bonnet cautiously and check
the coolant level.
For more information on Checking
levels , refer to the corresponding
section.

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.

Coolant level
Check the coolant level regularly.
It is normal to top up this fluid
between services.
When the engine is hot, the temperature of the
coolant is regulated by the fan. The coolant level should be close to the "MA X"
mark but should never exceed it.
If the level is close to or below the "MIN" mark,
it is essential to top up.
A low coolant level presents a risk of serious
damage to your engine.
Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
Fluid specification
For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
this fluid must not be topped up or replaced
with plain water.
In wintry conditions, it is recommended that you
use an ethyl alcohol or methanol based fluid.
Screenwash fluid level
Top up the level when necessary.
The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might
be caught by the fan blades. When the engine is hot, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after switching
off the engine before carrying out any work.
To avoid the risk of scalding in the event of an
urgent need to top up, with a cloth around the
cap, unscrew it by two turns to allow the pressure
to drop.
Once the pressure has dropped, remove the cap
and top up the level.
To ensure that the measurement is reliable, the
vehicle must be parked on level ground and the
engine must be cold.
