Load reduction mode
System which manages the use of certain
functions according to the level of charge
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates
certain functions, such as the air conditioning,
the heated rear screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.
Energy economy mode
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated automatically
the next time the vehicle is driven.
F
I
n order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, start the engine and
let it run for a few minutes.
The time available to you will then be double
the period for which the engine is left running.
However, this period will always be between
five and thirty minutes.
Switching to economy mode
Once this period has elapsed, a message
appears on the multifunction screen indicating
that the vehicle has switched to economy mode
and the active functions are put on standby.
A flat battery prevents the engine from
starting (refer to the corresponding
paragraph).
If the telephone is being used at the
same time on the eMyWay audio
navigation system, it will be interrupted
after 10 minutes.
System which manages the period of use of certain functions to conserve a sufficient level of
charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can still use functions such as the audio equipment,
windscreen
wipers, dipped beam headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc. for a maximum combined period of
thirty

minutes.
This period may be greatly reduced if the battery is not fully charged.

Towing a trailer, ...
Driving advice
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 ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind. 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.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a trailer or installation of a bicycle carrier, with additional lighting and signalling.
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 performance. Above
1
000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10
% for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
We recommend the use of genuine
CITROËN towbars and their harnesses
that have been tested and approved
from the design stage of your vehicle,
and that the fitting of the towbar is
entrusted to a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by a CITROËN
dealer, it is imperative that it is
fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Driving with a trailer places greater demands
on the towing vehicle and the driver must take
particular care. Your vehicle is primarily designed for transporting people and luggage, but it may also be used for towing a trailer.
Refer to the "Technical data" section for details
of the weights and towed loads which apply to
your vehicle.
Practical information

191
Fitting roof bars
To fit longitudinal and/or transverse roof bars, visit your CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.Maximum authorised weight on the roof rack: 60 kg.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the speed of the vehicle to the profile of the road to avoid
damaging the roof bars and the fixings on the roof.
Be sure to refer to national legislation in order to comply with the regulations for transporting
objects which are longer than the vehicle.
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.
