Automatic rain sensitive
windscreen wipers
The windscreen wipers operate automatically,
without any action on the part of the driver, if
rain is detected (sensor behind the rear view
mirror), adapting their speed to the intensity of
the rainfall.
Activation
Switching offOperating fault
If an automatic wiping fault occurs, the wipers
will operate in intermittent mode.
Have it checked by a CITR
oËn

dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Vertical windscreen wiper
position
This position allows the wiper blades to be lifted
for winter parking, cleaning or replacement
without damaging the bonnet.
In the minute following switching off of the
ignition, any action on the wiper stalk positions
the wipers vertically.
To park the wipers after this has been done,
switch on the ignition and operate the wiper stalk.
This is controlled manually by the driver by
pushing stalk A to the "AUTO"
position.
This is controlled manually by the driver
by moving stalk A upwards, returning it to
position


"0" . It is accompanied by the indicator lamp
in the instrument panel going off and a
message in the multifunction screen.
It is accompanied by the illumination of this
indicator lamp in the instrument panel and
a message in the multifunction screen.
The automatic wiping must be
reactivated if the ignition has been off
for more than one minute, by pushing
stalk A downwards.
Do not cover the rain sensor, linked with
the sunshine sensor and located in the
centre of the windscreen behind the
rear view mirror.
Switch off the automatic wiping when
using an automatic car wash.
In winter, it is advisable to wait until the
windscreen is completely clear of ice
before activating the automatic wiping.
To retain the effectiveness of the flat
wiper blades, it is advisable to:
-

h
andle them with care,
-

c
lean them regularly using soapy
water,
-

n
ot use them to hold a sheet of
cardboard against the windscreen,
-

r
eplace them at the first signs of
w e a r.

Tyre under-inflation detection
System which automatically checks the pressure of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressures on the four
tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the four
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or more tyres. The under-inflation detection system
does not replace the vigilance or the
responsibility of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
road holding, extends braking distances
and causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous condition
(high loading, high speed, long journey).The inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure label.
See the "Identification markings"
section.
Tyre pressures should be checked
when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
stopped for 1 hour or after a journey of
less than 6 miles (10 km) at moderate
speeds).
Other wise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to
the pressures shown on the label.
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.

Safety

Rear parking sensors
Activation
This detects any obstacle (person, vehicle,
tree, gate, etc.) behind the vehicle, except
obstacles located just below the bumper.The system is activated as soon as reverse
gear is engaged, accompanied by an audible
signal. The proximity information is given by:
-

a
n audible signal, which becomes more
rapid as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
-

a g
raphic (according to version) in the
multifunction screen, with blocks which
become increasingly closer to the vehicle.
On completion of the manoeuvre, when you
exit reverse gear, the system becomes inactive.
An object, such as a stake, a roadworks
cone or any other similar object may be
detected at the beginning of the manoeuvre,
but may no longer be detected when the
vehicle comes close to it.
The parking sensor system cannot in
any circumstances take the place of
vigilance on the part of the driver.
System consisting of four proximity sensors,
located in the rear bumper.
When the distance between the rear of the
vehicle and the obstacle is less than thirty
centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous and the "da
nger" symbol appears
in the multifunction screen.

driving

132
You can activate or deactivate the system by
means of the multifunction screen configuration
menu. The system state is memorised when
switching off the ignition.
For more information on access to the parking
sensors menu, refer to " Vehicle configuration"
or " Vehicle parameters" section for your
multifunction screen.
Operating faults
If there is an operating fault, when
reverse gear is engaged this
warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied
by an audible signal (short beep)
and a message in the multifunction
screen.
Programming
The system will be deactivated
automatically when towing a trailer or
when a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle
fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier
recommended by CITR
oËn)
.In bad or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are not covered with mud,
frost or snow.

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.
