F To deactivate the system, press this button a
gain; the warning lamp goes off.
The
state of the system remains in memory on
s
witching off the ignition.
Operating fault
The system is automatically deactivated when towing with a towbar approved by
CIT
ROËN. The
system may suffer temporary
i
nterference in certain weather
conditions(rain,
h
ail...).
In particular, driving on a wet sur face
o
r moving from a dry area to a wet area
c
an cause false alerts (for example, the
p
resence of a fog of water droplets in
t
he blind spot angle is interpreted as a
v
ehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are not covered by mud, ice
o
r snow.
Take care not to cover the warning zone
i
n the door mirrors or the detection
z
ones on the front and rear bumpers
w
ith adhesive labels or other objects;
t
hey may hamper the correct operation o
f the system.
In the event of a fault, the warning lamp in the
b
utton flashes then goes off.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
q
ualified
w
orkshop.

In addition to the rear parking sensors, the front parking sensors are triggered when an obstacle i
s detected in front and the speed of the vehicle is
still
below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The
front parking sensors are interrupted if the
v
ehicle stops for more than three seconds in
f
or ward gear, if no further obstacles are detected
o
r when the speed of the vehicle exceeds 6 mph
(
10 km/h).
Front parking sensors
Deactivation/Activation of the
front and rear parking sensors
The function is deactivated by pressing this button. The indicator lamp in the button
comes
on.
Pressing
this button again reactivates the
f
unction. The indicator lamp in the button
goes
off.
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the system, when reverse gear
i
s engaged this warning lamp is
d
isplayed in the instrument panel
a
nd/or a message appears in the
s
creen, accompanied by an audible
s
ignal (short beep).
Contact a CITR
oËn
dealer or a
qualified
w
orkshop.
The
sound
emitted
by
the
speaker
(front
or
r
ear)
indicates
whether
the
obstacle
is
in
front
o
r
behind. The function will be deactivated
automatically
if
a
trailer
is
being
towed
o
r
a
bicycle
carrier
is
fitted
(vehicle
f
itted with a towbar or bicycle carrier
recommended
by
CITROËN). In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered with
mud,
ice or snow. When reverse gear is
e
ngaged, an audible signal (long beep)
i
ndicates that the sensors may be dirty.
Certain
sound sources (motorcycle,
l
orry,
pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger
t
he
audible signals of the parking
s
ensor system.

Fitting roof bars
For safety reasons and to avoid damaging the roof, it is essential to use the transverse bars a
pproved for your vehicle.
When
fitting roof bars, use only the four fixing
p
oints located in the roof frame. The points are
m
asked by the vehicle doors when closed.
The
roof bar fixings include a stud to be fitted to
t
he hole at each fixing point.
Observe
the fitting instructions and the
c
onditions of use in the guide supplied with the
b
ars. Do
not forget to remove the very cold
c
limate screen when:
-
t
he ambient temperature exceeds
1
0 °C,
-
tow
ing,
-
d
riving at speeds above 75 mph
(
120 km/h).
Maximum
load distributed over the roof
b
ars, for a load height not exceeding
4
0 cm (except bicycle carriers):
-
f
or roof bars with pads at 90 mm:
5
0 kg,
-
f
or roof bars with pads at 15 0
mm:

Towing a trailer
Your vehicle is primarily designed for transporting people and luggage, but it may
a
lso be used for towing a trailer.
Driving
with a trailer places greater demands
o
n the towing vehicle and the driver must take
par
ticular
c
are.Driving advice
Distribution of loads
F distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to
t
he axle and the nose weight approaches
t
he maximum permitted without
e
xceeding it.
ai
r density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing
engine per formance. Above
1 0
00 metres, the maximum towed load must
b
e reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of
al
titude.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity t
o side wind.
Refer to the "Technical data" section for details
of
the weights and towed loads which apply to
y
our vehicle.
We
recommend
the
use
of
genuine
C
ITR
oËn
towbars and their harnesses
that have been tested and approved
from
the
design
stage
of
your
vehicle,
a
nd
that
the
fitting
of
the
towbar
is
e
ntrusted to a CITR
oËn
dealer or a
qualified
w
orkshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by a
CITROËN
dealer,
it
must
still
be
f
itted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's
i
nstructions.

F If the warning lamp and the S
TOP warning lamp come on,
s
top the vehicle and switch off
the
engine as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o avoid overheating of the brakes on a long
m
ountain type of descent, the use of engine
b
raking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing
t
he
re
commended
p
ressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling o
n the trailer.
The
rear parking sensors will be
d
eactivated automatically if a genuine
C
ITROËN towbar is used.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant.
As
the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
c
apacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F
T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
s
peed.
The
maximum towed load on a long incline
d
epends on the gradient and the ambient
t
emperature.
In
all cases, keep a check on the
c
oolant
t
emperature.
