Driving advice
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 towing load must
be reduced by 10
% of the GTW and so on for
every 1
000 metres of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for details
of the weights and towing loads which apply to
your vehicle.
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 towing load on a long slope
depends on the gradient and the outside
temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
F

I
f this message is displayed, stop your
vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
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 lighting and signalling on the trailer.
If the message flashes slowly, wait for the
engine to cool before topping up the level, if
necessary.
If the message flashes rapidly, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay.
Practical information

211
Quality of the fuel used for
petrol engines
The petrol engines are per fectly compatible
with E10 type petrol biofuels (containing 10 %
ethanol), conforming to European standards
EN 228 and EN 15376.
E85 type fuels (containing up to 85 % ethanol)
are reserved exclusively for vehicles marketed
for the use of this type of fuel (BioFlex
vehicles). The quality of the ethanol must
comply with European standard EN 15293.
For Brazil only, special vehicles are marketed
to run on fuels containing up to 100 % ethanol
(E100 type).
Quality of the fuel used for
Diesel engines
The Diesel engines are per fectly compatible
with biofuels which conform to current and
future European standards (Diesel fuel
which complies with standard EN 590 mixed
with a biofuel which complies with standard
EN 14214) available at the pumps (containing
up to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
The B30 biofuel can be used in certain Diesel
engines; however, this use is subject to strict
application of the special servicing conditions.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel
(vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted,
domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited (risk of
damage to the engine and fuel system).
1.6 litre petrol engines, even though they have
been designed to operate on 95 RON petrol,
can accept 90 RON petrol without engine
adjustments, but with a slight deterioration in
performance.
2.0 litre petrol engines can accept 90 RON or
higher petrol.

Checks

218
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to have
the condition of the brakes checked,
even between vehicle services.
Brake pads
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Brake disc wearParking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
effectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must be
checked, even between two services.
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
units as important as those in the
braking system, CITROËN selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness,
or in wintry conditions, ice can form
on the brake discs and pads: braking
efficiency may be reduced. Make light
brake applications to dry and defrost
the brakes.
Checking this system must be done by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.

Petrol weights and towed loads (kg)
The values for maximum towed weights type
approved according to the sales zone (see the
tables on the following pages).
The exact values are given in your vehicle's
registration document as well as on the
manufacturer's plate.
They are also mentioned in sales brochures.
For more details, contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop.The kerb weight is equal to the unladen
weight
+ driver (75 kg).The GTW and towed load values indicated are
valid up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres;
the towed load mentioned must be reduced
by 10 % for each additional 1 000 metres of
altitude.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed
60 mph (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation
in force in your country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a
reduction in the per formance of the vehicle to
protect the engine; if the ambient temperature
is above 37 °C, limit the towed load.
The weight of the braked trailer can be
increased, within the GTW limit, if the
GV W of the towing vehicle is reduced
by an equal amount. Please note that
towing using a lightly loaded towing
vehicle may have an adverse effect
on its road holding
.

FIRST STEPS

04
264The satellite navigation system guides the driver to the destination
set in accordance with a chosen route.
Initially, it searches for the destination required by the user, then
it calculates the route and finally it provides the visual and vocal
guidance instructions.
A point of interest (POI) is represented by an icon on
the map, it represents an airport, a station, a town
hall, ...
What is a point of interest (POI)?
Up to 40 different icons may be displayed (refer to the
section "Points of interest icon").
They are classified in 5 groups and identified by one
colour for each group:
-
Shops, finance and businesses (Green),
-

V
ehicles and travel (Dark blue),
-
Restaurants (Orange),
-

Public places and emergency services (Brown),
-

Entertainment and attractions (Blue).
GPS (Global Positioning System) consists of several
satellites arranged around the earth.
They continuously
transmit digital signals which travel at the speed of
light, on 2 different frequencies.
At any given time, the system receives its position
in relation to the satellites detected and the time of
transmission of the signal.
This enables the telematic unit to calculate its position
and therefore that of the vehicle.
A repositioning process using the map database stored
on the hard disk allows the vehicle to be positioned
on the road network, so improving the accuracy of the
vehicle location function.
GPS system
What is the navigation system and GPS? The system's measurements may be inaccurate if the vehicle is:
-

in a tunnel or underground car park,
-


underneath a two-level motorway
,
-

in an area with several very high buildings,
-


surrounded by closely planted trees.
Depending on the vehicle's situation and the reception of the GPS
information, the displayed information may disappear from the
screen temporarily

.
What precautions should be observed in order to make
best use of the system?
Do not place anything on or near the GPS aerial.
Do not use any digital communication equipment (personal
computers, etc.) near the GPS aerial.
Do not affix any reflective films or films containing carbon to the
windows.

274What is RDS?
The Radio Data System (RDS) function on the FM waveband permits:
- automatic retuning to alternative frequencies carrying the same station
while travelling through different regions (if the transmitters of this
station cover the area through which you are travelling),
- temporary tuning to traffic information announcements,
- display of the name of the station, etc...
Most FM stations use RDS.
These stations transmit non-audible data in addition to their programmes.
The data transmitted in this way allows you access to various functions,
mainly displaying of the name of the station, temporary tuning to
traffic information announcements or automatic retuning to alternative
frequencies.
RDS allows you to continue listening to the same station automatically by
means of alternative frequencies. However, alternative frequencies may not
be provided throughout the country. Radio stations do not cover the whole
country, which explains the loss of reception of the station during a journey.
RDS, AF, TP, PTY
RDS alternative frequencies
Your radio automatically checks and selects the best frequency for the radio station
to which it is tuned (if the station broadcasts on several transmitters or frequencies).
The frequency of a radio station covers approximately 30 miles (50
km). The
change from one frequency to another explains the loss of reception during a
journey.
If the station to which you are listening does not have several frequencies in the
region in which you are currently located, you can deactivate automatic alternative
frequencies.
Traffic information function
The Traf
fi c Programme (TP) function permits automatic and
temporary switching to an FM station broadcasting traffic
information.
The radio station or the source that you are listening to at this point
is placed on hold.
Once the traffic information has ended, the system switches back to
the radio station or the source that you were listening to initially .
Programme types
Some stations offer the option of listening to a themed type of
programme as a priority, selected from the list available below:
