Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the
bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance
(roof bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer, etc.). Use a roof box in
preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations on
maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in
the door aperture, on the driver's side.
Carry out this check in particular:
-
b
efore a long journey,
-

a
t each change of season,
-

a
fter a long period out of use.
Do not forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter,
passenger compartment filter, etc.) and observe the schedule of
operations recommended in the manufacturer's service schedule.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
avoid any over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles
(3
000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to
a consistent average.

Visual assistance
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
goes off.
Pressing this button again reactivates the
function. The indicator lamp in the button
comes on.
Operating fault
The front parking sensors are triggered when
an obstacle is detected in front, a gear is
engaged (position D for vehicles with a CVT
gearbox) and the speed of the vehicle remains
below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than five seconds
in for ward gear, if no further obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h). Remember to deactivate the system if
towing a trailer or caravan.In bad weather or in winter, ensure that
the sensors are not covered with mud,
ice or snow.
When the vehicle is moving at a speed
below 6 mph (10 km/h), certain sound
sources (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic
drill, etc.) may trigger the audible
signals of the parking sensor system.
In the event of an problem, when reverse gear
is engaged this lamp in the button flashes,
accompanied by an audible signal.
This supplements the audible
signal by displaying bars in the
screen, in front of or behind the
vehicle. If one of the sensors is faulty, it
flashes in the instrument panel
screen.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
These bars flash at the start of the manoeuvre
then become fixed from a certain distance
between the vehicle and the obstacle.

Driving

Towing a trailer, a caravan, etc.
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 following the manufacturer's
instructions.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it may
also be used for towing a trailer.
Driving with a trailer subjects the towing vehicle
to more significant stress and its driver must be
particularly careful.
For more advice on driving when towing, refer
to the corresponding section.
For more information on Petrol weights
or
Diesel weights and in particular the towed
loads which apply to your vehicle, refer to the
corresponding section.
Take care to comply with the gross train
weights indicated on the registration certificate
or in the technical data for your vehicle.

Practical information

Advice on driving 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 towing load must
be reduced by 10
% of the GTW and so on for
every 1
000 metres of altitude.
For more information on Petrol weights or
Diesel weights and in particular the towed
loads which apply to your vehicle, 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 slope
depends on the gradient and the exterior
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.
To limit heat build-up in the brakes, use of the
engine brake 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 lighting and signalling on the trailer and the adjustment of the vehicle's
headlamps.
For more information on Headlamp
adjustment , refer to the corresponding
section.
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.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically when a
genuine CITROËN towbar is used.

Petrol weights and towed loads (kg)
The values for approved towed weights vary
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
62 mph (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation
in force in your country).
High exterior temperatures may result in a
reduction in the per formance of the vehicle to
protect the engine; if the exterior 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.
