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
b
ars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). 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, 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.
Don't
forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.
Have
your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter,
p
assenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of
o
perations recommended in the manufacturer's service schedule.
With
a BlueHDi Diesel engine, if the SCR system is faulty your vehicle
b
ecomes polluting; go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
w
ithout delay to have the emissions of nitrous oxides brought back to
t
he legal level.
When
refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to
a
void 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
t
o a consistent average.

The alert is given by a warning lamp which comes on in the door mirror on the side in
q
uestion as soon as a vehicle - car, lorry,
b
icycle - is detected and the following
c
onditions are fulfilled:
-
a
ll the vehicles must be moving in the

Front parking sensors
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) indicates whether the obstacle
i
s in front or behind. The
system will be deactivated
a
utomatically if a trailer is being
t
owed or a bicycle carrier is fitted on
a
towbar (vehicle fitted with a towbar
i
nstalled in line with the manufacturer's
r
ecommendations).In
bad weather or in winter, ensure
t
hat the sensors are not covered with m
ud, 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.
In
addition to the rear parking sensors, the
f
ront
parking sensors are triggered when an
o
bstacle is detected in front and the speed of
t
he
vehicle is still below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The
front parking sensors are interrupted if
t
he
vehicle stops for more than three seconds
i
n
for ward gear, if no further obstacles are
d
etected or when the speed of the vehicle
e
xceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
Deactivation / Activation of the
front and rear parking sensors
The parking sensors can be deactivated in the t
ouch screen tablet.

Towing a trailer
We recommend the use of genuine CITROËN towbars and their harnesses
t
hat have been tested and approved
f
rom the design stage of your vehicle,
a
nd that the fitting of the towbar is
e
ntrusted to a CITROËN dealer or a
q
ualified
w
orkshop.
If
the towbar is not fitted by a
C
ITROËN dealer, it must still be
f
itted in accordance with the vehicle
m
anufacturer's
i
nstructions.
Your
vehicle
is
primarily
designed
for
t
ransporting
people
and
luggage,
but
it
may
a
lso
be
used
for
towing
a
trailer. Driving
with a trailer places greater d
emands on the towing vehicle and the
d
river must take particular care.

Driving advice
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the h
eaviest items are as close as possible to t
he axle and the nose weight approaches the
m
aximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air
density decreases with altitude, thus
r
educing 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.
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 coolant
t
emperature. F
I
f the warning lamp and the
S
TOP
warning lamp come on,
s
top the vehicle and switch off
t
he 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 v
ehicle and of the trailer, observing the
re
commended
p
ressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling o
n the trailer.
Refer
to
the
"Technical
data"
section
for
details
o
f
the
weights
and
towed
loads
which
apply
to
y
our
vehicle.
When
not
towing
a
trailer,
remove
the
q
uickly-detachable
tow
ball
before
d
riving. The
rear parking sensors will be
d
eactivated automatically if a genuine
C
ITROËN towbar is used.

* The weight values are calculated with a towbar.
* * The kerb weight is equal to the unladen weight + driver (75 kg).
***
T
he 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; warning,
t
owing using a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its road holding.

Petrol weights and towed loads (in 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 e
ach additional 1 000 metres of altitude.
When
towing, the speed must never 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,
