This warning lamp comes
on if there is a fault with the
electric parking brake.
Electric parking brake -
deactivation of automatic
functions This warning lamp comes
on if the "automatic lock-
ing" (upon switching off the
ignition) and the "automatic
unlocking" functions are de-
activated or faulty.
Dynamic stability control
(ESP/ASR) The ESP/ASR system is put
into service automatically
when the vehicle is started.
Unless the system has been deacti-
vated, if this warning lamp comes on
continuously, accompanied by a mes-
sage on the instrument panel screen,
switching on of the SERVICE warning
lamp and an audible signal, this indi-
cates the occurrence of a fault in the
ESP/ASR system.
Central alert
- punctured wheel,
- braking,
- coolant temperature,
stop the vehicle immediately and as
safely as possible.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) If this comes on, it indicates
the occurrence of a fault in
the anti-lock braking sys-
tem.
However, this does not prevent op-
eration of the vehicle's servo assist-
ed braking. If this warning lamp comes on, stop
immediately and contact a CITROËN
dealer.
Consult a CITROËN dealer.

mately 2 seconds) when starting on
a gradient, the time it takes to move
your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
This function is only active when:
- the vehicle is completely stationary, with your foot on the brake pedal,
- in particular conditions on a slope,
- with the driver’s door closed.
The hill start assist function cannot
be deactivated. Operation
On an ascending slope, with the
vehicle stationary, the vehicle is
held for a brief moment when you
release the brake pedal:
- p r o v i d e d y o u a r e i n fi r s t g e a r o r n e u t r a l o n a m a n u a l g e a r b o x ,

On a descending slope, with the
vehicle stationary and reverse
gear engaged, the vehicle is held
for a brief moment when you
release the brake pedal.

D R I V I N G If there is a malfunction, have the
system checked by a CITROËN
dealer.
Operation
Y o u h a v e i d e n t i fi e d a p a r k i n g s p a c e :
Press button A to select the func-
tion.
Activate the direction indicator
on the side where the space is to
be measured.
During measurement, go forward
the length of the space, at a speed
l e s s t h a n 1 2 m p h ( a p p r o x . 2 0 k m / h ),
to prepare for your manoeuvre.
The system then measures the size
of the space.
The system informs you of the
l e v e l o f d i f fi c u l t y o f t h e m a n o e u v r e
via a message on the instrument
panel screen accompanied by a
gong.
Depending on the message is-
sued by the system, you may or
may not be able to perform the
manoeuvre. The function displays the following
types of message:
Parking YES
P a r k i n g d i f fi c u l t
Parking NO The function deselects itself auto-
matically:
- when you engage reverse gear,
- when you switch off the ignition,
- if measurement is not requested,
- w i t h i n fi v e m i n u t e s o f s e l e c t i o n o f
the function,
- i f t h e v e h i c l e s p e e d e x c e e d s t h e t h r e s h o l d o f 4 5 m p h ( a p p r o x .
70 km/h) for one minute.
If the lateral distance between your
vehicle and the parking space is too
large, the system may not be able to
measure the space.
The function remains available after
each measurement and thus can
measure more than one space dur-
ing your search.
In bad weather conditions or in
winter, make sure that the sensors
are not covered by dirt, or by ice or
snow.
The parking space sensor function
deactivates the front parking assist-
ance during space measurement
when you are in forward gear.

sors, installed in the front and/or rear
bumper.
It detects any obstacle (person, ve-
hicle, tree, barrier...) located in front
of or behind the vehicle, however,
it will not be able to detect obsta-
cles located immediately below the
bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a road-
works cone or any other similar ob-
ject may be detected at the start of
the manoeuvre but may no longer
be detected when the vehicle moves
nearer to it. The parking assistance is
switched
on :
- by engaging reverse gear,
- at a speed below 6 mph (10 km/h) in forward gear.
This is accompanied by an audible
signal and/or displaying of the vehicle
on the multifunction screen.
T h e p r o x i m i t y i n f o r m a t i o n i s i n d i c a t e d
by:
- an audible signal which becomes more rapid as the vehicle appro-
aches the obstacle,
- a diagram on the multifunction display, with blocks which move
closer to the vehicle.
The obstacle is located in relation to
the emission of the audible signal by
the speakers; front or rear and right
or left.
When the distance between the ve-
hicle and the obstacle is less than
a p p r o x i m a t e l y t w e n t y - fi v e c e n t i m e -
tres, the audible signal becomes
continuous and/or the "Danger"
symbol appears, depending on the
multifunction screen version.
The parking assistance is switched
off :
- w h e n y o u e x i t r e v e r s e g e a r ,
- when the speed is higher than 6 mph (10 km/h) in forward gear,
- when the vehicle has been station- ary for more than three seconds in
forward gear. Deactivation
Press button A , the warning lamp
comes on, the system is fully de-
activated.
The system will be deactivated auto-
matically when a trailer is being
towed or when a bicycle carrier is
fi t t e d ( v e h i c l e fi t t e d w i t h a t o w b a r
or bicycle carrier recommended by
CITROËN).

TOWING A TRAILER, A CARAVAN, ETC.
Towbar suited to the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional sig-
nalling and lighting.
Your vehicle is primarily designed
for transporting people and luggage,
but it may also be used for towing a
trailer.
We recommend the use of genuine
CITROËN towbars and their har-
nesses that have been tested and
approved from the design stage
o f y o u r v e h i c l e , a n d t h a t t h e fi t -
ting of the towbar is entrusted to a
CITROËN dealer. I f t h e t r a i l e r i s n o t fi t t e d b y
a CITROËN dealer, it is
i m p e r a t i v e t h a t i t i s fi t t e d
using the electrical pre-equipment
installed at the rear of the vehicle,
in accordance with the manufactur-
er’s instructions.
Driving with a trailer subjects the
t o w i n g v e h i c l e t o m o r e s i g n i fi c a n t
stress and its driver must be par-
ticularly careful.
Driving advice
Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer
so that the heaviest items are as
c l o s e a s p o s s i b l e t o t h e a x l e a n d
the nose weight approaches the
m a x i m u m p e r m i t t e d w i t h o u t e x -
ceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude,
thus reducing engine performance.
A b o v e 1 0 0 0 m e t r e s , t h e m a x i m u m
t o w i n g l o a d m u s t b e r e d u c e d b y 1 0 %
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
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.
To lower the engine speed, reduce
your speed.
T h e m a x i m u m t o w i n g l o a d o n a l o n g
slope depends on the gradient and
the ambient temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant temperature.
If the warning lamp and
the STOP warning lamp
come on, stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the brak-
ing distance.
Tyres
Check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended
pressures.
Lighting
Check the electrical signalling on
the trailer.
The rear parking assistance will
be deactivated automatically if an
original CITROËN towbar is used.
