You can also use the compressor, 
without injecting sealant, to check and, if 
necessary, adjust the tyre pressures.

Installing electrical accessories
Your vehicle's electrical system is 
designed to operate with standard or 
optional equipment.
Before installing other electrical 
equipment or accessories on your vehicle, 
contact a  CITROËN dealer or a   qualified 
workshop. CITROËN accepts no responsibility for 
the cost incurred in repairing your vehicle 
or for rectifying malfunctions resulting 
from the installation of accessories 
not supplied and not recommended by 
CITROËN and not installed in accordance 
with specifications, in particular when the 
combined power consumption of all of the 
additional equipment connected exceeds 
10
 
milliamperes.

first engine start.
In this case, the system will only be 
available again after a
 
continuous 
period of immobilisation of the vehicle, 
a period which depends on the exterior 
temperature and the state of charge of the 
battery (up to about 8
  hours).

Engine technical data and 
towed loads
Engines
The engine characteristics are given in the 
vehicle's registration document, as well as in 
sales brochures.The maximum power corresponds to the 
value type-approved on a
  test bed, under 
conditions defined in European legislation 
(Directive 1999/99/EC).
For more information, contact a
  CITROËN 
dealer or a
  qualified workshop.
Weights and towed loads
The weights and towed loads relating to your 
vehicle are given in the registration document, 
as well as in sales brochures.
These values are also given on the 
manufacturer's plate or label.
For more information, contact a   CITROËN 
dealer or a
  qualified workshop. The GTW (Gross Train Weight) and towed load 
values indicated are valid up to a
  maximum 
altitude of 1,000   metres. The towed load value 
must be reduced by 10% for each additional 
1,000   metres of altitude.
The maximum authorised nose weight 
corresponds to the weight permitted on the 
towball.
When exterior temperatures are high, 
the vehicle per formance may be limited 
in order to protect the engine. When the 
exterior temperature is higher than 37°C, 
limit the towed weight.
Towing using a   lightly loaded vehicle can 
adversely affect roadholding.
Braking distances are increased when 
towing a   trailer.
When using a
  vehicle to tow, never exceed 
a
  speed of 62   mph (100   km/h) (obser ve 
the local legislation in force).
If the exterior temperature is high, it is 
recommended that the engine be allowed 
to idle for 1
  to 2   minutes after the vehicle 
comes to a
  stop, to facilitate its cooling.
D. Tyres/paint code label.
This label is affixed to the driver's door 
aperture.
It bears the following information about the 
tyres:
-
 
t
he tyre pressures, unladen and laden,
-
 
t
he tyre specification, made up of the 
dimensions and type as well as the load and 
speed indices,
-
 
t
he spare tyre pressure.
It also indicates the paint colour code.
The vehicle may be originally equipped 
with tyres with higher load and speed 
indices than those indicated on the label, 
without affecting inflation pressure.

Playing TA messages
The TA (Traffic Announcement) function 
gives priority to TA alert messages. 
To operate, this function needs good 
reception of a  radio station that transmits 
this type of message. While traffic

media is automatically interrupted so that 
the TA message can be heard. Normal 
play of the media previously playing is 
resumed at the end of the message.

Radio
QUESTIONRESPONSESOLUTION
The reception quality of the tuned radio station 
gradually deteriorates or the stored stations are 
not working (no sound, 87,5
  MHz is displayed, 
e t c .) . The vehicle is too far from the transmitter of 
the station or no transmitter is present in the 
geographical area.
Activate the "RDS" function by means of the 
upper band to enable the system to check 
whether there is a
  more power ful transmitter in 
the geographical area.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, 
basement car parks, etc.) blocks reception, 
including in RDS mode. This phenomenon is normal and does not 
indicate a
  failure of the audio equipment.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for 
example when going through a
  car wash or into 
an underground car park). Have the aerial checked by a
  dealer.
I cannot find some radio stations in the list of 
received stations.
The name of the radio station changes. The station is not received or has changed its 
name in the list.
Press the round arrow on the "List" tab of the 
"Radio" page.
Some radio stations send other information 
in place of their name (the title of the song for 
example).
The system interprets these details as the 
station name.
