In case of towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
d emands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.
Respect the maximum towable weights.
At altitude: reduce the maximum load
by 10% per 1,000
metres of altitude; the
decreased air density at altitude reduces
engine performance.
New vehicle: do not pull a
trailer
before having driven at least 620
miles
(1,000


kilometres). If the outside temperature is high, let the
engine idle for 1
to 2 minutes after the
vehicle comes to a stop, to help it to cool.
Before setting off
Nose weight
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as safety
conditions allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt about the state of your vehicle,
contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
F

D
istribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight (at the point
where it joins your vehicle) approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
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 electrical signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam height of your
vehicle.
If a
genuine CITROËN towing device is
used, the rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the
audible signal.
When driving
Cooling
Towing a trailer uphill increases the
t emperature of the coolant. The maximum
towable load depends on the gradient and the
exterior temperature. The cooling capacity of
the fan does not increase with engine speed.
F

R
educe speed and lower the engine speed,
so as to limit the heating-up.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
If this warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine as
soon as possible.
Brakes
Braking distances are increased when towing
a trailer. To avoid overheating of the brakes, the
use of engine braking is recommended.
Side wind
Bear in mind the increased susceptibility to the
wind that the vehicle will have.

The vehicle stalls in STOP mode
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come
on if this fault occurs.The Stop & Start system requires a
12 V
battery of specific technology and
specification.
All work concerning the battery must be
carried out only by a
CITROËN dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
After the engine has restarted, STOP
mode is not available until the vehicle has
reached a speed of 5 mph (8 km/h).
During parking manoeuvres, STOP mode
is not available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear or turning the
steering wheel.
The engine automatically restarts as soon as
the driver indicates the intention of moving off
again.
Tyre under-inflation
detection
This system automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.

Parking sensors
Refer to the General recommendations on
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids.
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
g e a r.
This is confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out
of reverse gear.
Audible assistance
The function signals the presence of obstacles
present within the vehicle sensors' detection
zone.
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of which
increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than about thirty
centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left)
allows you to identify the side on which the
obstacle is located.
Adjusting the audible signal
Visual assistance
Using sensors located in the bumper, this
function warns of the proximity of obstacles
(e.g. pedestrian, vehicle, tree, barrier) entering
their field of detection.
On versions equipped with
CITROËN Connect Radio, pressing
this button opens the audible signal
volume adjustment window.It supplements the audible signal by displaying
bars on the screen that move progressively
nearer to the vehicle (white: more distant
obstacles; orange: close obstacles; red: very
close obstacles).
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed on the screen.
Front parking sensors
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the
front parking sensors are triggered when an
obstacle is detected in front and the speed of
the vehicle is still below 6
mph (10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in for ward gear, if an obstacle is no longer
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6
mph (10 km/h).
6
Driving

168
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or
rear) locates the obstacle in relation to the
vehicle, in front or behind.
Deactivation/Activation
The function is deactivated and
activated in the Driving/Vehicle
menu of the touch screen.
The state of the system stays in the memory
when the ignition is switched off.
The rear parking sensors system will
be deactivated automatically if a
trailer
or bicycle carrier is connected to
a

towing device installed in line with the
manufacturer's recommendations.
In this case, the outline of a
trailer is
displayed at the rear of the image of the
vehicle. The parking sensors are deactivated while the
Park Assist system is measuring a
space.
For more information on the Park Assist , refer
to the corresponding section.
Operating limits
The tilting of the vehicle if the boot is very
loaded can affect the distance measurements.
Malfunction
If a malfunction occurs, when
s hifting to reverse, one of these
warning lamps comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied by
the display of a
message and an
audible signal (short beep).
If the malfunction occurs while the
parking sensors are being used, it
causes the function to deactivate.
Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
Top Rear Vision – Top

Vision
Refer to the General recommendations on
the use of driving and manoeuvring aids .
With the engine running, these systems allow
views of your vehicle's close surroundings to
be displayed on the touch screen using one
camera for Top Rear Vision and two cameras
for Top 360
Vision.

Principle of operationThe screen is divided into two parts: on the
left, a contextual view; on the right, a view from
above the vehicle in its close surroundings.
The parking sensors supplement the
information on the view from above the vehicle.
AUTO mode is activated by default.
In this mode, the system chooses the best view
to display (standard or zoom) according to the
information from the parking sensors.
You can change the type of view at any time
during a


manoeuvre. Using one or two cameras, the close
surroundings of the vehicle are recorded whilst
manoeuvring at low speed.
An image from above your vehicle in its close
surroundings is reconstructed (represented
between the blue brackets) in real time and as
the manoeuvre progresses.
This representation facilitates the alignment of
your vehicle when parking and allows obstacles
close to the vehicle to be seen. With Top 360
Vision, the image is created using
both cameras, when going for ward and when
reversing.
When the function is activated, it is possible
that the view from above is not displayed. If
the system is activated when the vehicle has
already moved, the view from above can be
fully displayed.Top Rear Vision
