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 towed load must
be reduced by 10
% for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
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 incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
F

I
f 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 braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of
engine braking 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 electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam
height of your vehicle.
For more information on Weights
, refer
to the corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the
audible signal if a genuine CITROËN
towbar is used.
If the ambient 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. For more information on Adjusting the
headlamp beam height
, refer to the
corresponding section.

The gearbox operates in auto-active mode,
without any action on the part of the driver. It
continuously selects the most suitable gear for:

and the gear engaged are
displayed in the instrument panel.
For optimum acceleration, for
example when overtaking another
vehicle, press the accelerator pedal
firmly past the point of resistance.

Operating fault
Depending on your vehicle's equipment:
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In the event of a fault in STOP mode, the
vehicle may stall.
All of the instrument panel warning lamps
come on.
Depending on version, an alert message may
also be displayed, asking you to place the gear
lever in position N and put your foot on the
brake pedal.
With the vehicle stationary, you must switch off
the ignition and then start the engine again. The Stop & Start system requires a
12
V battery with a special specification
and technology.
The warning lamp in this button
flashes and a message appears,
accompanied by an audible signal. In the event of a fault with the
system, this warning lamp flashes in
the instrument panel. All work on this type of battery must
be done by a CITROËN or a qualified
workshop.
For more information on the 12 V batter y,
refer to the corresponding section.

Memorising speeds
Programming
This function allows speeds to be saved,
which can then be offered to set the two
systems: the speed limiter (to limit the
speed of the vehicle) or the cruise control
(for a vehicle cruising speed).
You can memorise up to six speed settings for
each of the two systems.As a safety measure, the driver should
carry out these operations when
stationary. F
