Stop & Start

This system puts the engine
temporarily on standby during
stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic
jams, etc...). The engine restarts
automatically as soon as you want to

Driving


This section describes the use of the parking brake, the manual,
SensoDrive or automatic gearbox, the gear shift indicator and
Stop & Start to help reduce fuel consumption, the speed limiter to
avoid exceeding a programmed speed, cruise control to maintain a
programmed speed, the rear parking sensors to detect obstacles.

173Driving





Rear parking sensors

System consisting of four proximity sensors,
located in the rear bumper.
This detects any obstacle (person, vehicle,
tree, gate, etc.) behind the vehicle, except
obstacles located just below the bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a roadworks
cone or any other similar object may be
detected at the beginning of the manoeuvre,
but may no longer be detected when the
vehicle comes close to it.

The parking sensor system cannot, in
any circumstances, take the place of
the vigilance and responsibility of the
driver. The system is activated as soon as reverse
gear is engaged, accompanied by an audible
signal. The proximity information is given by:


- an audible signal, which becomes more
rapid as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.

- a graphic (according to version) in the
multifunction screen, with blocks which
become increasingly closer to the vehicle.


Activation
When the distance between the rear of the vehicle
and the obstacle is less than thirty centimetres, the
audible signal becomes continuous and the "Danger"
symbol appears in the multifunction screen.
On completion of the manoeuvre, when you exit
reverse gear, the system becomes inactive.

Programming
Operating faults

If there is an operating fault, when
reverse gear is engaged this
warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel,
accompanied by an audible signal (shor t beep)
and a message in the multifunction screen. You can activate or deactivate the system by
means of the multifunction screen configuration
menu. The system state is memorised when
switching off the ignition.
For more information on access to the parking
sensors menu, refer to "Configuration/ Vehicle
parameters" in the "Multifunction screens"
section corresponding to your screen.
The system will be deactivated
automatically when towing a trailer or
when a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle
fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier
recommended by CITROËN). In bad or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are not covered with mud,
frost or snow.

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.
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.

Braking

Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.


Ty r e s



)
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the
recommended pressures.



Lighting



)
Check the electrical lighting and signalling
on the trailer.


)
If the warning lamp and the
STOP
warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.



RACING towbar

Your vehicle cannot be fitted with a
towbar. The space occupied by the
spor t diffuser prevents this.
