Installing ISOFIX child seats In accordance with European regulations, this table indicates the options for the installation of ISOFIX child seats on the vehicle seats fitted with
ISOFIX mountings.
In the case o
f the universal and semi-universal ISOFIX child seats, the child seat's ISOFIX size category, determined by a letter between Aand G ,
is indicated on the child seat next to the ISOFIX logo.
IUF:seat suitable for the installation of an I sofix U niversal seat, "F
orward facing" and secured using the "Top Tether" upper strap.IL- SU:
seat suitable for the installation an I sofix S emi-U
niversal seat which is:
- "rear facing" fitted with a "Top Tether" upper strap or a stay,
- "forward facing" fitted with a stay,
For the securing of the "Top Tether" upper strap, refer to the "ISOFIX Mountings" section.X: seat which is not suitable for the installation of an ISOFIX seat of the size category indicated.

Changing the coolant

The coolant does not have to be changed.


Fluid specifi cation

The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.



Screenwash fluid level


Fluid specifi cation

For optimum cleaning and to avoid freezing,
this fluid must not be topped up or replaced
with plain water.

Take care when carrying out checks under the bonnet as some parts of theengine can be very hot (risk of burns).

Coolant level
Top up the level when necessary.
Th
e coolant level should be close
to the "MA X" mark but should never exceed it. When the engine is warm, the
temperature of the coolant is regulated by the fan. This can operate with the ignition off.
On vehicles which are fitted with a particle emission filter, the fan may operate after
the vehicle has been switched off, even if
the en
gine is cold.
In addition, as the cooling system is pressurised, wait at least one hour after switching off the engine before carrying out any
work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
by two turns to allow the pressure to drop.
When the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level.

The maxi-fuses provide additional protection for the electrical s
ystems. All work on the maxi-fuses must be carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a genuineCITROËN towbar is used.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its coolingcapacity 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
To w i ng a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a longmountain type of descent, the use of engine braking is recommended.

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

Lighting
)
Check the electrical lighting and signallingon the trailer.
)
If the warning lamp and the
STOPwarning 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 thesport diffuser prevents this.
