Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the bottom  of  the  boot,  as  close  as  possible  to  the  rear  seats.
Limit
 the  loads  carried  in  the  vehicle  and  reduce  wind  resistance  (roof Â
b
ars,  roof  rack,  bicycle  carrier,  trailer...).  Use  a  roof  box  in  preference.
Remove
 roof  bars  and  roof  racks  after  use.
At
 the  end  of  winter,  remove  snow  tyres  and  refit  your  summer  tyres.
Observe the recommendations on
maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in the  door  aperture,  driver's  side.
Carry
 out  this  check  in  particular:
-
Â
b
efore  a  long  journey,
-
Â
a
t  each  change  of  season,
-
Â
a
fter  a  long  period  out  of  use.
Don't
 forget  the  spare  wheel  and  the  tyres  on  any  trailer  or  caravan.
Have
 your  vehicle  serviced  regularly  (engine  oil,  oil  filter,  air  filter, Â
p
assenger  compartment  filter...)  and  observe  the  schedule  of Â
o
perations  recommended  in  the  maintenance  and  warranty  guide.
With
 a  Blue  HDi  Diesel  engine,  if  the  SCR  system  is  faulty  your  vehicle Â
b
ecomes  polluting;  go  to  a  CITROËN  dealer  or  a  qualified  workshop Â
w
ithout  delay  to  have  the  emissions  of  nitrous  oxides  brought  back  to Â
t
he  legal  level.
When
 refuelling,  do  not  continue  after  the  third  cut-off  of  the  nozzle  to Â
a
void  any  over flow.
At
 the  wheel  of  your  new  vehicle,  it  is  only  after  the  first  1  800  miles Â
(3
 000  kilometres)  that  you  will  see  the  fuel  consumption  settle  down  to Â
a
 consistent  average.

Operating faults
In the event of an impact to the windscreen at the sensor, deactivate
the
 system  and  contact  a  CITROËN Â

When
 towing  a  trailer  or  when  the Â

Do not stick or other wise fix any object on the  windscreen  in  front  of  the  sensor.
Sensor fault
The operation of the laser sensor may suffer inter ference  from  accumulations  of  dirt  or Â
m
isting  of  the  windscreen.  In  this  case  you  are Â

Towing a trailer
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a trailer with a dditional l ighting an d s ignalling. We
 recommend  the  use  of  genuine Â
C
ITR
oË
N towbars and their harnesses
that have been tested and approved
from  the  design  stage  of  your  vehicle, Â
a
nd  that  the  fitting  of  the  towbar  is Â
e
ntrusted to a CITR
oË
N dealer or a
qualified
 w
orkshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by a CITR
oË
N
dealer,  it  is  imperative  that  it  is Â
f
itted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's
 i
nstructions.
Driving  with  a  trailer  places  greater  demands Â
o
n  the  towing  vehicle  and  the  driver  must  take Â
par
ticular
 c
are.
driving advice
distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest  items  are  as  close  as  possible  to t
he  axle  and  the  nose  weight  approaches  the
 m
aximum  permitted  without  exceeding  it.
ai
r density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing
 engine  per formance.  Above Â
1
 000  metres,  the  maximum  towed  load  must Â
b
e  reduced  by  10  %  for  every  1  000  metres  of Â
al
titude.
Side wind
F Take  into  account  the  increased  sensitivity  t
o  side  wind.
Your
Â
vehicle
Â
is
Â
primarily
Â
designed
Â
for
Â
t
ransporting
Â
people
Â
and
Â
luggage,
Â
but
Â
it
Â
may
Â
a
lso
Â
be
Â
used
Â
for
Â
towing
Â
a
Â
trailer. Refer to the "Technical Data" section for details
of the  weights  and  towed  loads  which  apply  to Â
y
our  vehicle.

RAcING towbar
Your vehicle cannot be fitted with a
towbar. The  space  occupied  by  the Â
s
port  diffuser  prevents  this.
Ty r e s
F Check the  tyre  pressures  of  the  towing  v
ehicle  and  of  the  trailer,  observing  the Â
re
commended
 p
ressures.
cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature  of  the  coolant.
As
 the  fan  is  electrically  controlled,  its  cooling Â
c
apacity  is  not  dependent  on  the  engine  speed.
F
Â
T
o  lower  the  engine  speed,  reduce  your Â
s
peed.
The
 maximum  towed  load  on  a  long  incline Â
d
epends  on  the  gradient  and  the  ambient Â
t
emperature.
In
 all  cases,  keep  a  check  on  the  coolant Â
t
emperature.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o  avoid  overheating  of  the  brakes  on  a  long Â
m
ountain  type  of  descent,  the  use  of  engine Â
b
raking  is  recommended.
Lighting
F Check  the  electrical  lighting  and  signalling  o
n  the  trailer.
The
 rear  parking  sensors  will  be Â
d
eactivated  automatically  if  a  genuine Â
C

*  The weight  of  the  braked  trailer  can  be  increased,  within  the  GTW  limit,  if  the  GV W  of  the  towing  vehicle  is  reduced  by  an  equal  amount.  Warning:  t
owing  using  a  lightly  loaded  towing  vehicle  may  have  an  adverse  effect  on  its  road  holding.
The
 GTW  and  towed  load  values  indicated  are  valid  up  to  a  maximum  altitude  of  1  000  metres;  the  towed  load  mentioned  must  be  reduced  by  10  %  for Â
e
ach  additional  1  000  metres  of  altitude.
The
 speed  of  a  towing  vehicle  must  not  exceed  60  mph  (100  km/h)  (comply  with  the  legislation  in  force  in  your  country).
High
 ambient  temperatures  may  result  in  a  reduction  in  the  per formance  of  the  vehicle  to  protect  the  engine;  if  the  ambient  temperature  is  above  37  °C, Â
