Warning lamps
When the engine is running or the vehicle is being   driven,   the   illumination   of   one   of   the  
f

ollowing   warning   lamps   indicates   a   fault   which  
r

equires   action   on   the   part   of   the   driver.Any
  fault   resulting   in   the   illumination   of   a   warning   lamp   must   be   investigated   further   by  r
eading   the   associated   message   in   the   multifunction   screen.
If
  you   encounter   any   problems,   do   not   hesitate   to   contact   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified

Towing with the RACIng version
Your vehicle cannot be fitted with a
towbar.
  The   space   occupied   by   the  
s

port   diffuser   prevents   this.
Side wind
F Take  into   account   the   increased   sensitivity  t
o   side   wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature   of   the   coolant.
As
  the   fan   is   electrically   controlled,   its   cooling  
c

apacity   is   not   dependent   on   the   engine   speed.
F
 
T
o   lower   the   engine   speed,   reduce   your  
s

peed.
The
  maximum   towed   load   on   a   long   incline  
d

epends   on   the   gradient   and   the   ambient  
t

emperature.
In
  all   cases,   keep   a   check   on   the   coolant  
t

emperature. F

S

TOP
 
warning   lamp   come   on,  
s

top the vehicle and switch off
the
  engine   as   soon   as   possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o   avoid   overheating   of   the   brakes   on   a   long  
m

ountain   type   of   descent,   the   use   of   engine  
b

raking   is   recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check   the   tyre   pressures   of   the   towing  v
ehicle   and   of   the   trailer,   observing   the  
re

commended
 p
ressures.
Lighting
F Check  the   electrical   lighting   and   signalling  o
n   the   trailer.
The
  rear   parking   sensors   will   be  
d

eactivated   automatically   if   a   genuine  
C

ITROËN   towbar   is   used.
Practical information

Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the manufacturer's r ecommendations.
Coolant level
The coolant level should be close
to  the   "MA X"   mark   but   should   never  
e

xceed   it.
In
 
addition,   as   the   cooling   system   is  
p

ressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching
 
off   the   engine   before   carrying   out   any  
wo

rk.
To
 
avoid
 
any   risk   of   scalding,   unscrew   the   cap  
b

y
 
two
 
turns   to   allow   the   pressure   to   drop.  
W

hen
 
the
  pressure   has   dropped,   remove   the  
c

ap
 
and
 
top   up   the   level.
When
 
the
  engine   is   warm,   the   temperature   of  
t

he
 
coolant   is   regulated   by   the   fan.
The cooling fan may star t after
switching off the engine: take care
with articles and clothing that might
be caught by the fan blades.
