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
w
orkshop.

RACING towbar
Your vehicle cannot be fitted with a towbar. The space occupied by the
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
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
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.
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.
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.

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
s
witching
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.
