Warning lamps
When the engine is running or the vehicle is being  driven,  the  illumination  of  one  of  the Â
f
ollowing  warning  lamps  indicates  a  fault  which Â
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 Â

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

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 Â
e
xceed  it.
In
Â
addition,  as  the  cooling  system  is Â
p
ressurised,  wait  at  least  one  hour  after Â
s
witching
Â
off  the  engine  before  carrying  out  any Â
wo
rk.
To
Â
avoid
Â
any  risk  of  scalding,  unscrew  the  cap Â
b
y
Â
two
Â
turns  to  allow  the  pressure  to  drop. Â
W
hen
Â
the
 pressure  has  dropped,  remove  the Â
c
ap
Â
and
Â
top  up  the  level.
When
Â
the
 engine  is  warm,  the  temperature  of Â
t
he
Â
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.
