Windscreen and headlamp wash
F Pull the windscreen wiper stalk towards you. The windscreen wash then the
windscreen wipers operate for a fixed
period.
It operates only when the headlamps are off or
the vehicle is stationary.
Low screenwash / headlamp wash
fluid level
On vehicle fitted with headlamp washers, the
low level of this fluid is indicated by gauge in
the reservoir filler neck under the bonnet.
Checking and topping up this fluid can should
be done with the engine off.
The level of this fluid should be
checked regularly, particularly during
w i n t e r.
For more information on Checking the levels
and in particular the screenwash / headlamp
wash, refer to the corresponding section.
Associated with the windscreen wash, the
headlamp washers operate with the vehicle
moving, when the dipped or main beam
headlamps are on
.
To reduce the consumption of the fluid
by the headlamp washers, they operate
only with every seventh use of the
screenwash or every 25 miles (40 km)
during a given journey.

Driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations and remain vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your hands on the wheel so that you are ready to react at
any time to any eventuality.
As a safety precaution, the driver must only carry out actions requiring sustained attention when
the vehicle is stationary.
On a long journey, a break every two hours is strongly recommended.
In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate the need to brake and increase the distance from
other vehicles.Never drive with the parking brake
applied - Risk of overheating and
damage to the braking system!
Risk of fire!
As the exhaust system of your vehicle
is very hot, even several minutes
after switching off the engine, do not
park or leave the engine running over
areas where inflammable substances
and materials are present: grass,
leaves,
etc.
Never leave a vehicle unsupervised
with the engine running. If you have
to leave your vehicle with the engine
running, apply the parking brake
and put the gearbox into neutral or
position


N or P, depending on the type
of gearbox.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage
to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle.
Important!
- check that the depth of water does not exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves
that might be generated by other users,
-

d
eactivate the Stop & Start system,
-

d
rive as slowly as possible without
stalling. In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph
(10
km/h),
-

d
o not stop and do not switch off the
engine.
If you are obliged to drive through water:
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as
circumstances allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle, contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Driving

When towing
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches
the maximum permitted without exceeding
it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine per formance. Above
1
000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10
% for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F

T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
F

I
f the warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of
engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam
height of your vehicle.
For more information on Adjusting the
headlamp beam height , refer to the
corresponding section.
For more information on Weights
, refer
to the corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the
audible signal if a genuine CITROËN
towbar is used.
If the exterior temperature is high, it
is recommended that the engine be
allowed to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after
the vehicle comes to a stop, to facilitate
its cooling.

F Connect the red cable to the positive terminal (+) of the flat battery A (at the metal
elbow) then to the positive terminal
(+) of the
slave battery B or the booster.
F

C
onnect one end of the green or black
cable to the negative terminal (-) of the
slave battery B or the booster (or earth
point on the other vehicle).
F

C
onnect the other end of the green or black
cable to the earth point C on the broken
down vehicle. F

S
tart the engine of the vehicle with the
good battery and leave it running for a
few
m
inutes.
F
O
perate the starter on the broken down
vehicle and let the engine run.
I
f the engine does not start straight away,
switch off the ignition and wait a few
moments before trying again.
Starting using another battery
Never try to start the engine by
connecting a battery charger.
Never use a 24 V or higher battery
b o o s t e r.
First check that the slave battery has a
nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity
at least equal to that of the discharged
battery.
The two vehicles must not be in contact
with each other.
Switch off the electrical consumers on
both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, ...).
Ensure that the jump lead cables do
not pass close to moving parts of the
engine (cooling fan, belts, ...).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal when
the engine is running.
When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the
engine can be started using a slave battery
(external or on another vehicle) and jump lead
cables or a battery booster.
F
W
ait until the engine returns to idle then
disconnect the jump lead cables in the
reverse order.
F

R
efit the plastic cover to the (+) terminal, if
your vehicle has one.
F

A
llow the engine to run for at least
30
minutes, by driving or with the vehicle
stationary, so that the battery reaches an
adequate state of charge.
Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged.
F

R
aise the plastic cover on the (+) terminal,
if your vehicle has one.
