check engine Citroen DS4 2011 1.G Owner's Guide

277Practical information
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a genuine
CITROËN towbar is used.



Driving advice


Distribution of loads



)
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.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for details
of the weights and towed loads which apply to
your vehicle.


Side wind



)
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.


)
To lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.

Braking

Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a long
mountain type of descent, the use of engine
braking is recommended.


Ty r e s



)
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the
recommended pressures.



Lighting



)
Check the electrical lighting and signalling
on the trailer.


)
If the warning lamp and the
STOP
warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.

287Technical data

















Identifi cation markings
Various visible markings for the identification of your vehicle.

A.
Vehicle identification number (VIN) under the bonnet.
This number is engraved on the bodywork near
the engine mounting.

B. Vehicle identification number on the
dashboard.

This number is indicated on a self-adhesive
label which is visible through the windscreen.
D. Tyre/paint label.

This label is affixed to the driver's front pillar. Wheels which are fitted with 225/40 R18
tyres cannot be fitted with snow chains.
For more information, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Low tyre pressures increase fuel
consumption. The tyre pressures must be checked
when the tyres are cold, at least once
a month.
C. Manufacturer's label.

The VIN is indicated on a self-destroying label
affixed to the driver's centre pillar. It bears the following information:


- the tyre pressures, for unladen and laden
conditions,

- the wheel rim and tyre sizes,

- the brands of tyre recommended by the
manufacturer,

- the spare tyre inflation pressure,

- the paint colour code.
