In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the sensors are not covered with mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is
engaged, an audible signal (long beep)indicates that the sensors may be dirty.
When the vehicle is moving at a speed below 6 mph (10 km/h), cer tain sound sources (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger the audiblesignals of the parking sensor system.
In th
e event of a malfunctionof the system, when reverse gear is engaged this warning
lamp is displayed in the instrument paneland/or a message appears in the screen,
accompanied by an audible signal (short beep).
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Operating fault
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the front parking sensors are triggered when an obstacle
is detected in front and the speed of the vehicle
is still below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in for ward
gear, if no fur ther obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
Front par king sensors
The function will be deactivated automatically if a trailer is being towed or a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier recommended by CITROËN).



Deactivation / Activation of thefront and rear parking sensors

The function is deactivated by pressing thisbutton. The indicator lamp in the button comes on.
Pressing this button again reactivates the
function. The indicator lamp in the button
goes off.



The sound emitted by the speaker (front
or rear) indicates whether the obstacle is in front or behind.

Towing a trailer


Towbar suitable for the attachment of atrailer or installation of a bicycle carrier, with
additional li
ghting and signalling.

When not towing a trailer, remove thequickly-detachable tow ball beforedriving, so as to avoid masking the
central rear lamp.
Maximum trailer weight

You must not tow a trailer weighing more than 500 kg.








Vehicle recovery
Before doing any work, with the ignition on, press the brake pedal and put the gear selector toposition N
, then switch off the hybrid system.
If necessary because access to the vehicle is difficult, it can be moved a few dozen metres at a speed not exceeding 6 mph (10 km/h).
Th
e front or rear wheels must not be on the
ground, use a flat-bed lorry or trailer to recover
the vehicle.
Use the towing eyes only to pull a vehicle out or
to pull it onto a flat-bed.

Your vehicle is primaril
y designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it mayalso be used for towing a trailer.

227Practical information

We recommend the use of genuine
CITROËN towbars and their harnesses that have been tested and approvedfrom the design stage of your vehicle,and that the fitting of the towbar is
entrusted to a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by a CITROËN dealer, it is imperative that it isfitted in accordance with the vehiclemanufacturer's instructions.
Driving advice
Distribution of loads
)
Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest items are as close as possible to
t
he axle and the nose weight approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced b
y 10 % for every 1 000 metres of altitude.
Side wind
)
Take into account the increased sensitivity
to side wind.

Cooling
To w i ng 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.
)If the warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.

Braking

To w i ng a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a long
mountain type of descent, the use of enginebraking is recommended.

Tyres
)
Check the tyre pressures of the towingvehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the
recommended pressures.



Lighting
)
Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.



The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a genuineCITROËN towbar is used.



Driving with a trailer places greater demands on the towing vehicle and the driver must take par ticular care.
The maximum towed load on a long incline depends on the gradient and the ambient
tem
perature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.

efer to the "Technical Data" section for details
of the weights and towed loads which apply toyour vehicle.
