Automatic rain sensitive
windscreen wipers
The windscreen wipers operate automatically,
without any action on the par t of the driver, if
rain is detected (sensor behind the rear view mirror), adapting their speed to the intensity of
the rainfall.

Switching on

Briefly push the control stalkdownwards.
This warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel and a messa
ge is
displayed. Brie
fly push the control stalkdownwards again, or place
the control stalk in another
position
(Int, 1 or 2).
This warning lamp goes off in the instrumentpanel and a message is displayed.
Switching off


The automatic rain sensitive windscreenwipers must be reactivated by pushing the control stalk downwards, if theignition has been off for more than one minute.

Do not cover the rain sensor, linked with the sunshine sensor and located in the centre of the windscreen behind the rear view mirror. Switch off the automatic rain sensitive wipers when using an automatic car wash.
In winter, it is advisable to wait until thewindscreen is completely clear of ice before activating the automatic rainsensitive wipers.
Operating fault
If a fault occurs with the automatic rain
sensitive wipers, the wipers will operate in intermittent mode.
Have it checked by CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Special position of the
windscreen wipers
This position permits release of the windscreen
wiper blades.
It is used for cleaning or replacement of the blades. It can also be useful, in winter, todetach the blades from the windscreen.


To maintain the effectiveness of the "flat-blade" type of wiper blades, it is advisable to:


- handle them with care,

- clean them regularly using soapywater,

- avoid using them to retain cardboard on the windscreen,

- replace them at the first signs of wear.


)
Any action on the wiper stalk in the minute
after switching off the ignition places the
blades vertically on the screen.) To park the blades again, switch on theignition and operate the wiper stalk.

Ty r e u n d e r - i nfl ation detection System which automatically checks the pressure of the tyres while driving.
Sensors fitted in each valve trigger a warning in
the event of malfunction (speed above 12 mph(20 km/h)).
The spare wheel is not fitted with a sensor.

All repairs and changing of tyres on a wheel fitted with this system must becarried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If, when changing a tyre, you install a wheel which is not detected by your vehicle (example: fitting of snow tyres),you must have the system reinitialised by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifiedworkshop.
This message is also displayed whenone of the wheels is away from thevehicle (being repaired) or when one or more wheels without a sensor are fitted.


The tyre under-inflation detectionsystem is an aid to driving which doesnot replace the need for the driver to bevigilant or to drive responsibly.

This system does not avoid the needto have the tyre pressures checkedregularly (refer to "Identification markings") to ensure that the optimumdynamic per formance of the vehicle is maintained and prevent premature wear of the tyres, particularly in arduousdriving conditions (heavy load, highspeed). The tyre pressures must be checked cold, at least once a month. Remember to check the pressure of the spare wheel.

The tyre under-inflation detectionsystem may experience temporary inter ference due to electromagnetic signals on a frequency close to thatused by the system.
A message appears in the instrument panel screen, accompanied by an audible signal,
to identify the wheel concerned.
Under-infl ated tyre
This warning lamp andthe STOPwarning lamp come on, accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the
instrument panel screen identifying the wheelconcerned. )Stop immediately, avoiding any sudden
movement of the steering wheel and the brakes.) Change the damaged wheel (puncturedor very deflated tyre), and have the tyre
pressure checked as soon as possible.


Puncture

A message appears in the instrument panel
screen, accompanied by an audible signal,
to identi
fy the wheel or wheels which are not
detected or to indicate a fault in the system.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to replace the faulty sensor(s).


Sensor(s) not detected or faulty
)Check the tyre pressures as soon as possible. This check must be carried out when the tyres are cold.

Changing a wheel Procedure for changing a faulty wheel for the spare wheel using the tools provided with the vehicle *
.
Th
e tools are installed in the boot under the floor.

217Practical information

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 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
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 inclinedepends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
) If the warning lamp and theSTOPwarning 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 engine
braking is recommended.


Tyres
)
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.



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

R
efer to the "Technical Data" section for detailsof the weights and towed loads which apply to your vehicle.
