Familiarisation

Limit the causes of excess consumption


Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in preference.
Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.


At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.


Observe the recommendations on
maintenance


Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label inthe door aperture, driver's side. Carry out this check in par ticular:


- before a long journey,

- at each change of season,

- after a long period out of use.
Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.


Have your vehicle ser viced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter...) andobser ve the schedule of operations recommended by the manufacturer.


When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle toavoid any over flow.


At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down toa consistent average.

comes on in the door mirror on the side in
question as soon as a vehicle - car, lorry,
bicycle - is detected and the following conditions are fulfilled:


- all the vehicles must be moving in the same
direction,

- the speed of your vehicle is between 7 and 87 mph (12 and 140 km/h),

- the difference in speed between your
vehicle and the other vehicles must be lessthan 6 mph (10 km/h),

- the traffic must be flowing normally,

- in the case of an over taking manoeuvre,
if this is prolonged and the vehicle beingover taken remains in the blind spot,

- you are driving on a straight or slightly cur ved road,

- your vehicle is not pulling a trailer, a caravan...
No aler t will be given in the
following situations:
- in the presence of stationary objects (parked vehicles, barriers, street lamps,road signs...),
- with vehicles moving in the opposite
direction,
- driving on a sinuous road or a sharp corner,
- when overtaking
(or being over taken by) a
very long vehicle (lorry, coach...) which is at the same time detected at the rear in theblind spot angle and present in the driver's
for ward field of vision,

- in ver
y heavy traffic: vehicles detected in front and behind are confused with a lorryor a stationary object,

- when overtaking quickly.

Front par king sensors

The sound emitted by the speaker (frontor rear) indicates whether the obstacle is in front or behind.
The system will be deactivatedautomatically if a trailer is beingtowed or a bicycle carrier is fitted ona towbar (vehicle fitted with a towbar installed in line with the manufacturer'srecommendations).

In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the sensors are not covered with mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear isengaged, an audible signal (long beep)indicates that the sensors may be dirty.
Cer tain sound sources (motorcycle,lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger the audible signals of the parkingsensor system. In addition to the rear parkin
g 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).

Deactivation / Activation of thefront and rear parking sensors

The system is deactivated in the " Drivingassistance" menu in the touch screen tablet.


Operating fault

In the event of a malfunction of
the system, when reverse gear
is engaged this warning lamp is
displa
yed in the instrument panel and/or a message appears, accompaniedby an audible signal (short beep).
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
)Press this button. The indicator lamp in the button comes on.
Pressin
g this button again reactivates the system.The indicator lamp in the button goes off.

High pressure jet wash
When washing your vehicle, do notdirect the lance within 30 cm of thesensors.

The parking sensors are deactivated while the Park Assist system is measuring a space.See the "Park Assist" section.

Driving
The system is deactivated automatically:


- on switching off the ignition,

- if the engine stalls,

- if no manoeuvre is star ted within 5 minutes
of selection of the t
ype of manoeuvre,

- after a prolonged stop of the vehicle during a manoeuvre,

- if the road wheel anti-spin regulation (ASR) is triggered,

- if the speed of the vehicle exceeds thestated limit,

- when the driver interrupts movement of the steering wheel,

- if the driver presses the Park Assist control.

- after 4 manoeuvre c
ycles,

- on opening the driver's door,

- if one of the front wheels encounters anobstacle.
The operation indicator lamp goes off in the
instrument panel and a message is displayed
accompanied b
y an audible signal.
The driver should then take back control of thevehicle's steering.


Deactivation


If the system is deactivated during a manoeuvre, the drive should reactivate it manually to repeat the measurement.
The s
ystem is switched off automatically:
- when towing a trailer,
- if the driver's door is opened,
- if the speed of the vehicle is above 42 mph(70 km/h).
To switch the system of for a prolonged period, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

In the event of a fault with the system,
this warning lamp is displayed in the
instrument panel and a messa
ge appears,
accompanied b
y an audible signal.
Operating faults
In the event of a fault with the power steering, this warning lamp
comes on in the instrument panel accompanied by an aler t message.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Switching off

If the lateral distance between your vehicle and the space is too great, the system maynot be able to measure the space.
Anything projecting beyond the envelopeof the vehicle (long or wide load) is not taken into account by the Park Assist system during a manoeuvre.

In bad weather or in winter, ensure thatthe sensors are not covered by road dir t, ice or snow.
In the event of a fault, have the systemchecked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
The indicator lamp
for the function flashes for a few seconds.
If the fault occurs during the use of
the system, the indicator lamp goesoff.

Practical information








Towing a trailer
We recommend the use of genuineCITROËN towbars and their harnessesthat have been tested and approved from the design stage of your vehicle, and that the fitting of the towbar is entrusted to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.If the towbar is not fitted by a CITROËNdealer, it is imperative that it is fitted in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's instructions. T
owbar suitable for the attachment of atrailer or installation of a bicycle carrier, with additional lighting and signalling.
Your vehicle is primaril
y designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it mayalso be used for towing a trailer.
Driving with a trailer places greater demands on the towing vehicle and the driver must take par ticular care.

Driving advice


Distribution of loads
)Distribute the load in the trailer so that theheaviest 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
To w i ng a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electricall
y 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.
) If the warning lamp and the
STOPwarning 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.

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


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

When not towing a trailer, remove thequickly-detachable tow ball beforedriving.

Technical data
* The kerb weight is equal to the unladen weight + driver (75 kg). **

The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit, if the GVW of the towing vehicle is reduced by an equal amount; warning,
towing using a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its road holding.
