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  
b

ars,   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 in the   door   aperture,   driver's   side.
Carry
  out   this   check   in   particular:
-
 
b
efore   a   long   journey,
-
 
a
t   each   change   of   season,
-
 
a
fter   a   long   period   out   of   use.
Don't
  forget   the   spare   wheel   and   the   tyres   on   any   trailer   or   caravan.
Have
  your   vehicle   serviced   regularly   (engine   oil,   oil   filter,   air   filter,  
p

assenger   compartment   filter...)   and   observe   the   schedule   of  
o

perations   recommended   in   the   manufacturer's   service   schedule.
With
  a   BlueHDi   Diesel   engine,   if   the   SCR   system   is   faulty   your   vehicle  
b

ecomes   polluting;   go   to   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop  
w

ithout   delay   to   have   the   emissions   of   nitrogen   oxides   brought   back   to  
t

he   legal   level.
When
  refuelling,   do   not   continue   after   the   third   cut-off   of   the   nozzle   to  
a

void   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   to  
a

  consistent   average.

Operating faults
If several foot movements below the rear bumper   fail   to   open   the   tailgate,   wait   a  
f

ew seconds   before   starting   again.
The
  function   is   automatically   deactivated   in   the  
e

vent   of   heavy   rain   or   accumulation   of   snow.
If
  the   function   fails   to   operate,   check  
t

hat   the   electronic   key   is   not   exposed   to  
s

trong   electromagnetic   inter ference   (a  
s

mar tphone, ...).
The
  function   may   not   work   correctly   with   a  
pro

sthetic
 le
g.
The
  function   may   not   work   correctly   if   your  
v

ehicle   is   fitted   with   a   towbar. In
  some   circumstances,   the   tailgate   may   only  o
pen   or   close,   particularly   if:
-
 
y
our   vehicle   is   fitted   with   a   towbar,
-
 
y
ou   hitch   or   unhitch   a   trailer,
-
 
y
ou   fit   or   remove   a   bicycle   carrier,
-
 
y
ou   load   or   unload   bicycles   from   a   bicycle  
c

a r r i e r,
-
 
y
ou   place   or   lift   something   behind   the  
v

ehicle,
-
 
a
n   animal   approaches   the   bumper,
-
 
y
ou   are   washing   your   vehicle,
-
 
a
  service   is   being   carried   out   on   your  
v

ehicle,
-
 
y
ou   are   accessing   the   spare   wheel  
(

depending
 o
n
 v
ersion).
To
  avoid   such   operating   problems,   keep   the  
e

lectronic   key   away   from   the   recognition   zone  
o

r   deactivate   "Hands-Free   Tailgate   Access".
Ensure
  that   no   object   or   person   might   prevent  
t

he   correct   opening   or   closing   of   the   tailgate.
Be
  particularly   aware   of   children   when  
o

perating   the   tailgate.

When towing
Distribution of loads
F Distribute  the   load   in   the   trailer   so   that   the h
eaviest   items   are   as   close   as   possible   to t

he   axle   and   the   nose   weight   approaches   the
 m

aximum   permitted   without   exceeding   it.
Air
  density   decreases   with   altitude,   thus  
r

educing   engine   per formance.   Above  
1 0

00 metres,   the   maximum   towed   load   must  
b

e   reduced   by   10 %   for   every   1 000   metres   of  
al

titude.
Side wind
F Take   into   account   the   increased   sensitivity  t
o   side   wind.
For
  more   information   on   Weights
, refer
to   the   corresponding   section.
The   rear   parking   sensors   will   be  
d

eactivated   automatically   to   avoid   the  
a

udible   signal   if   a   genuine   CITROËN  
t

owbar   is   used.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature   of   the   coolant.
As
  the   fan   is   electrically   controlled,   its   cooling  
c

apacity   is   not   dependent   on   the   engine   speed.
F
 
T
o   lower   the   engine   speed,   reduce   your  
s

peed.
The
  maximum   towed   load   on   a   long   incline  
d

epends   on   the   gradient   and   the   ambient  
t

emperature.
In
  all   cases,   keep   a   check   on   the   coolant  
t

emperature. F
 
I
f   the   warning   lamp   and   the  
S

TOP
 
warning   lamp   come   on,  
s

top   the   vehicle   and   switch   off  
t

he   engine   as   soon   as   possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o   avoid   overheating   of   the   brakes,   the   use   of  
e

ngine   braking   is   recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check  the   tyre   pressures   of   the   towing  v
ehicle   and   of   the   trailer,   observing   the  
re

commended
 p
ressures.
Lighting
F Check  the   electrical   lighting   and   signalling  o
n   the   trailer   and   the   headlamp   beam  
h

eight   of   your   vehicle.
For
  more   information   on   Adjusting the
headlamp beam height , refer to the
corresponding
 s

ection.

Limits of operation
The system cannot exceed the limits of the laws   of   physics.
It
  is   recommended   that   the   system   be  
d

eactivated   when   the   "space-saver"   spare  
w

heel   is   in   use.
The
  system   should   not   be   activated   when  
t

owing   a   trailer.
In
  certain   critical   situations,   the   system   will  
e

ncourage   the   driver   to   immediately   take   back  
c

ontrol:
-
 
i
f   the   vehicle   in   front   slows   down   too   much  
o

r   too   suddenly,   and   the   driver   does   not  
b

rake,
-
 
i
f   a   vehicle   comes   between   your   vehicle  
a

nd   the   vehicle   in   front. As
  the   radar's   field   of   detection   is   quite   narrow,  
i

t   is   possible   that   the   system   may   not   detect:
-
 
v
ehicles   of   reduced   width   (motorcycles,  
s

cooters...),
-
 
v
ehicles   not   running   in   the   middle   of   the  
lan

e,
-
 
v
ehicles   entering   a   corner,
-
 
v
ehicles   suddenly   pulling   out.The
  cruise   control   does   not   take   account   of:
-
 
p
edestrians,   cyclists,   animals,
-
 
s
tationary   vehicles   (traffic   jam,   red   light,  
b

reakdown...),
-
 
v
ehicles   crossing   a   junction,
-
 
v
ehicles   driving   in   the   opposite   direction.

Front parking sensors
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or   rear)   indicates   whether   the   obstacle  
i

s   in   front   or   behind. The
  system   will   be   deactivated  a
utomatically   if   a   trailer   is   being  
t

owed   or   a   bicycle   carrier   is   fitted   on  
a

  towbar   (vehicle   fitted   with   a   towbar  
i

nstalled   in   line   with   the   manufacturer's  
r

ecommendations).In
  bad   weather   or   in   winter,   ensure  t
hat   the   sensors   are   not   covered   with  
m

ud,   ice   or   snow.   When   reverse   gear   is  
e

ngaged,   an   audible   signal   (long   beep)  
i

ndicates   that   the   sensors   may   be   dirty.
Certain
  sound   sources   (motorcycle,
