When towing
Distribution of loads
F 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.
Side wind
F 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.
F

T
o 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.
F

I
f the warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of
engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the headlamp beam
height of your vehicle.
For more information on Weights
, refer
to the corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the
audible signal if a genuine CITROËN
towbar is used.
If the ambient temperature is high, it
is recommended that the engine be
allowed to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after
the vehicle comes to a stop, to facilitate
its cooling. For more information on Adjusting the
headlamp beam height
, refer to the
corresponding section.

displayed speed flashes.
Once the vehicle returns to the programmed
speed, the display becomes steady again.
Switching off
F Turn thumbwheel 1 to the "0" position. T
he display of information related to the
cruise control disappears. Flashing of the dashes indicates a fault with the
cruise control.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Operating faultWhen the cruise control is switched on,
be careful if you maintain the pressure
on one of the programmed speed
changing buttons: this may result in a
very rapid change in the speed of your
vehicle.
Do not use the cruise control on
slippery roads or in heavy traffic.
On a steep descent, the cruise control
will not be able to prevent the vehicle
from exceeding the programmed speed.
On steep climbs or when towing,
the programmed speed may not be
achieved or maintained.
The use of mats not approved by
CITROËN may inter fere with the
operation of the cruise control.

In the event of a fault with the dynamic cruise
control, you are alerted by an audible signal
and display of the message message "Driving
aid functions fault".
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Operating faultThe dynamic cruise control operates
by day and at night, in fog or moderate
rainfall.When the cruise control is working, take
care if making a maintained press on
one of the cruise control programmed
speed modification buttons: this can
lead to a very quick change in the
speed of your vehicle.
Do not use the dynamic cruise control
on slippery sur faces or in heavy traffic.
When descending a steep hill, the
cruise control may not be able to
prevent the vehicle from exceeding the
programmed speed.
When ascending a steep hill or when
towing, it might not be possible to
achieve or maintain the programmed
speed.
The use of mats not approved by
CITROËN may inter fere with the
operation of the dynamic cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
-

e
nsure that mats are secured
c o r r e c t l y,
-

n
ever fit one mat on top of another.
It is recommended that you always keep
your feet close to the pedals.
If the difference between the
programmed speed setting and the
speed of the vehicle in front is too
great, the speed cannot be adjusted:
the cruise control is automatically
deactivated. The system does not act on the braking
system, but works only with engine
braking.
The regulation range is limited: there
will no longer be any adjustment of
speed if the difference between the
programmed speed setting and the
speed of the vehicle in front becomes
too high.
The dynamic cruise control cannot
in any circumstances replace the
observation of speed limits, nor the
need for the vigilance on the part of the
driver.

case of a pedestrian,
-

i
f the passenger seat belts are fastened,
-

i
f the vehicle is not accelerating sharply,
-

i
f the vehicle is not in a tight corner.
The
Collision Risk Alert system allows the
driver to be warned that their vehicle is at
risk of collision with the vehicle in front or a
pedestrian in their traffic lane.
The Active Safety Brake system inter venes
following the aler t if the driver does not
react quickly enough and does not operate
the vehicle's brakes.
If the driver fails to act, it contributes
towards avoiding a collision or limiting
its severity by reducing the speed of your
vehicle. These systems use a radar located in the
front bumper and a camera at the top of the
windscreen.
These system are designed to improve
road safety.
It is the driver's responsibility to
continuously monitor the state of the
traffic, observing the driving regulations.
These systems do not replace the need
for vigilance on the part of the driver. The Collision Risk Alert
system only
operates:
-
w
ith a registered vehicle pointing in the
same direction as the traffic, moving or
stationary,
-
w
ith pedestrians.

Operating fault
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.The system may suffer temporary
interference in certain weather
conditions (rain, hail...).
In particular, driving on a wet sur face
or moving from a dry area to a wet area
can cause false alerts (for example, the
presence of a fog of water droplets in
the blind spot angle is interpreted as a
vehicle).
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that
the sensors are not covered by mud,
ice or snow.
Take care not to cover the warning zone
in the door mirrors or the detection
zones on the front and rear bumpers
with adhesive labels or other objects;
they may hamper the correct operation
of the system.
Depending on your vehicle's equipment:
With the touch screen
In the Driving
menu, activate/deactivate " Blind
spot monitoring ".
In the event of a fault, these warning lamps
flash.
The indicator lamp in this button
flashes and a message appears,
accompanied by an audible signal.
The state of the system remains in
memory on switching off the ignition.
The system is automatically deactivated
when towing with a towbar approved by
CITROËN.
High pressure jet wash
When washing your vehicle, do not
place the tip of the lance within 30 cm
of the sensors as otherwise there is a
risk of damaging them.
