WARNING LIGHTS
Each time the engine is started: a series of warning lights comes on applying a check auto-test. They are switched off almost
immediately. When the engine is running: the warnin g light becomes a warning if it remains on continuously or flashes. This initial
warning may be accompanied by an audible signal and a message on the display.
Do not ignore these warnings

FUEL GAUGE
The fuel level is tested each time the key is
turned to the "running" position.
The gauge is positioned on:
COOLANT TEMPERATURE

The needle is positioned between the
blue zone and the red zone: normal
operation.
In arduous conditions of use or hot climatic
conditions, the needle may move close to
the red graduations.
What you should do if the warning light
comes on:
- stop immediately, switch off the ignition. Th e
fan may continue to operate for a certain
time up to approximately 10 minutes.
- 1: the fuel tank is full, approximately
80 litres.
- 0: the reserve is now being used, the
warning light comes on continuously.
The reserve when the warning first
comes on is approximately 8 litres.
Refer to the "Fuel" section of
chapter 7.
What you should do if the needle enters
the red zone:
Reduce your speed or let the engine
run at idle. - wait for the engine to cool down in order
to check the coolant level and top it up if
necessary.
As the cooling system is pressurised, follow
this advice in order to avoid any risk of
scalding:
- wait at least one hour after switching off the engine before carrying out any work,
- unscrew the cap by 1/4 turn to allow the pressure to drop,
- when the pressure has dropped, check the level on the expansion bottle,
- if necessary, remove the cap to top up.
If the needle remains in the red zone, have
the system checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Refer to the "Levels" section of
chapter 7.

Towing a trailer
For more information about weights,
refer to the administrative documents
(V5 registration document, ...) or to the
"Weights" section of chapter 9.
TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...

Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest objects are as close as possible
to the axle and the nose weight is close to
the maximum authorised without, however,
exceeding it.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
coolant temperature.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on the
engine speed.
Driving advice
A towed vehicle must free wheel: gearbox in
neutral.

Towing a trailer
ACCESSORIES
6
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower the
engine speed and reduce your speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature. Tyres: check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (see the "Identification
features" section of chapter 9) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressure. Towbar
We recommend the use of original
CITROËN towbars and their harnesses,
which have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle, and that
you entrust the fitting of this equipment to a
CITROËN dealer.
If this equipment is not fitted by a CITROËN
dealer, it is imperative that it is fitted using
the electrical pre-equipment installed at the
rear of the vehicle and in accordance with
the manufacturer ’s instructions.
In accordance with the general instructions
a reminder of which has been given above,
we draw your attention to the risk linked with
fitting a towbar or electrical accessory not
recommended by CITROËN . Fitting such
equipment could result in the failure of your
vehicle’s electronic system. Please contact
a CITROËN dealer for information before
fitting this type of equipment.
If the coolant temperature warning
light comes on, stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine as soon
as possible.
Good Practice
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a steep
slope in high temperatures), the engine
automatically limits its power. In this
case, the automatic cutting off of the air
conditioning allows the engine power to be
recovered.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 7.
Brakes
Towing increases the braking distance. Drive
at a moderate speed, change down early
and brake gradually.

Side wind
Sensitivity to side wind is increased. Drive
smoothly and at a moderate speed.

ABS/ESP
The ABS or ESP systems only control the
vehicle, not the trailer or caravan.

Rear parking assistance
The assistance does not function while the
vehicle is towing.

CHECKS
7
Cooling system
Only use the fluid recommended by the
manufacturer.
Otherwise, you risk seriously damaging your
engine.
When the engine is warm, the temperature
of the coolant is controlled by the engine
fan. As this fan can operate with the ignition
key removed and because the cooling
system is pressurised, wait for at least one
hour after the engine has stopped before
carrying out any work.
Slacken the cap by 1/4 of a turn to release
the pressure to prevent any risk of scalding.
When the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level with coolant.
If fluid has to be added frequently, this
indicates a failure which must be checked by
a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible. The vehicle must be parked on level ground
with the engine cold. Unscrew the cap
integrated with the gauge and check the
level which must be between the MIN and
MAX marks.
Diesel additive level(Diesel with particle emission filter)
The minimum level of this additive
is indicated by lighting of the service warning
light, accompanied by an audible signal and
a message on the display.
When this occurs with the engine running it
is due to the start of saturation of the particle
emission filter (exceptionally prolonged
urban type driving conditions: low speed,
long traffic jams, ...).
In order to regenerate the filter, you are
advised to drive at a speed higher than
40 mph (60 km/h) for at least five minutes
as soon as possible, when traffic conditions
permit (until the message disappears and
the service warning light is switched off).
During regeneration of the particle emission
filter, relay noise may be heard under the
fascia.
If the message is still displayed and if the
service warning light remains on, contact a
CITROËN dealer.
Topping up
The level must be between the MIN and
MAX marks on the expansion bottle. If
more than 1 litre of fluid is required to top
up the level, have the system checked by a
CITROËN dealer.
Windscreen wash and headlamp wash level
For best quality cleaning and for your safety,
we would advise that you use products of
the CITROËN Universal range.
Capacity of the screenwash reservoir:
approximately 4.5 litres.
If your vehicle is fitted with headlamp
washers, the capacity of the reservoir
is 7.5 litres.
To guarantee optimum cleaning and prevent
freezing, this fluid must not be topped up or
replaced with water.
Topping up
It is imperative that this additive is topped up
by a CITROËN dealer without delay.
