WARNING LAMPS

Every time the engine is started: a series of warning lamps comes on, applying a self-checking test. They go off almost
immediately. When the engine is running: a warning lamp becomes a warning sign if it remains on continuously or flashes. This
initial warning may be accompanied by an audible signal and a message in the screen. "Do not ignore these warnings."

Starting and stopping


HILL START ASSIST

This function, linked with the ESP, makes hill
starts easier and is activated in the following
conditions:


- the vehicle must be stationary, engine
running, foot on the brake,

- the gradient of the road must be steeper
than 5%,

- uphill, the gearbox must be in neutral or
in a gear other than reverse,

- downhill, reverse gear must be engaged.
The HHC (Hill Holder Control) or Hill Start
Assist function is a driving comfort system. It
is not an automatic vehicle parking function
or an automatic parking brake. Operation
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal
pressed, from the time you release the brake
pedal you have approximately 2 seconds
before the vehicle starts to roll back and
without using the parking brake within which
to move off.
During the moving off phase, the function
is deactivated automatically, gradually
releasing the braking pressure. During
this phase, the characteristic noise of
mechanical release of the brakes may be
heard, indicating the imminent movement of
the vehicle.

Operating fault

If a malfunction of the system
occurs, this warning lamp comes
on accompanied by an audible
signal and confirmed by a
message in the screen. Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop to
have the system checked. Hill start assist is deactivated in the following
situations:


- when the clutch pedal is released,

- when the parking brake is applied,

- when the engine is switched off,

- when the engine stalls.

Driving safely


DRIVING SAFELY
PARKING BRAKE HAZARD WARNING LAMP
S

Press this button, the direction indicators
flash.
They can operate with the ignition off.
The hazard warning lamps should only be
used in dangerous situations, when stopping
in an emergency or when driving in unusual
conditions.
Applying

Pull the parking brake lever up to immobilise
your vehicle.
Check that the parking brake is applied
firmly before leaving the vehicle.

If the parking brake is still on or has not
been released properly, this is indicated
by this warning lamp which comes on on
the instrument panel.
When parking on a slope, direct your
wheels towards the pavement and pull the parking
brake lever up.
There is no advantage in engaging a gear after
parking the vehicle, particularly if the vehicle is loaded.

Pull on the parking brake lever, only
with the vehicle stationary
.
Releasing

Pull the lever and press the button to lower
the parking brake lever. In the exceptional case of use of the
parking brake when the vehicle is
moving, apply the brake by pulling gently
to avoid locking the rear wheels (risk of
skidding).

Towing a trailer

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.
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
markings" section of chapter 9) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressures.
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
the fitting of this equipment is entrusted 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.


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.
If the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
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:
the system only controls the vehicle,
not the trailer.

Rear parking sensors:
the system does not
operate while the vehicle is towing.

Air filter and passenger compartmentfilter

A clogged passenger compartment fi lter may
reduce the performance of the air conditioning
system and generate undesirable odours. The
replacement intervals for these components
are indicated in the servicing booklet.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle
(urban driving...), change them twice as often
if necessary, refer to the "Under the bonnet"
section of chapter 7.
Manual gearbox

Have the level checked in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
To check the main levels and certain
components, in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule, refer to
the pages of the servicing booklet which
correspond to your vehicle's engine.
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent quality
and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of units as
important as the braking system, CITROËN
selects and offers specific products.
In order to avoid damaging the electrical
units, high pressure washing to clean the
engine compartment is strictly prohibited.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too great
or there is a reduction in the performance
of the system, the parking brake should be
adjusted, even between services.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer. Bleeding the water contained in the Diesel filter

If this warning lamp comes on,
bleed the filter, otherwise bleed
regularly each time the engine oil
is changed.
To drain the water out, unscrew the bleed
screw or the water in Diesel sensor, located
at the base of the filter. Leave open until
all of the water has been drained out. Then
tighten the bleed screw or the water sensor.
HDi engines use advanced technology. All
work requires a special qualification which is
guaranteed by a CITROËN dealer.
Battery

At the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a CITROËN dealer.

Brake pads

Brake pad wear depends on the style of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the thickness of the
pads, even between services.
Unless there is a leak on the system, a drop
in the brake fluid level indicates that the
brake pads are worn.


Brake disc/drum wear status

For any information relating to checking
the brake disc/drum wear status, contact a
CITROËN dealer.
Oil filter

Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the servicing schedule.






The presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates the
use of a specific 12 V lead-acid battery
with special technology and specification.
The involvement of a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop is essential when
replacing or disconnecting the battery.
