gearbox CITROEN RELAY 2016 Handbook (in English)

43drIVInG rEcOMMEndAtIO n S
Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep
your hands on the wheel so that you are
ready to react at any time to any eventuality.
On a long journey, a break every two hours
is strongly recommended.
In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate
the need to brake and increase the distance
from other vehicles.
driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on
flooded roads, as this could cause serious
damage to the engine or gearbox, as well as
to the electrical systems of your vehicle. If you are obliged to drive through water:
-

check that the depth of water does not

exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves
that might be generated by other users,
-
deactivate the Stop & Start system,
-

drive as slowly as possible without

stalling. In all cases, do not exceed
6 mph (10 km/h),
-

do not stop and do not switch of
f the
engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as
circumstances allow, make several light
brake applications to dry the brake discs and
pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Important!
Never drive with the parking brake applied -
Risk of overheating and damage to the
braking system!
Do not park or run the engine when
stationary in areas where inflammable
substances and materials (dry grass, dead
leaves...) might come into contact with the
hot exhaust system - Risk of fire!
Never leave a vehicle unsupervised with
the engine running. If you have to leave
your vehicle with the engine running, apply
the parking brake and put the gearbox into
neutral.

Starting and switching off

104
Hill descent control
System that provides assistance when
descending on surfaces with poor grip (mud,
gravel...) or on a steep gradient.
This system reduces the risk of slip or loss
of control of the vehicle while descending a
hill.
It keeps the vehicle at a steady speed during
a descent by acting independently and with
varying force on each of the brakes.Switching off
Press this button, located in the middle of the
dashboard, to deactivate the system; the indicator
lamp in the button goes off.
Above 30 mph (50 km/h), the system is completely
deactivated; the indicator lamp in the button goes off.
Operating fault
If a fault occurs with the hill
descent control system, this
warning lamp comes on.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Switching on
On starting the vehicle, the system is
deactivated.
With the speed below 18 mph (30 km/h)
press this button, located in the middle of
the dashboard, to activate the system; the
indicator lamp in the button comes on.
Once the vehicle starts its descent, you can
release the accelerator and brake pedals;
the indicator lamp in the button flashes.
The brake lamps come on automatically
when the system is brought into operation.
If the speed of the vehicle exceeds 18

mph
(30 km/h), the system is automatically
deactivated, but the indicator lamp in the
button stays on.
The system reactivates automatically as
soon as the speed of the vehicle drops
below 18 mph (30 km/h).
For the system to operate, the slope
must be steeper than 8%.
Do not use the system with the gearbox in
neutral.
Engage an appropriate gear for the speed of
the vehicle, to avoid the engine stalling.
You can press the accelerator or brake
pedal at any time. The system may not be available if the
brakes overheat. Wait a few minutes
for them to cool down before trying again.
Driving safely

132
Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance with
the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
Good practice
Oil filter
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.
Brake disc wear
For any information on checking the brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
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 or a qualified workshop.
If this warning lamp comes on,
have the brake pad wear checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. In order to avoid damaging the
electrical units, we strongly advise you
not to use high pressure washing to clean
the engine compartment.
After washing the vehicle dampness, or in
winter, ice may form on the brake discs and
pads: braking efficiency may be reduced.
Make some light brake applications to dry
and de-ice the brakes. 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.
Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the manufacturer's servicing schedule.

t
owing the vehicle
The removable towing eye is located in the
tool box under the front passenger seat.
Unclip the cover using a flat tool.
Screw the removable towing eye in fully.
Attach the approved towing arm to to the
removable towing eye.
Place the gear lever in neutral.
towing another vehicle
The fixed towing eye is located on the right
below the bumper.
Attach the approved towing arm to the fixed
eye.
Failure to observe this requirement
may result in damage to certain braking
components and the lack of some braking
assistance systems when the engine is re-
started.
General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in your
country.
Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle
is higher than that of the towed vehicle.
The driver must remain at the wheel of the
towed vehicle and must have a valid driving
licence.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground, always use an approved
towing arm; rope and straps are prohibited.
The towing vehicle must move off gently.
When towing a vehicle with the engine off,
there is no longer any power assistance for
braking or steering.
In the following cases, you must always call
on a professional recovery service:
-

vehicle broken down on a motorway or

fast road,
-

four-wheel drive vehicle,
-


when it is not possible to put the

gearbox into neutral, unlock the
steering, or release the parking brake,
-

towing with only two wheels on the

ground,
-

where there is no approved towing arm

available...

The Diesel engines are perfectly compatible with biofuels which conform \
to current and future European standards (Diesel fuel which
complies with standard EN 590 mixed with a biofuel which complies with s\
tandard EN 14214) available at the pumps (containing up
to 5% Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
