Manoeuvre cautiously, at low
speed
The dimensions of your vehicle differ from
those of a light vehicle, in width, in height, as
well as in length, and some obstacles will be
more difficult to notice.
Manoeuvre slowly.
Before turning, check that there are no
obstacles at mid-height along the sides.
Before reversing, check that there are no
obstacles, particularly at high level behind the
vehicle.
Be aware of the external dimensions, if ladders
are fitted.
Load the vehicle correctly
With a load, the vehicle must remain within the
m aximum authorised weight, the Gross Vehicle
Weight.
To avoid upsetting the balance of the vehicle,
the load should be centred and the heaviest part
placed on the floor in front of the rear wheels.
It is inadvisable to place heavy loads on a
roof
rack.
Loading also implies adherence to the
maximum load of the roof bar anchor points.
Adhere to the maximum permissible weight,
according to CITROËN dealer specifications.
Loads must be securely lashed down.
A load that is not properly secured inside the
vehicle may affect vehicle handling and create
a
risk of accident.
Drive the vehicle in a prudent
a nd efficient way
Take corners gently.
Anticipate the need to brake as the stopping
distance is increased, particularly on wet or icy
roads.
Be aware of the effect of side winds on the
vehicle.
Effective eco-driving saves fuel; accelerate
progressively, anticipate the need to slow down
and adapt your speed to suit the situation.
Indicate changes of direction well in advance
so that you are seen by other road users.
Take care
The tyres must be inflated to at least the
pressures indicated on the label, even over-
inflated by 0.2
to 0.3 bar for long journeys.
In case of towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
d emands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.
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 performance. The maximum
towed load must be reduced by 10% for every
1,000
metres of altitude.
For more information on the Technical
data of your vehicle and particularly on
towable loads, refer to the corresponding
section.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to wind.
If your vehicle is fitted with a

drop-side back,
the height and width of the load must remain
within the overall dimensions of the vehicle.

Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
t emperature 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 towable load on an incline
depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature.
In all cases, keep a
check on the coolant
temperature.
F

I
f this warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
New vehicle
Do not pull a
trailer before having driven at
least 620
miles (1,000 kilometres).
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o 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 Headlamp
beam height adjustment , 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.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The keys contain an electronic immobiliser
device.
This device locks the engine supply system.
It activates automatically when the key is
removed from the ignition.
This warning lamp goes off after the
key has been recognised, the ignition is
switched on and the engine can be started.
If the key is not recognised, the engine
cannot be started. Use another key
and have the faulty key checked by
a
CITROËN dealer.
Note the number of the keys carefully; in
case of loss, inter vention by the CITROËN
dealer will be more efficient and quicker
if you present this number and the
confidential card.
When the ignition switch is turned on, a
dialogue is set up between the key and the
electronic immobiliser.
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic immobiliser system.
Operating the remote control, even when it
is in your pocket, may result in involuntary
unlocking of the doors.
The simultaneous use of other high
frequency equipment (mobile telephones,
domestic alarms, etc.), may inter fere
with the operation of the remote control
temporarily.
The remote control does not operate
while the key is in the ignition, even if the
ignition is off, except for reinitialisation.

Pneumatic suspensionThere is a nominal level as well as 6 height
a djustment levels, raising (from +1 to +3) or
lowering (from -1

t
o -3). The levels are indicated
in the instrument panel screen.
Manual adjustment of the
loading height
Raise: upwards adjustment of the
load floor
F Make a quick press on the
control to select the next level
up. Each press (LED on) raises
the floor by one level: +1
to +3.
A long press selects the highest level (+3).
Lower: downwards adjustment of
the load floor
F Make a quick press on the
control to select the next level
down.
If your vehicle is fitted with pneumatic
suspension, you can adjust the height of
the rear of the vehicle to make loading and
unloading easier.
Each press (LED on) lowers the floor by one
level: -1

to -3.
A long press selects the lowest level (-3).
Return to the nominal floor
height
F Press the same number of times in reverse as the level of the position displayed.
Deactivation
F Hold both controls down simultaneously to deactivate the system. The LEDs remain on.
Reactivation
F Holding both controls down simultaneously a second time reactivates the system. The
LEDs go out.
Above 3
mph (5 km/h), the system
reactivates automatically.
Automatic loading height
correction
Above 12 mph (20 km/h), the system
a utomatically returns the rear floor height to its
nominal value.

Operating fault
If a fault occurs with the system, this
w arning lamp comes on.
Have the system checked by a
CITROËN
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Driving with the suspension set too high
or too low poses a risk of damaging
components under the body.
The height may be adjusted automatically
to take account of changes in temperature
or loading.
You must avoid using this control in the
following circumstances:
-
w

hen working underneath the vehicle,
-
w

hen changing a

wheel,
-

w

hen the vehicle is being transported
by lorry, train, ferry, boat, etc.
To avoid damaging the vehicle or injuring
anyone, check that there is no object or
person that might be close to or come into
contact with the vehicle, before raising or
lowering the suspension.
Driving

123
Maintenance
Correct operation is only possible if the towball
and its carrier are kept clean.
Before cleaning the vehicle with a high-
pressure jet wash, the towball must be removed
and the protective plug fitted to the carrier.
Apply the label provided to a


clearly visible
area, close to the carrier or in the boot.
Go to a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop for any work on the towbar
system.
Roof carrying systems
F Remove the towball downwards from its carrier 1 .
F

R
elease the locking wheel; this
automatically stops in the unlocked position
(position B ).
F

R
efit the protective plug to the carrier.
F

C
arefully stow the towball in its bag away
from knocks and dirt. For reasons of safety and to avoid damaging
the roof, it is essential to use a
carrying system
(roof bars or roof rack) that is approved for your
vehicle.
Roof bars can only be fitted to a
van, combi
or minibus model of height H1
or H2. On
a
minibus, check for the presence of roof air
conditioning units.
The carrying system must always be secured to
the fitting points provided on the vehicle's roof:
6, 8
or 10, depending on the wheelbase of the
vehicle.
Obser ve the instructions for fitting and use
provided with the carrying system.
