To access them:
- at the front : push at top left, then pull on right.
- at the rear : push at bottom, then pull on top.
The cover remains attached to the bumper by means of a tab, so t hat it cannot become lost.
The ignition key should be in position “M” so as to retain steering.
Use a bar with hooks to attach on the towing rings.
If the engine is not running, the steering and braking systems will not be power-assisted.
If towing another vehicle, the latter should be free-wheeling (that is, gearbox in neutral). Failing to respect this point may damage some braking components and lead to the failure of the braking assistance func-tion when the engine is next started.
Removable towing ring
The towing ring is detachable and c a n b e fi t t e d e i t h e r a t t h e f r o n t o r a t the rear of the vehicle. It is stowed with the tools either in the storage fl a p u n d e r t h e s e c o n d - r o w f o o t w e l l or (according to equipment) in the boot well.

Advice
In exceptional circumstances, it is permitted to tow the vehicle at low speed over a short distance(depending on local legislation in force).
In all other cases, the vehicle must be transported by a trans-porter.
CAUTION - TOWING A VEHICLE WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Put the selector lever in posi-tion N (neutral).

QUESTIONSANSWERSSOLUTIONS
The rec eption qualit y of the radio station being listened to gradually deteriorates.
The vehicle is too distant from the transmitter, or no transmitter is present in the geographical area you are passing th rough.
Activate the RDS function to allow the system to chec k whether a more power ful transmitter is to be found in the geographical area.
The environment (hills, high buildings, tunnels, underground car parks, etc.) is blocking reception, even in RDS mode.This phenomenon is normal and does not imply anythi ng wrong with the radio.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example after going through a car wash or in an underground car park).Have the aerial checked by a CITROËN dealer.
When the engine is not running, the radio stops after a few minutes.
When the engine is switched off, the working time fo r the radio depends on the batter y charge. The interruption is nor mal: the radio goes into economy mode, cutting off in order to save the vehicle’s batter y.
You have to star t the engine so as to increase the bat-ter y charge.
T h e m e s s a g e “ t h e a u d i o s y s t e m i s o v e r h e a t i n g ” a p p e a r s o n t h e screen.
In order to protect the audio equipment in excessiv e ambient temperatures, the radio goes into an automatic thermic protection mode which results in a reduction in sound volume or stopping of the CD player.
Switch off the audio system for a few minutes in order to allow the system to cool down.
Why is one not informed in real time of a hold-up on the route even though t h e o p t i o n f o r g u i d a n c e b y “ t r a f fi c i n f o ” is activated ?
When you star t up, the system takes a few minutes to c apture t h e t r a f fi c i n f o r m a t i o n v i a R D S - T M C . W a i t f o r t h e t r a f fi c i n f o r m a t i o n t o b e s a f e l y r e c e i v e d (pictogrammes displayed on the map) and make sure that you use the major ar terial roads to have “inform ed” navigation.
Only the major ar terial roads (motor ways and some d ual car- r i a g e w a y s ) a r e f e a t u r e d i n R D S - T M C t r a f fi c i n f o r m a t i o n ) .

Why is a diversion not suggested when I h a v e s e l e c t e d t r a f fi c i n f o ?
D o n o t c o n f u s e t h e “ t r a f fi c i n f o ” g u i d a n c e o p t i o n w h i c h c a n s u g -gest a diversion (the “diver t” button appears in the w indow) with t h e m e n u s “ D i s p l a y o f t r a f fi c m e s s a g e s ” o r “ R e a d i n g o f t r a f fi c messages” which af fect only the display without recalculating the itinerar y (no “diver t” button in the window).
To have “informed” navigation with the detour proposi-tion, it is essential to activate the guidance option with “ t r a f fi c i n f o ” .
