2009 Citroen NEMO DAG engine

Towing a trailer
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 light comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 7.

Tyres: check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (see the "Identification
features" section of chapter 7) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressure.

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 assistance: the
assistance will be deactivated
automatically when an original CITROËN
towbar is used (see the "Rear parking
assistance" section of chapter 4). 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
the fitting of this equipment is entrusted to a
CITROËN dealer .
If this equipment is not fitted by a CITROËN
dealer , it is essential that it is fitted using
the electrical pre-equipment located at the
rear of the vehicle in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
The operation of the sensors is deactivated
automatically when the pin of the trailer
cable is inserted in the towbar socket.
When the trailer cable pin is removed, the
sensors are re-activated.

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. The air density decreases with
altitude, so reducing the performance of
the engine. The maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10 % for each 1 000 metres
of altitude. Refer to the "Technical data"
chapter for details of the weights and
towed loads applicable to your vehicle
and also to the administrative documents
(V5 registration document, ...).

Battery
BATTERY

A. Positive metal point on your vehicle

B. Slave battery

C. Earth on your vehicle.
CHARGING THE BATTERY USING A CHARGER
- disconnect the battery,
- follow the instructions for use given by
the battery charger manufacturer,
- reconnect starting with the negative (-) terminal,
- check that the terminals and connectors are clean. If they are covered with
sulphate (white or greenish deposit),
disconnect them and clean them. The charging operation must be carried
out in a ventilated area away from naked
fl ames or any possible sources of sparks to
eliminate the risk of explosion and fi re.
Do not attempt to charge a frozen battery: it
must first be thawed to eliminate the risks of
explosion. If the battery has frozen, before
charging it have it checked by a specialist
who will check that the internal components
have not been damaged and that the
container is not cracked, which could mean
that there is a risk of a leak of toxic and
corrosive acid.
STARTING FROM ANOTHER BATTERY
- connect the red cable to the metal point A then to the positive (+) terminal of
the slave battery B ,
- connect one end of the green or black cable to the negative (-) terminal of the
slave battery B ,
- connect the other end of the green or black cable to the earth point C on your
vehicle,
- operate the starter, let the engine run,
- wait for the engine to return to idle, then disconnect the cables.

Battery The batteries contain harmful
substances such as sulphuric acid and
lead. They must be discarded in accordance
with the provisions of the law and must not,
in any circumstances, be discarded with
household waste.
Take used batteries to a special
collection point.
Before disconnecting the battery, you must
wait for 2 minutes after switching off the
ignition.
Never disconnect a terminal when the
engine is running.
Never charge a battery without first
disconnecting the terminals.
Close the windows and doors before
disconnecting the battery.
After every reconnection of the battery,
switch on the ignition and wait 1 minute
before starting to allow the electronic
systems to be initialised. If slight difficulties
are experienced after this, please consult a
CITROËN dealer . It is advisable to disconnect the battery
if the vehicle is not to be used for a
period of more than one month.
If the battery has been disconnected
for some time, it may be necessary to
reinitialise the following functions:
- the display parameters (date, time, language, distance unit and temperature
unit),
- the radio stations,
- the central locking.
Some settings are cleared and must be
reprogrammed, consult a CITROËN dealer .

TROUBLESHOOTING
Having your vehicle towed
BEING TOWED
Without lifting (four wheels on the ground)
You must always use a towbar.
The removable towing eye is located in the
tool kit behind the driver's seat (Light van) or
behind the rear bench seat (Combi).
From the front
Unclip the cover on the right using a flat tool.
Screw the removable towing eye in fully.
Then hook the towbar on the towing eye.
From the rear
Unclip the cover at the bottom using a flat
tool.
Screw the removable towing eye in fully.
Then hook the towbar on the towing eye.
With lifting (2 wheels only on the ground)
It is preferable to lift the vehicle using
professional lifting equipment. When being towed with the engine
off, there is no braking or steering
assistance.
On the towed vehicle, the gear lever must be
put in neutral; failure to observe this special
condition may result in damage to certain
braking components and the absence of
braking assistance when the engine is
started.

Fuel
FILLING WITH FUEL
Low fuel level
When the minimum fuel tank
level is reached, this warning
light comes on. At this moment,
you have approximately 6 litres
remaining. Fill up without delay to avoid
running out of fuel.
The fuel tank must be filled with the
engine off .
- Open the fuel filler flap.
- Support the cap with one hand.
- With the other hand, insert the key, then turn it a third of a turn.
- Remove the cap. When the fuel filler flap is open, a
safety system prevents sliding of the
side door.
A label affixed to the inside of the flap
reminds you of the type of fuel to be used.
When filling the fuel tank, do not continue
after the 3rd cut-off of the nozzle. This could
cause malfunctions.
The capacity of the fuel tank is
approximately 45 litres.
After filling the fuel tank, lock the cap and
close the flap.
FUEL CIRCUIT DEACTIVATED
In the event of a serious collision, a device
automatically cuts off the fuel supply to the
engine and the vehicle's electrical supply.
It also triggers the automatic unlocking of
the doors and switching on of the courtesy
lights. A message appears on the instrument
panel display according to version.
Turn the key to the STOP position to prevent
discharging of the battery.
Check that there is no smell or leak of fuel
outside the vehicle.
Re-activation
To set off again, restore the fuel supply and
the electrical supply manually:
- with the key in the STOP position, turn
the key to the RUNNING position,
- push the direction indicators control up fully,
- place it in the "Off" position,
- press the direction indicators control down fully,
- return it to the "Off" position,
- push it up fully again,
- return it to the "Off" position,
- press it down fully again,
- return it to the "Off" position,
- turn the key to the STOP position.
