Parking assistance
The audible and/or visual rear parking
assistance consists of four proximity
sensors, installed in the rear bumper. The
sensors detect any obstacle which enters
the field: person, vehicle, tree, fence, behind
the vehicle during the manoeuvre.
Certain objects detected at the beginning of
the manoeuvre will no longer be detected
at the end of the manoeuvre due to the
blind spots between and below the sensors.
Examples: stake, roadworks cone or
pavement post.
Engage reverse gear
An audible signal confirms the activation of
the system by engaging reverse gear.
The proximity information is indicated by an
audible signal which becomes more rapid as
the vehicle approaches the obstacle. When
the distance between the rear of the vehicle
and the obstacle is less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal
becomes continuous.
Activation/Deactivation
REAR PARKING ASSISTANCE
Display on the screen You can activate or deactivate the
system by pressing this button.
The activation or deactivation of
the system is stored when the
vehicle stops.
Operating fault
In the event of an operating fault, when
reverse gear is engaged the diode on
the button comes on, accompanied by
an audible signal and a message on the
display. Consult a CITROËN dealer.
Good practice
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the
sensors are not covered with mud, ice or
snow.
The system will be deactivated automatically
if a trailer is being towed or if a bicycle
carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with a
towbar or bicycle carrier recommended by
CITROËN).
The parking assistance cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of the
vigilance and responsibility of the driver.
Stop the assistance
Change to neutral.

Towing a trailer
ACCESSORIES
5
For more information about weights,
refer to the administrative documents
(V5 registration document, ...) or to the
"Weights" section of chapter 8.
TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC...
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.
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.
Driving advice
A towed vehicle must free wheel: gearbox in
neutral.
Page 111 of 235

104
Towing a trailer
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 features"
section of chapter 8) and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pressure. 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
you entrust the fitting of this equipment 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.
In accordance with the general instructions
a reminder of which has been given above,
we draw your attention to the risk linked with
fitting a towbar or electrical accessory not
recommended by CITROËN. Fitting such
equipment could result in the failure of your
vehicle's electronic system. Please contact
a CITROËN dealer for information before
fitting this type of equipment.
If the coolant temperature warning
light comes on, stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine as soon
as possible.
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.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 6.
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/ESP
The ABS or ESP systems only control the
vehicle, not the trailer or caravan.
Rear parking assistance
The assistance does not function while the
vehicle is towing.
