MONITORING









Service indicator

System which informs the driver
when the next service is due, in ac-
cordance with the manufacturer's
servicing schedule.
The point at which the service is due
is calculated from the last indicator
zero reset. It is determined by two
parameters:


- the distance travelled,

- the time elapsed since the last
service. 5 seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the spanner
goes
off
; the dis-
tance recorder resumes its normal
operation. The display then indicates
the total and trip distances.

Less than 1 000 km remain
before the next service is due

Example:
900 km remain before the
next service is due.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates:
Service overdue
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner fl ashes

to indicate that the service must be
carried out as soon as possible.

Example:
the service is overdue by
300 km.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates:
5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the distance recorder
resumes its normal operation. The
spanner remains on
to indicate that
a service must be carried out soon. 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the distance recorder
resumes its normal operation. The
spanner remains
on
.
More than 1 000 km remain
before the next service is due
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the spanner symbol-
ising the service operations comes
on. The distance recorder display
line indicates the distance remaining
before the next service is due.

Example:
4 800 km remain before
the next service is due.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the display indicates:
The distance remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, depend-
ing on the driver's driving habits.
Therefore, the spanner may also
come on if you have exceeded the
two year service interval.

CHILD SAFETY

*
The rules for carrying children are
specifi c to each country. Refer to the
current legislation in your country.
GENERAL POINTS RELATINGTO CHILD SEATS

Although one of CITROËN's main
criteria when designing your vehicle,
the safety of your children also de-
pends on you.
For maximum safety, please observe
the following recommendations:


- in accordance with European
regulations, all children under
the age of 12 or less than one
and a half metres tall must
travel in approved child seats
suited to their weight
, on seats
fi tted with a seat belt or ISOFIX
mountings * ,

- statistically, the safest seats in
your vehicle for carrying chil-
dren are the rear seats,


- a child weighing less than 9 kg
must travel in the "rearwards-
facing" position both in the
front and in the rear.



CITROËN recommends
that chil-
dren should travel in the rear seats

of your vehicle:


- "rearwards-facing"
up to the
age of 2,

- "forwards-facing"
over the
age of 2.
CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT


"Rearwards-facing"
When a "rearwards-facing" child seat
is installed on the front passenger
seat
, it is essential that the passenger
airbag is deactivated. Otherwise, the
child would risk being seriously in-
jured or killed if the airbag were to
infl ate
.

Intermediate longitudinal
position

"Forwards-facing"
When a "forwards-facing" child seat
is installed on the front passenger
seat
, adjust the vehicle's seat to the
intermediate longitudinal position
with the seat back upright and leave
the passenger airbag activated.

Applies only to the CITROËN Grand C4 Picasso.
LOCATIONS FOR CHILD SEATS SECURED WITH THE VEHICLE SEAT BELT

In conformity with European law, this table tells you to what extent each of the seat positions in your vehicle may take a
child seat that is secured with the vehicle seat belt and approved as Universal (a), according to the weight of the child and
the position in the vehicle.
(a) Universal child seat: child seat which can be installed in all vehicles by means of the seat belt.
(b) Group 0: from birth to 10 kg. Shell seats and "car cots" cannot be installed on the front passenger seat.
(c) Consult the legislation in force in your country before installing your child on this seat.

U
: seat position suitable for the installation (in conjunction with the vehicle seat belt) of a universal rearwards-facing and/or
forwards-facing child seat.

For seats in groups 1, 2 and 3, check that the child seat is correctly secured on the backrest of the vehicle seat. If
necessary, remove and stow the head restraint.
To install a voluminous child seat in the 2nd or 3rd row, move the rear seat fully back so as to avoid interference with the
front seat.

** To install ISOFIX child seats type B1
, remove the head restraints from the seats.
LOCATIONS FOR INSTALLING ISOFIX CHILD SEATS

In compliance with European legislation (ECE 16), this table indicates which of the ISOFIX child seats can be installed in
seat positions in your vehicle that are equipped with ISOFIX mounting points.
For ISOFIX universal and semi-universal child seats, the ISOFIX size class, defi ned by a letter from A
to G
, is shown on
the child seat to the right of the ISOFIX logo.

DRIVING
PNEUMATIC SUSPENSION

Grand
C4 Picasso

C4 Picasso

The pneumatic rear suspension en-
hances driving comfort by maintain-
ing a constant body height whatever
the vehicle load.

Operation



- If there is an increase in vehicle
load, a sinking of the rear of
the vehicle is detected and the
pneumatic springs infl ate in or-
der to compensate for the extra
weight.

- If there is a decrease in load, a
rising of the rear of the vehicle is
detected and so the pneumatic
springs defl ate to return the ve-
hicle to its nominal height.

- If the vehicle has been unused
for a long period, the pneumatic
springs may infl ate if necessary
when you unlock or open a door,
so as to return the vehicle to its
nominal height.
If you do not reactivate the system
manually, automatic height correc-
tion will be activated as soon as the
vehicle starts to move. During height
correction, the service warning lamp
comes on and a message on the
screen reminds you not to exceed
6 mph (10 km/h).
The automatic correction does not
function if the doors or the boot are
open.
The automatic correction operates
even if your vehicle is in power
economy mode.
Activation/Deactivation
The automatic height correction can
be deactivated:


)
press button B
located on the
left hand boot interior trim for ap-
proximately two seconds,

)
release the button when you
hear a beep. Deactivation is con-
fi rmed by the lighting of the indi-
cator lamp in button B
.

In the event of a system fault,
alert messages, always in asso-
ciation with the service warning
lamp, will appear in the instru-
ment panel . Contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

You must deactivate the system in
the following circumstances:


- when working under the vehicle,

- when changing a wheel,

- when transporting the vehicle on
a lorry or ferry.
To reactivate automatic height cor-
rection:


)
press button B
again for approxi-
mately two seconds,

)
release the button when you hear
a beep. Activation is confi rmed
by the extinction of the indicator
lamp in button B
.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

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 stay at the wheel of the towed vehicle.
Driving on motorways and fast roads is prohibited when towing.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, always use an approved towing bar; rope and straps are
prohibited.
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,

- 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 bar available...

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

Towbar suitable for the attachment
of a trailer with additional lighting
and signalling.
Your vehicle is primarily designed
for transporting people and luggage,
but it may also be used for towing a
trailer.
We recommend the use of genuine
CITROËN towbars and their har-
nesses that have been tested and
approved from the design stage
of your vehicle, and that the fi t-
ting of the towbar is entrusted to
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
If the towbar is not fi tted by a
CITROËN dealer, it is imperative
that it is fi tted in accordance with the
vehicle manufacturer's instructions.

Driving advice


Distribution of loads


)
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 ex-
ceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude,
thus reducing engine performance.
Above 1 000 metres, the maximum
towed load must be reduced by 10 %
for every 1 000 metres of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section
for details of the weights and towed
loads which apply to your vehicle.

Side wind


)
Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind.


)
To lower the engine speed, re-
duce your speed.
The maximum towed load on a long
incline depends on the gradient and
the ambient temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the
coolant temperature.


)
If the warning lamp and
the STOP
warning lamp
come on, stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.


Braking
Towing a trailer increases the brak-
ing distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes
on a long mountain type of descent,
the use of engine braking is recom-
mended.

Tyres


)
Check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended
pressures.


Lighting


)
Check the electrical lighting and
signalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a gen-
uine CITROËN towbar is used.
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
the driver must take particular care.

Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled,
its cooling capacity is not dependent
on the engine speed.
