ProgrammingOperating faults

If there is an operating fault, when
reverse gear is engaged this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, accompanied by an audible signal (short beep)and a message in the multifunction screen. You can activate or deactivate the s
ystem bymeans of the multifunction screen configuration menu. The system state is memorised when
switching off the ignition.
For more information on access to the parkingsensors menu, refer to "Configuration/Vehic leparameters" in the "Multifunction screens"section corresponding to your screen.

The system will be deactivated automatically when towing a trailer or when a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehiclefitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier recommended by CITROËN).

Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its coolingcapacity is not dependent on the engine speed. )To lower the engine speed, reduce 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.
Braking
To w i ng a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a longmountain type of descent, the use of engine braking is recommended.

Tyres
)
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the
recommended pressures.

Lighting
)
Check the electrical lighting and signallingon the trailer.
)
If the warning lamp and the
STOPwarning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
