141Driving
This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.) which comes within the field of detection of sensorslocated in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (stake, roadworkscone, etc.) detected initially will no longer bedetected at the end of the manoeuvre due to
the presence of blind spots.






Parking sensors


This function cannot, in any circumstances, take the place of the vigilance and responsibility of the driver.
Rear parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reversegear. This is accompanied by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you exit reverse gear.
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by anintermittent audible signal, the frequency of which increases as the vehicle approaches
the obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left) indicates the side on which the obstacle islocated. When the distance between the vehicle andthe obstacle becomes less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomescontinuous.



Visual assistance

This supplements the audible signal bydisplaying bars in the multifunction screen
w
hich move progressively nearer to the vehicle.When the obstacle is near, the "Danger" symbol is also displayed in the screen.

In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the sensors are not covered with mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is
engaged, an audible signal (long beep)indicates that the sensors may be dirty.
When the vehicle is moving at a speed below 6 mph (10 km/h), cer tain sound sources (motorcycle, lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger the audiblesignals of the parking sensor system.
In th
e event of a malfunctionof the system, when reverse gear is engaged this warning
lamp is displayed in the instrument paneland/or a message appears in the screen,
accompanied by an audible signal (short beep).
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Operating fault
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the front parking sensors are triggered when an obstacle
is detected in front and the speed of the vehicle
is still below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in for ward
gear, if no fur ther obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
Front par king sensors
The function will be deactivated automatically if a trailer is being towed or a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier recommended by CITROËN).



Deactivation/Activation of the front and rear parking sensors

The function is deactivated by pressing thisbutton. The indicator lamp in the button comes on.
Pressing this button again reactivates
the function. The indicator lamp in the button
goes off.



The sound emitted by the speaker (front
or rear) indicates whether the obstacle is in front or behind.

Practical information
We recommend the use of genuine
CITROËN towbars and their harnesses that have been tested and approvedfrom the design stage of your vehicle,and that the fitting of the towbar is
entrusted to a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by a CITROËN dealer, it is imperative that it isfitted in accordance with the vehiclemanufacturer'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 wei
ght approaches the
maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude,
thus reducing engine performance.
Above 1 000 metres, the maximum towed
load must be reduced by 10 % for every1 000 metres of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for details
of the weights and towed loads which apply toyour vehicle.
Side wind
)
Take into account the increased sensitivityto side wind.

Cooling
To w i ng a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electricall
y controlled, its cooling capacity is not dependent on the engine speed. )
To lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
)If the warning lamp and the
STOP
warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the en
gine as soon as possible.

Braking

To w i ng a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a long
mountain 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 signalling on the trailer.

The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a genuineCITROËN towbar is used.


Driving with a trailer places greater demands on the towing vehicle and the driver must take par ticular care. The maximum towed load on a lon
g incline
depends on the gradient and the ambienttemperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
