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.

Towing a trailer, ...


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 mayalso be used for towing a trailer.

When not towing a trailer, remove thequickly-detachable tow ball beforedriving, so as to avoid masking the
central rear lamp.
Maximum trailer weight
You must not tow a trailer weighing more
than 500 k
g.







Vehicle recovery
Before doing any work, with the ignition on, press the brake pedal and put the gear lever inposition N
, then switch off the hybrid system.
Th
e front or rear wheels must not be on the ground, use a flat-bed lorry or trailer to recover
the vehicle.
Use the towing eyes only to pull avehicle out or to pull it onto a flat-bed. If necessary because access to thevehicle is difficult, it can be moved a few dozen metres at a speed not exceeding6 mph (10 km/h).

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.
