MONITORING






Service indicator

This information is displayed for a
few seconds when the ignition is
switched on. It 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.


More than 2 000 miles (3 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
When the ignition is switched on, no
service information appears on the
instrument panel central screen.


Between 600 miles (1 000 km)
and 2 000 miles (3 000 km) remain
before the next service is due
For 7 seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the spanner symbolising the service
operations comes on. The instrument pan-
el central screen indicates the distance re-
maining before the next service is due.

Example:
1 900 miles remain before the
next service is due.
For 7 seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the central screen indicates:


Less than 600 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service is due

Example:
500 miles remain before
the next service is due.
For 7 seconds after the ignition is
switched on, the central screen in-
dicates:
Service overdue
For 7 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
180 miles.
For 7 seconds after the ignition is switched
on, the central screen indicates:

The spanner remains on
in the
screen to indicate that a service
must be carried out soon.
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.

The spanner remains on
in the
screen to indicate that a service
should have been carried out.

ACCESS

Cancelling the memorisation

With the tailgate in the intermediate
position, you can cancel the stored
position:


)
Make a long press on push-
button D
. The system emits a
long audible beep.

)
Release the push-button D
. The
tailgate will return to the fully
open position at the next use.



Electrical protection of the
motor
If the tailgate is repeatedly opened
and closed in quick succession, the
motor can start to overheat and then
cut out, preventing opening and
closing of the tailgate.
Allow the motor to cool down for ten
minutes without opening or closing
the tailgate.
Closing in manual back-up mode re-
mains possible.
To avoid risk of injury, make sure
that no one is in the vicinity of the
boot while opening and closing.
If the tailgate is carrying extra
weight (snow, bicycle carrier, etc.)
there is a risk of it closing under
this load. Support the tailgate or
fi rst unload the bicycle carrier or
clear the snow.
When using an automatic car wash, don’t forget to lock the vehicle so
as to avoid any risk of motorised
opening of the tailgate.

CHILD SAFETY
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
children should travel in the rear
seats
of your vehicle:


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

- "forwards-facing"
over the
age of 2.

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

*
The rules for carrying children are
specifi c to each country. Refer
to the current legislation in your
country.

GENERAL POINTS RELATINGTO CHILD SEATS


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.

POSITIONS FOR CHILD SEATS SECURED USING THE SEAT BELT
In conformity with European law, this table shows you the possibilities for the installation of universally approved child
seats (a) using a seat belt, depending on the weight of the child and the seating position in the vehicle.
(a) Universal child seat: child seat which can be installed in all vehicles using the seat belt.
(b) Consult the current legislation for your country before driving with your child in this seat.
(c) Group 0: from birth to 10 kg. Shells and "car cots" cannot be installed on the front passenger seat.

U:

POSITIONS FOR FITTING ISOFIX CHILD SEATS
In conformity with European law (ECE 16), this table shows you the possibilities for the installation of ISOFIX child seats
to seats in the vehicle fi tted 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.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
TOWING A TRAILER

Towbar suitable for the attachment
of a trailer or installation of a bicycle
carrier, 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.

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.

Side wind


)
Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind.


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.


)
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.

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.


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


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 tting of the
towbar is entrusted to a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.

Driving with a trailer places great-
er demands on the towing vehicle
and the driver must take particular
care.

Refer to the "Technical Data" section
for details of the weights and towed
loads which apply to your vehicle.

TECHNICAL DATA

* The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit, on condition that the GVW of the towing vehicle
is reduced by the same amount; warning, towing with a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its
road holding.

The GTW and towed load values indicated apply up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned
must be reduced by 10 % for each additional 1 000 metres of altitude.
The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 100 km/h (approx. 60 mph) (comply with the legislation in force in your
country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the performance of the vehicle in order to protect the engine; when
the ambient temperature is higher than 37 °C, limit the weight towed.
