DRIVING

Reactivation

In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered
with mud, ice or snow. When re-
verse gear is engaged, an audible
signal (long beep) indicates that the
sensors may be dirty.
When the speed of the vehicle is
below about 6 mph (10 km/h), some
sources of noise (motorcycle, lorry,
pneumatic drill, ...) may trigger the
audible parking sensor signals.

lamp switches off, the system is
reactivated.









"HYDRACTIVE III +"
ELECTRONIC SUSPENSION
The suspension automatically and
instantly adjusts to different driving
styles and to the profi le of the road,
providing the best compromise be-
tween occupant comfort and vehicle
road holding.
The system alternates between soft
and fi rm suspension settings, maxi-
mising comfort at the same time as
constantly ensuring the highest level
of safety. It also automatically cor-
rects ride height, according to the
vehicle load and driving conditions.
In addition, the "Hydractive III +" sys-
tem allows you to choose between
two modes of suspension.
A change of suspension mode can
be made either when the vehicle is
moving or when stationary, by press-
ing button A
.


Display in the instrument
panel
The suspension mode selected is
displayed in the instrument panel
screen.

Normal mode
This mode favours soft
damping for maximum com-
fort.
If the speed authorised for a
particular position is exceeded,
the vehicle reverts automatically to the
normal road position.


SPORT mode
This mode favours dynamic
driving.

The warning lamp on button A

comes on in addition to the
message in the instrument
panel screen.

SPORT
mode is retained when you
switch off the engine.

ground that is not slippery. apply
the parking brake.

)
If your vehicle is equipped with
"Hydractive III+" suspension, with
the engine running at idle, adjust
the ground clearance to its maxi-
mum height.

)
Switch off the ignition and en-
gage fi rst gear or reverse gear
depending on any slope (for a
vehicle with automatic gearbox,
select position P
).

)
If your vehicle is fi tted with
"Hydractive III+" suspension, po-
sition the chock, whichever direc-
tion the gradient may be in, in front
of the front wheel diametrically op-
posite to the one to be replaced.
)
Position the jack at one of the four
jacking-points provided on the un-
derbody close to the wheels, then
use the wheelbrace to unwind the
jack until it reaches the ground.

)
Remove the protector from each
bolt using tool 3
.

)
Slacken the wheel bolts.

Before positioning the
jack:



)
Always adjust the vehicle’s
ground clearance to the "maxi-
mum height" position and re-
tain this adjustment for as long
as the jack is under the vehicle
(do not use the hydraulic ad-
justments),

)
Immobilise your vehicle on hor-
izontal, stable and non-slippery
ground,

)
Ensure that any passengers
have left the vehicle and are in
a safe place .


Never get underneath the vehicle if
it is supported only by the jack.
The jack and all of the tools are
specifi c to your vehicle. Do not use
them for any other applications.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION








ROOF BARS


The design of your vehicle requires
the use of roof bars that are tested
and approved by CITROËN, for your
safety and to avoid damage to the
roof and tailgate.
Regardless of the type of loading
equipment to be transported on the
roof (bicycle carrier, ski carrier…), it
is imperative that you add transverse
roof bars. Any securing or lashing to
components other than the roof bars
is strictly prohibited.


Recommendations



)
Distribute your load evenly, avoid-
ing overloading on one side.

)
Arrange the heaviest part of the
load as close as possible to the
roof.

)
Anchor the load securely and
draw attention to it if any part of
it is overhanging.

)
Drive gently, as the vehicle will
be more liable to the effects of
side winds (vehicle stability may
be altered).

)
Remove the roof bars as soon
as they are no longer needed.

Maximum load that can be
distributed on the roof bars
(for a loading height not
exceeding 40 cm; except bicycle
carrier): 80 kg.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt
your speed to the profi le of the road
to avoid damaging the roof bars
and the fi xings on the roof.
Please refer to national legislation
in order to comply with the regula-
tions concerning the transportation
of objects which are longer than
the vehicle.


Blanking cover

When towing, you must remove the
blanking cover in the front bumper
as well as the bonnet seal if fi tted .
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop for this.
