f fluid. Keep the kit to hand.
)Drive immediately for approximately three miles (five kilometres), at reduced speed (between 15 and 35 mph (20 and 60 km/h)),
to plug the puncture.)Stop to check the repair and the tyre pressure using the kit.
Do not star t the compressor beforeconnecting the white pipe to the tyrevalve: the sealant product would beexpelled through the pipe.
Tyre under-infl ation detection
If the vehicle is fitted with tyre under-inflation detection, the under-inflationwarning lamp will remain on after the wheel has been repaired until the system is reinitialised by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Fitting a steel or "space-saver" spare wheel

If your vehicle is fitted with alloy wheels, when tightening the bolts onfitting it is normal to notice that thewashers do not come into contact with the steel or "space-saver" spare wheel.The wheel is secured by the conical contact of each bolt.


List of operations
)Put the wheel in place on the hub. )Screw in the bolts by hand to the stop.
)Pre-tighten the security bolt using the
wheelbrace 1fitted with the security socket 4.)Pre-tighten the other bolts using the
wheelbrace 1only.
After changing a wheel
To store the punctured wheel in the boot correctly, first remove the centralcover. When using the "space-saver" typespare wheel, do not exceed 50 mph(80 km/h).

Installing electricalaccessories

Your vehicle's electrical system isdesigned to operate with standard or optional equipment.
Before installing other electricalequipment or accessories on your vehicle, contact a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.

CITROËN will not accept responsibilityfor the cost incurred in repairing your vehicle or for rectifying malfunctions resulting from the installation of accessories not supplied and notrecommended by CITROËN andnot installed in accordance with its instructions, in par ticular when thecombined consumption of all of the additional equipment connectedexceeds 10 milliamperes.
Be
fore changing a fuse:)the cause of the failure must be identifiedand rectified, )all electrical consumers must be switched off, )the vehicle must be immobilised with theignition off,)identify the failed fuse using the tables andlayout drawings in the following pages.
Changing a fuse
GoodFailed
The replacement of a fuse not shown in the tables below may cause a serious malfunction of your vehicle. Contacta CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Tweezer To replace a fuse, you must: )use the special tweezer to extract the fuse from its housing and check the condition of its filament,
)always replace the failed fuse with a fuse
of the same rating (same colour); using a
different rating could cause faults (risk
of fire).
If the fuse fails again soon after replacement,have the vehicle's electrical system checked bya CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Energy economy mode System which manages the period of use of cer tain functions to conser ve a sufficient level of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can still use functions such as the audio equipment, windscreen
wipers, dipped beam headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc. for a maximum combined period of thirty
minutes.
This period may be greatly reduced if the battery is not fully charged.
A flat battery prevents the engine from
starting (refer to the corresponding paragraph).
If the telephone is being used at the same time on the navigation system, it will be interrupted after 10 minutes.


Switching to economy mode

Once this period has elapsed, a message
appears in the screen indicating that the vehiclehas switched to economy mode and the activefunctions are put on standby.

Exiting economy mode

These functions are reactivated automaticallythe next time the vehicle is driven. )In order to resume the use of these functions immediately, star t the engine and
let it run for a few minutes.
The time available to you will then be double
the period for which the engine is left running. However, this period will always be between
five and thir ty minutes.








Load reduction mode System which manages the use of certainfunctions according to the level of chargeremaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates cer tain functions, such as the air conditioning,
th
e heated rear screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivated automatically as soon as conditions permit.

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

Driving advice
Distribution of loads
)Distribute the load in the trailer so that theheaviest items are as close as possible to
the axle and the nose weight approaches the maximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus reducing engine per formance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced b
y 10 % for every 1 000 metres of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for details
of the weights and towed loads which apply to your vehicle.
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, reduce your speed.
The maximum towed load on a long inclinedepends 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 a v o i d o v e r h e a t i ng of the brakes on a long
mountain type of descent, the use of enginebraking 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.
)If the warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off
t
he engine as soon as possible.
