EMISSIONS CONTROLS
The driver is warned of any malfunction
of this emission control system by the
illumination of this specific warning lamp in
the instrument panel.
There is a risk of damage to the catalytic
converter. Have it checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop. EOBD (European On Board
Diagnosis) is a diagnostics system
which complies with, among
others, the standards concerning
authorised emissions of:
- CO (carbon monoxide),
- HC (unburnt hydrocarbons),
- NOx (nitrous oxides) or particles,
detected by oxygen sensors placed
upstream and downstream of the
catalytic converters.
DETECTION
Sensors continuously monitor the tyre
pressures and trigger a warning in the event
of under-inflation, a puncture or a fault with
a sensor.
Any anomaly is indicated by visual and
audible information and is accompanied by a
message in the screen.
Deflated tyre
The Service warning lamp comes on.
Following a warning, the under-inflation of
the tyre will not necessarily be visible.
Check the tyre pressure as soon as
possible.
Puncture
The STOP warning lamp comes on.
Stop as soon as it is safe to do so, avoiding
any sudden movement of the steering wheel
and the brakes.
Make a temporary repair to the tyre using
the puncture repair kit or by fitting the spare
wheel.
Change the damaged wheel, and have the
tyre pressures checked as soon as possible.
Sensor(s) fault or not detected
The Service warning lamp comes on.
When changing a wheel or in the event of a
sensor fault, the tyre pressure is no longer
monitored. Contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop to replace the faulty
sensor(s). Refer to the "Changing a wheel"
section of chapter 7.
If the damaged wheel is replaced by one
without a sensor (for example, the spare
wheel), the message is maintained to
indicate that the pressure of the wheel
cannot be monitored, so providing a
reminder that the damaged wheel with
sensor must be repaired.

Gearboxes and steering wheel

Manual mode
Manual sequential gear changing.
- Select gear lever position M
,
- push the gear lever towards the + sign
to change up, from 1 through to 6,
- conversely, push the gear lever towards
the - sign to change down.
In manual mode, it is only possible to
change from one gear to another if the
vehicle speed and engine speed permit.
If they do not, the vehicle will operate
temporarily in automatic mode.
When the vehicle is stationary or moving
very slowly, the gearbox automatically
selects first gear. You can change from position D
(automatic mode) to position M
(manual
mode) at any time.
Good practice
Never select position N
when the vehicle is
moving.
Never select positions P
or R
unless the
vehicle is stationary.
Never change between positions to optimise
braking on a slippery surface.
There is a risk of damage to the gearbox:
- if you press the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time,
- if you force the gear lever from
position P
to another position in the
event of a battery failure.
When the engine is at idle, brakes not
applied, if position R
, D
or M
is selected the
vehicle moves even without the accelerator
being pressed.
For this reason, do not leave children
unsupervised inside the vehicle, with the
engine running
.
Operating fault
Any operating fault is indicated by an
audible signal, accompanied by the
message "Automatic gear fault"
in the
screen.
In this situation the gearbox operates in
downgrade mode (locked in 3rd gear). You
may feel a substantial knock when changing
from P
to R
and from N
to R
(this will not
cause any damage to the gearbox).
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), keeping
within the limit of local speed restrictions.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
ESP

Driving safely
ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR)AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAMME (ESP)
These systems are linked and complement
the ABS.
The ASR system is very useful for
maintaining optimum drive and avoiding
losses of control of the vehicle on
acceleration.
The system optimises drive to prevent the
wheels skidding, by acting on the brakes of
the drive wheels and on the engine. It also
allows the directional stability of the vehicle
to be improved on acceleration. acts on the engine and the brake of one
or more wheels, in order to put the vehicle
back on course.
Deactivating the ASR/ESP systems
In certain exceptional conditions (starting
the vehicle when stuck in mud or snow, or
on loose ground...), it could prove useful
to deactivate the ASR and ESP systems to
make the wheels spin and regain grip.
- Press the button, located on the centre
console.
- The indicator lamp comes on: the ASR
and ESP systems no longer operate.
Operating check
Good practice
The ASR/ESP systems offer increased
safety during normal driving, but should not
encourage the driver to take risks or to drive
at high speed.
The operation of these systems is assured
only if the recommendations of the
manufacturer regarding the wheels (tyres
and rims), the braking components, the
electronic components and fitting and repair
procedures are observed.
After an impact, have these systems
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Operation of the ASR and ESPsystems
The LED flashes when the
ASR or ESP is triggered.
They engage again:
- automatically above 30 mph (50 km/h),
- manually by pressing the button again.
When a malfunction of the
systems occurs, the warning lamp
comes on, accompanied by an
audible signal and a message in
the screen.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
The warning lamp may also come on if the
tyres are under-inflated. Check the pressure
of each tyre.
Use the ESP to hold your course without
attempting to countersteer.
If there is a variation between the trajectory
followed by the vehicle and that required
by the driver, the ESP system automatically

You should therefore use a high gear to
lower the engine speed and reduce your
speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
Ty r e s
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle (see the "Identification markings"
section of chapter 8) and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pressures. Towbar
We recommend the use of genuine
CITROËN towbars and their harnesses,
which have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle, and that
you entrust the fitting of this equipment to a
CITROËN dealer.
If this equipment is not fitted by a CITROËN
dealer, it is imperative that it is fitted using
the electrical pre-equipment installed at the
rear of the vehicle and in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.
In accordance with the general instructions
a reminder of which has been given above,
we draw your attention to the risk associated
with fitting a towbar or electrical accessory
not recommended by CITROËN. Fitting such
equipment could result in the failure of your
vehicle's electronic system. Please obtain
information from the Manufacturer before
fitting this type of equipment. If the coolant temperature warning
lamp comes on, stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine as soon
as possible.
Good Practice
In certain cases of particularly arduous
use (towing the maximum load up a steep
slope in high temperatures), the engine
automatically limits its power. In this
case, the air conditioning is automatically
cut off to save engine power.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 6.
Brakes
Towing increases the braking distance. Drive
at a moderate speed, change down early
and brake gradually.
Side wind
Sensitivity to side wind is increased. Drive
smoothly and at a moderate speed.
ABS/ESP
The ABS or ESP systems only control the
vehicle, not the trailer or caravan.
Rear parking sensors
The parking sensors system does not
function while the vehicle is towing.
