2013.5 Citroen DS4 RHD brake light

Electric parking brake

This system does not require any
routine ser vicing. However, in the
event of a problem, have the system
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.















Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
units as important as those in the
braking system, CITROËN selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness,
or in wintry conditions, ice can form
on the brake discs and pads: braking
efficiency may be reduced. Make light
brake applications to dry and defrost
the brakes.



Brake disc wear

For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.






















Manual parking brake

If a loss of effectiveness of this
system is noticed, the parking brake
must be checked, even between two
services.
Checking this system must be done by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
















Brake pads

Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle ser vices.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.

For more information, refer to the "Electric
parking brake - Operating faults" section.

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 exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine per formance. 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, reduce 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.



If the warning lamp and the STOP

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

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



Braking

Towing 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.


Ty r e s




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.

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

The GTW and towed load values indicated are valid 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 60 mph (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the per formance of the vehicle to protect the engine; if the ambient temperature is above 37 °C,
limit the towed load.
*
The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit, if the GV W of the towing vehicle is reduced by an equal amount. Warning:
towing using a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its road holding.
