Service overdue
Every time the ignition is switched on, an overdue service is immediately signaled by flashing of the spanner and the fixed illumination of the Service warning lamp.
The distance remaining may be weighted by the time factor, depending on the driving conditions. Therefore, the spanner may also come on if you have exceeded the period since the last service, indicated in the maintenance and warranty guide .
Following this operation, if you wish to disconnect the battery, lock the vehicle and wait at least five minutes for the zero reset to be taken into account.
5 seconds after the ignition is switched on, the distance recorder resumes its normal operation. The spanner remains on .
Service indicator zero reset
After each service, the service indicator must be reset to zero. The procedure for resetting to zero is as follows:  switch off the ignition,  press and hold the trip distance recorder
zero reset button,  switch on the ignition; the distance recorder display begins a countdown,  when the display indicates "=0" , release the button; the spanner disappears.
Retrieving the service information
You can access the service information at any time.  Press the trip distance recorder zero reset button. The service information is displayed for a few seconds, then disappears.

General points relating to child seats
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 fitted with a seat belt or ISOFIX mountings * , - statistically, the safest seats in your vehicle for carr ying children are the rear seats, - a child weighing less than 9 kg must travel in the "rear ward facing" position both in the front and in the rear.
CITROËN recommends that children should travel in the outer outer outerrear seats of your vehicle: - "rearward facing" up to the age of 3, - "forward facing" over the age of 3.
Although one of CITROËN main criteria when designing your vehicle, the safety of your children also depends on you.
* The rules for carrying children are specific to each country. Refer to the legislation in force in your country.

Towing a trailer
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a trailer or installation of a bicycle carrier, with additional lighting and signalling.
When not towing a trailer, remove the quickly-detachable tow ball before driving, so as to avoid masking the central rear lamp.
Maximum trailer weight
The towing weight is limited: refer to the "Technical data" section.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for transporting people and luggage, but it may also be used for towing a trailer.
At the front
 On the front bumper, unclip the cover by pressing at the bottom to disengage the securing lugs.  Screw the towing eye in fully.
At the rear
 On the rear bumper, unclip the cover by levering at the left with the point of the towing eye.  Screw the towing eye in fully.

245Practical information
We recommend the use of genuine CITROËN towbars and their harnesses that have been tested and approved from the design stage of your vehicle, and that the fitting of the towbar is
entrusted to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. If the towbar is not fitted by a CITROËN dealer, it is imperative that it is fitted 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 exceeding 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, reduce your speed.
 If the warning lamp and the STOP warning lamp come on, stop the vehicle and switch off the engine as soon as possible.
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, observing the recommended pressures.
Lighting
 Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be deactivated automatically if a genuine CITROËN towbar is used.
Driving with a trailer places greater demands on the towing vehicle and the driver must take particular care.
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.
Refer to the "Technical data" section for details of the weights and towed loads which apply to your vehicle.
