Driving safely


PARKING BRAKE


Applying

Pull the parking brake lever up to immobilise
your vehicle.
Check that the parking brake is applied
firmly before leaving the vehicle.

If the parking brake is still on or
has not been released properly,
this is indicated by this warning
lamp which comes on on the
instrument panel.
When parking on a slope, direct your wheels
towards the pavement and pull the parking
brake lever up.
There is no advantage in engaging a gear
after parking the vehicle, particularly if the
vehicle is loaded.


Releasing

Pull the lever and press the button to lower
the parking brake lever.

HAZARD WARNING LIGHTS

Press this button, the two direction
indicators flash.
They operate with the ignition off.
When the hazard warning lights are switched
on, the change of direction function, via the
right-hand or left-hand direction indicator, is
deactivated.

SAFETY



Airbags



LATERAL AIRBAGS


Deployment
It is deployed unilaterally in the event of a
serious side impact, perpendicular to the
longitudinal centreline of the vehicle on
a horizontal plane and directed from the
outside towards the inside of the vehicle.
The lateral airbag inflates between the
front occupant of the vehicle and the
corresponding door trim panel.

In the event of a minor impact or bump
on the side of the vehicle or if the
vehicle rolls over, the airbag may not be
deployed.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop without delay to have
the system checked. The airbags
may no longer be deployed in the
event of a serious impact.

ACCESSORIES



Towing a trailer


TOWING A TRAILER, CARAVAN, ETC...


Driving advice

As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.
On the contrary, use a high gear to lower
the engine speed and reduce your speed. In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature. A towed vehicle must free wheel: gearbox in
neutral.

Cooling:
towing a trailer on a slope
increases the coolant temperature.

132



Towing a trailer


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,
automatic cutting off of the air conditioning
allows the engine power to be saved.
If the coolant temperature
warning lamp comes on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
See the "Levels" section of chapter 7.

Tyres:
check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle (see the "Identification
markings" section of chapter 7) and of
the trailer, observing the recommended
pressures.

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:
the system only controls the vehicle,
not the trailer.

Rear parking sensors:
the sensors
will be deactivated automatically
when an genuine CITROËN towbar is used
(see the "Rear parking sensors" section of
chapter 3).

Towbar

We recommend the use of original
CITROËN towbars and their harnesses,
which have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle, and that
the fitting of this equipment is entrusted to
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
If this equipment is not fitted by a CITROËN
dealer, it is essential that it is fitted using
the electrical pre-equipment located at
the rear of the vehicle and following the
manufacturer's instructions.
The operation of the rear parking sensors is
deactivated automatically when the trailer
cable connector is inserted in the towbar
socket.
When the trailer cable is removed, the rear
parking sensors are re-activated.
Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer so that the
heaviest objects are as close as possible
to the axle and the nose weight is close to
the maximum authorised without, however,
exceeding it. The air density decreases with
altitude, so reducing the performance of
the engine. The maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10 % for each 1 000 metres
of altitude. Refer to the "Technical data"
chapter for details of the weights and
towed loads applicable to your vehicle
and also to the administrative documents
(V5 registration document, ...).

Equipment

ROOF RACK AND ROOF BARS

To install the transverse roof bars or a
roof rack, use the fixings provided for this
purpose.
Maximum load: 75 kg.

OTHER ACCESSORIES

A wide range of accessories and original
parts is offered by the CITROËN network.
These accessories and parts have been
tested and approved both for reliability and
for safety.
They all benefit from CITROËN's
recommendation and warranty.
Never exceed the gross vehicle weight
(GVW).

Range of professional equipment

The replacement parts department publishes
an accessories catalogue offering various
equipment and fittings, such as:


- wooden protective floor, non-slip wooden
floors, wooden side protectors, glass
protection grilles,

- roof rack, set of transverse roof bars,
loading roller,

- towbars, towbar harnesses with
7/13 sockets, 7/7 sockets, 13 socket...
The fitting of electrical equipment or
accessories not listed by CITROËN
may result in the failure of your vehicle's
electronic system or high consumption.
Please note this specific warning. You
are advised to contact a representative
of CITROËN to be shown the range of
recommended equipment and accessories.
Depending on the country in which the
vehicle is sold or operated, it may be
compulsory to have a high visibility vest,
warning triangle, replacement bulbs and
fuses available in the vehicle.
Before installing accessory radio
communication transmitters with
external aerial on your vehicle, you can
contact a CITROËN dealer, who will provide
the specification (frequency band, maximum
output power, aerial position, specific
installation conditions) of the transmitters
which can be fitted, in accordance with the
Motor Vehicle Electromagnetic Compatibility
Directive (2004/104/EC). When fitting a towbar and harness
outside the CITROËN dealer
network, the installation must be done
using the electrical pre-equipment on the
vehicle and following the manufacture's
recommendations.
