Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when braking.
Use
  only   the   chains   designed   to   be   fitted   to   the  
t

ype   of   wheel   fitted   to   your   vehicle:

Procedure for starting the engine using another battery or charging a discharged battery.
T he presence of this label, in particular
with
  the   Stop   &   Start   system,   indicates  
t

he   use   of   a   12   V   lead-acid   battery   with  
s

pecial

 t

he   involvement   of   a   CITROËN   dealer  
o

hen   replacing   or   disconnecting  
t

After
  refitting   the   battery,   the   Stop   &
 S

tart   system   will   only   be   active   after   a
 c

ontinuous   period   of   immobilisation   of   the
 v

ehicle,   a   period   which   depends   on   the
 c

limatic   conditions   and   the   state   of   charge
 o

f   the   battery   (up   to   about   8   hours).
Before doing any work
Immobilise the vehicle: apply the parking   brake,   put   the   gearbox   in  
n

eutral,   then   switch   off   the   ignition.
Check
  that   all   electrical   equipment   is  
s

Driving advice
Distribution of loads
F Distribute  the   load   in   the   trailer   so   that  t
he heaviest   items   are   as   close   as  
p

ossible   to   the   axle   and   the   nose   weight  
a

pproaches   the   maximum   permitted  
w

ithout   exceeding   it.
Air
  density   decreases   with   altitude,   thus  
r

educing   engine   per formance.   Above  
1 0

00 metres,   the   maximum   towed   load   must  
b

e   reduced   by   10 %   for   every   1 000   metres   of  
al

titude.
Side wind
F Take   into   account   the   increased   sensitivity  t
o   side   wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature   of   the   coolant.
As
  the   fan   is   electrically   controlled,   its   cooling  
c

apacity   is   not   dependent   on   the   engine   speed.
F
 
T
o   lower   the   engine   speed,   reduce   your  
s

peed.
The
  maximum   towed   load   on   a   long   incline  
d

epends   on   the   gradient   and   the   ambient  
t

emperature.
In
  all   cases,   keep   a   check   on   the   coolant  
t

emperature. F
 
I
f   the   warning   lamp   and   the  
S

TOP
 
warning   lamp   come   on,  
s

top   the   vehicle   and   switch   off  
t

he   engine   as   soon   as   possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o   avoid   overheating   of   the   brakes   on   a   long  
m

ountain   type   of   descent,   the   use   of   engine  
b

raking   is   recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check   the   tyre   pressures   of   the   towing  v
ehicle   and   of   the   trailer,   observing   the  
re

commended
 p
ressures.
Lighting
F Check  the   electrical   lighting   and   signalling  o
n   the   trailer.
