ternal
 c
ombustion
 e

ngines   emit   toxic   exhaust   gases,  
s

uch   as   carbon   monoxide.   Danger   of  
i

ntoxication   and   death.
In   very   severe   wintry   conditions  
(

temperatures   below   -23°C),   to   ensure  
t

he   correct   operation   and   durability   of  
t

he   mechanical   components   of   your  
v

ehicle,   engine   and   gearbox,   it   is  n
ecessary   to   leave   the   engine   running  f
or   4   minutes   before   moving   off.
In
  certain   cases,   you   may   have   to   apply  
m

ore   force   to   the   steering   (wheels   on  
f

ull   lock,   for   example).
In   wintry   conditions,   the   warning   lamp  
c

an   stay   on   for   a   longer   period.   When  
t

he   engine   is   hot,   the   warning   lamp  
d

oes   not   come   on.In   temperate   conditions,   do   not   leave  
t

he   engine   at   idle   to   warm   up   but   move

F If  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   vehicle   and   of   the   trailer,   observing  
t

he
 re
commended
 p
ressures.
Lighting
F Check  the   electrical   lighting   and   signalling  o
n   the   trailer.
The
  rear   parking   sensors   will   be  
d

eactivated   automatically   if   a   genuine  
C

ITROËN   towbar   is   used.
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   
c
oolant  
t

emperature.
