Practical information

88
REAR PARKING SENSORS
The audible system consists of four
proximity sensors, fitted in the rear bumper.
It detects any obstacle which comes within
range: person, vehicle, tree, fence, behind
the vehicle during the manoeuvre.
However, it will not be able to detect
obstacles located immediately below the
bumper.
An object, such as a stake, a roadworks
cone or any other similar object may be
detected at the beginning of the manoeuvre
but may no longer be detected when the
vehicle moves close to it.
This system does not take the place of
vigilance on the part of the driver.Ending operation
Come out of reverse gear and into neutral.
Operating fault
If this warning lamp or the service
warning lamp comes on in the instrument
panel, accompanied by a message in the
screen, contact a CITRo Ë n dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Good practice
In bad weather or in winter, ensure that the
sensors are not covered with mud, ice or
snow.
Operation
Engage reverse gear with the gear lever.
The proximity information is indicated by an
audible signal which becomes more frequent
as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
When the distance between the rear of
the vehicle and the obstacle is less than
approximately thirty centimetres, the audible
signal becomes continuous.
This function will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed.
You are advised to obtain a towbar
recommended by CITR
o Ë n and have it
installed by a qualified workshop.

TYRE UNDER-INFLATION DETECTION
System which automatically checks the
pressure of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressures on the
four tyres, once the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the
four wheel speed sensors with reference
values, which must be reinitialised every
time the tyre pressures are adjusted or a
wheel changed.
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a drop in the inflation pressure of
one or more tyres.
The under-inflation detection system

does not replace the vigilance or the
responsibility of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as before
a long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres impairs
road holding, extends braking distances and
causes premature tyre wear, particularly
under arduous condition (high loading, high
speed, long journey).
Driving with under-inflated tyres increases
fuel consumption.
The inflation pressures defined for


your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure label.
See the "Identification markings" section.
Tyre pressures should be checked when the
tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 1 hour
or after a journey of less than 6 miles
(10 km) at moderate speeds).
Otherwise (when hot), add 0.3 bar to the
pressures shown on the label.
Under-inflation alert
This is given by fixed
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied the display of a
message,depending on equipment.
F
Reduce speed immediately

, avoid
excessive steering movements and
sudden braking
F
Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to


do so.
The loss of pressure detected does
not always cause visible bulging of the
tyre. Do not satisfy yourself with just a visual
check.
F
In the event of a puncture, use the


temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (depending on equipment),
or
F
if you have a compressor

, such as the
one in the temporary puncture repair kit,
check the pressures of the four tyres
when cold,
or
F
if it is not possible to make this check


immediately, drive carefully at reduced
speed.
The alert is maintained until the system
is reinitialised.
Driving safely

138
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.
ChecksSee the "Levels" section of
chapter 7.
Tyres: check the tyre pressures on the
towing vehicle and the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Brakes: towing increases the braking
distance.
d rive at a moderate speed,
change down early and brake gradually. Side wind: sensitivity to side wind is
increased.
d rive smoothly and at a
moderate speed.
ABS: the system only controls the vehicle,
not the trailer.
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 -
Identification markings" section. Rear parking sensors: the sensors will be
deactivated automatically when an genuine
CITR
o Ë n towbar is used.
Towbar
We recommend the use of genuine
CITR
o Ë n 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 CITR
o Ë n

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.
Refer to the "Technology on board -
Parking sensors" section.
For information on the maximum
weights and towed loads applicable to
your vehicle, refer to the "Technical data -
Weights" section.

CHECKS
Bleeding water from the Diesel
filter
If this warning lamp comes
on, you must bleed the filter;
otherwise bleed the filter
regularly, every time the engine
oil is changed.
To remove the water, unscrew the bleed
screw or the water in
d iesel sensor, located
at the base of the filter.
o perate until all of
the water has flowed out. Then tighten the
bleed screw or the water sensor.
Battery
at the start of winter, have your battery
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
A blocked passenger compartment filter
may reduce the performance of the
air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours. The replacement
intervals for these components are indicated
in the maintenance and warranty guide.
Depending on the environment (dusty
atmosphere...) and the use of the vehicle
(urban driving...), change them twice as
often if necessary.
Brake pads
Brake pad wear depends on the type of
driving, in particular for vehicles which are
used in town, over short distances. It may
be necessary to check the brake pad wear,
even between services.
Unless there is a leak on the system, a drop
in the brake fluid level indicates that the
brake pads are worn.
Brake disc / drum wear
For all information on checking the brake
disc / drum wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Parking brake
Where the parking brake travel is too great
or there is a reduction in the performance
of the system, the parking brake should be
adjusted, even between services.
Have the system checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Oil filter
Change the filter regularly, in accordance
with the manufacturer's servicing schedule.
The presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates the
use of a specific 12 V lead-acid battery
with special technology and specification.
The involvement of a CITR
o
Ë
n
dealer
or a qualified workshop is essential when
replacing or disconnecting the battery.
Refer to the "Checks - Under the
bonnet" section.
HDi engines use advanced
technology. All work requires
specialist knowledge, which all CITROËN
dealers have.

batteries contain harmful substances
such as sulphuric acid and lead. They
must be disposed of in accordance with the
law and must not, in any circumstances be
discarded with household waste.
Take used batteries to an authorised waste
disposal site.
It is advisable to disconnect the battery
if the vehicle is not to be used for a
period of more than one month. To do
this on models with Stop & Start:
-

press the release button

The presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a 12 V lead-acid battery with
special technology and specification;
the involvement of a CITR
o
Ë
n
dealer or
a qualified workshop is essential when
replacing or disconnecting the battery.
Failure to observe this recommendation may
cause premature wear of the battery.
After refitting the battery by a
CITR
o
Ë
n
dealer or a qualified
workshop, the Stop & Start system will
only be active after a continuous period of
immobilisation of the vehicle, a period which
depends on the climatic conditions and the
state of charge of the battery (up to about
8 hours). Before charging
The charging operation must be carried
out in a ventilated area away from naked
flames or any possible sources of sparks to
eliminate the risks of explosion and fire.
Do not attempt to charge a frozen battery: it
must first be thawed to eliminate the risks of
explosion. If the battery has frozen, before
charging it have it checked by a specialist
who will check that the internal components
have not been damaged and that the
container is not cracked, which could mean
that there is a risk of a leak of toxic and
corrosive acid.
