Monitoring







Tr i p c o m p u t e r

With the ignition on, each press on the INFO

button displays the following screens in
succession:


- distance recorder and trip recorder A,

- distance recorder and trip recorder B,

- ser vice indicator,

- coolant temperature,

- range,

- average fuel consumption,

- average speed,

- current fuel consumption,

- setting menu,

- any alert messages.



Information display





Distance recorder

System for measuring the total distance
travelled by the vehicle during its life.
The total distance is
displayed in the lower part of
the screen.







Trip distance recorder
(Trip A or B)

Reset to zero

With the ignition on and either trip A
or B

displayed, press the INFO
button for more than
2 seconds. Only the trip displayed will be reset.


Each of these trip recorders
indicates the distance
travelled since the last reset.
Press the INFO
button to
display the desired trip.

46
Monitoring
When the engine is
running, this indicates the
temperature of the coolant.






Range


When the engine is
running
, this indicates
the distance which can
still be travelled with the
fuel remaining in the tank
based on the average
fuel consumption over the
last few miles/kilometres
travelled.
This value may vary following a change
in the style of driving or the relief,
resulting in a large variation in the
current fuel consumption.
If you only add a few litres, the value
displayed will be incorrect. Therefore,
you must fill the tank whenever
possible.










Coolant temperature
gauge
If the bar is close to the critical
position located
on the right, the temperature is too high.
The symbol flashes when your engine is
overheating.


You must stop your vehicle as soon as it is
safe to do so.


Wait a few minutes before switching off the
engine.

When the range is less than 30 miles (50 km)
,
dashes are displayed.
Refuel as soon as possible. The display of the
range is updated.

Wait for the engine to cool before
topping up the level. The cooling system
is pressurised.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the
pressure to drop.
When the pressure has dropped,
remove the cap and top up the level,
if necessary.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.

When you disconnect the battery,
the previous fuel consumption data
is lost and the value displayed will be
different from that displayed before the
battery was disconnected. The distance
displayed must be considered an
approximate indication.

208Practical information

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 per formance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towing load must
be reduced by 10 % of the GTW and so on for
every 1 000 metres of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for details
of the weights and towing loads which apply to
your vehicle.


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.
The maximum towing load on a long slope
depends on the gradient and the outside
temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.


)
If this message is displayed, stop your
vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.




Braking

Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.


Ty r e s



)
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the
recommended pressures.



Lighting



)
Check the lighting and signalling on the
trailer.


If the message flashes slowly, wait for the
engine to cool before topping up the level, if
necessary.
If the message flashes rapidly, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
without delay.

Checks










Coolant level


The coolant level should be between
the two marks. In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying out any
work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew the cap
by two turns to allow the pressure to drop.
When the pressure has dropped, remove the
cap and top up the level.


Fluid specifi cation

The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
The brake fluid level should be close
to the "MA X" mark. If it is not, check
the brake pad wear.










Brake fluid level


Changing the fl uid

Refer to the maintenance and warranty guide
for details of the inter val for this operation.


Fluid specifi cation

The brake fluid must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations and meet
the DOT3 or DOT4 standard.








The cooling fan may star t after switching
off the engine: take care with ar ticles and
clothing that might become caught by the
fan blades.

When the engine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan.
