48
If one of the doors or the boot is still
open, the central locking does not
take place; the vehicle locks then
immediately unlocks, identifiable by the
sound of the locks rebounding.
When the vehicle is locked, if it is
unlocked inadvertently, it will lock
again automatically after thirty seconds
unless a door or the boot is open.
Locking using the remote control
F Press the closed padlock to lock the vehicle.
Locking the vehicle
Locking is confirmed by the fixed illumination
of the direction indicators for approximately
two seconds.
Locking using the key

Anti-theft protection
Electronic engine immobiliser
The key contains an electronic chip which has
a special code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised in order for
starting to be possible.
This electronic engine immobiliser locks the
engine management system a few minutes
after the ignition is switched off and prevents
starting of the engine by anyone who does not
have the key.
In the event of a fault, you are
informed by illumination of this
warning lamp, an audible signal
and a message in the screen.
F

P

ress the closed padlock on the
remote control.
This will bring on the courtesy lamps and
flashing of the direction indicators for a few
seconds.
Keep safely, away from your vehicle, the label
attached to the keys given to you on acquisition
of the vehicle. In this case, your vehicle will not start; contact
a CITROËN dealer as soon as possible.
Check that the doors and boot are fully
closed.

Driving advice
Distribution of loads
F 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 performance. Above
1
000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10
% for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
Side wind
F 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.
F

T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
F

I
f the warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a long
mountain type of descent, the use of engine
braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer.
Refer to the "Technical data" section for details
of the weights and towed loads which apply to
your vehicle.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a genuine
CITROËN towbar is used.
When not towing a trailer, remove the
quickly-detachable tow ball before
driving.
Practical information

227
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
Brake pads
For information on checking brake
disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Brake disc wearOnly use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality and specification.
In order to optimise the operation of
units as important as those in the
braking system, CITROËN selects and
offers very specific products.
After washing the vehicle, dampness,
or in wintry conditions, ice can form
on the brake discs and pads: braking
efficiency may be reduced. Make light
brake applications to dry and defrost
the brakes.Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the maintenance and
warranty guide for the details of
the level checking interval for this
component.
Electronic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Refer to the maintenance and
warranty guide for details of the level
checking interval for this component.
Parking brake
If excessive travel or a loss of
effectiveness of this system is
noticed, the parking brake must be
checked, even between two services.
Checking this system must be done by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. To avoid damaging the electrical units,
the use of a high pressure washer
in the engine compartment is strictly
prohibited.
have the condition of the brakes checked, even
between vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a drop in
the brake fluid level indicates that the brake
pads are worn.
