Driving
This section describes the use of the parking brake, the manual,electronic or automatic gearbox, the gear efficiency indicator and Stop & Start to help reduce fuel consumption, hill start assist, the speed limiter
to avoid exceeding a programmed speed, cruise control to maintain aprogrammed speed, the rear parking sensors to detect obstacles.
RACING towbar
Your vehicle cannot be fitted with a towbar. The space occupied by thesport diffuser prevents this.
Tyres
)
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, obser ving the
recommended pressures.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its coolingcapacity is not dependent on the engine speed. )To 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.
Braking
To w i ng a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a longmountain type of descent, the use of engine
braking is recommended.
Lighting
)
Check the electrical lighting and signallingon the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will bedeactivated automatically if a genuineCITROËN towbar is used. )
If the warning lamp and the
STOPwarning lamp come on,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
