Automatic headlamp dipping

This system automatically changes between
dipped and main beam, depending on the
lighting and traffic conditions, using a camera
located in the interior rear view mirror.


Front and rear parking sensors

This systems warns you of the presence of
obstacles located in front of or behind the
vehicle during parking manoeuvres.



Temporary puncture repair kit

This kit is a complete system consisting of a
compressor and a sealant cartridge, to allow
the temporary repair of a tyre.

Exterior

Reversing camera

This system, available only with satellite
navigation, is activated automatically on
engaging reverse gear and provides an image
in the colour screen.


Exterior expressive stickers

This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.)
which comes within the field of detection of
sensors located in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (stake, roadworks
cone, etc.) detected initially will no longer be
detected at the end of the manoeuvre due to
the presence of blind spots.






Parking sensors


This function cannot, in any
circumstances, take the place of the
vigilance and responsibility of the driver.



Rear parking sensors

The system is switched on by engaging reverse
gear. This is accompanied by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you exit
reverse gear.

Audible assistance

The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of
which increases as the vehicle approaches the
obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or
left) indicates the side on which the obstacle is
located.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.




Visual assistance

This supplements the audible signal by
displaying bars in the multifunction screen
which move progressively nearer to the vehicle.
When the obstacle is near, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed in the screen.

139Driving

In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered with
mud, ice or snow. When reverse gear is
engaged, an audible signal (long beep)
indicates that the sensors may be dirty.
Certain sound sources (motorcycle,
lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger
the audible signals of the parking
sensor system.
In the event of a malfunction
of the system, when reverse
gear is engaged this warning
lamp is displayed in the instrument panel
and/or a message appears in the screen,
accompanied by an audible signal (short beep).
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.

Operating fault

In addition to the rear parking sensors, the
front parking sensors are triggered when an
obstacle is detected in front and the speed of
the vehicle is still below 6 mph (10 km/h).
The front parking sensors are interrupted if
the vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in for ward gear, if no further obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).






Front parking sensors



The function will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed
or a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle
fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier
recommended by CITROËN).



Deactivation / Activation of the
front and rear parking sensors
The function is deactivated by pressing this button.
The indicator lamp in the button comes on.
Pressing this button again reactivates the function.
The indicator lamp in the button goes off.

The sound emitted by the speaker (front
or rear) indicates whether the obstacle
is in front or behind.

229Practical 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 towed load must
be reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.


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 towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.



If 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



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



Lighting




Check the electrical lighting and signalling
on the trailer.


The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a genuine
CITROËN towbar is used.

Refer to the "Technical data" section for details
of the weights and towed loads which apply to
your vehicle.
