The needle is positioned before the
red zone:
  normal   operation.
In arduous conditions of use or hot
climatic
  conditions,   the   needle   may  
move

  close   to   the   red   graduations.What you should do if the needle
enters the red zone:
Reduce your speed or let the engine
run
  at   idle.
What you should do if the warning
lamp comes on:
-  
stop
  immediately,   switch   off   the  
ignition.

 
The
  fan   may   continue   to  
operate

  for   a   certain   time,   up   to  
approximately

  10   minutes,
-
wait for the engine to cool down in
order

  to   check   the   coolant   level   and  
top

  it   up   if   necessary.

HILL START ASSIST
This system (also called HHC - Hill Holder
  Control),   linked   to   the   dynamic  
stability

  control   system,   makes   hill  
starts easier and is activated in the
following

  conditions:
-
 
the
  vehicle   must   be   stationary,  
engine

  running,   foot   on   the   brake,
-
 
the
  gradient   of   the   road   must   be  
steeper than 5%,
-

 
uphill,
  the   gearbox   must   be   in  
neutral or in a gear other than
reverse,
-

 
downhill,
  reverse   gear   must   be  
engaged.
The

  Hill   Start  
Assist
  system   is   a   driving  
aid.

  It   is   not   an   automatic   vehicle  
parking

  function   or   an   automatic  
parking

  brake.
Operation
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal pressed,   from   the   time   you   release  
the

  brake   pedal,   without   using   the  
parking

  brake,   you   have   approximately  
2 seconds

  to   move   off   before   the  
vehicle

  starts   to   roll   back.
During
  the   moving   off   phase,   the  
function

  is   deactivated   automatically,  
gradually

  releasing   the   braking  
pressure.

  During   this   phase,   the  
characteristic

  noise   of   mechanical  
release

  of   the   brakes   may   be   heard,  
indicating

  the   imminent   movement   of  
the

  vehicle.
Operating fault
Hill start assist is deactivated in the
following   situations:
-

when the clutch pedal is released,
-

 
when
  the   parking   brake   is   applied,
-

when the engine is switched of
f,
-
 
when
  the   engine   stalls.
If
  a   malfunction   of   the  
system

  occurs,   this  
warning

  lamp   comes   on  
accompanied

  by   an   audible  
signal

  and   confirmed   by  
a

  message   in   the   screen.   Have   the  
system

  checked   by   at   a   CITROËN  
dealer

  or   a   qualified   workshop.

A FEW DRIVING
RECOMMENDA
TIONS
observe the driving regulations at all
times   and   remain   vigilant   whatever   the  
traffic

  conditions.
Pay
  close   attention   to   the   traffic   and  
keep

  your   hands   on   the   wheel   so   that  
you

  are   ready   to   react   at   any   time   to  
any

  eventuality.
On
  a   long   journey,   a   break   every   two  
hours

  is   strongly   recommended.
In
  difficult   weather,   drive   smoothly,  
anticipate

  the   need   to   brake   and  
increase

  the   distance   from   other  
vehicles.
Driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving
on  flooded   roads,   as   this   could   cause  
serious

  damage   to   the   engine   or  
gearbox, as well as to the electrical
systems

  of   your   vehicle. If you are obliged to drive through
water:
-
 
check
  that   the   depth   of   water   does  
not

  exceed   15   cm,   taking   account  
of

  waves   that   might   be   generated  
by other users,
-
 
deactivate
  the   Stop   &   Start   system,
-
drive as slowly as possible without
stallin

g.   In   all   cases,   do   not   exceed  6
  mph   (10   km/h),
- do not stop and do not switch of f
the
  engine.
On
  leaving   the   flooded   road,   as   soon  
as

  circumstances   allow,   make   several  
light

  brake   applications   to   dry   the   brake  
discs

  and   pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle,
contact a CITR
o Ë n dealer or a
qualified
  workshop.Never
  drive   with   the   parking   brake  
applied

  -   Risk   of   overheating   and  
damage

  to   the   braking   system!
Do   not   park   or   run   the   engine   when  
stationary

  in   areas   where   inflammable  
substances

  and   materials   (dry   grass,  
dead

  leaves...)   might   come   into   contact  
with

  the   hot   exhaust   system   -   Risk   of  
fire!
n

ever leave a vehicle
unsupervised with the engine
running.   If   you   have   to   leave  
your vehicle with the engine running,
apply

  the   parking   brake   and   put   the  gearbox into neutral or position
N or P,
depending
  on   the   type   of   gearbox.

ANTI-SLIP REGULATION (ASR)
AND

DYNAMIC STABILITY

CONTROL (DSC)
These systems are linked and complement  the  ABS.
The
 
ASR
  system   is   very   useful   for  
maintaining

  optimum   drive   and  
avoiding losses of control of the vehicle
on

  acceleration.
The
  system   optimises   drive   to   prevent  
the

  wheels   skidding,   by   acting   on   the  
brakes

  of   the   drive   wheels   and   on   the  
engine.

  It   also   allows   the   directional  
stability

  of   the   vehicle   to   be   improved  
on

  acceleration.
Use the
d SC to hold your course
without
  attempting   to   countersteer.
If there is a variation between the
trajectory
  followed   by   the   vehicle   and  
that required by the driver

, the d SC
system
  automatically   acts   on   the  
engine

  and   the   brake   of   one   or   more  
wheels,

  in   order   to   put   the   vehicle   back  
on

  course.
Deactivation
In certain exceptional conditions
(starting   the   vehicle   when   stuck   in   mud  
or

  snow,   or   on   loose   ground...),   it   could  
prove useful to deactivate the a

SR and
DSC
  systems   to   make   the   wheels   spin  
and

  regain   grip.
Operating fault
Good practice
The ASR/DSC   systems   offer   increased  safety
  during   normal   driving,   but  
should

  not   incite   the   driver   to   take   risks  
or

  to   drive   at   high   speed.
The
  operation   of   these   systems   is  
ensured

  if   the   recommendations  
of

  the   manufacturer   regarding  
the

  wheels   (tyres   and   rims),   the  
braking

  components,   the   electronic  
components

  and   the   fitting   and   repair  
procedures

  are   observed.
After
  an   impact,   have   these   systems  
checked

  by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
qualified

  workshop.
Operation
The warning lamp flashes when operation of the a SR or
DSC
  is   triggered.
They engage again:
-
 
automatically
  above   30   mph  
(50
 
km/h), When
  a   malfunction   of   the  systems
  occurs,   the   warning  
lamp

  and   the   LED   come   on,  
accompanied

  by   an   audible  
signal

  and   a   message   in   the  
screen.
-


Press the button or turn
the dial to the

d SC o FF
position (depending on
model).
-
 
The

 
LED   comes   on:   the  
ASR
  and  
DSC

 
systems   no   longer   come   into  
play

. -
 
manually
  by   pressing   the  
button again or by turning
the dial to this position
(depending

  on   model).Contact a CITR
o Ë n dealer or a
qualified
  workshop   to   have   the   system  
checked.
The

  warning   lamp   may   also   come   on   if  
the

  tyres   are   under-inflated.   Check   the  
pressure

  of   each   tyre.
