In cold weather, wait for this warning
lamp
to
go off then operate the starter
(Starting position) until the engine
starts.

If this comes on, a door or the bonnet
is
not closed correctly, check!
Minimise engine and gearbox wear

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.
Important!

For more information about weights and towed loads, refer to
chapter 9, "Weights" section.
TOWING A TRAILER , A CARA VAN ...
Distribution of loads
d
istribute the load in the trailer so
that
the heaviest objects are as
close as possible to the axle and
the nose weight is close to the
maximum
authorised without, however,
exceeding
it.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the
coolant temperature.a s the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the
engine speed.
You should therefore use a high gear
to lower the engine speed and reduce
your
speed.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant
temperature.
Driving advice
A towed vehicle must free wheel: gearbox
in neutral.

Good practice
Only use products recommended by CITRo Ë n or products of equivalent
quality
and specification.
In
order to optimise the operation
of
units as important as the braking
system,
CITROËN selects and offers
specific
products.
Bleeding water from the Diesel
filter Manual gearbox
Have the level checked in accordance with the
manufacturer's servicing schedule.
In order to avoid damaging the electrical units, high pressure
washing to clean the engine
compartment
is strictly prohibited.
After
washing the vehicle dampness,
or
in
winter, ice may form on the brake
discs
and pads: braking efficiency may
be
reduced. Make some light brake
applications to dry and de-ice the
brakes.
If
this
warning
lamp
comes
on,
bleed
the
filter.
Otherwise
bleed
regularly
each
time
the
engine
oil
is
changed.
H
d
i engines use advanced
technology.
All
work
requires
special training, so should be
entrusted
to
a
CITROËN
dealer.
Depending
on
country
of
sale.
To drain the water, unscrew the bleed
screw
located
on
the
filter.
o
perate until all of the water no longer
flows
in
the
transparent
pipe,
then
tighten
the
bleed
screw.

Without lifting (4 wheels on
the road)
You should always use a towing arm.
BEING TOWED
This procedure involves the use of
the towing eye supplied with the tools
for
changing a wheel.
From the front
- Unclip the cover by pressing the
bottom part.
-
Fully
screw in the removable towing
eye.
From the rear
- Unclip the cover using a coin or the
flat part of the towing eye,
-
Fully
screw in the removable towing
eye. When towing with the engine
switched
off, there is no braking or
steering
assistance.
Lifting (only 2 wheels on the
road)
It is preferable to raise the vehicle
using
professional lifting equipment.Vehicles fitted with a manual
gearbox (Diesel version)
In
the case of vehicles fitted with
a
manual gearbox, the gear lever
must
be in neutral, failure to observe
this
special condition may result in
damage
to transmission and braking
components
and the absence of
braking
assistance when the engine is
started
again.
