In certain cases, you may have to apply
more force to the steering (wheels on
full lock, for example).
Starting the engine
F With a petrol engine, operate the starter motor by turning the key to position 3
without pressing the accelerator pedal,
until the engine starts. Once the engine is
running, release the key. F

W
ith a Diesel engine, turn the key to
position 2 , ignition on, to operate the
engine pre-heating system.

gearbox),

or
F
p

automatic gearbox),
F
i

system recognises the code,
F
u
nlock the steering column by
simultaneously turning the steering and the
key.
Wait until this warning lamp goes off in the
instrument panel then operate the starter
motor by turning the key to position
3
without pressing the accelerator pedal,
until the engine starts. Once the engine is
running, release the key.
If the engine does not start straight
away, switch off the ignition. Wait a
few moments before operating the
starter motor again. If the engine does
not start after several attempts, do not
keep trying: you risk damaging the
starter motor or the engine. Contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. In wintry conditions, the warning lamp
can stay on for a longer period. When
the engine is hot, the warning lamp
does not come on. Never leave the engine running in
an enclosed area without adequate
ventilation: internal combustion
engines emit toxic exhaust gases,
such as carbon monoxide. Danger of
intoxication and death.
In very severe wintry conditions
(temperatures below -23°C), to ensure
the correct operation and durability of
the mechanical components of your
vehicle, engine and gearbox, it is
necessary to leave the engine running
for 4 minutes before moving off. In temperate conditions, do not leave
the engine at idle to warm up but move
off straight away and drive at moderate
speed.

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 per formance. 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.
