A few driving recommendations
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!
ne
ver 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.
ob

serve 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. -

c
heck that the depth of water does not
exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves
that might be generated by other users,
-
d
eactivate the Stop & Start system,
-
d
rive as slowly as possible without stalling.
In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph
(10 km/h),
- d o not stop and do not switch off the
engine.
on l

eaving 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 CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. If you are obliged to drive through water:

Starting the engine
F apply the parking brake.
F W ith a manual gearbox: place the lever in
neutral and fully depress the clutch pedal.
F

W
ith an electronic gearbox: place the lever
at position N and press the brake pedal
f i r m l y.
F

W
ith an automatic gearbox: place the lever
at position P and press the brake pedal
f i r m l y.
F

I
nsert the key in the ignition switch; the
system recognises the code.
F

U
nlock the steering column by
simultaneously turning the steering and
t h e


key.
In some circumstances, you may have
to apply some force to turn the steering
wheel (wheels on lock for example).
F

W
ith a petrol engine, operate the starter
motor by turning the key to position 3 until
the engine starts, without pressing the
accelerator pedal.
o
n
ce the engine starts,
release the key. F
W ith a di esel engine, turn the key to
position 2 , ignition on, to operate the
engine preheating system.
Wait until this warning lamp goes off
in the instrument panel, then operate
the starter motor by turning the key to
position 3 until the engine starts, without
pressing the accelerator pedal.
o
n
ce
the engine starts, release the key.
If the engine does not start straight
away, switch the ignition off. Wait a
few moments before trying again. If
the engine does not start after a few
attempts, do not keep trying: you risk
damaging the starter motor and the
engine. Call on a CITR
oËn

dealer or a
qualified workshop.
ne

ver 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
winter conditions (temperatures
below -23°C), it is necessary to allow
the engine to run for 4 minutes before
setting off, in order to ensure the
correct operation and durability of
the mechanical components of your
vehicle, the engine and gearbox.
In wintry conditions, the warning lamp
will stay on longer. When the engine is
hot, it does not come on. In temperate conditions, do not
warm the engine up with the vehicle
stationary, but move off straight away
and drive at moderate engine speeds.

Driving

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.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a genuine
CITROËN towbar is used.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
as t
he 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.
