You can activate or deactivate the system by
means of the multifunction screen configuration
menu. The system state is memorised when
switching off the ignition.
For more information on access to the parking
sensors menu, refer to " Vehicle configuration"
or " Vehicle parameters" section for your
multifunction screen.
Operating faults
If there is an operating fault, when
reverse gear is engaged this
warning lamp comes on in the
instrument panel, accompanied by
an audible signal (short beep) and a
message in the multifunction screen.
Programming
The system will be deactivated
automatically when towing a trailer or
when a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle
fitted with a towbar or bicycle carrier
recommended by CITR

Towing a trailer
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 performance.
a
b
ove
1
000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10
% for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it may
also be used for towing a trailer.
Refer to the "Technical data" section for details
of the weights and towed loads which apply to
your vehicle.
We recommend the use of genuine
CITROËN towbars and their harnesses
that have been tested and approved
from the design stage of your vehicle,
and that the fitting of the towbar is
entrusted to a CITR
oËn
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by a
CITR
oËn
dealer, it must still be
fitted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's instructions.
Driving advice
Driving with a trailer places greater demands
on the towing vehicle and the driver must take
particular care.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.

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

temperature of the coolant.
