Starting the engine
F With a petrol engine, operate the starter m
otor by turning the key to position 3
without

W
ith a Diesel engine, turn the key to
p
osition 2
, ignition on, to operate the
eng
ine
p

s
ystem.
Wait until this warning lamp goes off
i
n the instrument panel then operate
t
he starter motor by turning the key
t
o position 3 without pressing the
a

tarts. Once the engine is running,
r
elease the key.
If the engine does not start straight
a
way, switch off the ignition. Wait a
f
ew moments before operating the
s
tarter motor again. If the engine does
n
ot start after several attempts, do not
k
eep trying: you risk damaging the
s
tarter motor or the engine. Contact
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
w
orkshop.Never
leave the engine running in
a
n enclosed area without adequate
v
entilation:
in
ternal
c
ombustion
e
ngines emit toxic exhaust gases,
s
uch as carbon monoxide. Danger of
i
ntoxication and death.
In very severe wintry conditions
(temperatures below -23°C), to ensure
t
he correct operation and durability of
the mechanical components of your
v
ehicle, engine and gearbox, it is n
ecessary to leave the engine running f
or 4 minutes before moving off.
In
certain cases, you may have to apply
m
ore force to the steering (wheels on
f
ull lock, for example).
In wintry conditions, the warning lamp
c
an stay on for a longer period. When
t
he engine is hot, the warning lamp
d
oes not come on.In temperate conditions, do not leave
t
he engine at idle to warm up but move
o
ff straight away and drive at moderate
s
peed.

F If the warning lamp and the S
TOP warning lamp come on,
s
top the vehicle and switch off
the
engine as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o avoid overheating of the brakes on a long
m
ountain type of descent, the use of engine
b
raking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing
t
he
re
commended
p
ressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling o
n the trailer.
The
rear parking sensors will be
d
eactivated automatically if a genuine
C
ITROËN towbar is used.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant.
As
the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
c
apacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F
T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
s
peed.
The
maximum towed load on a long incline
d
epends on the gradient and the ambient
t
emperature.
In
all cases, keep a check on the
c
oolant
t
emperature.
