A few driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations at all times and remain vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
P ay   close   attention   to   the   traffic   and   keep   your   hands   on   the   wheel   so   that   you   are   ready   to   react   at  
a

ny   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  
o

ther
 v
ehicles.
driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on flooded roads,   as   this   could   cause   serious   damage  
t

o   the   engine   or   gearbox,   as   well   as   to   the  
e

lectrical   systems   of   your   vehicle.
Important!
Never drive with the parking brake applied   -   Risk   of   overheating   and  
d

amage   to   the   braking   system!
Do
  not   park   or   run   the   engine   when  
s

tationary   in   areas   where   inflammable  
s

ubstances   and   materials   (dry   grass,  
d

ead   leaves...)   might   come   into   contact  
w

ith   the   hot   exhaust   system   -   Risk   of  
f

ire!
Never leave a vehicle unsupervised
with
  the   engine   running.   If   you   have  
t

o   leave   your   vehicle   with   the   engine  
r

unning,   apply   the   parking   brake  
a

nd   put   the   gearbox   into   neutral   or  
p

osition

n or P,
  depending   on   the   type  
o

f   gearbox.

Starting the engine
In some circumstances, you may have to   apply   some   force   to   turn   the   steering  
w

heel   (wheels   on   lock   for   example).In
  wintry   conditions,   the   warning   lamp  
w

ill   stay   on   longer.   When   the   engine   is  
h

ot,   it   does   not   come   on.In   temperate   conditions,   do   not  
w

arm   the   engine   up   with   the   vehicle  
s

tationary,   but   move   off   straight   away  
a

nd   drive   at   moderate   engine   speeds.
If   the   engine   does   not   start   straight  a
way,   switch   the   ignition   off.   Wait   a  
f

ew   moments   before   trying   again.   If  
t

he   engine   does   not   start   after   a   few  
a

ttempts,   do   not   keep   trying:   you   risk

s

uch   as   carbon   monoxide.   Danger   of  
i

ntoxication   and   death.   In   very   severe  
w

inter   conditions   (temperatures  b
elow -23°C),   it   is   necessary   to   allow  t
he   engine   to   run   for   4   minutes   before  
s

etting   off,   in   order   to   ensure   the

Towing with the RACIng version
Your vehicle cannot be fitted with a
towbar.
  The   space   occupied   by   the  
s

port   diffuser   prevents   this.
Side wind
F Take  into   account   the   increased   sensitivity  t
o   side   wind.
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   coolant  
t

emperature. F
 
I
f   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  v
ehicle   and   of   the   trailer,   observing   the  
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.

Precautions for use
Never place objects on the roof, whether open or closed.
In the event of prolonged storage of the vehicle outside, it is recommended that the roof be protected with a cover.
To avoid damaging the roof, do not open it under snowy or frosty conditions. Never use sharp tools to remove ice or accumulations of snow on the roof. Never use scrapers or aerosol products to remove ice that may have formed on the rear screen. Avoid operating the heated rear screen when the roof is completely open (risk of overheating).
To limit the creation of folds in the roof fabric, it is recommended that the roof not be left open for long periods. Operation of the vehicle's air conditioning system is not recommended while the roof is open.
Never place objects on the transverse roof support when the roof is open.
It is recommended that the roof be closed when the vehicle is left parked. Even if the roof is closed, it is prudent not to leave any valuable objects inside the vehicle. When you leave the vehicle, remove the ignition key to avoid any unwanted operation of the roof.
If your vehicle has a voice command system, this may not work as well when driving with the roof open.
Protection of the roof opening and closing electric motors: during repeated opening and closing of the roof, the electric motors may become too hot and then no longer allow the roof to be opened or closed. Allow the motors to cool down by not operating the roof for ten minutes.
Reinitialisation
Do not release the control during the reinitialisation procedure.
Operating
fault
In the event of an electrical fault, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
If the automatic roof operation mode is lost, the system must be reinitialised.  With the engine running , press and hold the control for closing the roof.  After about 5 seconds, the roof closes
completely to position 0 . The roof is then reinitialised.
