When towing
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the heaviest   items   are   as   close   as   possible   to t

he   axle   and   the   nose   weight   approaches   the
 m

aximum   permitted   without   exceeding   it.
Air density decreases with altitude,
thus
 r

educing
 e
ngine
 p
erformance.
 A

bove 1 000 metres,   the   maximum   towed  
l

oad   must   be   reduced   by   10 %   for   every  
1 0

00 metres   of   altitude.
Side wind
F Take  into   account   the   increased   sensitivity  t
o   side   wind.
For
  more   information   on   weights   (and   the  
t

owed   loads   which   apply   to   your   vehicle)   refer  
t

o   the   corresponding   section.
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,   the   use   of  
e

ngine   braking   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   and   the   hadlamp   beam   height  
o

f   your   vehicle.
For
  more   information   on   adjusting   the  
h

eadlamp   beam   height,   refer   to   the  
c

orresponding
 s
ection.
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   coolant  
t

emperature.

Parking sensors
The system is switched on by engaging reverse ge a r.
This
  is   confirmed   by   an   audible   signal.
The
  system   is   switched   off   when   you   come   out  
o

f   reverse   gear.
Rear parking sensors
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an intermittent   audible   signal,   the   frequency   of   which i

ncreases   as   the   vehicle   approaches   the   obstacle.
The
  sound   emitted   by   the   speaker   (right   or   left)
 i

ndicates   the   side   on   which   the   obstacle   is   located.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the
  obstacle   becomes   less   than   approximately
 t

hirty   centimetres,   the   audible   signal   becomes
 c

ontinuous.Visual assistance
This supplements the audible signal by d isplaying   bars   in   the   screen   which   move  
p

rogressively   nearer   to   the   vehicle.
When
  the   obstacle   is   very   close,   the   "Danger"  
s

ymbol   is   displayed   in   the   screen.
This system c annot  i n  a ny  c ircumstances  r eplace t
he   need   for   vigilance   on   the   part   of   the   driver.
This system indicates the proximity of an obstacle   (person,   vehicle,   tree,   gate,   etc.)  
w

hich   comes   within   the   field   of   detection   of  
s

ensors   located   in   the   bumper.
Certain
  types   of   obstacle   (stake,   roadworks  
c

one,   etc.)   detected   initially   will   no   longer   be  
d

etected   at   the   end   of   the   manoeuvre,   if   they  
a

re   located   in   blind   spots   in   the   sensors'   field  
o

f   detection.

207
C4-2_en_Chap06_conduite_ed02-2015
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the front parking   sensors   are   triggered   when   an   obstacle i

s detected in front and the speed of the vehicle is
still
  below   6   mph   (10   km/h).
The
  front   parking   sensors   are   interrupted   if   the
 v

ehicle   stops   for   more   than   three   seconds   in
 f

or ward   gear,   if   no   further   obstacles   are   detected
 o

r   when   the   speed   of   the   vehicle   exceeds   6   mph
 (

10   km/h).
Front parking sensors
The function is deactivated by pressing this button.   The   indicator   lamp   in   the   button  
comes
  on.
Pressing
  this   button   again   reactivates   the  
f

unction.   The   indicator   lamp   in   the   button  
goes
  off.
Operating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the   system,   when   reverse   gear  
i

s   engaged   this   warning   lamp   is  
d

isplayed   in   the   instrument   panel  
a

nd/or   a   message   appears   in   the  
s

creen,   accompanied   by   an   audible  
s

ignal   (short   beep).
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified
 w

orkshop.
The
 
sound
 
emitted
 
by
 
the
 
speaker
 
(front
 
or
 
r

ear)
 
indicates
 
whether
 
the
 
obstacle
 
is
 
in
 
front
 
o

r
 
behind. The function will be deactivated
automatically
 
if
 
a
 
trailer
 
is
 
being
 
towed
 
o

r
 
a
 
bicycle
 
carrier
 
is
 
fitted
 
(vehicle
 
f

itted with a towbar or bicycle carrier
recommended
 
by
 
CITROËN). In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered with
mud,
  ice   or   snow.   When   reverse   gear   is  
e

ngaged,   an   audible   signal   (long   beep)  
i

ndicates   that   the   sensors   may   be   dirty.
Certain
  sound   sources   (motorcycle,  
l

orry,
  pneumatic   drill,   etc.)   may   trigger  
t

he
 
audible   signals   of   the   parking  
s

ensor   system.
