Driving recommendations
Observe the driving regulations and remain vigilant   whatever   the   traffic   conditions.
Pay
  close   attention   to   the   traffic   and   keep   your  
h

ands 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  
s

trongly
 re
commended.
In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate
the
  need   to   brake   and   increase   the   distance  
f

rom   other   vehicles.
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.If
  you   are   obliged   to   drive   through   water:
-  
c
heck   that   the   depth   of   water   does   not  
e

xceed   15   cm,   taking   account   of   waves  
t

hat   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
  leaving   the   flooded   road,   as   soon   as  
c

ircumstances   allow,   make   several   light   brake  
a

pplications   to   dry   the   brake   discs   and   pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle, contact
a
  CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop.
Important!
Never drive with the parking brake applied   -   Risk   of   overheating   and  
d

amage   to   the   braking   system!
Risk
  of   fire!
As
  the   exhaust   system   of   your   vehicle  
i

s very hot, even several minutes after
switching
  off   the   engine,   do   not   park  
o

r   run   the   engine   over   areas   where  
in

flammable substances and materials
are
  present:   grass,   leaves,   etc...
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.

When towing
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
 m

aximum   permitted   without   exceeding   it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing
  engine   per formance.   Above  
1 0

00 metres,   the   maximum   towed   load   must  
b

e reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
Side wind
F Take   into   account   the   increased   sensitivity  t
o   side   wind.
For more information on Weights
, refer
to   the   corresponding   section.
The   rear   parking   sensors   will   be  
d

eactivated automatically to avoid the
audible
  signal   if   a   genuine   CITROËN  
t

owbar   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. 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 headlamp beam
height
  of   your   vehicle.
For more information on Adjusting the
headlamp beam height , refer to the
corresponding
 s

ection.
