Central storage compartment
F To  open   the   central   storage   compartment,  p
ull   the   grip   and   lower   the   cover.
It
  is   illuminated   on   opening.
A
  button   on   the   upper   part   allows   the   lighting   to  
b

e   deactivated.
230 V / 50 Hz power socket
A 230 V / 50 Hz socket (maximum power: 120 W) is   fitted   in   the   central   storage   box.
To
  use   the   socket:
F
 
o
pen   the   central   storage   box,
F
 
c
heck   that   the   warning   lamp   is   on   green,
F

c
onnect your multimedia or other electrical
device
  (telephone   charger,   laptop  
c

omputer, CD-DVD player, baby food
warmer...).
This
  socket   works   with   the   engine   running,   as  
w

ell   as   in   STOP   mode   with   Stop   &   Start.
Depending
 
on
 
equipment,
 
it
 
may
 
contain:

socket In
  the   event   of   a   fault   with   the   socket,   the   green  
w

arning
 lam
p
 f
lashes.
Have
  it   checked   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

ualified
 w
orkshop. Connect only one device at a time to
the
  socket   (no   extension   or   multi-way  
c

onnector).
Connect only devices with class II
insulation   (shown   on   the   device).
As a safety measure, when electrical
consumption   is   high   and   when   required  
b

y   the   vehicle's   electrical   system  
(

particular weather conditions, electrical
overload...),   the   current   supply   to   the  
s

ocket   will   be   cut   off;   the   green   warning  l
amp   goes   off.

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.

Brake wear depends on the style of   driving,   particularly   in   the   case o

f vehicles used in town, over short
distances.
  It   may   be   necessary   to   have
 t

he   condition   of   the   brakes   checked,
 e

ven   between   vehicle   services.
Brake pads
For information on checking brake disc wear, contact a CITROËN dealer
or
  a   qualified   workshop.
Brake disc wear
Only use products recommended by
CITROËN or products of equivalent
quality
 an
d
 sp
ecification.
In order to optimise the operation of
units as important as those in the
braking
  system,   CITROËN   selects   and  
o

ffers   very   specific   products.
After
  washing   the   vehicle,   dampness,  
o

r in wintry conditions, ice can form
on
  the   brake   discs   and   pads:   braking  
e

fficiency   may   be   reduced.   Make   light  
b

rake   applications   to   dry   and   defrost  
t

he   brakes.
Electric parking brake
For more information, refer to the " Electric
parking brake - Operating faults "
  section.
This system does not require any
routine
  servicing.   However,   in   the  
e

vent of a problem, have the system
checked   by   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a  
q

ualified
 w
orkshop.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any m
aintenance   (no   oil   change).
Refer
  to   the   manufacturer's   service  
s

chedule   for   the   checking   interval   for  
t

his
 c
omponent.
Automatic gearbox
The gearbox does not require any maintenance   (no   oil   change).
Refer
  to   the   manufacturer's   service  
s

chedule for details of the level
checking
  interval   for   this   component.
To
  avoid   damaging   the   electrical   units,  
n

ever use   a   high   pressure   jet   wash   in  
t

he   engine   compartment.
Unless
  there   is   a   leak   in   the   circuit,   a   drop   in  
t

he   brake   fluid   level   indicates   that   the   brake  
p

ads   are   worn.
