Limit the causes of excess consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the bottom   of   the   boot,   as   close   as   possible   to   the   rear   seats.
Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof
bars,
  roof   rack,   bicycle   carrier,   trailer...).   Use   a   roof   box   in   preference.
Remove
  roof   bars   and   roof   racks   after   use.
At
  the   end   of   winter,   remove   snow   tyres   and   refit   your   summer   tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in the   door   aperture,   driver's   side.
Carry
  out   this   check   in   particular:
-
 
b
efore   a   long   journey,
-
 
a
t   each   change   of   season,
-
 
a
fter   a   long   period   out   of   use.
Don't
  forget   the   spare   wheel   and   the   tyres   on   any   trailer   or   caravan.
Have
  your   vehicle   serviced   regularly   (engine   oil,   oil   filter,   air   filter,  
p

assenger   compartment   filter...)   and   observe   the   schedule   of  
o

perations   recommended   in   the   manufacturer's   service   schedule.
With
  a   BlueHDi   Diesel   engine,   if   the   SCR   system   is   faulty   your   vehicle  
b

ecomes   polluting;   go   to   a   CITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop  
w

ithout   delay   to   have   the   emissions   of   nitrous   oxides   brought   back   to  
t

he   legal   level.
When
  refuelling,   do   not   continue   after   the   third   cut-off   of   the   nozzle   to  
a

void   any   over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles
(3 000
  kilometres)   that   you   will   see   the   fuel   consumption   settle   down   to  
a

  consistent   average.

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.

Under-inflation detection
The system monitors the pressures in the four
tyres,
  once   the   vehicle   is   moving.
It
  compares   the   information   given   by   the   four  
w

heel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised ever y time the
tyre pressures are adjusted or a wheel
changed .
The
  system   triggers   an   alert   as   soon   as   it  
d

etects a drop in the inflation pressure of one
or
  more   tyres. The under-inflation detection system
does
  not   replace   the   need   for   vigilance  
o

n   the   part   of   the   driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check
  the   tyre   pressures   (including   the  
s

pare wheel) every month as well as
before
  a   long   journey.
Driving
  with   under-inflated   tyres   impairs  
r

oad   holding,   extends   braking   distances  
a

nd causes premature tyre wear,
particularly under arduous conditions
(high
  loading,   high   speed,   long   journey).
System
  which   automatically   checks   the   pressures   of   the   tyres   while   driving.
The inflation pressures defined for
your vehicle can be found on the tyre
pressure
  label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding
 s

ection.
Tyre
  pressures   should   be   checked  
w

hen the tyres are "cold" (vehicle
stopped
  for   1   hour   or   after   a   journey   of  
l

ess   than   6   miles   (10   km)   at   moderate  
s

peeds).
Other wise
  (when   hot),   add   0.3   bar   to  
t

he   pressures   shown   on   the   label.
Driving
  with   under-inflated   tyres  
i

ncreases   fuel   consumption.

e

quipment,   the   display   of   a   message. It is necessary to reinitialise the system every

not   satisfy   yourself   with   just   a   visual

einitialised.
Snow chains
The system does not have to be
reinitialised  after   fitting   or   removing  
sn

ow
 c
hains.
Before
  reinitialising   the   system,   ensure  
t

hat the pressures of the four tyres are
correct for the use of the vehicle and in
line with the recommendations on the
tyre   pressure   label.
The under-inflation alert can only
be relied on if the reinitialisation of
the system has been done with the
pressures in the four tyres correctly
adjusted.
The under-inflation detection system
does   not   give   a   warning   if   a   pressure   is  
i

ncorrect   at   the   time   of   reinitialisation.

Intelligent traction control
system ("Snow motion")
When this warning lamp comes on, coupled with the STOP  and   ABS   warning  
l

amps,   accompanied   by   an   audible   signal  
a

nd   a   message,   it   indicates   that   there  
i

s   a   fault   with   the   electronic   brake   force  
di

stribution
 (
EBFD).
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake force
distribution (EBFD)
The fixed illumination of this warning lamp indicates that there is a fault
with
  the   ABS. Depending
  on   version,   your   vehicle   has   a  s
ystem   to   help   driving   on   snow:   intelligent
traction control.
This system detects situations of difficult
sur face
  adhesion   that   could   make   it   difficult   to  
m

ove   off   or   make   progress   on   deep   fresh   snow  
o

r   compacted   snow.
In these situations, the intelligent traction
control limits the amount of wheel slip to
provide
  the   best   traction   and   trajectory   control  
f

or   your   vehicle.
The
  use   of   snow   tyres   is   strongly  
r

ecommended   on   sur faces   offering   low   levels  
o

f   adhesion.
When
  changing   wheels   (tyres   and  
r

ims), ensure that these are approved
for
  your   vehicle.
Normal
  operation   of   the   ABS   may   make  
i

tself   felt   by   slight   vibrations   of   the   brake  
ped

al.
In emergency braking, press ver y
firmly and maintain this pressure.
You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
In
 
both
 
cases,   have   the   system   checked   by   a  
C

ITROËN   dealer   or   a   qualified   workshop   as  
s

oon
 
as
 
possible.
The
 
vehicle   retains   conventional   braking.   Drive  
c

arefully
 
at   moderate   speed.
