Touch screen tablet
This system gives access to:
- m enus for adjusting settings for vehicle
functions and systems,
-
a
udio and display settings menus,
-
a
udio system and telephone controls and
the display of associated information,
-
t
he display of the ambient temperature
(a blue snowflake appears if there is a risk
of i c e),
-
t
he display of the trip computer.
Recommendations
It is necessary to press firmly, particularly for
"flick" gestures (scrolling through lists, moving
the map...). A light wipe is not enough.
The screen does not recognise pressing with
more than one finger.
This technology allows use at all temperatures
and when wearing gloves.
Do not use pointed objects on the touch screen
tablet.
Do not touch the touch screen tablet with wet
hands.
Uses a soft clean cloth to clean the touch
screen tablet.
General operation
Principles
Press the virtual buttons in the touch screen
tablet.
Each menu is displayed over one or two pages
(primary page and secondary page).
As a safety measure, the driver
should only carr y out operations
that require close attention, with the
vehicle stationary.
Some functions are not accessible
when driving.
And, depending on equipment, it also allows:
-
t
he display of visual parking sensors
information,
-
a
ccess to the controls for the navigation
system and Internet services, and the
display of associated information. After a few moments with no action on
the secondary page, the primary page
is displayed automatically.
Use the "
O
PTIONS
" b
utton to go to the
secondary page.
Use this button for access to
additional information and to the
settings for certain functions.
Use this button to confirm.
Use this button to quit or to return to
the primary page.

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 maximum permitted without
exceeding
it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine per formance. Above
1
000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10
% for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F
T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
speed.
The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
F
I
f the warning lamp and the STOP
warning lamp come on, stop the
vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of
engine braking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling on the trailer and the hadlamp beam height
of your vehicle.
For more information on adjusting the
headlamp beam height, refer to the
corresponding section.
For more information on weights (and
the towed loads which apply to your
vehicle) refer to the corresponding
section.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a genuine
CITROËN towbar is used.

Parking sensors
This system indicates the proximity of an
obstacle (person, vehicle, tree, gate, etc.)
which comes within the field of detection of
sensors located in the bumper.
Certain types of obstacle (stake, roadworks
cone, etc.) detected initially will no longer be
detected at the end of the manoeuvre, if they
are located in blind spots in the sensors' field
of detection.
This system cannot in any circumstances replace
the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
The system is switched on by engaging reverse
g e a r.
This is confirmed by an audible signal.
The system is switched off when you come out
of reverse gear.
Rear parking sensors
Audible assistance
The proximity information is given by an
intermittent audible signal, the frequency of which
increases as the vehicle approaches the obstacle.
The sound emitted by the speaker (right or left)
indicates the side on which the obstacle is located.
When the distance between the vehicle and
the obstacle becomes less than approximately
thirty centimetres, the audible signal becomes
continuous.
Visual assistance
This supplements the audible signal by
displaying bars in the screen which move
progressively nearer to the vehicle.
When the obstacle is very close, the "Danger"
symbol is displayed in the screen.

Front parking sensorsOperating fault
In the event of a malfunction of the
system, when reverse gear is engaged
this warning lamp is displayed in the
instrument panel and/or a message
appears in the screen, accompanied
by an audible signal (short beep).
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In addition to the rear parking sensors, the
front parking sensors are triggered when an
obstacle is 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 vehicle stops for more than three seconds
in for ward gear, if no further obstacles are
detected or when the speed of the vehicle
exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
The function will be deactivated
automatically if a trailer is being towed
or a bicycle carrier is fitted (vehicle
fitted 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
engaged, an audible signal (long beep)
indicates that the sensors may be dirty.
Certain sound sources (motorcycle,
lorry, pneumatic drill, etc.) may trigger
the audible signals of the parking
sensor system.
deactivation/Activation of the
front and rear parking sensors
The function is deactivated by pressing this button.
The indicator lamp in the button comes on.
Pressing this button again reactivates the function.
The indicator lamp in the button goes off.
The sound emitted by the speaker
(front or rear) indicates whether the
obstacle is in front or behind.

Reversing camera
The reversing camera is activated automatically
when reverse gear is engaged.
The colour image is provided in the touch
screen tablet.The blue lines represent the general direction
of the vehicle.
The blue curved lines represent the maximum
turning circle.
The green lines represent distances of around
1 to 2 metres beyond the edge of the vehicle's
rear bumper.
The red line represents the distance of around
30 cm beyond the edge of your vehicle's rear
b u m p e r.
The lines displayed in the screen do not allow
the position of the vehicle to be determined
relative to tall obstacles (for example: vehicles
nearby).
Some deformation of the image is normal.High pressure jet washing
When cleaning your vehicle, keep the
end of the high pressure lance at least
30 cm from the camera lens.
Clean the camera lens regularly using
a soft cloth.
The reversing camera system may be
accompanied by parking sensors.
This system is a driving aid that does
not replace vigilance on the part of the
driver, who must remain in control of
the vehicle at all times.
