Warning lamps
When the engine is running or the vehicle is being driven, illumination of one of the following warning lamps indicates a fault which requires action on
the part of the driver.
Any fault resulting in the illumination of a warning lamp must be investigated further by reading the associated message in the instrument panel
screen.
If you encounter any problems, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.Warning / indicator lamp State

ction / Observations
STOP fixed, associated
with another warning
lamp, accompanied
by an audible signal
and a message in the
screen. Illumination of this warning lamp is
related to a serious fault with the
braking system, power steering, the
engine oil pressure or engine coolant
temperature or a major electrical
fault. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so as the engine may
cut out.
Park, switch off the ignition and call a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.

coolant
t emperature gauge
With the engine running:
- in z
one A, the temperature is correct,
-
in z

one B, the temperature is too high; the
central STOP warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an audible signal and a
message in the instrument panel screen.
You MUST stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Wait a few minutes before switching off the
engine.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. After driving for a few minutes, the temperature
and pressure in the cooling system increase.
To top up the level:

pressure to drop,

wh
en the pressure has dropped, remove
the cap,

Be aware of the risk of burns when
topping up the cooling system. Do not
fill above the maximum level (indicated
on the reservoir).

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
i

t.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine per formance. Above
1

m
etres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10
% f

or every 1
0
00 metres of
altitude.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity
t o 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
To l

ower 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
If t

he 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
v ehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling
o n 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.

coolant level
The coolant level should be close
to the "MA X" mark but should never
exceed it.
Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying
out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the
pressure to drop. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and top
up the level.
When the engine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan.
The cooling fan may star t after switching
off the engine: take care with ar ticles and
clothing that might be caught by the fan
blades.
Specification of the fluid
To ensure optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, the fluid should never be topped up or
replaced by plain water.
In wintry conditions, the use of an ethyl alcohol
or methanol base fluid is recommended.
Screenwash / headlamp
wash level
To check the level or top up the fluid on vehicle
fitted with headlamp washers, immobilise the
vehicle and switch of the engine.
