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 headlamp beam 
height of your vehicle.
For more information on Weights
, refer 
to the corresponding section.
The rear parking sensors will be 
deactivated automatically to avoid the 
audible signal if a genuine CITROËN 
towbar is used.
If the ambient temperature is high, it 
is recommended that the engine be 
allowed to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after 
the vehicle comes to a stop, to facilitate 
its cooling. For more information on Adjusting the 
headlamp beam height
, refer to the 
corresponding section.

 ait until this warning lamp 
goes off in the instrument panel 
then operate the starter motor 
by turning the key to position 3 
until the engine starts, without 
pressing the accelerator. Once 
the engine starts, release the key. The warning lamp does not come 
on if the engine is already warm. 
Depending on the climatic conditions, 
it is recommended that you proceed as 
follows:
-
 
I
 n temperate conditions, do not 
run the engine with the vehicle 
stationary to warm it up, but rather 
move off straight away and drive at 
moderate engine speeds.
-  
I
 n wintry conditions, the pre-heater 
warning lamp will stay on for a 
longer period after switching on the 
ignition; wait until it goes off before 
starting.
-
  In ver y severe wintr y 
conditions
 (
temperature 
below
  -23°C), to ensure the correct 
operation and durability of the 
mechanical components of your 
vehicle (engine and gearbox), leave 
the engine running for 4 minutes 
before moving off.
Never leave the engine running in 
an enclosed area without adequate 
ventilation: internal combustion 
engines emit toxic exhaust gases, 
such as carbon monoxide. Danger of 
intoxication and death. If the engine does not start straight 
away, switch off the ignition.
Wait a few moments before trying 
again. If the engine does not start after 
a few attempts, do not keep trying: you 
risk damaging the starter motor and the 
engine.
Call on a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.

Back-up starting

key in the recognition zone, because the 
remote control battery is flat, a back-up reader 
is provided to the left, behind the steering 
wheel to allow starting.F

The engine starts. If the remote control is no longer in the 
recognition zone when you close a door or 
when you (later) request switching off the 
engine, a message appears in the instrument 
panel.
Forced switch-offRemote control not 
recognised
F If you want to force switching off the 
engine, press and hold the "START/STOP" 
button for about 3 seconds, then contact a 
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

F
 
I
 t is possible to return to 
automatic operation at any time 
by pressing button M again.
It is only possible to change from one 
gear to another if the vehicle speed  
and engine speed permit.
Manual operation
If the engine speed is too low or too 
high, the gear selected flashes for 
a few seconds, then the actual gear 
engaged is displayed.
When the vehicle is stationary or 
moving very slowly, the gearbox 
selects gear M1  automatically. To save the brakes when descending 
a steep incline, use engine braking to 
reduce your speed (take your foot off 
the accelerator pedal or change down).
Keeping the brake pedal pressed 
continuously for long periods can 
overheat the brakes, with the risk of 
damaging the braking system or  
making it inoperative.
Only use the brakes when necessary,  
to slow or stop the vehicle.

Depending on the configuration of the 
road (for example: mountain pass), 
it may be preferable to use manual 
operation.
This is because automatic operation 
may not be best suited, not allowing the 
use of engine braking.

When the ignition is on, a message 
appears in the instrument panel 
screen to indicate a gearbox fault.
Operating fault
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up 
mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may feel 
a substantial knock when changing from P 
to R and from N to R. This will not cause any 
damage to the gearbox.
Do not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h), local speed 
restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop. You risk damaging the gearbox:
-
 
i
 f you press the accelerator and 
brake pedals at the same time 
(braking or acceleration must be 
done only with the right foot),
-  
i
 f you force the selector from 
position P to another position when 
the battery is flat.
To reduce fuel consumption when 
stationary for long periods with the 
engine running (traffic jam...), position 
the selector at N and apply the parking 
brake.
Stopping the vehicle
A stiff point may be noticed when 
moving to position P .
If the selector is not in position P , 
when the driver's door is opened or 
approximately 45 seconds after the 
ignition is switched off, there is an 
audible signal and a message appears.
F
 
R
 eturn the selector to position P ; 
the audible signal stops and the 
message disappears.
Before switching off the engine, select 
position
 
P then apply the parking brake to 
immobilise the vehicle. In all circumstances, ensure that the 
selector is in position P before leaving 
your vehicle. On a steep slope with a loaded 
vehicle, press the brake pedal
, select 
position
 
 P
, apply the parking brake then 
release the brake pedal.

In the event of a fault with the dynamic cruise 
control, you are alerted by an audible signal 
and display of the message message "Driving 
aid functions fault".
Have the system checked by a CITROËN 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Operating faultThe dynamic cruise control operates 
by day and at night, in fog or moderate 
rainfall.When the cruise control is working, take 
care if making a maintained press on 
one of the cruise control programmed 
speed modification buttons: this can 
lead to a very quick change in the 
speed of your vehicle.
Do not use the dynamic cruise control 
on slippery sur faces or in heavy traffic.
When descending a steep hill, the 
cruise control may not be able to 
prevent the vehicle from exceeding the 
programmed speed.
When ascending a steep hill or when 
towing, it might not be possible to 
achieve or maintain the programmed 
speed.
The use of mats not approved by 
CITROËN may inter fere with the 
operation of the dynamic cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
-
 
e
 nsure that mats are secured 
c o r r e c t l y,
-
 
n
 ever fit one mat on top of another.
It is recommended that you always keep 
your feet close to the pedals.
If the difference between the 
programmed speed setting and the 
speed of the vehicle in front is too 
great, the speed cannot be adjusted: 
the cruise control is automatically 
deactivated. The system does not act on the braking 
system, but works only with engine 
braking.
The regulation range is limited: there 
will no longer be any adjustment of 
speed if the difference between the 
programmed speed setting and the 
speed of the vehicle in front becomes 
too high.
The dynamic cruise control cannot 
in any circumstances replace the 
observation of speed limits, nor the 
need for the vigilance on the part of the 
driver.
