2016 CITROEN RELAY brake

34under-inflation alert
The alert is given by the fixed
illumination of this warning lamp,
accompanied by an audible signal,
and depending on equipment, the
display of a message.
In the event of a problem on one of the
tyres, the symbol or the message appears,
according to equipment, to identify it.
-

Reduce speed, avoid sudden steering

movements or harsh brake applications.
-

Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
-


In the event of a puncture, use the

temporary puncture repair kit or the
spare wheel (according to equipment).
-

In the event of under-inflation:
●


if you have a compressor
, the one
in the temporary puncture repair
kit for example, check the four tyre
pressures when cold,


or
●

if it is not possible to check the

tyre pressures at the time, drive
carefully at reduced speed and go
to the nearest CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. The loss of pressure detected does not
always lead to visible deformation of the tyre.
Do not rely on just a visual check.
The alert is maintained until the tyre or
tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired
or replaced.
Operating fault
The flashing and then fixed
illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by the illumination
of the service warning lamp, and
depending on equipment, the display of a
message indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures
is not assured.
This alert is also displayed when one or
more wheels is not fitted with a sensor.
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop

to have the system checked or,
following the repair of a puncture, to have
the original wheel, equipped with a sensor,
refitted.

HILL StA rt ASSIS t
This system (also called HHC - Hill Holder
Control), linked to the dynamic stability
control system, makes hill starts easier and
is activated in the following conditions:
-

the vehicle must be stationary
, engine
running, foot on the brake,
-

the gradient of the road must be steeper

than 5%,
-

uphill, the gearbox must be in neutral or

in a gear other than reverse,
-

downhill, reverse gear must be engaged.
The Hill Start

Assist system is a driving
aid. It is not an automatic vehicle parking
function or an automatic parking brake.Operation
With the brake pedal and clutch pedal
pressed, from the time you release the brake
pedal, without using the parking brake, you
have approximately 2 seconds to move off
before the vehicle starts to roll back.
During the moving off phase, the function
is deactivated automatically, gradually
releasing the braking pressure. During
this phase, the characteristic noise of
mechanical release of the brakes may be
heard, indicating the imminent movement of
the vehicle.
Operating fault
If a malfunction of the system
occurs, this warning lamp comes
on accompanied by an audible
signal and confirmed by a message
in the screen. Have the system checked by at
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. Hill start assist is deactivated in the following
situations:
-

when the clutch pedal is released,
-


when the parking brake is applied,
-


when the engine is switched of
f,
-

when the engine stalls.

Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep
your hands on the wheel so that you are
ready to react at any time to any eventuality.
On a long journey, a break every two hours
is strongly recommended.
In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate
the need to brake and increase the distance
from other vehicles.
driving on flooded roads
We strongly advise against driving on
flooded roads, as this could cause serious
damage to the engine or gearbox, as well as
to the electrical systems of your vehicle. If you are obliged to drive through water:
-

check that the depth of water does not

exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves
that might be generated by other users,
-
deactivate the Stop & Start system,
-

drive as slowly as possible without

stalling. In all cases, do not exceed
6 mph (10 km/h),
-

do not stop and do not switch of
f the
engine.
On leaving the flooded road, as soon as
circumstances allow, make several light
brake applications to dry the brake discs and
pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Important!
Never drive with the parking brake applied -
Risk of overheating and damage to the
braking system!
Do not park or run the engine when
stationary in areas where inflammable
substances and materials (dry grass, dead
leaves...) might come into contact with the
hot exhaust system - Risk of fire!
Never leave a vehicle unsupervised with
the engine running. If you have to leave
your vehicle with the engine running, apply
the parking brake and put the gearbox into
neutral.

If your vehicle is fitted with this camera, it is
located at the rear, next to the third brake
lamp.
It sends images to the screen installed
in the cab. This rear vision is an aid to
manoeuvring.
The reversing camera may be coupled with
rear parking sensors.Screen
The camera sends the images to a 5 inch
LCD colour screen. This screen is also
the one used by the touch screen audio-
telematic system.
Activation and deactivation of the system
is done in the settings menu of the touch
screen audio-telematic system.
Operation
The camera comes into operation when
reverse gear is engaged and remains active
up to approximately 9 mph (15 km/h). It is
deactivated above 11 mph (18 km/h).
The camera also comes on, with the vehicle
stationary, when the rear doors are opened.
Switching off
When a forward gear is engaged, the last
image remains displayed for approximately
5 seconds then switches off.
In the same way, the last image also
remains displayed, with the vehicle
stationary, when the rear doors are closed.
Good practice
With optimum vehicle conditions (position on
the road, loading level) the maximum area of
visibility covered by the camera has a field
depth approximately 3 m long and 5.5
m wide.
The area of visibility may vary depending on
the external weather conditions (brightness,
rain, snow, fog, ...), the load in the vehicle
and the position of the vehicle on the road.
When cleaning the camera and the screen,
avoid using a detergent or a tool which may
scratch the glass.
Use a non-abrasive cloth or a small brush.
