must be carried out as soon as possible.
Example: the service is overdue by 180 miles
(300 km).

may also be accompanied by the fixed
illumination of the service warning lamp
when the ignition is on.
5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the distance recorder resumes its normal
operation.
The spanner remains on .The distance remaining may be
weighted by the time factor, depending
on the driving conditions.
Therefore, the spanner may also come
on if you have exceeded the period
since the last service, indicated in the
manufacturer's service schedule.
Less than 600 miles (1 000 km)
remain before the next service is due
Example:
560 miles (900 km) remain before
the next service is due.
For 5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the screen indicates:
5 seconds after the ignition is switched on,
the distance recorder resumes its normal
operation. The spanner remains on to
indicate that a service must be carried out
soon. For BlueHDi Diesel versions, the
spanner may also be brought on earlier
than expected, depending on the
degree of deterioration of the engine oil
(depending on the country of sale).
The rate of deterioration of the engine
oil depends on the driving conditions in
which the vehicle is used.

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.
For more information on Weights , refer to the
corresponding section.
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 exterior
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 Adjusting the
headlamp beam height , 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 exterior 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.
