Engine oil level indicator*
On versions fitted with an electric oil level
indicator, the state of the engine oil level is
displayed in the instrument panel for a few
seconds, after the servicing information.The level read will only be correct if
the vehicle is on level ground and the
engine has been off for more than
30
m
inutes.Oil level correct
This is indicated by the display of the message
"Oil level incorrect" in the instrument panel
screen, accompanied by the service warning
lamp and an audible signal.
If the low oil level is confirmed by a check using
the dipstick, the level must be topped up to
avoid damage to the engine.
For more information on Checking levels,
refer to the corresponding section. This is signalled by the display of the message
"Oil level measurement invalid" in the
instrument panel.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In the event of a fault with the electric indicator,
the oil level is no longer monitored.
If the system is faulty, you must check the
engine oil level using the manual dipstick
located under the bonnet.
For more information on Checking
levels,
refer to the corresponding section.

Heating
Temperature adjustment
F Press one of the arrows, or move the cursor from blue (cold) to red
(hot) to adjust the temperature to
your wishes.
Air flow adjustment
F Press one of these buttons to increase or decrease the speed
of the booster fan.
Air distribution adjustmentThe recirculation of interior air prevents exterior
odours and smoke entering the passenger
compartment.
This function also allows the air in the
passenger compartment to be heated or cooled
more quickly.
Windscreen.
Centre and side vents. Footwells. The air distribution can be varied by using
more than one button: illumination of the
button indicates that air is distributed in that
direction; no illumination indicates that air is not
distributed in that direction.
Pressing all three buttons gives an even
distribution in the passenger compartment.
Air intake / Air recirculation
F Press this button to select the
exterior air intake mode to the
passenger compartment.
Avoid driving for too long without
ventilation (risk of misting and
deterioration of air quality).
The heating system works only when the
engine is running.
Press the button for the Air conditioning
menu to display the page for the system
controls. The symbol for air flow (a fan) fills progressively
according to the air flow setting made.
By reducing the air flow to the minimum, you
are stopping ventilation of the passenger
compartment.
The air distribution in the passenger
compartment can be adjusted by combining the
use of several vents.
When the indicator lamp is off, air is taken from
outside the vehicle. When the indicator lamp is
on, the air inside the passenger compartment
is recirculated and the intake of air from outside
the vehicle is inhibited.

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.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.
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 Adjusting the
headlamp beam height , refer to the
corresponding section.

Label on door panel
Before leaving the vehicle, check
that the parking brake is applied: the
indicator lamps in the instrument panel
and the control lever must be on fixed,
not flashing.
If the parking brake is not applied, there
is an audible signal and a message is
displayed on opening the driver's door.
Never leave a child alone inside the
vehicle with the ignition on, as they
could release the parking brake.When towing, parking on a steep slope,
or if your vehicle is heavily laden,
turn the wheels towards the kerb and
engage a gear (with a manual gearbox)
or place the gear selector at position
P
with an automatic gearbox.
For towing, your vehicle is approved for
parking on slopes of up to 12%.
Manual operation
Application of the parking brake
is confirmed by illumination of
the brake indicator lamp and
the
P indicator lamp in the control
lever, accompanied by the display of
the message "Parking brake applied".
Manual release
With the ignition on or the engine running, to
release the parking brake:
F

F
w
hile maintaining pressure on the brake
pedal, briefly push the control lever.
The complete release of the parking brake
is confirmed by the brake indicator lamp and
the
P indicator lamp in the control lever going
off, accompanied by the display of the message
"Parking brake released".
If you push the control lever without
pressing the brake pedal, the parking
brake will not be released and a
message is displayed.
Manual application
With the vehicle stationary: briefly pull the control lever.
Confirmation of the command is signalled by
flashing of the indicator lamp in the control
l eve r.
