coolant
temperature fixed.
The temperature of the cooling
system is too high. Stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Wait until the engine has cooled down before topping-
up the level, if necessary.

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 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.

Operating fault
In the event of a fault, you are alerted
by the illumination of this warning
lamp, accompanied by the display of
a message and an audible signal.
If the front bumper is to be repainted,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop. Certain types of
paint could inter fere with the operation
of the radar. Clean the windscreen regularly,
particularly the area in front of the
camera.
Do not allow snow to accumulate on
the bonnet or roof of the vehicle as this
could mask the camera's view.
Clean the front bumper, removing mud,
snow, ... There may be inter ference in the
operation of the camera or it may not
work at all in the following situations:
-

p
oor visibility (inadequate street
lighting, falling snow, heavy rain,
dense fog, ...),
-

d

approaching vehicle on the other
side of the road, low sun, reflection
on a wet road, leaving a tunnel,
alternating between light and
shade, ...),
-

c
amera or radar masked (mud,
frost, snow, ...).
In these situations, detection
per formance may be reduced.
Check that the sensors (camera and radar) are
not covered by dirt, mud, frost, snow...
If the problem persists, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop to have the
system checked.

Fatigue detection system
Depending on version, the "Driving time
warning" may be combined with the "Fatigue
detection system".
Using a camera placed at the top of the
windscreen, the system assesses the driver's
level of vigilance by identifying variations in
trajectory compared to the lane markings.
This system is particularly suited to fast roads
(speed higher than 40 mph (65 km/h)).Once the system considers that the behaviour
of the vehicle suggests a certain level of fatigue
or inattention by the driver, it triggers the first
level of alert.
The driver is then alerted by the message
"
Ta k e c a r e ! ", accompanied by an audible
signal.
After three first level alerts, the system triggers
a new alert with the message " Take a break!",
accompanied by a more pronounced audible
signal. In certain driving conditions (poor road
sur face or strong winds), the system
may give alerts independent of the
driver's level of vigilance.
The following situations may inter fere
with the operation of the system or
prevent it working:
-
p
oor visibility (inadequate lighting
of the roadway, falling snow, heavy
rain, dense fog, ...),
- d azzle (headlamps of an oncoming
vehicle, low sun, reflections on
a damp road, leaving a tunnel,

Travelling abroad
Halogen headlamps
For motoring in countries that drive
on the other side of the road, it is
necessary to adapt the adjustment of
the dipped beams so as to not dazzle
the drivers of approaching vehicles.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or qualified
workshop.
Xenon headlamps
The design of the dipped beam
headlamps allows you to drive in a
country that drives on the other side
of the road, without the need for any
modification.
In the event of the failure of one or more
bulbs, a message advises you to check
the lamp(s) in question.
