Load reduction mode
System which manages the use of certain
functions according to the level of charge
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates
certain functions, such as air conditioning,
heated rear screen, etc.
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.
Energy economy mode
System which manages the duration of use of
certain functions to conser ve a sufficient level
of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can still use
functions such as the audio and telematics
system, windscreen wipers, dipped beam
headlamps,
courtesy lamps, etc. for a
maximum combined duration of about forty
minutes.
Switching to this mode
A message appears in the instrument panel
screen indicating that the vehicle has switched
to economy mode and the active functions are
put on standby.
If a telephone call is being made at this
time, it will be maintained for around
10
minutes with the hands-free kit of your
audio system.
Exiting the mode
These functions will be automatically restored
the next time the vehicle is used.
In order to restore the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it run:

General recommendations
Obser ve the legislation in force in your
c o u nt r y.
Ensure that the weight of the towing
vehicle is higher than that of the towed
vehicle.
The driver must remain at the wheel of
the towed vehicle and must have a valid
driving licence.
When towing a vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground, always use an
approved towing arm; rope and straps are
prohibited.
The towing vehicle must move off gently.
When the vehicle is towed with its engine
off, there is no longer braking and steering
assistance.
In the following cases, you must always
call on a professional recovery ser vice:
-
v
ehicle broken down on a motor way or
main road,
-

gearbox into neutral, unlock the
steering, or release the parking brake,
-
t

ground,
-
w
here there is no approved towbar
available.
Failure to obser ve this instruction could
result in damage to certain components
(braking, transmission, etc.) and the
absence of braking assistance the next
time the engine is started.

Characteristics of engines
and towed loads
Engines
The engine specifications (capacity, max.
power, max. speed, energy, CO
2 emissions,
etc.) associated with your vehicle are given in
the registration document, as well as in sales
brochures.
These characteristics correspond to the
values type-approved on a test bed, under
conditions defined in European legislation
(Directive
1
999/99/EC).
For more information, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Weights and towed loads
The maximum weights and towed loads for
your vehicle are given in the registration
document, as well as in sales brochures.
These values are also shown on the
manufacturer's nameplate or label.
For more information, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop. The GTW values and the towable loads
listed are valid for a maximum altitude of
1,000
metres. The towable load must be
reduced by steps of 10% for each additional
1,000
metres.
The maximum authorised nose weight
corresponds to the weight permitted on the
towbar.
GT W: Gross train weight.
High exterior temperatures may result
in a reduction in the per formance of the
vehicle to protect the engine. When the
exterior temperature is higher than 37°C,
limit the towed weight.
Towing using a lightly loaded vehicle can
adversely affect roadholding.
Braking distances are increased when
towing a trailer.
When using a vehicle to tow, never exceed
a speed of 60 mph (100 km/h) (obser ve
the local legislation in force). 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.

Checking tyre pressures
The tyre pressures should be checked when
cold at least monthly.
The pressures given on the label are valid for
cold tyres. If you have driven for more than
10 minutes or more than 6 miles (10 kilometres)
at more than 30
mph (50 km/h), the tyres will be
warm; in this case 0.3
bar (30 kPa) should be
added to the pressures given on the label.
Never reduce the pressure of a warm tyre.
Low tyre pressures increase fuel
consumption.Identification markings
Different visible markings for the identification
of your vehicle.
A. Vehicle identification number (VIN) on
the front right seat floor
The number is engraved on the body structure.B. Vehicle identification number (VIN) on
the dashboard
The number is on a label, visible through the
windscreen.
C. Manufacturer's label
This tamperproof label is affixed to the driver’s
door aperture. D. Tyres label
This label is affixed to the driver's door
aperture.
It bears the following information about the
tyres:
-
t
he tyre pressures, unloaded and loaded,
-
t
he tyre specification, made up of the
dimensions and type as well as the load and
speed indices,
-
t
he spare tyre pressure.The vehicle may be originally equipped
with tyres with higher load and speed
indices than those indicated on the label,
without affecting inflation pressure.
It bears the following information:
-
t he name of the manufacturer,
- t he European Whole Vehicle Type Approval
number,
-
t
he vehicle identification number (VIN),
-
t
he gross vehicle weight (GV W),
-
t
he maximum authorised train weight
(GT W),
-
t
he maximum weight on the front axle,
-
t
he maximum weight on the rear axle.
