he   display   of   information   related   to   the  
c

ruise   control   disappears. When the cruise control is switched on,
be
  careful   if   you   maintain   the   pressure  o
n   one   of   the   programmed   speed  
c

hanging   buttons:   this   may   result   in   a  
v

ery   rapid   change   in   the   speed   of   your  
v

ehicle.
Do not use the cruise control on
slippery
  roads   or   in   heavy   traffic.
On a steep descent, the cruise control
will not be able to prevent the vehicle
from
  exceeding   the   programmed   speed.
On
  steep   climbs   or   when   towing,   the  
p

rogrammed   speed   may   not   be   reached  
o

r   maintained.
The
  use   of   mats   not   approved   by  
C

ITROËN   may   inter fere   with   the  
o

peration   of   the   cruise   control.

Front parking
sensors
The sound emitted by the speaker (front or rear) indicates whether the obstacle
is
  in   front   or   behind. The
  system   will   be   deactivated  a
utomatically   if   a   trailer   is   being  
t

owed or a bicycle carrier is fitted on
a towbar (vehicle fitted with a towbar
installed
  in   line   with   the   manufacturer's  
r

ecommendations).In bad weather or in winter, ensure
that the sensors are not covered with
mud,
  ice   or   snow.   When   reverse   gear   is  
e

ngaged,   an   audible   signal   (long   beep)  
i

ndicates   that   the   sensors   may   be   dirty.
Certain
  sound   sources   (motorcycle,

When not towing a trailer, remove the quickly-detachable   tow   ball   before  
d

riving.
Towing a trailer
We recommend the use of genuine C ITROËN towbars and their harnesses
that have been tested and approved
from
  the   design   stage   of   your   vehicle,  
a

nd   that   the   fitting   of   the   towbar   is  
e

ntrusted to a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified
 w

orkshop.
If the towbar is not fitted by a
CITROËN
  dealer,   it   must   still   be  
f

itted in accordance with the vehicle
manufacturer's
 i

nstructions.
Your
 
vehicle   is   primarily   designed   for  
t

ransporting   people   and   luggage,   but   it   may  
a

lso
 
be   used   for   towing   a   trailer. Driving   with   a   trailer   places   greater  
d

emands   on   the   towing   vehicle   and   the  
d

river   must   take   particular   care.
For   more   advice   on   driving   when  
t

owing,   refer   to   the   corresponding
