Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to 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 towable load on an incline
depends on the gradient and the exterior
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.

f this warning lamp and the
STOP warning lamp come on,

the engine as soon as possible.
New vehicle
Do not pull a trailer before having driven at least
approximately 620


miles (1,000

kilometres).
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 Headlamp
beam height adjustment , refer to the
corresponding section.
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid
functions are automatically disabled if an
approved towing system 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.

operate the engine pre-heating system. The warning lamp does not come on
if the engine is hot. In some climatic
conditions, it is advised to follow the
recommendations below:
-
I n temperate conditions, do not leave
the engine at idle to warm up but move
off straight away and drive at moderate
speed.
Depending on version, if the air
conditioning is activated and when the
exterior temperature exceeds 35°C,
the idle engine speed can accelerate
to reach 1,300
rpm according to the air
conditioning requirements.

n wintry conditions, the pre-heater
warning lamp will stay on for a longer
period after switching on the ignition;
wait until it goes off before starting.
-
In ver y severe wintr y
conditions


(temperature below
-23°C), to ensure the correct operation
and durability of the mechanical
components of your vehicle (engine
and gearbox), leave the engine
running for 4


minutes before moving
of f.
Never leave the engine running in
an enclosed area without adequate
ventilation: internal combustion engines
emit toxic exhaust gases, such as carbon
monoxide. Danger of poisoning and death! With Petrol engines
, after a cold start,
preheating the catalytic converter can
cause clearly-felt engine vibrations when
stationary, with the engine running, for
anything up to 2 minutes (accelerated idle
speed).
If the engine does not start straight away,
switch off the ignition.
Wait a few seconds before restarting the
engine. If the engine does not start after
several attempts, do not keep trying: you
risk damaging the starter motor or the
engine.
Call in a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
To avoid any risk of jamming the pedals:
-

o
nly use mats which are suited to the
fixings already present in the vehicle;
these fixings must be used,
-

n
ever place one mat on top of another.
The use of mats not approved by
CITROËN may inter fere with access to
the pedals and hinder the operation of the
cruise control/speed limiter.
The mats approved by CITROËN have two
fixings located below the seat.

running and with the remote control on
your person.
If the remote control leaves the
recognition zone, a message is displayed.
Move the remote control into the zone in
order to be able to start the engine.
If one of the starting conditions is not met,
a message appears in the instrument
panel. In some cases, it is necessary to

vehicle is completely immobilised. When leaving the vehicle, remove the key
and lock the doors.
As a safety measure (with children on
board), never leave the vehicle without
taking your remote control with you, even
for a short period.
Switching off the engine leads to a loss of
braking assistance.
Avoid attaching heavy objects to the key,
which would weigh down on its blade
in the ignition switch and could cause a
malfunction.

If P is displayed in the instrument panel
while the selector is in another position,
place the selector in position P to allow
the engine to be started.
If position N is selected inadvertently while
driving, allow the engine to return to idle,
then select position D to accelerate.
If your vehicle has an automatic gearbox,
never try to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle.Automatic operation
F Select position D for automatic
changing of the six gears.
Never select position N while the vehicle
is moving.
Never select position P or R unless the
vehicle is completely stationary.
Temporary manual control
of gear changes
You can temporarily take over control of gear
changes using the “ +” and “ -” steering mounted
control paddles. If the engine speed allows, the
gear change is carried out.
This function allows you to anticipate certain
situations, such as overtaking another vehicle
or approaching a bend in the road.
After a few moments with no action on the
control paddles, the gearbox returns to
automatic operation.
If position R
, D or M is selected when the
engine is running at idle, with the brakes
released, the vehicle moves even without
the accelerator being pressed.
Never leave children in the vehicle
unsupervised.
As a safety measure, never leave the
vehicle without taking your key or remote
control with you, even for a short time.
When carrying out maintenance with the
engine running, apply the parking brake
and select position P . The gearbox then operates in auto-adaptive
mode, without any inter vention on the part
of the driver. It continuously selects the most
suitable gear according to the style of driving,
the profile of the road and the load in the
vehicle.
For maximum acceleration without
touching the selector, press the
accelerator fully (kick-down).
The gearbox changes down
automatically or holds the gear
selected until the maximum engine
speed is reached.
When braking, the gearbox changes down
automatically to provide effective engine
braking.
For better safety, the gearbox will not shift up if
you release the accelerator sharply.
Creep function (moving without
using the accelerator)
This function facilitates manoeuvring of the
vehicle at low speed (when parking, in traffic
jams, etc.).
With the engine at idle, parking brake released
and position D , M or R selected, the vehicle
moves


as soon as you take your foot off
the brake pedal (even without pressing the
accelerator).
As a safety measure (with children on
board), never leave the vehicle with the
engine running and the doors closed.
