Intelligent Traction Control
System to improve traction on slippery sur faces
(snow, ice, mud, etc.)
This system checks for situations of difficult
sur face grip that could make it difficult to move
off or make progress.
In these situations, Intelligent Traction
Control takes over from the ASR system, by
transferring drive to the wheel with the best grip
on the ground to provide the best traction and
trajectory control.
Switching on
On starting the vehicle, this system is
deactivated.
F

P
ress this button to switch the system on;
the warning lamp in the button comes on.
This system is active up to about 19
mph
(30


km/h).
Once the speed exceeds 19
mph (30 km/h),
the system is deactivated automatically, but the
warning lamp in the button stays on. The system is reactivated automatically
as soon as the speed drops below 19
mph
(30

km/h).
Deactivation
F Press this button to deactivate the system;
the warning lamp in the button goes off and
the ASR system is active again.
Malfunction
If a fault occurs with the intelligent
t raction control, this warning lamp
comes on.
Have it checked by a
CITROËN dealer or by
a


qualified workshop.
Load inertia control
All such variations have an effect on braking,
traction, the behaviour of the vehicle when
cornering and the tendency to overturn.
The true total weight of a

commercial vehicle
can vary considerably depending on the load
carried. As a

result, the centre of gravity of the
vehicle can move, both longitudinally and in
height. Load inertia control estimates the true total
weight of the vehicle by analysing its behaviour
under acceleration and braking.
This system then adapts the operation of the
DSC and ASR systems according to the weight
distribution in the vehicle. In critical situations,
your vehicle therefore remains more securely
on its intended trajectory.
Hill Descent Control
System that provides assistance when
descending on sur faces with poor grip (mud,
gravel, etc.) or on a
steep gradient.
This system reduces the risk of slip or loss of
control of the vehicle while descending a
hill.
It keeps the vehicle at a
steady speed during
a


descent by acting independently and with
varying force on each of the brakes.

When the vehicle is started,
this warning lamp comes on,
accompanied by an increasing
audible signal, if the driver and/or
the front passenger has not fastened
their seat belt. This alert works both for models with an
individual passenger front seat as for models
with a
two-seat front bench seat.
If the driver's seat belt is unfastened,
START mode of Stop & Start will not be
triggered. The engine can then only be
restarted using the key.
Rear seat belts
The rear seats/bench seats are fitted with
three-point seat belts and inertia reels.
The centre seat has a seat belt guide and
inertia reel connected to the seat backrest.
A bracket is provided at each outer seat to
allow the seat belt buckle to be secured when
not in use.

Manoeuvre cautiously, at low
speed
The dimensions of your vehicle differ from
those of a light vehicle, in width, in height, as
well as in length, and some obstacles will be
more difficult to notice.
Manoeuvre slowly.
Before turning, check that there are no
obstacles at mid-height along the sides.
Before reversing, check that there are no
obstacles, particularly at high level behind the
vehicle.
Be aware of the external dimensions, if ladders
are fitted.
Load the vehicle correctly
With a load, the vehicle must remain within the
m aximum authorised weight, the Gross Vehicle
Weight.
To avoid upsetting the balance of the vehicle,
the load should be centred and the heaviest part
placed on the floor in front of the rear wheels.
It is inadvisable to place heavy loads on a
roof
rack.
Loading also implies adherence to the
maximum load of the roof bar anchor points.
Adhere to the maximum permissible weight,
according to CITROËN dealer specifications.
Loads must be securely lashed down.
A load that is not properly secured inside the
vehicle may affect vehicle handling and create
a
risk of accident.
Drive the vehicle in a prudent
a nd efficient way
Take corners gently.
Anticipate the need to brake as the stopping
distance is increased, particularly on wet or icy
roads.
Be aware of the effect of side winds on the
vehicle.
Effective eco-driving saves fuel; accelerate
progressively, anticipate the need to slow down
and adapt your speed to suit the situation.
Indicate changes of direction well in advance
so that you are seen by other road users.
Take care
The tyres must be inflated to at least the
pressures indicated on the label, even over-
inflated by 0.2
to 0.3 bar for long journeys.
In case of towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
d emands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.
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 performance. The maximum
towed load must be reduced by 10% for every
1,000
metres of altitude.
For more information on the Technical
data of your vehicle and particularly on
towable loads, refer to the corresponding
section.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity to wind.
If your vehicle is fitted with a

drop-side back,
the height and width of the load must remain
within the overall dimensions of the vehicle.

Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the
t emperature 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,
stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.
New vehicle
Do not pull a
trailer before having driven at
least 620
miles (1,000 kilometres).
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o 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.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically to avoid the
audible signal if a
genuine CITROËN
towbar is used.
Anti-theft protection
Electronic immobiliser
The keys contain an electronic immobiliser
device.
This device locks the engine supply system.
It activates automatically when the key is
removed from the ignition.
This warning lamp goes off after the
key has been recognised, the ignition is
switched on and the engine can be started.
If the key is not recognised, the engine
cannot be started. Use another key
and have the faulty key checked by
a
CITROËN dealer.
Note the number of the keys carefully; in
case of loss, inter vention by the CITROËN
dealer will be more efficient and quicker
if you present this number and the
confidential card.
When the ignition switch is turned on, a
dialogue is set up between the key and the
electronic immobiliser.
Do not make any modifications to the
electronic immobiliser system.
Operating the remote control, even when it
is in your pocket, may result in involuntary
unlocking of the doors.
The simultaneous use of other high
frequency equipment (mobile telephones,
domestic alarms, etc.), may inter fere
with the operation of the remote control
temporarily.
The remote control does not operate
while the key is in the ignition, even if the
ignition is off, except for reinitialisation.
