2019 CITROEN RELAY wheel

• if it is not possible to check the tyre pressures at the time, drive carefully at
reduced speed and go to the nearest
CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always cause visible bulging of the tyre.
Do not rely on just a
visual check.
The alert continues until the tyre or tyres
concerned is reinflated, repaired or
replaced.
Malfunction
The flashing and then fixed
illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by the illumination
of the ser vice warning lamp, and
depending on equipment, the display
of a message indicates a fault with
the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is
not assured. This alert is also displayed when one or
more wheels is not fitted with a
sensor.
Go to a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked or,
following a puncture, to have the original wheel,
equipped with a sensor, refitted with a tyre.
Rear parking sensors,
audible assistance
If your vehicle is so equipped, the system
consists of four proximity sensors, installed in
the rear bumper.
They detect any obstacle: a person, vehicle,
tree, fence, behind the vehicle during the
manoeuvre.
Certain types of object detected at the beginning
of the manoeuvre will no longer be detected at
the end of the manoeuvre if they are located in
the blind spots between and below the sensors. For example, a post, roadworks cone or
pavement bollard.
The rear parking sensor system may be linked
with the reversing camera.
This system cannot in any circumstances
replace the need for vigilance on the part
of the driver.
Take even greater care if you reverse with
the rear doors open.
In bad or wintry weather, ensure that the
sensors are not covered by mud, ice or
snow.
Operation
F Engage reverse gear using the gear lever.
The proximity information is indicated by an
audible signal which becomes more rapid as
the vehicle approaches the obstacle.

Operating fault
If a fault occurs with the system, this
w arning lamp comes on.
Have the system checked by a
CITROËN
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Driving with the suspension set too high
or too low poses a risk of damaging
components under the body.
The height may be adjusted automatically
to take account of changes in temperature
or loading.
You must avoid using this control in the
following circumstances:
-
w

hen working underneath the vehicle,
-
w

hen changing a

wheel,
-

w

hen the vehicle is being transported
by lorry, train, ferry, boat, etc.
To avoid damaging the vehicle or injuring
anyone, check that there is no object or
person that might be close to or come into
contact with the vehicle, before raising or
lowering the suspension.

Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.The snow chains must be fitted only to the
driving wheels. They must never be fitted
to "space-saver" type spare wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force in
your country on the use of snow chains
and the maximum authorised speed.
Installation tips
F If you have to fit the chains during a journey,
stop the vehicle on a flat sur face on the side
of the road.
F

A
pply the parking brake and if necessary
put wheel chocks against the wheels to
prevent your vehicle from sliding.
F

F

provided by the manufacturer.
F

M
ove off gently and drive for a few seconds,
without exceeding 30
mph (50 km/h).
F

S
top your vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow, to avoid
damaging your vehicle's tyres and the
road sur face. If your vehicle is fitted with
alloy wheels, check that no part of the
chain or its fixtures is in contact with the
wheel rim.
It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a
level and dry sur face. Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheels installed on your vehicle:

For more information on the Technical
data of the vehicle and particularly on
weights and towable loads, refer to the
corresponding section.
You will then have information on your vehicle's
ability to tow a
trailer, a caravan, a boat, etc.
We recommend the use of genuine
CITROËN towbars and their harnesses
that have been tested and approved from
the design stage of your vehicle, and
that the fitting of the towbar is entrusted
to a
member of the CITROËN dealer
network.
These genuine towbars are compatible
with the operation of the rear parking
sensors and the reversing camera, if your
vehicle is so equipped.
If the towbar is not fitted by a
CITROËN
dealer, it must still be fitted in accordance
with the vehicle manufacturer's
instructions.Towbar with quickly

Before each use
Check that the towball is correctly locked by
verifying the following points:
-
t
he green mark on the locking wheel is in line
with the green mark on the towball,
-

t
he locking wheel is in contact with the towball,
-

t
he security lock is locked and the key
removed; the locking wheel can no longer be
operated,
-

t
he towball must not be able to move in its
carrier; test by trying to shake it with your hand.
During use
Never release the locking system with
a trailer or load carrier on the towball.
Never exceed the maximum authorised
weight for the vehicle (the Gross Vehicle
Weight – GV W), the trailer, or the sum of
the two (the Gross Train Weight – GTW).
Following use
When travelling without a trailer or load on
a towbar-mounted carrier, the towball must be
removed and the protective plug inserted in
the carrier. This measure applies particularly
where the towball might obscure visibility of the
number plate or its lighting.

and its carrier are kept clean.
Before cleaning the vehicle with a high-
pressure jet wash, the towball must be removed
and the protective plug fitted to the carrier.
Apply the label provided to a


clearly visible

the roof, it is essential to use a
carrying system
(roof bars or roof rack) that is approved for your
vehicle.
Roof bars can only be fitted to a
van, combi
or minibus model of height H1
or H2. On
a
minibus, check for the presence of roof air
conditioning units.
The carrying system must always be secured to
the fitting points provided on the vehicle's roof:
6, 8
or 10, depending on the wheelbase of the
vehicle.
Obser ve the instructions for fitting and use
provided with the carrying system.
