Restore – RES
To restore the vehicle's programmed speed
(for example after pressing the brake or clutch
pedal):The indicator comes on and the
cruise control function is restored.
F
G
o back gradually to the selected speed
and press RES .
Cancelling the programmed
speed
When the vehicle stops, after the ignition is
switched off, the system no longer stores any
speeds.
Malfunction
In the event of a fault, the system is
s witched off and the indicator goes
out.
Have it checked by a
CITROËN dealer or by
a
qualified workshop. Use the cruise control only when traffic
conditions allow you to travel at a
constant
speed for a certain period of time whilst
keeping a sufficiently safe distance from
other vehicles.
Do not activate the cruise control in urban
areas, in heavy traffic, on winding or steep
roads, on slippery or flooded roads, or in
conditions of poor visibility (heavy rain,
fog, falling snow, etc.).
In some circumstances, it may not
be possible to maintain or reach the
programmed speed: towing, vehicle
heavily loaded, steep climb, etc.
The use of mats not approved by
CITROËN may impair the operation of the
cruise control.
To avoid any risk of jamming of the pedals:
-
e
nsure that the mat is positioned
c o r r e c t l y,
-
d
o not fit one mat on top of another.
Lane Departure Warning
System
System which detects the involuntary crossing
of longitudinal traffic lane markings on the
ground (solid or broken line).
The lane departure warning system
cannot, in any circumstances, replace the
need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
A camera fitted at the top centre of the
windscreen monitors the road and detects lane
markings and the position of the vehicle with
respect to them.
With the vehicle running at a
speed higher than
37
mph (60 km/h), it triggers a warning if the
vehicle drifts off line.
This system is particularly useful on motor ways
and main roads.

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:

Towing a trailer
The type-approved towable weights are
entered in your vehicle's registration certificate,
as well as on the manufacturer's plate.

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.

Maintenance
Correct operation is only possible if the towball
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
area, close to the carrier or in the boot.
Go to a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop for any work on the towbar
system.

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.

Bonnet
Opening
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to
avoid the risk of injury related to an
automatic change to START mode.
Inside
This operation must only be carried out with the
vehicle stationary and the driver's door open.
Outside
Do not open the bonnet in very windy
conditions.
When the engine is hot, handle the safety
catch and stay with care (risk of burns).Because of the presence of electrical
equipment under the bonnet, it is
recommended that exposure to water
(rain, washing, etc.) be limited.

Operation
This filter, fitted in the exhaust system,
accumulates particles of soot. The engine
management unit controls the automatic
periodic elimination of the soot particles
(regeneration).
The regeneration procedure is triggered
depending on the amount of particles
accumulated and the vehicle use conditions.
During this phase, you may notice some
unusual phenomena – increased idling speed,
cooling fan running, increase in smoke and
higher exhaust gas temperature – which does
not affect the operation of the vehicle or the
environment.After prolonged idling or driving at very
low speeds, you may occasionally notice
water vapour being emitted from the
exhaust when accelerating. This is of no
consequence to the running of the vehicle
or to the environment. Because of the higher exhaust gas
temperature resulting from the normal
operation of the particle filter, it is
recommended that you do not park the
vehicle over inflammable materials (grass,
dry leaves, pine needles, etc.) so as to
avoid any risk of fire.
Saturation/Regeneration
If there is risk of blockage of the
filter, this warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel.
This alert tells you that the particle filter is
starting to saturate (in conditions of urban
driving of exceptionally long duration: low
speeds, traffic jams, etc.).
To regenerate the filter, it is advised to drive
as soon as possible, when traffic conditions
and the law permit, at a
speed of at least
37
mph (60 km/h), with an engine speed above
2,000
rpm for about fifteen minutes (until the
warning lamp and/or the message disappears).
If possible, avoid switching off the engine
before the end of the filter regeneration;
repeated interruptions could cause premature
deterioration of the engine oil. It is not
recommended to end regeneration of the filter
with the vehicle stationary.
Malfunction
If this alert persists, do not ignore the warning;
it indicates that a fault has occurred in the
exhaust system/particle filter assembly.
Have the whole system checked by a
CITROËN
dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not require any
maintenance (no oil change).
Brake pads
Brake wear depends on the style
of driving, particularly in the case
of vehicles used in town, over short
distances. It may be necessary to
have the condition of the brakes
checked, even between vehicle
services.
If this warning lamp comes on, have
the brake pad wear checked by
a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
