Seat belts
Front seat belts
The front seat belts are fitted with a
pretensioning and force limiting system.
This system improves safety in the front
seats in the event of a front or side impact.
Depending on the severity of the impact, the
pretensioning system instantly tightens the seat
belts against the body of the passengers.
The pretensioning seat belts are active when
the ignition is on.
The force limiter reduces the pressure of
the seat belt on the passenger’s chest, thus
improving their protection.

Safety

In case of towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands on the towing vehicle and
requires extra care from the driver.
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.
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. 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.
F

I

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 600
miles (1,000 kilometres).
For more information on Headlamp
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 chip which has
a secret code. When the ignition is switched
on, this code must be recognised in order for
starting to be possible.
A few seconds after switching off the ignition,
this system locks the engine control system,
therefore preventing the engine from being
started in the event of a break-in.
If the system fails, as reported by a message,
the engine will not start.
Contact a CITROËN dealer.
For safety and theft protection reasons,
never leave your electronic key in the
vehicle, even when you are close to it.
It is recommended that you keep it with
you.
