Safety

127
In case of towing
Driving with a trailer places greater
d emands 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
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.

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
approximately 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
adjustment , refer to the corresponding
section.
Certain driving or manoeuvring aid
functions are automatically disabled if an
approved towing system 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.
This electronic engine immobiliser locks the
engine management system a
few moments
after the ignition is switched off, and prevents
starting of the engine by anyone who does not
have the key.
In the event of a
malfunction, you are informed
by a
message in the instrument panel screen.
If this happens, your vehicle will not start;
contact a
CITROËN dealer if required.

pedals at the same time. Braking or
accelerating must be done with the
right foot only. Pressing the two pedals
simultaneously risks damaging the
gearbox.

engine is running at idle, with the brakes
released, the vehicle moves even without
the accelerator being pressed.

In sequential mode, it is not necessary to
release the accelerator pedal when changing
g e a r.
Changing from one gear to another only
occurs if the vehicle speed and engine speed
conditions allow; other wise the gearbox will
operate temporarily in automatic mode.
If the engine speed is too low or too high, the
gear selected flashes for a few seconds, then
the gear actually engaged is displayed.
Invalid value during manual operation
This symbol is displayed if a gear
is not engaged correctly (selector
between two positions).
You can change mode at any time by
moving the gear selector from D to M or
vice versa.

Whatever the parking circumstances, you must
apply the parking brake manually to immobilise
the vehicle if automatic operation has been
deactivated.
In all circumstances, ensure that the
selector is in position P before leaving
your vehicle.
Before switching off the engine, you can
engage position P or N to place the gearbox
in neutral. In both cases, apply the parking
brake to immobilise the vehicle, unless it is
programmed to automatic mode.
If the lever is not in position P , when the driver's In the event of a
battery failure, use the
chock to immobilise your vehicle.
Operating fault
If the gearbox malfunctions, the
Ser vice warning lamp comes on in
the instrument panel, accompanied
by a
message and an audible signal. Do not exceed 62
mph (100 km/h), local speed
restrictions permitting.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or
a

qualified workshop.
In this case, the gearbox switches to back-up
mode and is locked in 3rd gear. You may then
feel a

substantial jolt when changing from P to
R and from N to R . This jolt will not cause any
damage to the gearbox.
Gear efficiency indicator
This system reduces fuel consumption by
recommending the most appropriate gear.
Operation
Depending on the driving situation and your
vehicle's equipment, the system may advise
you to skip one (or more) gear(s). You can
follow this instruction without engaging the
intermediate gears.
Gear efficiency recommendations are for
information only. In fact, the road layout, the
traffic density and safety remain the deciding
factors when choosing the best gear. The driver
therefore remains responsible for deciding
whether or not to follow the indications issued
by the system.
This function cannot be deactivated.
With an automatic gearbox, the system is
only active in manual mode.

Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop.
If a
fault occurs in STOP mode, the engine may
stall.
All of the instrument panel warning lamps come
on.
Depending on version, an alert message may also
be displayed, asking you to place the gear lever in
position N and press the brake pedal.
It is then necessary to switch off the ignition and
start the engine again using the "START/STOP"
button.
The Stop & Start requires the use of
a 12 V battery of special specification and
technology.
All work on this type of battery must be
carried out only by a
CITROËN dealer or
a


qualified workshop.
For more information on the 12
V batter y,
refer to the corresponding section.
Opening the bonnet
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. Driving on flooded roads
Before driving in a
flooded area, it is
strongly recommended that you deactivate
the Stop & Start system.
For more information on Driving advice ,
particularly on flooded roads, refer to the
corresponding section.
Tyre under-inflation
detection
System which automatically checks the
pressures of the tyres while driving.
The system monitors the pressure of the four
tyres when the vehicle is moving.
It compares the information given by the
wheel speed sensors with reference values,
which must be reinitialised after ever y tyre
pressure adjustment or wheel change .
The system triggers an alert as soon as it
detects a
drop in the pressure of one or more
tyres. The under-inflation detection system does
not replace the need for vigilance on the
part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to
check the tyre pressures (including the
spare wheel) every month as well as
before a


long journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres worsens
road-holding, lengthens braking distances,
causes premature wear of the tyres,
particularly in adverse conditions (heavy
loads, high speeds, long journeys).
Driving with under-inflated tyres
increases fuel consumption.
The inflation pressures defined for your
vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure
label.
For more information on the
Identification markings , refer to the
corresponding section.

Memorising speeds
This function allows speeds to be saved, which
can then be offered to set the two systems: the
speed limiter (to limit the speed of the vehicle)
or the cruise control (for a vehicle cruising
speed).
You can memorise up to six speed settings
for each of the two systems. By default, some
speed settings are already memorised.

menu of the touch screen.

memorise new speed settings.
Speed Limit recognition
and recommendation
This system allows the speed limit detected by
the camera to be displayed in the instrument
panel.
The system also processes speed limit
information from the navigation system
mapping.
You should update your navigation
mapping regularly in order to receive
accurate speed limit information from the
system.
Specific speed limits, such as those for heavy
goods vehicles, are not displayed.
The display of the speed limit in the instrument
panel is updated as you pass a
speed limit sign
intended for cars (light vehicles).

Speed limiter "LIMIT"
System which prevents the
vehicle from exceeding the speed
programmed by the driver.
Once the programmed speed limit is reached,
additional pressure on the accelerator pedal
has no effect.
Operation of the speed limiter requires
a

programmed speed of at least 19 mph
(30


km/h).
The speed limiter is paused using the control.
The programmed speed can be exceeded
temporarily by pressing the accelerator firmly
beyond the point of resistance.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal until the set
speed limit has been reached again.
The programmed speed remains in the system
memory when the ignition is switched off.
The speed limiter cannot, in any circumstances,
replace the need to obser ve speed limits, nor can it
replace the need for vigilance on the part of the driver.
