12 V socket

The auxiliary socket is located in the central
storage box.
It permits the connection of a portable device,
such as a digital audio player of the iPod

type,

to listen to your music files using the vehicle's
speakers.
The management of the files is done using your
portable device.

The USB port is located in the central storage
compartment.
It allows the connection of a portable device or
a USB memory stick.
It plays the audio files transmitted to your audio
system and heard via the vehicle's speakers.
You can manage these files using the steering
mounted or touch screen controls.

Driving

C4-Picasso-II_en_Chap04_conduite_ed02-2016

Driving recommendations

Observe the driving regulations and remain
vigilant whatever the traffic conditions.
Pay close attention to the traffic and keep your
hands on the wheel so that you are ready to
react at any time to any eventuality.
On a long journey, a break every two hours is
strongly recommended.
In difficult weather, drive smoothly, anticipate
the need to brake and increase the distance
from other vehicles.

Driving on flooded roads

We strongly advise against driving on flooded
roads, as this could cause serious damage
to the engine or gearbox, as well as to the
electrical systems of your vehicle.

If you are obliged to drive through water:

- check that the depth of water does not

exceed 15 cm, taking account of waves
that might be generated by other users,

- deactivate the Stop & Start system,
- drive as slowly as possible without

stalling. In all cases, do not exceed 6 mph
(10 km/h),

- do not stop and do not switch off the

engine.

On leaving the flooded road, as soon as
circumstances allow, make several light brake
applications to dry the brake discs and pads.
If in doubt on the state of your vehicle, contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Important!

Never drive with the parking brake
applied - Risk of overheating and
damage to the braking system!
Risk of fire!
As the exhaust system of your vehicle
is very hot, even several minutes after
switching off the engine, do not park
or run the engine over areas where
inflammable substances and materials
are present: grass, leaves, etc.

Never leave a vehicle unsupervised
with the engine running. If you have
to leave your vehicle with the engine
running, apply the parking brake
and put the gearbox into neutral or
position N or P

, depending on the type

of gearbox.

Driving

When towing

Distribution of loads

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. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towed load must
be reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.

Side wind

Take into account the increased sensitivity

to side wind.

For more information on Weights, 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.

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

To lower the engine speed, reduce your

speed.

The maximum towed load on a long incline
depends on the gradient and the ambient
temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.

If the warning lamp and the

STOP

warning lamp come on,

stop the vehicle and switch off
the engine as soon as possible.

Braking

Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes, the use of
engine braking is recommended.

Tyres

Check the tyre pressures of the towing

vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.

Lighting

Check the electrical lighting and signalling

on the trailer and the headlamp beam
height of your vehicle.

For more information on Adjusting the
headlamp beam height, refer to the
corresponding section.
