The GTW and towed load values indicated apply up to a maximum altitude of 1 000 metres; the towed load mentioned must be reduced by 10 % for
each additional 1 000 metres of altitude.
The maximum authorised speed is reduced when towing (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High exterior temperatures may result in a reduction in the performance of the vehicle in order to protect the engine; when the exterior temperature is
higher than 37 °C, limit the weight towed.

* The weight of the braked trailer can be increased, within the GTW limit, on condition that the GVW of the towing vehicle is reduced by the same

amount; warning, towing with a lightly loaded towing vehicle may have an adverse effect on its road holding.

-  EU type approval number.
-  Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
-  Gross vehicle weight (GVW).

The original tyres fitted to the vehicle
may have a load index or speed rating
higher than those given on the label;
this has no effect on the inflation
pressures.

Emergency or assistance call

Localised Emergency Call

In an emergency, press this
button for more than 2 seconds.

The green indicator lamp remains on (without
flashing) when communication is established.
It goes off at the end of the call.

Localised Emergency Call immediately locates
your vehicle, makes contact with you in your
language** and - if necessary - organises
sending of the appropriate emergency
services**. In countries where the service is not
operational, or if the locating service has been
expressly declined, the call is directed straight
to the emergency services (112) without
location.

** Depending on the geographic cover for

"Localised Emergency Call", "Localised
Assistance Call" and the official national
language selected by the owner of the
vehicle.

The list of countries covered by Telematic
services is available at dealers or
at www.citroen.co.uk.

* Depending on the terms and conditions for

the service, available from dealers, and
technological and technical limits.

If an impact is detected by the airbag
control unit, and independently of
the deployment of any airbags, an
emergency call is made automatically.

If you benefit from the CITROËN
Connect Box offer with the SOS and
assistance pack included, there are
additional services available to you in
your MyCITROËN personal space, via
the Internet website for your country.

2 seconds to request assistance
if the vehicle breaks down.
A voice message confirms that
the call has been made**.

Pressing this button again immediately cancels
the request.
The cancellation is confirmed by a voice

calls service may not work.
Contact a qualified repairer as soon as
possible.

Operation of the system

When the ignition is switched on,
the green indicator lamp comes
on for 3 seconds indicating that
the system is operating correctly.

If the orange indicator lamp
flashes then goes off: the system
has a fault.

If you purchased your vehicle outside
the CITROËN dealer network, we
suggest that you have a dealer check
and, if desired, modify the configuration
of these services.
In a multi-lingual country, configuration
is possible in the official national
language of your choice.

For technical reasons, particularly
to improve the quality of Telematic
services to customers, the
manufacturer reserves the right to
carry out updates to the vehicle's
on-board telematic system.

"Localised Emergency Call", "Localised
Assistance Call" and the official national
language selected by the owner of the
