ventilated area.
)
Remove the top-up caps and top up
the level with distilled water if nec-
essary.
)
Connect the battery to the charger
observing the instructions for use
provided by the manufacturer and
start charging.
)
Disconnect the battery from the
charger and let it to cool.
)
If necessary, top up the level with
distilled water.
)
Clean the top of the battery care-
fully.
)
Put the top-up caps back in place.
)
Check that the terminals and connec-
tors are clean. If they are covered with
sulphate (whitish or greenish deposit),
remove them and clean them.
)
Reconnect the battery starting with
the positive terminal (+).
Do not charge the batteries with-
out disconnecting the terminals
fi rst.
Avoid prolonged contact of the
electrolyte with the skin.
Most of these fl uids are harmful to
health and very corrosive. Do not disconnect the terminals while
the engine is running. The batteries contain harmful sub-
stances such as sulphuric acid
and lead. They must be disposed
of in accordance with regulations and
must not, in any circumstances, be dis-
carded with household waste.
Take used remote control batteries
and vehicle batteries to a special col-
lection point.
It is advisable to disconnect the bat-
tery if the vehicle is to be left unused
for more than one month. When charging the battery, it is normal
to observe an increase in temperature
and bubbling of the electrolyte.
Following reconnection of the
battery
Following reconnection of the battery,
switch on the ignition and wait 1 minute
before starting to permit initialisation
of the electronic systems. However, if
slight diffi culties are encountered follow-
ing this operation, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section,
you must yourself reinitialise:
- the one-touch electric windows,
- the sunroof,
- the satellite navigation system.
Before disconnecting the battery
Wait 2 minutes after switching off the ig-
nition before disconnecting the battery.
Close the windows, the sunroof, the
doors and the tailgate before discon-
necting the battery.

Towing another vehicle
)
On the rear bumper, remove the
cover by pulling at the bottom using
the jack handle 2
.
)
Screw in the towing eye fully using
the wheelbrace 3
.
)
Install the towbar.
)
Switch on the hazard warning lamps
on the towed vehicle.
When being towed with the en-
gine off, there is no longer any
braking or steering assistance.
General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in your country.
Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle is higher than that of the towed
vehicle.
The driver must stay at the wheel of the towed vehicle.
Driving on motorways and fast roads is prohibited when towing.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, always use an ap-
proved towing bar; rope and straps are prohibited.
When towing a vehicle with the engine off, there is no longer any power assis-
tance for braking or steering.
In the following cases, you must always call on a professional recovery service:
- vehicle broken down on a motorway or fast road,
- when it is not possible to put the gearbox into neutral, unlock the steering,
or release the parking brake,
- towing with only two wheels on the ground,
- where there is no approved towing bar available...

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, ETC.
Drivin
g advice
The maximum towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and the
outside temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.
Side wind
)
Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side 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.
)
To lower the engine speed, reduce
your speed.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
Tyres
)
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
)
Check the lighting and signalling on
the trailer.
)
If this message is dis-
played, stop your ve-
hicle as soon as it is
safe to do so.
If the message fl ashes slowly, wait for
the engine to cool before topping up the
level, if necessary.
If the message fl ashes rapidly, contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop without delay.
Opening of the lower tailgate is
prohibited if a towbar is being
used.
We recommend the use of gen-
uine CITROËN towbars and
their harnesses that have been
tested and approved from the design
stage of your vehicle and that the fi t-
ting of the towbar is entrusted to a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-
shop.
If the towbar is not fi tted by a
CITROËN dealer, it is imperative
that it is fi tted using the electrical pre-
equipment located at the rear of the
vehicle and in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
Driving with a trailer subjects the
towing vehicle to more signifi cant
stress and its driver must be particu-
larly careful.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer.
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 towing
load must be reduced by 10 % of the
GTW and so on for every 1 000 metres
of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for
details of the weights and towing loads
which apply to your vehicle.

WEIGHTS AND TOWED LOADS (IN KG)
* The kerb weight is equal to the weight without load + driver (75 kg).
** The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
*** The braked trailer value corresponds to the towing capacities of the vehicle on a 12 % gradient.
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the performance of the vehicle in order to protect the engine; reduce
the towed weight by 450 kg when your altitude increases by 1 000 m.

AUDIO and TELEMATICS
CD player
Your Audio-Telematic system allows
you to listen to audio CDs (CDDA, CD-
Text, CD-R/RW) or MP3 and WMA CDs.
Playing an audio CD Switching off the engine or removing
the CD during recording will result in the
tracks being faulty.
The operation of the navigation system
may slow down during recording.
The recording speed may be slower
than 4x due to the processing load on
the equipment or the condition of the
audio CD.
If jumps or other errors occur, return to
the beginning of the track and start the
recording again.
Even if there is no gap between the
tracks on the CD, a brief silence be-
tween tracks is stored on the hard disk.
What is the Gracenote CDDB?
Copyright
Your Audio equipment may allow you
to listen to music which is usually pro-
tected by copyright in accordance with
current national and international stan-
dards. Please consult these standards
and comply with them.
Recording onto the music server
When the audio CD is
inserted in the player,
playing of the tracks is
automatic and they can
be recorded onto the
hard disk.
Simultaneous access to the music rec-
ognition service "Gracenote CDDB" on
the hard disk permits display of the title
information.
The tracks of audio CDs (not
MP3/WMA) can be recorded
onto the hard disk at approximately
4x speed (e.g.: 60 minutes converted
to 15 minutes) and stored on the music
server.
The sounds recorded may be altered
by the noise present and the quality of
the sound may differ from the original.
The tracks recorded on the music server
cannot be reproduced on another me-
dium (CD-R/RW, HDD, etc...).
