30
minutes, by driving or with the vehicle
stationary, so that the battery reaches an
adequate state of charge.
Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged.
Charging the battery using
a battery charger
For optimum ser vice life of the battery, it is
essential to maintain an adequate state of
charge.
In some circumstances it may be necessary to
charge the battery:
-

I
f you use your vehicle essentially for short
journeys.
-

I
f the vehicle is to be taken off the road for
several weeks.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. If you plan to charge your vehicle's battery
yourself, use only a charger compatible
with lead-acid batteries of a nominal
voltage of 12
V.
Follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the charger.
Never reverse polarities.
It is not necessary to disconnect the
battery.

Never try to charge a frozen battery – risk
of explosion!
If the battery has frozen, have it checked
by a CITROËN dealer or by a qualified
workshop who will check that the internal
components have not been damaged and
that the container has not cracked, which
would mean a risk of toxic and corrosive
acid leaking.
Disconnecting the battery
In order to maintain an adequate state
of charge for starting the engine, it is
recommended that the battery be disconnected
if the vehicle is taken out of ser vice for a long
period.
Before disconnecting the battery:
F
C
lose all accesses (doors, boot, windows).
F

S
witch off all electrical connsumers (audio
system, wipers, lighting, etc.).
F

S
witch off the ignition and wait for four
minutes.
After accessing the battery, you only have to
disconnect the (+) terminal.

minute before starting
the engine, in order to enable the electronic
systems to initialise.
If minor problems nevertheless persist
following this operation, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section, you
must reset certain systems yourself, such as:
-

T
he key with remote control.
-

T
he date and time.
-

T
he preset radio stations.
The Stop & Start system may not be
operational during the trip following the
first engine start.
In this case, the system will only be
available again after a continuous
period of immobilisation of the vehicle,
a period which depends on the exterior
temperature and the state of charge of the
battery (up to about 8
hours).

When changing the setting of treble and bass
the equalizer setting is deselected.
When changing the equalizer setting, the treble

Modify the balance setting or the distribution
setting to obtain the desired sound quality.
There is a difference in sound quality between
the different audio sources. To allow for optimal listening quality, the
audio settings can be tailored to different
sound sources, which can generate audible
differences when changing source.Check that the audio settings are adapted to
the sources listened to. It is recommended
that the audio settings (Bass, Treble, Balance)
be adjusted to the middle position, select the
"None" musical ambience and set the loudness
correction to the "Active" position in CD mode or
to the "Inactive" position in radio mode.
When the engine is off, the system stops after
several minutes of use. When the engine is switched off, the system's
operating time depends on the state of charge
of the battery.
The switch-off is normal, the system
automatically goes into energy economy mode
to maintain an adequate charge in the battery.Turn the ignition on to increase the charge of
the battery.
The date and time cannot be set. Setting of the date and time is only available
if the synchronisation with the satellites is
deactivated.Menu Settings / Options / Setting the Time-

6As a safety measure and because it
requires sustained attention by the
driver, the pairing of a Bluetooth mobile
telephone with the Bluetooth hands-free
system of your audio system must be
done with the vehicle stationary
and the
ignition on.
Your audio system is coded in such a way
that it will only operate in your vehicle.
All work on the system must be
carried out exclusively by a dealer or a
qualified workshop, to avoid any risk of
electrocution, fire or mechanical faults.
To avoid discharging the battery, the audio
system may switch off after a few minutes
if the engine is not running.

The Apple® player is not recognised when
connecting to the USB port. The Apple® player is of a generation that is not
compatible with a USB connection. Connect the Apple® player to the AUX Jack
socket using a suitable cable (not supplied).
The hard disk or peripheral is not recognised
when connecting to the USB port. Some hard disks and devices need a power
supply greater than is provided by the audio
system.Connect the peripheral to the 230
V socket, the
12V socket or an external power supply.
Caution : ensure that the device does not
transmit a voltage greater than 5
V (risk of
destruction of the system).
When streaming, the sound cuts out
m o m e nt a r i l y. Some telephones prioritise connection of the
"hands-free" profile.Delete the "hands-free" connection profile to

The switch-off is normal: the audio system
switches to economy mode and switches off to
prevent discharging the vehicle's battery.Start the vehicle’s engine to increase the
battery charge.
The message "the audio system is overheated"
appears on the display. In order to protect the installation if the
surrounding temperature is too high, the audio
system switches to an automatic thermal
protection mode leading to a reduction of the
volume or stopping of the playing of the CD.Switch the audio system off for a few minutes
to allow the system to cool.
