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.

Engine technical data and
towed loads
Engines
The engine technical data are indicated in the
vehicle's registration document, as well as in
sales brochures.The maximum power corresponds to the
value type-approved on a test bed, under
conditions defined in European legislation
(Directive 1999/99/EC).
For more information, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Weights and towed loads
The maximum weights and towed loads for
your vehicle are indicated in the registration
document, as well as in sales brochures.
These values are also indicated on the
manufacturer's plate or label.
For more information, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop. The GTW values and the towed loads listed are
valid for a maximum altitude of 1,000
metres.
The towed load must be reduced by steps of
10% for each additional 1,000 metres.
The recommended nose weight is the vertical
load on the towbar ball (removable, with or
without tools).
GT W: Gross train weight.
High exterior temperatures may result
in a reduction in the per formance of the
vehicle to protect the engine. When the
exterior temperature is higher than 37°C,
limit the towed weight.
Towing using a lightly loaded vehicle can
adversely affect roadholding.
Braking distances are increased when
towing a trailer.
When using a vehicle to tow, never exceed
a speed of 60 mph (100 km/h) (obser ve
the local legislation in force). If the exterior temperature is high, it is
recommended that the engine be allowed
to idle for 1
to 2 minutes after the vehicle
comes to a stop, to facilitate its cooling.

Navigation
QUESTIONRESPONSE SOLUTION
The route calculation is not
successful. The guidance criteria may be in conflict with the current
location (exclusion of toll roads on a toll road). Check the route settings in the "Navigation" menu.
The POIs do not appear. The POIs have not been selected. Select the POIs in the list of POIs.
The audible warning of "Danger
zones" does not work. The audible warning is not active or the volume is too
low. Activate the audible warning in the "Navigation" menu
and check the voice volume in the audio settings.
The system does not suggest
a detour around an incident on
the route. The guidance criteria do not take account of TMC
messages.
Select the setting for the "Traffic info " function in the list
of route settings (Without, Manual or Automatic).
I receive a "Danger zone" alert
which is not on my route. When guidance is not active, the system announces all
"Danger zones" positioned in a cone located in front of
the vehicle. It may provide an alert for "Danger zones"
located on nearby or parallel roads. Zoom in on the map to see the exact position of the
"Danger zone". Select "On the route" to no longer
receive alerts except during guidance or to reduce the
time for the announcement.
Certain traffic jams along the
route are not indicated in real
time. On starting, it is several minutes before the system
begins to receive the traffic information.
Wait until the traffic information is being received correctly
(display of the traffic information icons on the map).
In certain countries, only major routes (motor ways, etc.)
are listed for the traffic information. This is per fectly normal. The system is dependent on
the traffic information available.
The altitude is not displayed. On starting, the initialisation of the GPS may take up to 3
minutes to receive more than 4 satellites correctly.Wait until the system has started up completely so that
there is GPS coverage by at least 4
satellites.
Depending on the geographical environment (tunnel,
etc.) or the weather, the conditions of reception of the
GPS signal may vary. This behaviour is normal. The system is dependent on
the GPS signal reception conditions.
My navigation is no longer
connected. On starting and in certain geographical areas, the
connection may be unavailable. Check that the connected ser vices are activated
(settings, contract).

Radio
QUESTIONRESPONSESOLUTION
The reception quality of the tuned radio station
gradually deteriorates or the stored stations are
not working (no sound, 87.5
MHz is displayed,
e t c .) . The vehicle is too far from the transmitter of
the station or no transmitter is present in the
geographical area.
Activate the "RDS" function by means of the
short-cut menu to enable the system to check
whether there is a more power ful transmitter in
the geographical area.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels,
basement car parks, etc.) is blocking reception,
including in RDS mode. This phenomenon is normal and does not
indicate a failure of the audio equipment.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for
example when going through a car wash or into
an underground car park). Have the aerial checked by a dealer.
I cannot find some radio stations in the list of
stations received.
The name of the radio station changes. The station is not received or has changed its
name in the list.
Some radio stations send other information
in place of their name (the title of the song for
example).
The system interprets these details as the
station name.Press on the "Update list" button in the "Radio
stations" secondary menu.
