PRACTICAL INFORMATION
BATTERY
Procedure for charging your battery
when it is fl at or for starting the engine
using another battery.
Access to the battery Starting using another battery

 Connect the red cable to the posi-
tive terminal (+) of the fl at battery A ,
then to the positive terminal (+) of
the slave battery B .

 Connect one end of the green or
black cable to the negative terminal
(-) of the slave battery B .

 Connect the other end of the green
or black cable to the negative termi-
nal (-) of the fl at battery A .

 Start the slave vehicle.

 Operate the starter of the broken
down vehicle and let the engine run.

 Wait until the engine returns to idle
and disconnect the cables.
The battery is located under the bonnet.
To gain access to it:

 open the bonnet using the interior
release lever, then the exterior safety
catch,

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Do not disconnect the terminals
while the engine is running.
Do not charge the batteries without
disconnecting the terminals fi rst.
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
discarded with household waste.
Take used remote control batteries
and vehicle batteries to a special
collection point.
Charging the battery using a
battery charger

 Disconnect the battery from the
vehicle.

 Follow the instructions for use
provided by the manufacturer of the
charger.

 Reconnect starting with the nega-
tive terminal (-).

 Check that the terminals and con-
nectors are clean. If they are covered
with sulphate (whitish or greenish
deposit), remove them and clean
them.
LOAD REDUCTION MODE
System which manages the use of
certain functions according to the level
of charge remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the
load reduction function temporarily de-
activates certain functions, such as
the air conditioning, the heated rear
screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivat-
ed automatically as soon as conditions
permit.
It is advisable to disconnect the
battery if the vehicle is to be left
unused for more than one month. Before disconnecting the
battery
Wait 2 minutes after switching off
the ignition before disconnecting
the battery.
Close the windows and the doors
before disconnecting the battery.
Following reconnection of the
battery
Following reconnection of the bat-
tery, switch on the ignition and wait
1 minute before starting to permit
initialisation of the electronic sys-
tems. However, if minor problems
persist following this operation,
contact a CITROËN dealer.
Referring to the corresponding
section, you should yourself reini-
tialise:
- the remote control key,
- the GPS satellite navigation
system.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION A fl at battery prevents the engine
from starting (refer to the corre-
sponding paragraph).
If the telephone is being used at
the same time on the MyWay audio
navigation system, it will be inter-
rupted after 10 minutes.
ENERGY ECONOMY MODE
System which manages the period of
use of certain functions to conserve a
suffi cient level of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can
still use functions such as the audio
equipment, windscreen wipers, dipped
beam headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc.
for a maximum combined period of
thirty minutes.
This period may be greatly reduced if
the battery is not fully charged. Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated auto-
matically the next time the vehicle is
driven.

 In order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, start the en-
gine and let it run for a few minutes.
The time available to you will then be dou-
ble the period for which the engine is left
running. However, this period will always
be between fi ve and thirty minutes.
Switching to economy mode
Once this period has elapsed, a mes-
sage appears on the multifunction
screen indicating that the vehicle has
switched to economy mode and the ac-
tive functions are put on standby.
CHANGING A FRONT OR REAR WIPER BLADE
Procedure for replacing a worn wiper
blade with a new one without the use
of tools.
Removal

 Raise the corresponding wiper arm.

 Unclip the wiper blade and remove it.
Fitting

 At the front, check the size of the wiper
blade as the shorter blade is fi tted to
the passenger side of the vehicle.

 Put the corresponding new wiper
blade in place and clip it.

 Fold down the wiper arm carefully.
Before removing a front wiper
blade

 Within one minute after switching off
the ignition, operate the wiper stalk
to position the wiper blades in the
vertical position.
This position must be used in order to avoid
damaging the wiper blade and the bonnet.
After fitting a front wiper blade

 Switch on the ignition.

 Operate the wiper stalk again to
park the wiper blades.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
TOWING THE VEHICLE
Access to the tools Towing your vehicle

 On the front bumper, unclip the cover
by pressing at the top left and pull-
ing at the bottom right of the cover.

 Screw the towing eye in fully.

 Install the towing bar.

 Switch on the hazard warning lamps
on the towed vehicle.

 Place the gear lever in neutral.
 On the rear bumper, unclip the
cover by pressing at the bottom.

 Screw the towing eye in fully.

 Install the towing bar.

 Switch on the hazard warning lamps
on the towed vehicle.
Towing another vehicle
The towing eye is installed under the
boot fl oor.
To gain access to it:

 open the boot,

 remove the movable boot fl oor,

 lift up the boot carpet,

 remove the towing eye from the tool
holder. When towing with all four wheels
on the ground, always use a towing
bar.
When towing with only two wheels
on the ground, always use profes-
sional lifting equipment.
When towing with the engine off,
there is no longer any braking or
steering assistance.
Failure to observe this special con-
dition could result in damage to
certain braking components and
the absence of braking assistance
the next time the engine is started.
Procedure for having your vehicle towed
or for towing another vehicle using a re-
movable towing eye.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
TOWING A TRAILER, A CARAVAN, ETC.
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer. Driving advice
The maximum towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and the
ambient 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 pres-
sures.
Lighting

 Check the electrical lighting and
signalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be de-
activated automatically if a genuine
CITROËN towbar is used.
 If the warning lamp and the

STOP warning lamp come
on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as
soon as possible.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional lighting
and signalling.
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 % 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.
Driving with a trailer subjects the towing
vehicle to more signifi cant stress and its
driver must be particularly careful.
We recommend the use of genuine
CITROËN towbars and their har-
nesses 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.
If the trailer is not fi tted by a
CITROËN dealer, it is imperative
that it is fi tted using the electrical
pre-equipment installed at the rear
of the vehicle, in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.

The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (100 k m/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).
High ambient temperatures may result in a reduction in the pe rformance of the vehicle to protect the engine; if the ambient
temperature is above 37 °C, limit the towed load.
