Your vehicle’s electrical sys-
tem is designed to operate
with either standard or op-
tional equipment.
Before installing electrical equip-
ment or accessories on your vehi-
cle, consult a CITROËN dealer.
CITROËN declines all responsi-
bility for the consequences and
costs that are caused by faults or
repairs on your vehicle resulting
from the installation of accessories
that are not supplied and/or not
recommended by CITROËN and
not installed in conformity with its
requirements, particularly when
the total consumption of additional
devices exceeds 10 milliamperes.
The Maxi fuses give additional pro-
tection to electrical systems. Any
work on them must be carried out
by a CITROËN dealer.

After a repair, carefully refi t the
cover.

If the cover is not correctly po-
sitioned or not properly closed,
this could cause serious prob-
lems on your vehicle. For the
same reason, take care not to
spill any liquid in the fusebox.

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
connectors are clean. If they are
covered with sulphate (whitish or
greenish deposit), remove them
and clean them.
The batteries contain harmful
substances 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 an autho-
rised collection point.
It is advisable to disconnect the
battery if the vehicle is to be left un-
used for more than one month. Do not disconnect the termi-
nals while the engine is run-
ning.
Do not charge the batteries without
disconnecting the terminals fi rst.
Do not touch the clips during the
operation.
Do not lean over the batteries.
Disconnect the cables in the re-
verse order to connection, ensuring
that they do not touch.
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 slight malfunctions
remain following this operation, con-
tact a CITROËN dealer.
Referring to the corresponding sec-
tion, you must yourself reinitialise:
- the remote control key,
- the glass panoramic roof blind,
- the GPS satellite navigation
system.

ENERGY ECONOMY MODE
System which manages the duration
of use of certain functions to con-
serve a suffi cient level of charge in
the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can
still use functions such as the audio
and telematics system, windscreen
wipers, dipped headlamps, courtesy
lights, etc. for a maximum combined
duration of thirty minutes.
Switching to economy mode
Once the thirty minutes are over, a
message appears on the multi-function
screen indicating that the vehicle has
switched to economy mode and the
active functions are put on standby.
If the telephone is being used at this
time:
- it will be maintained for 5 minutes with radio-CD hands-free kit,
-
it will be interrupted after 10 minutes
with the MyWay audio-navigation
system,
- you can complete your call with the NaviDrive system.
This period may be signifi cantly re-
duced if the battery charge is low. Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated auto-matically next time the vehicle is
driven.

 In order to resume the use of
these functions immediately,
start the engine and let it run for
a few minutes.
The time available will then be dou-
ble the duration for which the engine
was left running. However, this time
will always be between fi ve and thirty
minutes.
A fl at battery prevents the en-
gine from starting (refer to the
corresponding paragraph).

TOWING THE VEHICLE
Procedure for having your vehicle
towed or for towing another vehicle
using a removable towing eye.
Access to the tools
The towing eye is installed in the
jack box placed in the spare wheel.
For access to it:

 open the boot,

 raise the fl oor,

 remove the towing eye from the
jack box. Towing your vehicle

 On the front bumper, unclip the
cover by pressing at the top.

 Screw the towing eye in fully.

 Attach the towing bar.

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

 Place the gear lever in neutral
(position N on the automatic
gearbox). Towing another vehicle

 On the rear bumper, unclip the
cover by pressing:
- on the right (Saloon),
- at the bottom (Tourer).

 Screw the towing eye in fully.

 Attach the towing bar.

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

TOWING A TRAILER, A CARAVAN, ETC.
Towbar suitable for the attachment
of a trailer or caravan with additional
lighting and signalling.
Your vehicle is primarily designed
for transporting people and luggage,
but it may also be used for towing a
trailer.
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 impera-
tive that it is fi tted using the
electrical pre-equipment installed
at the rear of the vehicle, in accor-
dance with the manufacturer's in-
structions.
Driving with a trailer subjects the
towing vehicle to more signifi cant
stress and its driver must be par-
ticularly careful.
Driving advice
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 ex-
ceeding 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.
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, re-
duce your speed.
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.

 If the warning lamp and
the STOP warning lamp
come on, stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the brak-
ing distance.
Tyres

 Check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended
pressures.
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.
