Risk of electrocution
Xenon bulbs must be replaced by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
You are advised to change both
D1S bulbs at the same time, if one
of them has failed. The headlamps are fi tted with
polycarbonate glass with a
protective coating:
)
do not clean them using a dry
or abrasive cloth, nor with a
detergent or solvent product,
)
use a sponge and soapy water,
)
when using a high pressure
washer on persistent marks, do
not keep the lance directed to-
wards the lamps or their edges
for too long, so as not to dam-
age their protective coating and
seals,
)
do not touch the bulb directly
with your fi ngers, use lint-free
cloths.
Changing a bulb should only be
done after the headlamp has been
switched off for a few minutes (risk
of serious burns).
It is imperative to use only anti-
ultraviolet (UV) type bulbs in order
not to damage the headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a
new bulb with the same type and
specifi cation.

Charging the battery using a
battery charger
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 terminals
while the engine is running.
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, ensur-
ing 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

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
ENERGY ECONOMYMODE
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.
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 en-
gine 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 section).
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.
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 fi ve min-
utes with hands-free kit of your
Audio system,
- it will be maintained for ten minutes
with your eMyWay.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
TOWING A TRAILER
Towbar suitable for the attachment
of a trailer or installation of a bicycle
carrier, 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.
If the towbar is not fi tted by a
CITROËN dealer, it is imperative
that it is fi tted in accordance with
the vehicle manufacturer's instructions.
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
towed load must be reduced by 10 %
for every 1 000 metres of altitude.
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 towed load on a long
incline depends on the gradient and
the ambient temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the
coolant temperature.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the brak-
ing distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes
on a long mountain type of descent,
the use of engine braking is recom-
mended.
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
deactivated automatically if a gen-
uine 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.
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 tting of the
towbar is entrusted to a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Driving with a trailer places great-
er demands on the towing vehicle
and the driver must take particular
care.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section
for details of the weights and towed
loads which apply to your vehicle.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Matt paint
If you vehicle is fi nished with a clear
matt lacquer, please observe the fol-
lowing recommendations to avoid
damaging the paintwork by the use
of an inappropriate cleaning proce-
dures.
These recommendations are also
valid for alloy road wheels fi nished
with clear matt lacquer.
Never clean the vehicle without water.
Never wash your vehicle in an automatic roller brush car wash.
Never polish the vehicle body, nor the alloy wheels. Doing this will make the
paintwork shiny.
Do not use paint cleaners, abrasive products or paint polishing or preserving
products (such as wax, for example) on the paintwork. These products are
only suitable for bright fi nishes. Application of these products on vehicles with
a matt fi nish will seriously damage the paint surface of the vehicle, giving rise
to irreversible shiny or stained areas.
Never use a high pressure jet wash with a lance fi tted with a brush, this may
scratch the paintwork.
Never select a wash programme that fi nishes with a hot wax cycle.
We recommend the use of a high pressure jet wash, or at least a water hose
with a high output.
We recommend that the vehicle be rinsed using de-ionised water.
Use only a microfi bre cloth to dry the vehicle. It must be clean and used
without heavy pressure.
Lightly wipe off any fuel stains present on the bodywork using a soft cloth,
then leave to dry.
From the range of cleaning and maintenance products in the "TECHNATURE"
range recommended and approved by CITROËN, use only the insect remover
and car shampoo, which are the only products to be used on the bodywork.
The insect remover can also be used to remove minor marks (for example:
fi nger marks...).
Always have paint repairs done by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
