Practical information











Battery
Procedure for charging your battery when it is flat or for starting the engine using another battery.
The battery is located under the bonnet.To gain access to it:
)
open the bonnet using the interior releaselever, then the exterior safety catch,)
secure the bonnet stay, )
lift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal.


Access to the battery
)
Connect the red cable to the positive
terminal (+) of the flat battery A, then to the
positive terminal (+) of the slave battery B.

Starting using another
batter
y
After refitting the battery by a CITROËN dealer or a qualifiedworkshop, the Stop & Star t system will only be active after a continuousperiod of immobilisation of the vehicle,a period which depends on the climaticconditions and the state of charge of
the battery (up to about 8 hours).
The presence of this label, in particular with the Stop & Start system, indicatesthe use of a 12 V lead-acid battery withspecial technology and specification;
the involvement of a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop is essential when replacing or disconnectingthe battery.
Failure to observe this recommendation may cause premature wear of the battery.
)
Connect one end of the green or blackcable to the negative terminal (-) of the slave battery B
. )
Connect the other end of the green or black cable to the remote negative terminal (-) of your vehicle.

)Start the slave vehicle.)Operate the star ter of the broken down
vehicle and let the engine run.)Wait until the engine returns to idle anddisconnect the cables.

Charging the battery using
a battery charger

Batteries contain harmful substancessuch as sulphuric acid and lead. Theymust be disposed of in accordancewith regulations and must not, in anycircumstances, be discarded with household waste. Ta k e used remote control batteries andvehicle batteries to a special collectionpoint.
)
Follow the instructions for use provided bythe manufacturer of the charger.
Do not disconnect the battery to charge it.
Do not push the vehicle to star tthe engine if your vehicle is fitted with an electronic gearbox.

227Practical information








Energy economy mode System which manages the period of use of cer tain functions to conser ve a sufficient 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, cour tesylamps, etc. for a maximum combined period of thirty minutes.
This period may be greatly reduced if the battery is not fully charged.

A flat battery prevents the engine from starting (refer to the correspondingparagraph).
If the telephone is being used at the same time on the MyWay audionavigation system, it will be interrupted after 10 minutes.
Switching to economy mode
Once this period has elapsed, a message
appears on the multifunction screen indicating
that the vehicle has switched to economy mode and the active functions are put on standby.

Exiting economy mode

These functions are reactivated automatically
t
he next time the vehicle is driven. ) In order to resume the use of thesefunctions immediately, star t the engine and
let it run for a few minutes.
The time available to you will then be double
the period
for which the engine is left running. However, this period will always be between five and thir ty minutes.

Changing a front or rear wiper blade
Procedure for replacing a worn wiper blade with a new one without the use of tools.


Before removing a front
wi
per blade
) Within one minute after switching off the
ignition, operate the wiper stalk to position
the wi
per blades in the ver tical position.
This position must be used in order to avoid
dama
ging the wiper blade and the bonnet.


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 fitted to thepassenger side of the vehicle. )Put the corresponding new wiper blade inplace and clip it. )Fold down the wiper arm carefully.



After fitting a front wiper
blade
)Switch on the ignition.)Operate the wiper stalk again to park the
wiper blades.








Load reduction mode System which manages the use of certainfunctions according to the level of chargeremaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the loadreduction function temporarily deactivates cer tain functions, such as the air conditioning,
the heated rear screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivated automatically as soon as conditions permit.
