271Practical information

Charging the battery using
a battery charger

If the battery of your vehicle is flat or prior
to taking the vehicle out of ser vice for an extended period, you can charge the battery
using a battery charger.
For information on the specification of batterychargers compatible with your battery, refer to
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

The Stop & Start battery does not haveto be disconnected for charging.


Reinitialisation after
reconnection
After any reconnection of the battery, switch on
the ignition and wait at least one minute before
starting, to allow time for the initialisation of theelectronic systems.
By referring to the corresponding sections, you should set or initialise the following systems yourself:


- one-touch electric windows,

- time and date,

- audio and navigation system settings.

It is recommended that the battery be disconnected if the vehicle is not be used for more than a month.

Check that no aler t message or warning lamp comes on after switching on the ignition.
However, if minor problems persist after carrying out these operations, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.



Before disconnecting
)Go to the battery. )Check that all of the openings - doors, boot... - are closed but not locked.)Wait at least four minutes after switchingoff the ignition.
Charging
)
Disconnect the (+)terminal. )
Follow the instructions on use provided by
the manufacturer of the charger.) Connect the red cable of the charger to the (+) post of the battery, then the black cable
to the (-) terminal.) Once charging is complete, disconnect thecharger cables in reverse order.
The charging operation must be carried outin a well ventilated area and well away from naked flames and sources of sparks, so as to avoid any risk of explosion and fire. Do not try to charge a frozen battery; the
battery must first be thawed out to avoid any risk of explosion. If the battery hasfrozen, before charging, have it checkedby a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop, who will ensure that the internal components have not been damaged and that the casing is not cracked, which wouldintroduce the risk of a leak of toxic and corrosive acid.

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, courtesy lamps, 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 corresponding paragraph).
If the telephone is being used at the same time on the navigation system, it will be interrupted after 10 minutes.


Switching to economy mode

Once this period has elapsed, a message
appears in the screen indicating that the vehiclehas switched to economy mode and the activefunctions are put on standby.

Exiting economy mode

These functions are reactivated automaticallythe next time the vehicle is driven. )In order to resume the use of these functions 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.








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 load
reduction function temporarily deactivates cer tain functions, such as the air conditioning,
th
e heated rear screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivated automatically as soon as conditions permit.

QUESTIONANSWERSOLUTION
A telephone connects
automatically, disconnecting another
telephone. A
utomatic connection overrides manual connection. Modify the telephone settings to remove automatic connection.

The Apple ®
player is®
not recognised whenconnecting to the USB port.
The Apple ®player is of a generation that is not compatible with the USB. Connect the Apple ®player to the AUX Jack socket using a suitable cable (not supplied).

The hard disk or deviceis not recognised whenconnecting to the USBport. Some hard disks and devices need a power suppl
y greater than is
provided by the audio system. Connect the device to the 230 V socket, the 12 V socket or an external power supply.
Caution
:
ensure that the device does not transmit
a voltage greater than 5 V (risk of destruction of
the system).
When streamin
g, the sound cuts momentarily. Some telephones prioritise connection of the "hands-free" profi le. Delete the "hands-free" connection profi le to
improve streaming.

In "Random all" play,not all of the tracks areplayed.
In "Random all" play, the system can only take into account up to 999 tracks.
With the en
gine off, the
audio system switches off after a few minutes of use. When the en
gine is switched off, the audio system operating time
depends on the battery charge.
The switch-off is normal: the audio s
ystem switches to economy mode and switches off to prevent discharging the vehicle's battery.
Start the vehicle's engine to increase the batterycharge.

The message "the audio system is overheated"
appears on the display. In order to protect the installation if the surrounding temperature is toohigh, the audio system switches to an automatic thermal protection mode leading to a reduction of the volume or stopping of the playing of the CD.
Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to
allow the system to cool.
