Maintenance
Before doing anything under the bonnet,
deactivate the Stop & Start system to
avoid any risk of injury resulting from an
automatic change to START mode.
The Stop & Start system makes use of
an advanced technology. All work on
this type of battery must be carried out
only by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or by
a qualified workshop.
In the event of a
malfunction in STOP mode, it is
possible to restart the engine by depressing the clutch
pedal fully or by putting the gear lever into neutral.
This system requires a specific battery
w ith a special specification and technology
(reference numbers available from a
CITROËN
dealer or a
qualified workshop).
Fitting a
battery not approved by CITROËN
introduces the risk of malfunction of the
system.
For more information on the Battery , refer to
the corresponding section.
Hill start assist
System which keeps your vehicle stationary
for a short time (approximately 2 seconds)
when starting on a
gradient, the time it takes
to move your foot from the brake pedal to the
accelerator pedal.
This system (also called HHC – Hill Holder
Control), integrated with the dynamic stability
control system, is activated in the following
conditions:
-

t
he vehicle must be stationary, engine
running, foot on the brake,

from a CITROËN dealer or refer to the
manufacturer's service schedule included
in the handbook pack.
Battery
The battery does not require any
maintenance.
However, check regularly that the
terminals are correctly tightened
(models without quick release
terminals) and that the connections
are clean. Models equipped with Stop & Start are
fitted with a
12 V lead-acid battery of
specific technology and specification.
Its replacement should be carried out
only by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Filter, air
At the start of winter, have your battery checked
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
For best quality cleaning and to prevent
freezing, this fluid must not be topped up or
replaced with plain water.
In wintry conditions, the use of an alcohol or
methanol based fluid is recommended.
Refer to the manufacturer's
ser vice schedule for details of

one month.
The description of the battery charging
procedure is given as an indication only.
If the battery has been disconnected for some
time, it may be necessary to reinitialise the
following functions:
-

t

he display parameters (date, time,
language, units of distance and
temperature),
-
r

adio stations,
-

c

entral locking.
Some settings are cleared and must be
reprogrammed; consult a


CITROËN dealer.
If your vehicle is fitted with a

tachograph or an
alarm, disconnection of the negative (-) terminal
of the battery (located under the floor on the
left-hand side, in the cab) is recommended
if the vehicle is not to be used for a

period of
more than 5

days.

To w i n g
General recommendations
Obser ve the legislation in force in your
c o u nt r y.
Ensure that the weight of the towing
vehicle is higher than that of the towed
vehicle.
The driver must remain at the wheel of
the towed vehicle and must have a valid
driving licence.
When towing a
vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground, always use an approved
towbar; rope and straps are prohibited.
The towing vehicle must move off gently.
When the vehicle is towed with its engine
off, there is no longer braking and steering
assistance.
In the following cases, you must always
call on a
professional recovery ser vice:
-

v
ehicle broken down on a motor way or
main road,
-
f

our-wheel drive vehicle,
-

w
hen it is not possible to put the
gearbox into neutral, unlock the
steering, or release the parking brake,
-

t
owing with only two wheels on the
ground,
-

w
here there is no approved towbar
available.
The charging operation must be carried
out in a

ventilated area away from naked
flames or any possible sources of sparks
to eliminate the risk of explosion and fire.
Do not try to charge a

frozen battery: it
must first be thawed out to avoid the risk
of explosion. If the battery has frozen,
before charging it have it checked by
a

specialist who will verify that the internal
components have not been damaged and
that the case is not cracked, which could
mean that there is a

risk of a

leak of toxic
and corrosive acid.
Proceed with a

slow charge at low current
for a

maximum of about 24

hours to avoid
damaging the battery.
Charging the battery using
a battery charger
F Go to the battery located in the front left
f l o o r.
F

D
isconnect the battery.
F

F
ollow the instructions for use provided by
the manufacturer of the charger.
F

R
econnect starting with the negative (-)
terminal.
F

C
heck the condition of the terminals and
clamps. If they are covered with sulphate
(whitish or greenish deposits), disconnect
them and clean them all.
After refitting of the battery by a
CITROËN
dealer or a
qualified workshop, the Stop
& Start system will only be active after
a


continuous period of immobilisation
of the vehicle, a period which depends
on the climatic conditions and the state
of charge of the battery (up to about
8


h o u r s).
The presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a
12 V lead-acid battery with
special technology and specification;
the involvement of a
CITROËN dealer or
a
qualified workshop is essential when
replacing or disconnecting the battery.

pressing and holding the corresponding
buttons on the magnetic and portable remote
control situated on a
support in the cab.
The tipper body is raised by the motor in the
electro-hydraulic unit.
The tipper body is lowered by a solenoid valve
that opens the fluid return of the ram.
A safety device prevents the tipper body from
dropping when it is not moving or is being
raised. •
N
ever drive with a drop panel lowered.
•
E
nsure that there is no person or
obstacle nearby (below or above)
when unloading.
•
N
