Charging the battery using abattery charger



)
Disconnect the battery from the ve-
hicle.

)
Remove the battery and place it in a
ventilated area.

)
Remove the top-up caps and top up
the level with distilled water if nec-
essary.

)
Connect the battery to the charger
observing the instructions for use
provided by the manufacturer and
start charging.

)
Disconnect the battery from the
charger and let it to cool.

)
If necessary, top up the level with
distilled water.

)
Clean the top of the battery care-
fully.

)
Put the top-up caps back in place.

)
Check that the terminals and connec-
tors are clean. If they are covered with
sulphate (whitish or greenish deposit),
remove them and clean them.

)
Reconnect the battery starting with
the positive terminal (+).
Do not charge the batteries with-
out disconnecting the terminals
fi rst.
Avoid prolonged contact of the
electrolyte with the skin.
Most of these fl uids are harmful to
health and very corrosive. Do not disconnect the terminals while
the engine is running. The batteries contain harmful sub-
stances such as sulphuric acid
and lead. They must be disposed
of in accordance with regulations and
must not, in any circumstances, be dis-
carded with household waste.
Take used remote control batteries
and vehicle batteries to a special col-
lection point.
It is advisable to disconnect the bat-
tery if the vehicle is to be left unused
for more than one month. When charging the battery, it is normal
to observe an increase in temperature
and bubbling of the electrolyte.

Following reconnection of the
battery
Following reconnection of the battery,
switch on the ignition and wait 1 minute
before starting to permit initialisation
of the electronic systems. However, if
slight diffi culties are encountered follow-
ing this operation, contact a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section,
you must yourself reinitialise:


- the one-touch electric windows,

- the sunroof,

- the satellite navigation system.


Before disconnecting the battery
Wait 2 minutes after switching off the ig-
nition before disconnecting the battery.
Close the windows, the sunroof, the
doors and the tailgate before discon-
necting the battery.

AUDIO and TELEMATICS
NAVIGATION-GUIDANCE

What is the navigation system and
the GPS?
The satellite navigation system guides
the driver to the destination that he has
set in accordance with a chosen route.
Initially, it searches for the destination
required by the user, then it calculates
the route and fi nally it provides the vi-
sual and audible guidance instructions.
What precautions should be
observed in order to make best use
of the system?
Do not place anything on or near the
GPS aerial.
Do not use any digital communication
equipment (personal computers, etc.)
near the GPS aerial.
Do not affi x any refl ective fi lms or fi lms
containing carbon to the windows.
The GPS (Global Position-
ing System) consists of
several satellites distribut-
ed around the earth. They
continuously transmit digi-
tal signals which travel at the speed of
light, on 2 different frequencies.
At any given time, the system receives
its position in relation to the satellites
detected and the time of transmission
of the signal.
This enables the telematic unit to cal-
culate its position and therefore that of
the vehicle.
A repositioning process using the map
database stored on the hard disk allows
the vehicle to be positioned on the road
network, so improving the accuracy of
the vehicle location function.
What is a point of interest
(POI)?
Up to 40 different icons may
be displayed (refer to the
section "Points of interest
icon").
They are classifi ed in
5 groups and identifi ed by one colour
for each group:


- Shops, fi nance and businesses
(Green),

- Vehicles and travel (Dark blue),

- Restaurants (Orange),

- Public places and emergency ser-
vices (Brown),

- Entertainment and attractions (Blue).




GPS

The system's measurements may be
inaccurate if the vehicle is:


- in a tunnel or underground car park,

- underneath a two-level motorway,

- in an area with several very high
buildings,

- surrounded by closely planted trees.
Depending on the vehicle's situation
and the reception of the GPS informa-
tion, the displayed information may dis-
appear from the screen temporarily. A point of interest (POI) is
represented by an icon on
the map, it represents an
airport, a station, a town
hall, ...
