F

T

he cause of the failure must be identified
and rectified.
F

A

ll devices consuming electricity must be
switched off.
F

T

he vehicle must be immobilised with the
ignition off.
F

I

dentify the defective fuse using the

given in the following pages.
To replace a fuse, you must:
F

U

se the special tweezers to extract the
fuse from its housing and check the
condition of its filament.

Your vehicle's electrical system is
designed to operate with standard or
optional equipment.
Before installing other electrical
equipment or accessories on your vehicle,
contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
CITROËN will not accept responsibility for
the cost incurred in repairing your vehicle
or for rectifying malfunctions resulting
from the installation of accessories
not supplied and not recommended by
CITROËN and not installed in accordance
with its instructions, in particular when
the combined consumption of all of the
additional equipment connected exceeds
10 milliamperes.

173
Starting using another
battery
When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the
engine can be started using a slave battery
(external or on another vehicle) and jump lead
cables or a battery booster.Never try to start the engine by connecting
a battery charger.
Never use a 24 V or higher battery
b o o s t e r.
Check beforehand that the slave battery
has a nominal voltage of 12 V and a
minimum capacity equal to that of the
discharged battery.
The two vehicles must not be in contact
with each other.
Switch off the electrical consumers on
both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, ...).
Ensure that the jump lead cables do not
pass close to moving parts of the engine
(cooling fan, belts, ...).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal when
the engine is running. F

R
aise the plastic cover on the (+) terminal,
if your vehicle has one.
F

C
onnect the red cable to the positive
terminal (+) of the flat battery A (at the
metal elbow) then to the positive terminal
(+) of the slave battery B or the booster.
F

C
onnect one end of the green or black
cable to the negative terminal (-) of the
slave battery B or the booster (or earth
point on the other vehicle).
F

C
onnect the other end of the green or black
cable to the earth point C on the broken
down vehicle. F
S tart the engine of the vehicle with the
good battery and leave it running for a few
minutes.
F

O
perate the starter on the broken down
vehicle and let the engine run.
If the engine does not start straight away,
switch off the ignition and wait a few moments
before trying again.
F

W
ait until the engine returns to idle then
disconnect the jump lead cables in the
reverse order.
F

R
efit the plastic cover to the (+) terminal, if
your vehicle has one.
F

A
llow the engine to run for at least
30
minutes, by driving or with the vehicle
stationary, so that the battery reaches an
adequate state of charge.
Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged.

174
Charging the battery using
a battery charger
For optimum service life of the battery, it is
essential to maintain an adequate state of
charge.
In some circumstances it may be necessary to
charge the battery:
-
I
f you use your vehicle essentially for short
journeys.
-

I
f the vehicle is to be taken off the road for
several weeks.
Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
If you envisage charging your vehicle's
battery yourself, use only a charger
compatible with lead-based batteries of a
nominal voltage of 12 V.
Follow the instructions for use provided by
the charger manufacturer.
Never reverse polarities.
It is not necessary to disconnect the
battery. F

S
witch off the ignition.
F
S
witch off all electricity consuming devices
(audio system, lighting, wipers, etc.).
F
S
witch off the charger B before connecting
the cables to the battery, so as to avoid any
dangerous sparks.
F

E
nsure that the charger cables are in good
condition.
F

R
aise the plastic cover, if your vehicle has
one, on the (+) terminal.
F

C
onnect the charger B cables as follows:
-

T
he positive (+) red cable to the (+)
terminal of the battery A .
-

T
he negative (-) black cable to the earth
point C on the vehicle.
F

A
t the end of the charging operation, switch
off the charger B before disconnecting the
cables from the battery A . If this label is present, it is essential to
use only a 12 V charger to avoid causing
irreversible damage to the electrical
components related to the Stop & Start
system.
Never try any charge a frozen battery -
Risk of explosion!
If the battery has frozen, have it checked
by a
CITROËN dealer or by a qualified
workshop who will check that the internal
components have not been damaged and
that the container has not cracked, which
would mean a risk of toxic and corrosive
acid leaking.
In the event of a breakdown

175
Disconnecting the battery
In order to maintain an adequate state
of charge for starting the engine, it is
recommended that the battery be disconnected
if the vehicle is taken out of service for a long
period.
Before disconnecting the battery:
F
C
lose all openings (doors, boot, windows).
F

S
witch off all electricity consuming devices
(audio system, wipers, lighting, etc.).
F

S
witch off the ignition and wait for four
minutes.
After accessing the battery, you only have to
disconnect the (+) terminal.Rapid lock lug

After reconnecting the
battery
After reconnecting the battery, turn on the
ignition and wait 1 minute before starting
the engine, in order to enable the electronic
systems to initialise.
If minor problems nevertheless persist
following this operation, contact a
CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section, you
must reset certain systems yourself, such as:
-

T

he key with remote control.
-

T

he date and time.
-

T

he preset radio stations.
On the journey following the initial engine
start-up, the Stop & Start may not be
operational.
In this case, the system will only be
available again after a continuous
period of immobilisation of the vehicle,
a period which depends on the ambient
temperature and the state of charge of the
battery (up to about 8 hours).
In the event of a breakdown

Failure to observe this instruction could
result in damage to certain components
(braking, transmission...) and the absence
of braking assistance the next time the
engine is started.
F

U
nlock the steering by turning the ignition
key one notch and release the parking
brake.
F

S
witch on the hazard warning lamp on both
vehicles.

In order to be able to play a burned
CDR or CDRW, select standards
ISO 9660 level 1, 2 or Joliet if possible
when burning the CD.
If the disc is burned in another format, it
may not be played correctly.
It is recommended that the same
burning standard is always used on an
individual disc, with the lowest speed
possible (4x maximum) for the best
acoustic quality.
In the particular case of a multi-
session CD, the Joliet standard is
recommended.
Do not connect a hard disk or USB device
other than audio players to the USB
port. This may cause damage to your
installation.Playing a compilationInsert an MP3
compilation in the CD
player or connect a
memory stick to the
USB port, directly or via
an extension lead.
The system creates playlists (temporary
memory) , which can take from a few
seconds to several minutes.
The playlists are updated every time the
ignition is switched off or a USB memory
stick is connected.
Play starts automatically after a certain
amount of time depending on the capacity
of the USB memory stick.
Use only USB memory sticks formatted
FAT 32 (File Allocation Table). At a first connection, the
order suggested is by folder.
When connecting again, the
order previously chosen is
retained.
To play a disc or memory
stick which has already been
inserted, press the SRC/TEL

button repeatedly and select
" CD " or " USB".
Press one of the buttons to
select the next or previous
track.
Rotate the thumb wheel to
select the next or previous
folder in the order chosen.

Using the telephone
Pairing a telephone
First connection
The services offered depend on
the network, the SIM card and the
compatibility of the Bluetooth telephone
used.
Check the instructions for your telephone
and with your service provider for the
services to which you have access.
As a safety measure and because they
require prolonged attention on the part
of the driver, the operations for pairing
of the Bluetooth mobile telephone with
the Bluetooth hands-free system of your
audio system must be carried out with the
vehicle stationary and the ignition on.
