In the event of a breakdown
Refitting the lamp units
Perform the operations in the reverse
order to dismantling.
Opening the bonnet/Accessing the
bulbs
Proceed with caution when the engine is hot -
risk of burns!
Take care with objects or clothing that could
be caught in the blades of the cooling fan -
risk of strangulation!
Halogen bulbs (Hx)
To ensure good quality lighting, check
that the bulb is correctly positioned in its
housing.
Light-emitting diode (LED)
headlamps and lamps
Depending on version, the affected types of
headlamps/lamps are:
– Front foglamps.
– Daytime running lamps/sidelamps.
– Dipped beam headlamps.
– Main beam headlamps.
– Direction indicator side repeaters.
– Third brake lamp.
– Number plate lamps.
Putting the spare wheel
back in place
The punctured wheel cannot be put
under the boot floor.
► Put the spare wheel back in place in its
housing.
►
Slacken the nut on the bolt by a few turns.
►
Position the fastening device (nut and bolt) in
the middle of the wheel.
►
T
ighten the central nut sufficiently to retain
the wheel correctly.
►
Stow the tools in the bag or storage box
(depending on equipment).
If there is no wheel in the well, the
fastening device (nut and bolt) cannot be
refitted.
After changing a wheel
With a "space-saver" type spare wheel
Deactivate certain driving aid functions
(Active Safety Brake, Adaptive cruise control,
etc.).
Do not exceed the maximum authorised
speed of 50 mph (80
km/h) or the maximum
distance of 50 miles (80 km).
Driving with more than one "space-saver"
type spare wheel is prohibited.
Visit a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Have the tightening of the spare wheel's bolts
and its tyre pressure checked.
Have the punctured tyre examined. After
inspection, the technician will advise you on
whether the tyre can be repaired or if it must
be replaced.
Changing a bulb
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), misting on the
internal surface of the glass of the headlamps
and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear
after the lamps have been on for a few
minutes.
The headlamps have polycarbonate lenses with a protective coating:
–
Do not clean them with a dry or abrasive
cloth, nor with detergent or solvent
products.
–
Use a sponge and soapy water or a pH
neutral product.
–
When using a high-pressure washer on
persistent marks, do not keep the lance
directed towards the headlamps, lamps or
their edges for too long, so as not to damage
their protective coating and seals.
Changing a bulb must only be done with
the ignition off and after the headlamp /
lamp has been switched off for several
minutes - risk of serious burns!
Do not touch the bulb directly with your
fingers; use a lint-free cloth.
It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet
(UV) type bulbs, so as not to damage the
headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a new bulb
of the same type and specification. To avoid
lighting imbalance, replace the bulbs in pairs.

Fuses
Changing a fuse
All work must be carried out only by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
The replacement of a fuse by a third party
could cause a serious malfunction of the
vehicle.
Installing electrical accessories
The vehicle's electrical system is
designed to operate with standard or optional
equipment.
Before fitting other electrical equipment
or accessories to your vehicle, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
CITROËN accepts no responsibility for
the cost incurred in repairing the vehicle
or for rectifying malfunctions resulting from
the installation of accessories not supplied or
not recommended by CITROËN and not
installed in accordance with its
recommendations, in particular when the
combined power consumption of all of the
additional equipment connected exceeds 10
milliamperes.
12 V battery
Procedure for starting the engine using another
battery or for charging a discharged battery.
Lead-acid starter batteries
These batteries contain harmful substances (sulphuric acid and lead).
They must be disposed of in accordance
with regulations and must never under any
circumstances be discarded with household
waste.
Take used remote control batteries and
vehicle batteries to a special collection point.
Protect your eyes and face before
handling the battery.
All operations on the battery must be carried
out in a well ventilated area and away from
naked flames and sources of sparks, to avoid
any risk of explosion or fire.
Wash your hands afterwards.
Accessing the battery
The battery is located under the bonnet.
For access to the (+) terminal:
Page 150 of 244

148
In the event of a breakdown
► Release the bonnet by pulling the internal
release lever , then the external safety catch.
►
Raise the bonnet.
(+)
Positive terminal.
This terminal has a quick-release clamp.
(-) Negative terminal.
As the battery's negative terminal is not
accessible, use the engine mounting.
Starting using another
battery
If the vehicle's battery is flat, the engine can be
started using a backup battery (either external or
from another vehicle) and jump leads or using a
battery booster.
Never start the engine by connecting a
battery charger.
Never use a 24
V or higher battery booster.
Check beforehand that the backup battery
has a nominal voltage of 12
V and a capacity
at least equal to that of the discharged
battery.
The two vehicles must not be in contact with
each other.
Switch off all electricity-consuming equipment
on both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, etc.).
Make sure that the jump leads are well away
from the engine’s moving parts (fan, belt,
etc.).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while the
engine is running.
► Lift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal, if the
vehicle has one.
►
Connect the red cable to the (+) terminal of
flat battery
A (at the metal elbow), then to the
(+) terminal of the backup battery
B or of the
booster.
►
Connect one end of the green or black cable
to the (-) terminal of the backup battery
B or of
the booster (or to an earth point on the assisting
vehicle).
►
Connect the other end of the green or black
cable to the earth point
C
.
►
Start the engine on the assisting vehicle and
leave it running for a few minutes.
►
Operate the starter on the broken down
vehicle and let the engine run.
If the engine does not start immediately
, switch
off the ignition and wait a few moments before
trying again.
►
W
ait for it to return to idle.
►
Disconnect the jump leads in reverse order.
► Refit the plastic cover to the (+) terminal, if
the vehicle has one.
►
Allow the engine to run for at least
30
minutes, with the vehicle stationary, so that
the battery reaches an adequate state of charge.
Driving immediately without having
reached a sufficient level of charge may
affect some of the vehicle's functions.
Automatic gearbox
Never try to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle.
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:
–
When using the vehicle mainly for short
journeys.
–
If the vehicle is to be taken off the road for
several weeks.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
To charge the vehicle's battery yourself, use only a charger compatible with
lead-acid batteries with a nominal voltage of
12
V.
