PRACTICAL INFORMATION
BATTERY
Procedure for charging your battery
when it is fl at or for starting the engine
using another battery.
Access to the battery
Starting using another battery
)
Connect the red cable to the posi-
tive terminal (+) of the fl at battery A
,
then to the positive terminal (+) of
the slave battery B
.
)
Connect one end of the green or black
cable to the negative terminal (-) of the
slave battery B
.
)
Connect the other end of the green
or black cable to the remote nega-
tive terminal (-) of your vehicle.
)
Start the slave vehicle.
)
Operate the starter of the broken
down vehicle and let the engine run.
)
Wait until the engine returns to idle
and disconnect the cables.
The battery is located under the bonnet.
To gain access to it:
)
open the bonnet using the interior
release lever, then the exterior safety
catch,
)
secure the bonnet stay,
)
lift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal.
The presence of this label, in
particular with the Stop & Start
system, indicates the use of a
12 V lead-acid battery with spe-
cial technology and specifi cation;
the involvement of a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop is
essential when replacing or dis-
connecting the battery.
Failure to observe this recommen-
dation may cause premature wear
of the battery.
After refi tting the battery by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop, the Stop & Start system
will only be active after a continu-
ous 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 hours).

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Batteries contain harmful sub-
stances such as sulphuric acid
and lead. They must be dis-
posed of in accordance with
regulations and must not, in any
circumstances, be discarded
with household waste.
Take used remote control bat-
teries and vehicle batteries to a
special collection point.
Charging the battery using a battery charger LOAD REDUCTION MODE
System which manages the use of
certain functions according to the level
of charge remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the
load reduction function temporarily de-
activates certain functions, such as
the air conditioning, the heated rear
screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivat-
ed automatically as soon as conditions
permit.
Do not push the vehicle to start
the engine if your vehicle is fi t-
ted with the electronic gearbox
system.
Do not disconnect the battery to
charge it.
)
Follow the instructions for use pro-
vided by the manufacturer of the
charger.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
A fl at battery prevents the en-
gine from starting (refer to the
corresponding paragraph).
If the telephone is being used
at the same time on the MyWay
audio navigation system, it will
be interrupted after 10 minutes.
ENERGY ECONOMY MODE
System which manages the period of
use of certain functions to conserve a
suffi cient 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.
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated auto-
matically the next time the vehicle is
driven.
)
In order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, start the en-
gine and let it run for a few minutes.
The time available to you will then be dou-
ble the period for which the engine is left
running. However, this period will always
be between fi ve and thirty minutes.
Switching to economy mode
Once this period has elapsed, a mes-
sage appears on the multifunction
screen indicating that the vehicle has
switched to economy mode and the
active functions are put on standby.
CHANGING A FRONT OR REARWIPER BLADE
Procedure for replacing a worn wiper
blade with a new one without the use
of tools.
Removal
)
Raise the corresponding wiper arm.
)
Unclip the wiper blade and remove it.
Fitting
)
At the front, check the size of the
wiper blade as the shorter blade is
fi tted to the passenger side of the
vehicle.
)
Put the corresponding new wiper
blade in place and clip it.
)
Fold down the wiper arm carefully.
Before removing a front wiper blade
)
Within one minute after switching off
the ignition, operate the wiper stalk
to position the wiper blades in the
vertical position.
This position must be used in order to
avoid damaging the wiper blade and the
bonnet.
After fitting a front wiper blade
)
Switch on the ignition.
)
Operate the wiper stalk again to
park the wiper blades.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
TOWING THE VEHICLE
Access to the tools
The towing eye is installed under the
boot fl oor.
To gain access to it:
)
open the boot,
)
remove the adjustable boot fl oor,
)
lift up the boot carpet,
)
remove the towing eye from the tool
holder.
General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in your country.
Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle is higher than that of the towed
vehicle.
The driver must stay at the wheel of the towed vehicle.
Driving on motorways and fast roads is prohibited when towing.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, always use an
approved towing bar; rope and straps are prohibited.
When towing a vehicle with the engine off, there is no longer any power
assistance for braking or steering.
In the following cases, you must always call on a professional recovery
service:
- vehicle broken down on a motorway or fast road,
- when it is not possible to put the gearbox into neutral, unlock the steering,
or release the parking brake,
- towing with only two wheels on the ground,
- where there is no approved towing bar available...
Procedure for having your vehicle towed
or for towing another vehicle using a re-
movable towing eye.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
TOWING A TRAILER, ...
Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer.
Driving advice
The maximum towed load on a long in-
cline depends on the gradient and the
ambient temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the coolant
temperature.
Side wind
)
Take into account the increased
sensitivity to side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases
the temperature of the coolant.
As the fan is electrically controlled, its
cooling capacity is not dependent on
the engine speed.
)
To lower the engine speed, reduce
your speed.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes on a
long mountain type of descent, the use
of engine braking is recommended.
Tyres
)
Check the tyre pressures of the towing
vehicle and of the trailer, observing the
recommended pressures.
Lighting
)
Check the electrical lighting and sig-
nalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will
be deactivated automatically if
a genuine CITROËN towbar is
used.
)
If the warning lamp and the
STOP
warning lamp come
on, stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine as
soon as possible.
Towbar suitable for the attachment of a
trailer with additional lighting and sig-
nalling.
Distribution of loads
)
Distribute the load in the trailer so
that the heaviest items are as close
as possible to the axle and the nose
weight approaches the maximum
permitted without exceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above
1 000 metres, the maximum towed load
must be reduced by 10 % for every
1 000 metres of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for
details of the weights and towed loads
which apply to your vehicle. Driving with a trailer places greater de-
mands on the towing vehicle and the
driver must take particular care.
We recommend the use of gen-
uine CITROËN towbars and
their harnesses that have been
tested and approved from the
design stage of your vehicle,
and that the fi tting of the tow-
bar is entrusted to a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
If the towbar is not fi tted by a
CITROËN dealer, it is impera-
tive that it is fi tted in accordance
with the vehicle manufacturer's
instructions.
