Charging the battery using a
battery charger
Disconnect the battery from the
vehicle.
Follow the instructions for use
provided by the manufacturer of
the charger.
Reconnect starting with the neg-
ative terminal (-).
Check that the terminals and
connectors are clean. If they are
covered with sulphate (whitish or
greenish deposit), remove them
and clean them.
The batteries contain harm-
ful substances such as sul-
phuric acid and lead. They
must be disposed of in accordance
with regulations and must not, in
any circumstances, be discarded
with household waste.
Take used remote control batteries
and vehicle batteries to a special
collection point.
It is advisable to disconnect the
battery if the vehicle is to be left un-
used for more than one month. Do not disconnect the ter-
minals while the engine is
running.
Do not charge the batteries without
d i s c o n n e c t i n g t h e t e r m i n a l s fi r s t .
Do not touch the clips during the
operation.
Do not lean over the batteries.
Disconnect the cables in the re-
verse order to connection, ensur-
ing that they do not touch.
Before disconnecting the
battery
Wait 2 minutes after switching off
the ignition before disconnecting
the battery.
Close the windows and the doors
before disconnecting the battery. Following reconnection of the
battery
Following reconnection of the bat-
tery, switch on the ignition and wait
1 minute before starting to permit
initialisation of the electronic sys-
tems. However, if slight malfunctions
remain following this operation, con-
tact a CITROËN dealer.
Referring to the corresponding sec-
tion, you must yourself reinitialise:
- the remote control key,
- the glass panoramic roof blind,
- the GPS satellite navigation
system.

TOWING THE VEHICLE
Procedure for having your vehicle
towed or for towing another vehicle
using a removable towing eye.
Access to the tools
The towing eye is installed in the
j a c k b o x p l a c e d i n t h e s p a r e w h e e l .
To gain access to it:
open the boot,
r a i s e t h e fl o o r ,
remove the towing eye from the
j a c k b o x . Towing your vehicle
On the front bumper, unclip the
cover by pressing at the top.
Screw the towing eye in fully.
Attach the towing bar.
Switch on the hazard warning
lamps on the towed vehicle.
Place the gear lever in neutral
(position N on the automatic
g e a r b o x ) . Towing another vehicle
On the rear bumper, unclip the
cover by pressing:
- on the right (Saloon),
- at the bottom (Tourer).
Screw the towing eye in fully.
Attach the towing bar.
Switch on the hazard warning
lamps on the towed vehicle.
Failure to observe this special con-
dition could result in damage to
certain braking components and
the absence of braking assistance
t h e n e x t t i m e t h e e n g i n e i s s t a r t e d . When towing with all four wheels
on the ground, always use a towing
bar.
When towing with only two wheels
on the ground, always use profes-
sional lifting equipment.
When towing with the engine off,
there is no longer any braking or
steering assistance.

TOWING A TRAILER, A CARAVAN, ETC.
Towbar suited to the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional sig-
nalling and lighting.
Your vehicle is primarily designed
for transporting people and luggage,
but it may also be used for towing a
trailer.
We recommend the use of genuine
CITROËN towbars and their har-
nesses that have been tested and
approved from the design stage
o f y o u r v e h i c l e , a n d t h a t t h e fi t -
ting of the towbar is entrusted to a
CITROËN dealer. I f t h e t r a i l e r i s n o t fi t t e d b y
a CITROËN dealer, it is
i m p e r a t i v e t h a t i t i s fi t t e d
using the electrical pre-equipment
installed at the rear of the vehicle,
in accordance with the manufactur-
er’s instructions.
Driving with a trailer subjects the
t o w i n g v e h i c l e t o m o r e s i g n i fi c a n t
stress and its driver must be par-
ticularly careful.
Driving advice
Distribution of loads
Distribute the load in the trailer
so that the heaviest items are as
c l o s e a s p o s s i b l e t o t h e a x l e a n d
the nose weight approaches the
m a x i m u m p e r m i t t e d w i t h o u t e x -
ceeding it.
Air density decreases with altitude,
thus reducing engine performance.
A b o v e 1 0 0 0 m e t r e s , t h e m a x i m u m
t o w i n g l o a d m u s t b e r e d u c e d b y 1 0 %
and so on for every 1 000 metres of
altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section
for details of the weights and towing
loads which apply to your vehicle.
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.
T h e m a x i m u m t o w i n g l o a d o n a l o n g
slope depends on the gradient and
the ambient temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant temperature.
If the warning lamp and
the STOP warning lamp
come on, stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the brak-
ing distance.
Tyres
Check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended
pressures.
Lighting
Check the electrical signalling on
the trailer.
The rear parking assistance will
be deactivated automatically if an
original CITROËN towbar is used.
