PRACTICAL INFORMATION
BATTERY
Procedure for charging your battery
when it is fl at or for starting the en-
gine using another battery.
Access to the battery
V6 HDi engine
The battery is located under the bonnet.
For access to it:
)
open the bonnet using the interi-
or release lever, then the exterior
safety catch,
)
secure the bonnet stay,
)
remove the plastic cover to gain
access to the two terminals,
)
unclip the fusebox to remove the
battery, if necessary. The battery is located in the boot
under the left-hand wing trim.
For access to it:
)
open the boot,
)
open the fl ap and remove the
battery.
The presence of this label, in
particular with the Stop & Start
system, indicates the use of a
12 V lead-acid battery with special
technology and specifi cation; the
involvement of a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop is essential
when replacing or disconnecting
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
Starting using another
battery
)
Lift the pins to remove the front
left headlamp cover (V6 HDi en-
gine).
)
Connect the red cable to the
positive terminal (+) of the fl at
battery A
, then to the positive ter-
minal (+) of the slave battery B
.
)
Connect one end of the green or
black cable to the negative ter-
minal (-) of the slave battery B
.
V6 HDi engine: the positive ter-
minal (-) is located under the red
cover.
)
Connect the other end of the green
or black cable to the earth point C
on the broken down vehicle.
)
Operate the starter, let the en-
gine run.
)
Wait until the engine returns to
idle and disconnect the cables.
Charging the battery using a
battery charger
The batteries contain harmful
substances such as sulphuric
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 an autho-
rised 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 terminals
while the engine is running.
Do not charge the batteries without
disconnecting the terminals fi rst.
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 or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Referring to the corresponding sec-
tion, you must yourself reinitialise:
- the remote control key,
- the glass panoramic roof blind,
-
the GPS satellite navigation system.
)
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.
Do not disconnect the battery to
charge it.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
ENERGY ECONOMYMODE
System which manages the duration
of use of certain functions to con-
serve a suffi cient level of charge in
the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can
still use functions such as the audio
and telematics system, windscreen
wipers, dipped headlamps, courtesy
lights, etc. for a maximum combined
duration of thirty minutes.
This period may be signifi cantly re-
duced if the battery charge is low.
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated auto-
matically next time the vehicle is driven.
)
In order to resume the use of
these functions immediately, start
the engine and let it run for a few
minutes.
The time available will then be dou-
ble the duration for which the en-
gine was left running. However, this
time will always be between fi ve and
thirty minutes.
A fl at battery prevents the en-
gine from starting (refer to the
corresponding section).
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
jack box placed in the spare wheel.
For access to it:
)
open the boot,
)
raise the fl oor,
)
remove the towing eye from the
jack box.
Switching to economy mode
Once the thirty minutes are over, a
message appears on the multi-function
screen indicating that the vehicle has
switched to economy mode and the
active functions are put on standby.
If the telephone is being used at this
time:
- it will be maintained for fi ve min-
utes with hands-free kit of your
Audio system,
- it will be maintained for ten minutes
with your eMyWay.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
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
gearbox).
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
the next time the engine is started.
In the event of a fault or malfunc-
tion with the electronic gearbox
system, the vehicle may be immo-
bilised with a gear engaged. In this
case the front of the vehicle must
be lifted for towing.
When towing with all four wheels
on the ground, always use a tow-
ing 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.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
TOWING A TRAILER
Towbar suitable for the attachment
of a trailer or installation of a bicycle
carrier, with additional lighting and
signalling.
Your vehicle is primarily designed
for transporting people and luggage,
but it may also be used for towing a
trailer.
If the towbar is not fi tted by a
CITROËN dealer, it is imperative
that it is fi tted in accordance with
the vehicle manufacturer's instructions.
Driving advice
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 ex-
ceeding 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.
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, re-
duce your speed. The maximum towed load on a long
incline depends on the gradient and
the ambient temperature.
In all cases, keep a check on the
coolant temperature.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the brak-
ing distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes
on a long mountain type of descent,
the use of engine braking is recom-
mended.
Tyres
)
Check the tyre pressures of the
towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended
pressures.
Lighting
)
Check the electrical lighting and
signalling on the trailer.
The rear parking sensors will be
deactivated automatically if a gen-
uine 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.
We recommend the use of genuine
CITROËN towbars and their har-
nesses that have been tested and
approved from the design stage of
your vehicle, and that the fi tting of the
towbar is entrusted to a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Driving with a trailer places great-
er demands on the towing vehicle
and the driver must take particular
care.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section
for details of the weights and towed
loads which apply to your vehicle.
