Energy economy mode
System which manages the duration of use of
certain functions to conserve a sufficient 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.Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated automatically
next time the vehicle is driven.

n 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 double the

Checks
12 V battery
The battery does not require any maintenance.
However, check that the terminals are clean
and correctly tightened, particularly in summer
and winter.
The presence of this label, in particular with
the Stop & Start system, indicates the use of
a specific 12 V lead-acid battery with special
technology and specification. The involvement
of a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
is essential when replacing or disconnecting
the battery. Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the manufacturer's service schedule and according to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle (e.g.
city driving), replace them twice as often if
necessary.
A clogged passenger compartment filter may
have an adverse effect on the per formance
of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours. Replace the oil filter each time
the
engine oil is changed.
Oil filter
Refer to the manufacturer's service schedule
for details of the replacement interval for this
component.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer
to the "12 V battery" section for details of the
precautions to be taken before disconnecting
the battery and following its reconnection. Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of the
replacement intervals for these
components.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
QUESTION ANSWER SOLUTION
Sound cut-outs of 1 to
2

seconds in radio mode. During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS searches for another frequency
giving better reception of the station. Deactivate the RDS function if the phenomenon is
too frequent and always on the same route.
With the engine off,
the audio equipment
switches off after a few
minutes of use. When the engine is switched off, the audio equipment operating time
depends on the battery charge.
The switch-off is normal: the audio equipment switches to economy mode
and switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery. Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery
charge.
The message "the audio
system is overheated"
appears on the display. In order to protect the installation if the surrounding temperature is too
high, the audio equipment switches to an automatic thermal protection
mode leading to a reduction of the volume or stopping of the playing of
the CD. Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to
allow the system to cool.
