Charging the battery using
a battery charger
F Disconnect the battery from the vehicle.
F Follow the instructions for use provided by
the manufacturer of the charger.
F Reconnect starting with the negative
terminal (-).
F Check that the terminals and connectors
are clean. If they are covered with sulphate
(whitish or greenish deposit), remove them
and clean them.With Stop & Start, the battery does not
have to be disconnected for charging.
Some functions are not available if the
battery is not sufficiently charged.
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, so as to avoid the risk of
explosion or fire.
Do not try to charge a frozen battery;
the battery must first be thawed out to
avoid the risk of explosion. If the battery
has been frozen, before charging have
it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop who will check that
the internal components have not been
damaged and the casing is not cracked,
which could cause a leak of toxic and
corrosive acid.
Do not reverse the polarity and use only
a 12 V charger.
Do not disconnect the terminals while
the engine is running.
Do not charge the batteries without
disconnecting the terminals first.
Wash your hands after wards.
It is advisable to disconnect the battery
if the vehicle is to be left unused for
more than one month.
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 a special collection point.
d
o not push the vehicle to start the
engine if your vehicle has an automatic
gearbox.
After refitting the battery, the Stop &
Start system will only be active after a
continuous 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).

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
beam headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc. for
a maximum combined duration of about
forty minutes.Switching to economy mode
A message then appears in the instrument
panel screen indicating that the vehicle has
switched to economy mode and the active
functions are put on standby.
If a telephone call is being made at this
time, it will be maintained for around
10 minutes with the Bluetooth hands-
free system of your audio system.
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated automatically
next time the vehicle is driven.
In order to restore the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it run:
- for less than ten minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately five minutes,
- for more than ten minutes, to use the
equipment for up to approximately
thirty minutes.
Let the engine run for the duration specified to
ensure that the battery charge is sufficient.

QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
There is a difference in
sound quality between the
different audio sources. For optimum sound quality, the audio settings for Volume, Bass,
Treble, Equalizer and Loudness can be adapted to the different
sound sources, which may result in audible differences when
changing source. Check that the audio settings for (Volume, Bass,
Treble, Equalizer, Loudness) are adapted to the
sources listened to. It is advisable to set the
audio functions (Bass, Treble, Fr-Re balance,
Le-Ri balance) to the middle position, select the
"Linear", musical ambience and set the loudness
correction to the "Inactive" position in radio
mode.
With the engine off, the
system switches off after a
few minutes of use. When the engine is switched off, the system's operating time
depends on the state of charge of the battery.
The switch-off is normal: the system 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.
