Starting using another
battery
Never try to start the engine by
connecting a battery charger.
Never use a 24 V or higher battery

First check that the slave battery has a
nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity
at least equal to that of the discharged
battery.
The two vehicles must not be in contact
with each other.
Switch off the electrical consumers on
both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, ...).
Ensure that the jump lead cables do
not pass close to moving parts of the
engine (cooling fan, belts, ...).

For optimum service life of the battery, it is
essential to maintain an adequate state of
charge.
In some circumstances it may be necessary to
charge the battery:
-
i
f you use your vehicle essentially for short
journeys,
-

i
f the vehicle is to be taken off the road for
several weeks.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Charging the battery using
a battery charger
F Switch off the ignition.
F S witch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, lighting, wipers, ...).
If you envisage charging your vehicle's
battery yourself, use only a charger
compatible with lead-acid batteries of a
nominal voltage of 12 V. Follow the instructions for use provided
by the manufacturer of the charger.
Never reverse polarities.
Never try to charge a frozen battery.
If the battery has been frozen, 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.
If this label is present, it is essential
to use only a 12 V charger, to avoid
causing irreversible damage to the
electrical components related to the
Stop & Start system. It is not necessary to disconnect the
battery.
F
S
witch off the charger B before connecting
the cables to the battery, so as to avoid any
dangerous sparks.

,
-
t

point C on the vehicle.
F
A
t the end of the charging operation, switch
off the charger B before disconnecting the
cables from the battery A .
In the event of a breakdown

Do not force the lever as locking will
not be possible if the clamp is not
positioned correctly; start the procedure
again.
Disconnecting the battery
In order to maintain an adequate state
of charge for starting the engine, it is
recommended that the battery be disconnected
if the vehicle is taken out of service for a long
period.
Wait 2 minutes after switching off the ignition
before disconnecting the battery.
F

Having exposed the battery, it is only
necessary to disconnect the (+) terminal.
Quick release terminal
Disconnecting the (+) terminal
F Raise the lever A fully to release the clamp B.
Following reconnection of the battery
Reconnecting the (+) terminal
F Position the open clamp B of the cable on
the positive post (+) of the battery.
F

correctly on the battery post.
F

L
ock the clamp by lowering the lever A .After reconnecting the battery, switch on the
ignition and wait 1 minute before starting to
allow initialisation of the electronic systems.
However, if minor problems persist following
this operation, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section, you
must yourself reinitialise or reset certain
systems, such as:
-

t
he remote control or electronic key
(depending on version),
-
t
he electric windows,
-
t
he date and time,
-
t
he radio preset stations.
The Stop & Start system may not be
operational during the trip following the
first engine start.
In this case, the system will only be
available again after a continuous
period of immobilisation of the vehicle,
a period which depends on the ambient
temperature and the state of charge of
the battery (up to about 8 hours).

The towing eye is stowed in the tool box. For more information on the Tool box ,
refer to the corresponding section.
Procedure for having your vehicle towed or
for towing another vehicle using a removable
towing eye.
If your vehicle is fitted with a manual
gearbox, put the gear lever into neutral.
If your vehicle has an automatic or
electronic gearbox, place the gear
selector at position N
.
The failure to observe this special point
may lead to damage to components
of the braking system and the lack of
braking assistance on restarting the
engine.

Localised Assistance Call
If you purchased your vehicle outside
the CITROËN dealer network, we
invite you to have a dealer check the
configuration of these services and, if
desired, modified to suit your wishes.
In a multi-lingual country, configuration
is possible in the official national
language of your choice.
For technical reasons, particularly
to improve the quality of Telematic
services to customers, the
manufacturer reserves the right to
carry out updates to the vehicle's on-
board telematic system.
The fault with the system does not
prevent the vehicle being driven. Press this button for more than
2

seconds to request assistance
if the vehicle breaks down.
A voice message confirms that
the call has been started*.
Pressing this button again immediately cancels
the request.
The cancellation is confirmed by a voice
message.
Geo-location
You can deactivate geo-location by
simultaneously pressing the "Localised
Emergency Call" and "Localised Assistance
Call" buttons, followed by a press on "Localised
Assistance Call" to confirm.
To reactivate geo-location, simultaneously
press the "Localised Emergency Call" and
"Localised Assistance Call" buttons again,
followed by a press on "Localised Assistance
Call" to confirm.
The orange indicator lamp is on fixed: the back-
up battery should be replaced.
In both cases, the emergency and assistance
calls service may not work.
Contact a qualified repairer as soon as
possible.
Operation of the system
When the ignition is switched on,
the green indicator lamp comes
on for 3 seconds indicating that
the system is operating correctly.
The orange indicator lamp
flashes then goes off: the system
has a fault.

QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
There is a difference in
sound quality between the
different audio sources. For optimum sound quality, the audio settings for Loudness,
Ambience, Treble, Bass and Volume can be adapted to the different
sound sources, which may result in audible differences when
changing source. Check that the audio settings for Loudness,
Ambience, Treble, Bass and Volume are adapted
to the sources listened to. Adjust the Balance,
Treble and Bass to the middle position, select the
"None" musical ambience and set the loudness
correction to the "Active" position in CD mode or
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.

Your audio system is coded in such a way that it will only operate
in your vehicle. The different functions and adjustments described vary
according to the version and configuration of your vehicle. As a safety measure and because it requires the sustained
attention of the driver, the pairing of your Bluetooth telephone to
the Bluetooth hands-free audio system must only be carried out
with the vehicle stationary
and the ignition on.
To avoid discharging the battery, the audio system may switch
off after a few minutes if the engine is not running.

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 system switches to an automatic thermal
protection mode leading to a reduction in volume or CD play
stopping. Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to
allow the system to cool.
