D
o not clean your lamps with a dry or
abrasive cloth, nor with detergent or
solvent products. Use a sponge and
soapy water or a pH neutral product.
-

W
hen using a high pressure washer on
stubborn dirt, avoid prolonged use on the
headlamps, the lamps and their edges to
avoid damaging their lacquer finish and
seals.
-

N

-

W
hen washing your vehicle in an
automatic roller-brush car wash, be sure
to lock your doors and, depending on the
version you have, remove the key and
deactivate the " Hands-Free Tailgate
Access " system. It is always preferable to have paint
repairs carried out by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
-

N
ever use high pressure washing to
clean the engine compartment, in order
to avoid damaging the electrical units.
-

L
iquids carried in an open vessel (a cup
or mug) could be spilt, presenting a risk
of damage on contact with the controls
in the dashboard and centre console. Be
careful.
Depending on the version you have, in order
to avoid damaging or unpeeling the stickers
on the bodywork, you are strongly advised
against using high-pressure cleaners to
wash your vehicle. It is recommended that
you wash it using a high-flow water jet and
rinse the vehicle down using demineralised
water.
Only a microfibre cloth is recommended for
wiping your vehicle, it must be clean and
used gently.

On vehicles fitted with Diesel engines, the fuel
system must be primed if you run out of fuel.
For all versions other than BlueHDi, refer to the
corresponding engine compartment view.
For more information on Diesel misfuel
prevention , refer to the corresponding
section.

12 V battery
Procedure for starting the engine using another
battery or charging a discharged battery.
Lead-acid starter batteries
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.
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.
Wash your hands afterwards.
Access to the battery
The battery is located under the bonnet.
F O pen the bonnet using the interior release
lever, then the exterior safety catch.
F

S
ecure the bonnet stay.
For more information on the Bonnet
and Engine , refer to the corresponding
section.
Starting using another
battery
When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the
engine can be started using a back-up battery
(external or from another vehicle) and jump
leads or a battery booster.
F

R

emove the plastic cover to access the (+)
terminal, if your vehicle has one.
The battery (-) terminal is not accessible.
A remote earth point is provided at the front of
the vehicle. Never try to start the engine by connecting
a battery charger.
Never use a 24
V or higher battery
b o o s t e r.
Check beforehand that the back-up
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 all the electrical consumers
on both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, etc.).
Make sure that the jump leads are not
close to moving parts of the engine
(fan, belts, etc.).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while
the engine is running.
In the event of a breakdown

285
F Start the engine of the vehicle with the good battery and leave it running for a few
minutes.
F

O

your vehicle has one.
F
A
llow the engine to run for at least
30 minutes, by driving or with the vehicle
stationary, so that the battery reaches an
adequate state of charge.
To disconnect, proceed in reverse order.
Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged.
Charging the battery using
a battery charger
For optimum ser vice 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 only use your vehicle 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. If you wish to charge your vehicle's battery
yourself, use only a charger compatible
with lead-acid batteries with a nominal
voltage of 12
V.
Follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the charger.
Never reverse polarities.
It is not necessary to disconnect the
battery.
