This connection box comprises a USB port and 
a Jack auxiliary socket.For more information, refer to the 
corresponding part of the "Audio and 
telematics" section.
USB port
The USB port allows the connection of a 
portable device, such as a digital audio player 
of the iPod
® type or a USB memory stick.
The USB player reads your audio files, which 
are transmitted to your audio system and 
played via the vehicle's speakers.
The management of these files is from the 
steering mounted controls or the audio system.
USB Player
When connected to the USB port, the 
portable device charges automatically.
While charging, a message is displayed 
if the power consumption of the 
portable device exceeds the current 
delivered by the vehicle.
Jack auxiliary socket
The Jack auxiliary socket allows the connection 
of a portable device, such as a digital audio 
player, so that your audio files can be heard 
through the vehicle's speakers.
The management of these files is from the 
portable device. The USB also allows a telephone to be 
connected by a MirrorLinkâ„¢ connection, so 
that use can be made in the touch screen tablet 
of certain applications on the telephone.
The connection of an electrical device 
not approved by CITROËN, such as a 
USB charger, may adversely affect the 
operation of vehicle electrical systems, 
causing faults such as poor telephone 
reception or inter ference with displays 
in the screens.

Advice
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its 
spokes or resting your hands on the centre 
part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the 
dashboard.
Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags 
can cause burns or the risk of injury from a 
cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or 
hit it violently.
Do not fit or attach anything to the steering 
wheel or dashboard, this could cause injuries 
with deployment of the airbags.
Lateral airbags
Use only approved covers on the seats, 
compatible with the deployment the lateral 
airbags. For information on the range of 
seat covers suitable for your vehicle, you 
can contact a CITROËN  dealer.
For more information on accessories, refer 
to the corresponding section.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat 
backs (clothing...). This could cause injury 
to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is 
deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body 
any nearer to the door than necessary.
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the occupants 
and the airbags (a child, pet, object...), nor 
fix or attach anything close to the inflation 
trajectory of the airbags; this could cause 
injuries during their deployment.
Never modify the original definition of your 
vehicle, particularly in the area directly 
around the airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been 
stolen or broken into, have the airbag 
systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must be 
carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. 
This could cause injury to the head if the 
curtain airbag is deployed.
If fitted on your vehicle, do not remove the 
grab handles installed on the roof, they play 
a part in securing the curtain airbags.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned 
are observed, a risk of injury or of minor 
burns to the head, chest or arms when an 
airbag is deployed cannot be ruled out. The 
bag inflates almost instantly (within a few 
milliseconds) then deflates within the same 
time discharging the hot gas via openings 
provided for this purpose.
For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the safety recommendations below:

Access to the battery
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).
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 specification; 
the involvement of a CITROËN dealer 
or a qualified workshop is essential 
when replacing or disconnecting the 
battery.

Reinitialisation after 
reconnection
After any reconnection of the battery, switch on

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.
Do not push the vehicle to start the 
engine if your vehicle has an automatic 
gearbox.

QUESTIOnAnSWERSOLUTIOn
T
here 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 "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.
