Your vehicle’s electrical sys-

tem is designed to operate

with either standard or op-

tional equipment.

Before installing electrical equip-

ment or accessories on your vehi-

cle, consult a CITROËN dealer.

CITROËN declines all responsibil-

ity for the consequences and costs

that are caused by faults or repairs

on your vehicle resulting from the in-

stallation of accessories that are not

supplied and/or not recommended

by CITROËN and not installed in

conformity with its requirements,

particularly when the total consump-

tion of additional devices exceeds

10 milliamperes.

The Maxi fuses give additional pro-

tection to electrical systems. Any

work on them must be carried out

by a CITROËN dealer.

  On  completion,  close  the  cover
carefully.
  If  the  cover  is  not  correctly  po-
sitioned  or  not  properly  closed,
this  could  cause  serious  prob-
lems  on  your  vehicle.  For  the
same  reason,  take  care  not  to
spill any liquid in the fusebox.

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 speciﬁ cation, for

which the involvement of a CITROËN

dealer is required when replacing or

disconnecting the battery.

Failure to observe this recommen-

dation may cause premature wear

of the battery.

After reﬁ tting the battery, the Stop &

Start system will only be active after

a continuous period of immobilisa-

tion of the vehicle, a period which

depends on the climatic conditions

and the state of charge of the bat-

tery (up to about 8 hours).

195

P R A C T I C A L I N F O R M A T I O N

Starting using another
battery



 Connect the other end of the green

or black cable to the earth point C

on the broken down vehicle.



Operate the starter, let the engine run.

 Wait until the engine returns to

idle and disconnect the cables.

Charging the battery using a
battery charger

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 an autho-

rised collection point.

It is advisable to disconnect the

battery if the vehicle is to be left un-

used for more than one month.

Do not disconnect the ter-

minals while the engine is

running.

Do not charge the batteries without

disconnecting the terminals ﬁ rst.

Do not touch the clips during the

operation.

Do not lean over the batteries.

Disconnect the cables in the re-

verse order to connection, ensuring

that they do not touch.
Before disconnecting the battery
Wait 2 minutes after switching off

the ignition before disconnecting

the battery.
Close the windows and the doors

before disconnecting the battery.

Following reconnection of the
battery
Following reconnection of the bat-

tery, switch on the ignition and wait

1 minute before starting to permit

initialisation of the electronic sys-

tems. However, if slight malfunctions

remain following this operation, con-

tact a CITROËN dealer.

Referring to the corresponding sec-

tion, you must yourself reinitialise:

- the remote control key,

- the glass panoramic roof blind,

- the GPS satellite navigation

system.



Disconnect the battery from the

vehicle.

 Follow the instructions for use

provided by the manufacturer of

the charger.



Reconnect starting with the nega-

tive terminal (-).



Check that the terminals and

connectors are clean. If they are

covered with sulphate (whitish or

greenish deposit), remove them

and clean them.

The Stop & Start battery does not

have to be disconnected for charging.

196

P R A C T I C A L I N F O R M A T I O N

ENERGY ECONOMY MODE

System which manages the duration

of use of certain functions to con-

serve a sufﬁ cient 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.

Switching to economy mode

Once the thirty minutes are over, a

message appears on the multi-function

screen indicating that the vehicle has

switched to economy mode and the

active functions are put on standby.

If the telephone is being used at this

time:

- it will be maintained for 5 minutes

with radio-CD hands-free kit,

- it will be interrupted after 10 minutes

with the MyWay audio-navigation

system,

- you can complete your call with

the NaviDrive system.

This period may be signiﬁ cantly re-

duced if the battery charge is low.

Exiting economy mode

These functions are reactivated auto-

matically next time the vehicle is

driven.


In 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 dou-

ble the duration for which the en-

gine was left running. However, this

time will always be between ﬁ ve and

thirty minutes.

A ﬂ at battery prevents the en-

gine from starting (refer to the

corresponding paragraph).

197

P R A C T I C A L I N F O R M A T I O N

TOWING THE VEHICLE

Procedure for having your vehicle

towed or for towing another vehicle

using a removable towing eye.

Access to the tools

The towing eye is installed in the

jack box placed in the spare wheel.

For access to it:


open the boot,



raise the ﬂ oor,



remove the towing eye from the

jack box.

Towing your vehicle



On the front bumper, unclip the

cover by pressing at the top.



Screw the towing eye in fully.



Attach the towing bar.

 Switch on the hazard warning

lamps on the towed vehicle.

 Place the gear lever in neutral

(position N on the automatic

gearbox).

Towing another vehicle



On the rear bumper, unclip the

cover by pressing:

- on the right (Saloon),
- at the bottom (Tourer).



Screw the towing eye in fully.



Attach the towing bar.

 Switch on the hazard warning

lamps on the towed vehicle.

Failure to observe this special con-

dition could result in damage to

certain braking components and

the absence of braking assistance

the next time the engine is started.

When towing with all four wheels on

the ground, always use a towing bar.

When towing with only two wheels

on the ground, always use profes-

sional lifting equipment.

When towing with the engine off,

there is no longer any braking or

steering assistance.

198

P R A C T I C A L I N F O R M A T I O N

TOWING A TRAILER,
A CARAVAN, ETC.

Towbar suitable for the attachment

of a trailer or caravan with additional

lighting and signalling.

Your vehicle is primarily designed

for transporting people and luggage,

but it may also be used for towing a

trailer.

We recommend the use of genuine

CITROËN towbars and their har-

nesses that have been tested and

approved from the design stage

of your vehicle, and that the ﬁ t-

ting of the towbar is entrusted to a

CITROËN dealer.

If the trailer is not ﬁ tted by a

CITROËN dealer, it is impera-

tive that it is ﬁ tted using the

vehicle's electrical pre-equipment,

in accordance with the manufactur-

er's instructions.
Driving with a trailer subjects the

towing vehicle to more signiﬁ cant

stress and the driver must take

particular care.

Driving advice

Distribution of loads
 Distribute the load in the trailer

so that the heaviest items are as

close as possible to the axle and

the nose weight approaches the

maximum permitted without ex-

ceeding it.

Air density decreases with altitude,

thus reducing engine performance.

Above 1 000 metres, the maximum

towed load must be reduced by 10 %

for every 1 000 metres of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section
for details of the weights and towed

loads which apply to your vehicle.

Side wind
 Take into account the increased

sensitivity to side wind.

Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases

the temperature of the coolant.

As the fan is electrically controlled,

its cooling capacity is not dependent

on the engine speed.


To lower the engine speed, re-

duce your speed.

The maximum towed load on a long

incline depends on the gradient and

the ambient temperature.

In all cases, keep a check on the

coolant temperature.



If the warning lamp and

the STOP

warning lamp

come on, stop the vehicle

and switch off the engine

as soon as possible.

Braking
Towing a trailer increases the brak-

ing distance.
  Tyres
   

Check the tyre pressures of the

towing vehicle and of the trailer,

observing the recommended

pressures.

Lighting
 Check the electrical lighting and

signalling on the trailer.

The rear parking sensors will be

deactivated automatically if a gen-

uine CITROËN towbar is used.

199

P R A C T I C A L I N F O R M A T I O N

ROOF BARS

The design of your vehicle requires

the use of roof bars that are tested

and approved by CITROËN, for your

safety and to avoid damage to the

roof and tailgate.

Regardless of the type of loading

equipment to be transported on the

roof (bicycle carrier, ski carrier...), it

is imperative that you add transverse

roof bars. Any securing or lashing to

components other than the roof bars

is strictly prohibited.

Recommendations



Distribute your load evenly, avoid-

ing overloading on one side.



Arrange the heaviest part of the

load as close as possible to the

roof.



Anchor the load securely and

draw attention to it if any part of

it is overhanging.



Drive gently, as the vehicle will

be more liable to the effects of

side winds (vehicle stability may

be altered).



Remove the roof bars as soon

as they are no longer needed.

Maximum load that can be

distributed on the roof bars

(for a loading height not ex-

ceeding 40 cm; except bicycle car-

rier): 80 kg.

If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt

your speed to the proﬁ le of the road

to avoid damaging the roof bars

and the ﬁ xings on the roof.
Please refer to national legislation

in order to comply with the regula-

tions concerning the transportation

of objects which are longer than

the vehicle.

Blanking cover

When towing, you must remove the

blanking cover in the front bumper

as well as the bonnet seal if ﬁ tted.

Contact a CITROËN dealer for this.
