The battery A is located under the bon-

net on the left.
To gain access to it:
) open the bonnet using the interior re-

lease lever, then the exterior safety

catch,

) secure the bonnet stay.

BATTERY

Access to the battery

) Connect the red cable to the posi-

tive terminal (+) of the fl at battery A ,

then to the positive terminal (+) of

the slave battery B .

) Connect one end of the green or black

cable to the negative terminal (-) of the

slave battery B .

) Connect the other end of the green

or black cable to an earth point C on

the broken down vehicle, as far as

possible from the battery (for exam-

ple, right-hand engine mounting).

) Start the engine of the assisting ve-

hicle.

) Operate the starter, let the engine

run.

) Wait until the engine returns to idle

and disconnect the cables.

) Raise the front of the cover 1 to re-

lease the three clips 2 .

) Then pull the cover 1 towards you

Charging the battery using a

battery charger

) Disconnect the battery from the ve-

hicle.

) Remove the battery and place it in a

ventilated area.

) Remove the top-up caps and top up

the level with distilled water if nec-

essary.

) Connect the battery to the charger

observing the instructions for use

provided by the manufacturer and

start charging.

) Disconnect the battery from the

charger and let it to cool.

) If necessary, top up the level with

distilled water.

) Clean the top of the battery care-

fully.

) Put the top-up caps back in place.
) Check that the terminals and connec-

tors are clean. If they are covered with

sulphate (whitish or greenish deposit),

remove them and clean them.

) Reconnect the battery starting with

the positive terminal (+).

Do not charge the batteries with-

out disconnecting the terminals

fi rst.

Avoid prolonged contact of the

electrolyte with the skin.

Most of these fl uids are harmful to

health and very corrosive.

Do not disconnect the terminals while

the engine is running.

The batteries contain harmful sub-

stances such as sulphuric acid

and lead. They must be disposed

of in accordance with regulations and

must not, in any circumstances, be dis-

carded with household waste.
Take used remote control batteries

and vehicle batteries to a special col-

lection point.
It is advisable to disconnect the bat-

tery if the vehicle is to be left unused

for more than one month.

When charging the battery, it is normal

to observe an increase in temperature

and bubbling of the electrolyte.

Following reconnection of the

battery
Following reconnection of the battery,

switch on the ignition and wait 1 minute

before starting to permit initialisation

of the electronic systems. However, if

slight diffi culties are encountered follow-

ing this operation, contact a CITROËN

dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section,

you must yourself reinitialise:
-

the one-touch electric windows,

- the

sunroof,

the satellite navigation system.

Before disconnecting the battery
Wait 2 minutes after switching off the ig-

nition before disconnecting the battery.
Close the windows, the sunroof, the

doors and the tailgate before discon-

necting the battery.

   )   open the boot,
  )   turn button A  to the left,
  )   remove the cover B ,
  )  remove the fi xing band C  and take out

the tool bag D containing the tools,

) take the towing eye and the tools re-

quired out of the tool bag.

Place the gear lever in neutral.

Always have the vehicle

towed on a fl atbed.

Never have the vehicle towed with

the four wheels on the ground, this

could damage the transmission.
The vehicle must not be towed with

the front or rear wheels on the ground

even if it is in front "2WD" (2 wheel

drive) mode.

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

155

Towing another vehicle

) On the rear bumper, remove the

cover by pulling at the bottom using

the jack handle 2 .

) Screw in the towing eye fully using

the wheelbrace 3 .

) Install the towbar.
) Switch on the hazard warning lamps

on the towed vehicle.

When being towed with the en-

gine off, there is no longer any

braking or steering assistance.

General recommendations

Observe the legislation in force in your country.
Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle is higher than that of the towed

vehicle.
The driver must stay at the wheel of the towed vehicle.
Driving on motorways and fast roads is prohibited when towing.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, always use an ap-

proved towing bar; rope and straps are prohibited.
When towing a vehicle with the engine off, there is no longer any power assis-

tance for braking or steering.
In the following cases, you must always call on a professional recovery service:
-

vehicle broken down on a motorway or fast road,

- when it is not possible to put the gearbox into neutral, unlock the steering,

or release the parking brake,

towing with only two wheels on the ground,

where there is no approved towing bar available...

156

TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, ETC.

Driving advice

The maximum towing load on a long

slope depends on the gradient and the

outside temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant

temperature.

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, reduce

your speed.

Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking

distance.

Tyres
) Check the tyre pressures of the towing

vehicle and of the trailer, observing the

recommended pressures.

Lighting
) Check the lighting and signalling on

the trailer.

) If this message is dis-

played, stop your ve-

hicle as soon as it is

safe to do so.

If the message fl ashes slowly, wait for

the engine to cool before topping up the

level, if necessary.
If the message fl ashes rapidly, contact

a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed work-

shop without delay.

Opening of the lower tailgate is

prohibited if a towbar is being

used.

We recommend the use of gen-

uine CITROËN towbars and

their harnesses 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 or a qualifi ed work-

shop.
If the towbar is not fi

tted by a

CITROËN dealer, it is imperative

that it is fi tted using the electrical pre-

equipment located at the rear of the

vehicle and in accordance with the

manufacturer's instructions.
Driving with a trailer subjects the

towing vehicle to more signifi cant

stress and its driver must be particu-

larly careful.

Your vehicle is primarily designed for

transporting people and luggage, but it

may also be used for towing a trailer.

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 exceeding it.

Air density decreases with altitude, thus

reducing engine performance. Above

1 000 metres, the maximum towing

load must be reduced by 10 % of the

GTW and so on for every 1 000 metres

of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section for

details of the weights and towing loads

which apply to your vehicle.

FITTING ROOF BARS

Maximum authorised weight on the roof

bars, for a loading height not exceeding

40 cm (except bicycle carriers): 80 kg.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt

the speed of the vehicle to the con-

dition of the road, to avoid damaging

the roof bars and the fi xings on the

roof.
Please refer to national legislation

to comply with the regulations re-

garding the transportation of objects

which are longer than the vehicle.

Consult a CITROËN dealer or a quali-

fi ed workshop for the installation of lon-

gitudinal roof bars.
When fi tting transverse roof bars, en-

sure that they are positioned correctly

as shown by marks on the longitudinal

roof bars.

Use accessories recommended by

CITROËN and follow the accessory

manufacturer's fi tting instructions.
In order to place a load on the roof, your

vehicle must be fi tted with longitudinal

roof bars with transverse roof bars fi tted

on top of these.
The longitudinal roof bars cannot be re-

moved.
