

Wait until the engine returns to idle

and disconnect the cables.

Charging the battery using a
battery charger

The Stop & Start battery does

not have to be disconnected for

charging.



Disconnect the battery from the ve-

hicle.



Follow the instructions for use pro-

vided by the manufacturer of the

charger.



Reconnect starting with the nega-

tive terminal (-).



Check that the terminals and connec-

tors are clean. If they are covered with

sulphate (whitish or greenish deposit),

remove them and clean them.

It is advisable to disconnect the

battery if the vehicle is to be left

unused for more than one month.

Batteries contain harmful sub-

stances such as sulphuric acid

and lead. They must be dis-

posed of in accordance with

regulations and must not, in any

circumstances, be discarded

with household waste.

Take used remote control bat-

teries and vehicle batteries to a

special collection point.

Do not disconnect the terminals

while the engine is running.

Do not charge the batteries with-

out disconnecting the terminals

ﬁ rst.

Do not push the vehicle to start

the engine if your vehicle is ﬁ tted

with a "SensoDrive" gearbox.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

If the telephone is being used at

the same time on the MyWay au-

dio navigation system, it will be

interrupted after 10 minutes.

A ﬂ at battery prevents the engine

from starting (refer to the corre-

sponding paragraph).

ENERGY ECONOMY MODE

System which manages the period of

use of certain functions to conserve a

sufﬁ cient level of charge in the battery.

After the engine has stopped, you can

still use functions such as the audio

equipment, windscreen wipers, dipped

beam headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc.

for a maximum combined period of

thirty minutes.

Switching to economy mode

Once this period has elapsed, a mes-

sage appears on the multifunction

screen indicating that the vehicle has

switched to economy mode and the ac-

tive functions are put on standby.

Exiting economy mode

These functions are reactivated auto-

matically the next time the vehicle is

driven.


In order to resume the use of these

functions immediately, start the en-

gine and let it run for a few minutes.

The time available to you will then be

double the period for which the engine is

left running. However, this period will al-

ways be between ﬁ ve and thirty minutes.

This period may be greatly re-

duced if the battery is not fully

charged.

LOAD REDUCTION MODE

System which manages the use of cer-

tain functions according to the level of

charge remaining in the battery.

When the vehicle is being driven, the load

reduction function temporarily deactivates

certain functions, such as the air condi-

tioning, the heated rear screen...

The deactivated functions are reactivat-

ed automatically as soon as conditions

permit.

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

battery, switch on the ignition

and wait 1 minute before start-

ing to permit initialisation of the

electronic systems. However,

if minor problems persist fol-

lowing this operation, contact a

CITROËN dealer or a qualiﬁ ed

workshop.

Referring to the corresponding

section, you should yourself re-

initialise:

- the remote control key,

- the GPS satellite navigation

system.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

We recommend the use of genu-

ine CITROËN towbars and their

harnesses that have been tested

and approved from the design

stage of your vehicle, and that

the ﬁ tting of the towbar is en-

trusted to a CITROËN dealer or

a qualiﬁ ed workshop.

If the trailer is not ﬁ tted by a

CITROËN dealer, it is imperative

that it is ﬁ tted using the vehicle's

electrical pre-equipment, in ac-

cordance with the manufactur-

er's instructions.

TOWING A TRAILER,
A CARAVAN, ETC.

The rear parking sensors will

be deactivated automatically if

a genuine CITROËN towbar is

used.

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.

Driving with a trailer places greater de-

mands on the towing vehicle 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 exceeding 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, reduce

your speed.

The maximum towed load on a long in-

cline 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 braking

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.
