Brake pads Brake wear depends on
the style of driving, par-
ticularly in the case of ve-
hicles used in town, over
short distances. It may be
necessary to have the condition of
the brakes checked, even between
vehicle services.
Unless there is a leak in the circuit, a
drop in the brake fl uid level indicates
that the brake pads are worn.
Manual gearbox
The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance (no
oil change).
Automatic gearbox The gearbox does not re-
quire any maintenance
(no oil change). Brake disc wear status
For information relating to
checking the brake disc
wear status, contact a
CITROËN dealer.
Handbrake If the handbrake travel is
too long or if a loss of ef-
fectiveness of this system
is noticed, the handbrake
must be adjusted, even
between two services.
This system must be checked by a
CITROËN dealer. Only use products recom-
mended by CITROËN or
products of equivalent qual-
ity and specifi cations.
In order to optimise the operation
of units as important as the braking
system, CITROËN selects and of-
fers very specifi c products.
To avoid damaging the electrical
units, the use of a high pressure
washer in the engine compartment
is strictly prohibited .
Refer to the Maintenance and
Warranty Guide for the details of the
checking interval for this component.

Your vehicle’s electrical
system is designed to oper-
ate with either standard or
optional 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.

After a repair, take care to re-
close the cover.

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.

BATTERY
Procedure for charging your battery
when it is fl at or for starting the en-
gine using another battery. Starting using another
battery
Access to the battery V6 HDi engine
The battery is located under the
bonnet.
To gain access to it:

 open the bonnet using the inte-
rior lever, then the exterior lever,

 secure the bonnet strut,

 remove the plastic cover to gain
access to the two terminals,

 unclip the fuse box to remove
the battery, if necessary. The battery is located in the boot un-
der the left-hand wing trim.
To gain access to it:

 open the boot,

 open the fl ap and remove the
battery.
 Lift the pins to remove the front
left headlamp cover (V6 HDi en-
gine).

 Connect the red cable to the posi-
tive terminal (+) of the fl at bat-
tery A , then to the positive terminal
(+) of the slave battery B .

 Connect one end of the green or
black cable to the negative ter-
minal (-) of the slave battery B .
V6 HDi engine: The negative ter- minal (-) is located under the red
cover.

 Connect the other end of the
green or black cable to the earth
point C on the broken down ve-
hicle.

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
display 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
reduced if the battery charge is low. Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated au-
tomatically 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 engine
was left running. However, this time
will always be between fi ve and thir-
ty minutes.
A fl at battery prevents the
engine from starting (refer
to the corresponding para-
graph).

TOWING A TRAILER, A CARAVAN, ETC.
Towbar suited to the attachment of a
trailer or caravan with additional sig-
nalling and lighting.
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 original
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
imperative that it is fi tted
using the electrical pre-equipment
installed at the rear of the vehicle,
in accordance with the manufactur-
er's instructions.
Driving with a trailer subjects the
towing vehicle to more signifi cant
stress and its driver must be par-
ticularly careful.
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
towing load must be reduced by
10 % and so on for every 1 000 me-
tres of altitude.
Refer to the "Technical Data" section
for details of the weights and towing
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 towing load on a long
slope depends on the gradient and
the outside temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the
coolant temperature.

 If the warning light and
the STOP warning light
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.
Lights

 Check the electrical signalling on
the trailer.
The rear parking assistance will
be deactivated automatically if an
original CITROËN towbar is used.
