PRACTICAL INFORMATION

Wheel for temporary use

Your vehicle may be fi tted with a
spare wheel which is different to
those on the vehicle. When fi tting
the spare wheel, it is normal to no-
tice that the wheel bolt washers do
not come into contact with the wheel
rim. The spare wheel is secured by
the conical tapering of the wheel
bolt’s shaft.
When refi tting the original wheel, en-
sure that the wheel bolt contact surfac-
es are clean and in good condition.


Fitting a wheel



)
Fit the wheel on the hub, using
the centring guide. Make sure
that the contact surface between
the hub and the wheel is clean.

)
Screw in the bolts but do not fully
tighten them.

)
Lower the jack and remove it.

)
Tighten the wheel bolts, using
the wheelbrace.

)
Refi t the protectors on the bolts.

)
Return the ground clearance to
the normal position.

)
Ensure the tyre pressure is cor-
rect and have the balancing
checked.



Under-inflation detection

These wheels have tyre pressure
sensors. Repairs must be carried
out by a CITROËN dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.


Security bolts (according to
version)
Each wheel is equipped with one se-
curity bolt.
To remove it:


)

Remove the protector using tool 3
.


)
Use the security socket with the
wheelbrace.

If your vehicle is fi tted with a
spare wheel of a different size
to those on the vehicle, you
must not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h)
whilst using the spare wheel.
The wheel bolts are specifi c to the
type of wheel.
If the type of wheel is changed,
check with your CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop that the
wheel bolts are compatible with the
new wheels.
Take care to note down the code
number engraved on the head of
the security bolt socket. This will
enable you to obtain a replace-
ment security bolt socket from your
dealer.

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 terminals
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, ensur-
ing 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 or a qualifi ed
workshop.
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 neg-
ative terminal (-).

connectors are clean. If they are
covered with sulphate (whitish or
greenish deposit), remove them
and clean them.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION





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 tting of the
towbar is entrusted to a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop.
If the towbar is not fi tted by a
CITROËN dealer, it is impera-
tive that it is fi tted in accordance
with the vehicle manufacturer's in-
structions.
Driving with a trailer places greater
demands 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 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.

Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.
To avoid overheating of the brakes
on a long mountain type of descent,
the use of engine braking is recom-
mended.

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.




)
If the warning lamp and
the STOP
warning lamp
come on, stop the vehicle
and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
