Th
e tools are installed in the boot under the floor.
Access to the tools
List of tools
All of these tools are specific to your vehicle and can vary according to the level of equipment.
Do not use them for other purposes.1. Wheelbrace.
For removing the wheel trim and removingthe wheel bolts. 2.Jack with integral handle.
For raising the vehicle.3."Bolt cover" tool.
For removing the bolt protectors (covers)
on alloy wheels.4. Wheel trim remover.
For removing the alloy wheel finishers.
5. Socket for the security bolts (located in
the glove box).
For adapting the wheelbrace to the special"security" bolts.
6.Wheel chocks for blocking the vehicle's
wheels.7. Towing eye.
See "Towing the vehicle". 8.Extension spanner.
For slackening/tightening the spare wheelcarrier nut. 9. Emergency release control for the electric parking brake.
See the "Electric parking brake" section, "Emergency braking".
Tyre under-infl ation detection
The spare wheel is not fitted with a sensor. The punctured wheel must berepaired by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Before doing any work on your vehicle,switch off the ignition ( Ready
lamp off)to avoid any risk of injury resulting fromautomatic operation of the engine.

For H7 type bulbs with lugs... take care to observe their correct installationso as to ensure the best lighting performance.
In some weather conditions (e.g. low temperature or humidity),the presence of misting on the internal surface of the glass of the headlampsand rear lamps is normal; it disappearsafter the lamps have been on for afew minutes.
Risk of electrocution
Xenon bulbs (D1S-35W) must bereplaced by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Before doing any work on your vehicle, switch off the ignition (Ready

12 V battery Procedure for charging your battery when it is flat or for starting the engine using another battery.
The presence of this label indicatesthe use of a 12 V lead-acid battery withspecial technology and specification, for which the involvement of a CITROËN dealer or qualified workshop is requiredwhen replacing or disconnecting thebattery.
Failure to observe this recommendation may cause premature wear of thebattery. The battery is located under the bonnet.
To
gain access to it: )
open the bonnet using the interior releaselever, then the exterior safety catch, )
remove the plastic cover to gain access to
the two terminals, ) unclip the fusebox to remove the battery,
if necessary.
Access to the battery
)Raise the locking tab fully.
Disconnecting the cables
Reconnectin
g the cables
)Position the open clip 1of the cable on the
positive terminal (+) of the battery. )Press ver tically on the clip 1
to position it correctly against the battery. )Lock the clip by spreading the positioning lug and then lowering the tab 2.
Do not force the tab as locking will not be possible if the clip is not positionedcorrectly; star t the procedure again.
Before doing any work on your vehicle,switch off the ignition ( Ready
lamp off)to avoid any risk of injury resulting fromautomatic operation of the engine. Y
our vehicle is fitted with a conventional 12 Vbattery, located under the bonnet, in addition
to the high voltage battery used by the hybrid
system.
In cer tain conditions, if the 12 V batter
y is
too discharged to activate the hybrid system, recharging from another conventional 12 V
battery is possible.
Do not carry out this recharge if the Readylamp is on.

The batteries contain harmful substances such as sulphuric acid and lead. They must be disposed of inaccordance with regulations and must not, in any circumstances, be discarded with household waste.
Take used remote control batteriesand vehicle batteries to a special collection point.
Do not reverse the polarity and use only a 12 V charger.
Do not disconnect the terminals whilethe engine is running.
Do not charge the batteries without disconnecting the terminals first.
Do not push the vehicle to star t the engine if it is fitted with the 6 -speed electronic gearbox.
It is advisable to disconnect the battery if the vehicle is to be left unused for more than one month.
Following reconnectionof the battery
Following reconnection of the battery, switch
on the ignition and wait 1 minute before star tingto permit initialisation of the electronic systems.However, if problems remain following this
operation, contact a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section, you
must yourself reinitialise:
- the remote control key,
- the panoramic sunroof blind,
- the
GPS satellite navigation system.
Load reduction mode
System which manages the use of certainfunctions according to the level of charge
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates cer tain functions, such as the air conditioning,
the heated rear screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.
Do not attempt to charge the highvoltage battery.
Before disconnecting the battery
Wait 2 minutes after switching off the ignitionbefore disconnecting the battery.
Close the windows and the doors beforedisconnecting the battery.
