SPECIAL FEATURES
OF ALLOY WHEELS
Fitting the spare wheel
If your vehicle is equipped with a
steel spare wheel, when fi tting it, it is
normal
to notice that the bolt wash-
ers do not come into contact with the
rim. The spare wheel is secured by
the cone-shape of each bolt.
Fitting snow tyres
If you fi t snow tyres that are mounted
on steel rims onto your vehicle, it is
essential
that you use special bolts
available from your CITROËN dealer.
* According to model and country.
ANTI-THEFT BOLT *
If your wheels are fi tted with an anti-
theft bolt (one per wheel), it must be
unscrewed using an anti-theft socket
(which was given to you on delivery
of your vehicle along with the dupli-
cate keys and the confi dential card)
and the wheelbrace.
Note:
make a careful note of the
code number engraved on the top of
the anti-theft socket. This will enable
you to obtain a duplicate anti-theft
socket from your
CITROËN dealer.

ECONOMY MODE FUNCTION
After the engine has stopped, with
the key in the "accessories" position,
certain functions (windscreen wiper,
electric windows, courtesy lights,
audio equipment, etc.) can only be
used for a combined duration of ap-
proximately thirty minutes, to prevent
discharging the battery.
Once the thirty minutes are over, a
switching to economy mode mes-
sage appears on the multi-function
display and the active functions are
put on standby.
These functions are reactivated au-
tomatically next time the vehicle is
driven.
In order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, the engine
must be started and left to run for a
few minutes.
The time available to you will then
be double the duration for which the
engine is left running. However, this
period will always be between fi ve
and thirty minutes.
BATTERY
It is advisable to disconnect the
battery if the vehicle is not to be
used for a period of more than
one month.
Before disconnecting the bat-
tery, you must wait 2 minutes
after switching off the ignition.
Never disconnect a terminal
when the engine is running.
Never charge a battery without fi rst
disconnecting the terminals.
Close the windows and the roof before
disconnecting the battery.
After every reconnection of the bat-
tery, switch on the ignition and wait
1 minute before starting to allow the
electronic systems to be initialised. If
slight diffi culties are experienced af-
ter this, please contact a CITROËN
dealer.
A fl at battery prevents the
engine from starting.
To start the vehicle from
another battery:
- Connect the red cable to the posi-
tive (+) terminals of the two bat-
teries,
- Connect one end of the green or
black cable to the negative (-) ter-
minal of the slave battery,
- Connect the other end of the
green or black cable to an earth
point on the broken down vehi-
cle as far as possible from the
battery (for example, right-hand
engine mounting).
Operate the starter, let the engine run.
Wait for the engine to return to idle,
then disconnect the cables.
To charge the battery using a
battery charger:
- Disconnect the battery,
- Follow the instructions for use
given by the battery charger man-
ufacturer,
- Reconnect starting with the nega-
tive (-) terminal,
- Check that the terminals and
connectors are clean. If they are
covered with sulphate (white or
greenish deposit), disconnect
them and clean them.
