For your safety, always
change a wheel:
- on level, stable and non slippery
ground,
- with the handbrake applied,
- with fi rst or reverse gear en-
gaged,
- with the vehicle chocked,
- making absolutely sure that the
occupants get out of the vehicle
and wait in a safe location.
Never go underneath the vehicle
when it is raised using the jack only.
The jack and the tool kit are specifi c
to your vehicle. Do not use them for
other purposes.
Refitting the wheel
- After positioning the wheel, lightly
pre-tighten the bolts using the
wheelbrace.
-
Compress the jack and release it.
- Fully tighten the bolts using the
wheelbrace.
- Replace the trim, starting at the
valve passage hole, and press it
on using the palm of the hand.
Replacing the wheel in the
carrier
- Replace the chock 2
in the wheel.
- Replace the wheel in the carrier.
- Lift the wheel then the carrier and
reposition the hook.
- Do not forget to fully tighten the
spare wheel carrier retaining bolt.
-
Stow the wheelbrace 1
and the jack.
After changing the wheel
- Have the tightening of the bolts
and the pressure of the spare tyre
checked as soon as possible by a
CITROËN dealer.
- Have the punctured tyre repaired
and replace it on the vehicle as
soon as possible.

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.

TOWING A TRAILER,CARAVAN, BOAT, ETC.
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 tting of the
towbar is entrusted to a CITROËN
dealer.
If the towbar 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 man-
ufacturer's instructions.
Your vehicle is primarily designed
for transporting people and luggage
but it may also be used for towing a
trailer.
Driving with a trailer subjects the tow-
ing vehicle to more signifi cant stress
and its driver must be particularly
careful.
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 metres of
altitude.
Driving advice
Tyres:
Check the tyre pressures of
the towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing the recommended pres-
sures.
Braking:
Towing increases the braking
distance.
Lights:
Check the electrical signalling
on the trailer.
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.
On the contrary, use a high gear to
lower the engine speed and reduce
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.
In certain cases of particularly ardu-
ous use (towing the maximum load on
a steep gradient in high temperatures),
switching off the air conditioning permits
the recovery of engine power and there-
fore an increase in the towing capacity.
If the warning light comes on, stop
the vehicle and switch off the engine
as soon as possible.
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 approach-
es the maximum permitted without
exceeding it.
