217Practical information











Battery
Procedure for charging your battery when it is flat or for starting the engine using another battery.
The battery is located under the bonnet.
To gain access to it:


)
open the bonnet using the interior release
lever, then the exterior safety catch,

)
secure the bonnet stay,

)
lift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal.



Access to the battery



)
Connect the red cable to the positive
terminal (+) of the flat battery A
, then to the
positive terminal (+) of the slave battery B
.


Starting using another
battery

After refitting the battery by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop, the Stop & Star t system
will only be active after a continuous
period of immobilisation of the vehicle,
a period which depends on the climatic
conditions and the state of charge of
the battery (up to about 8 hours).





The presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Star t system, indicates
the use of a 12 V lead-acid battery with
special technology and specification;
the involvement of a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop is essential
when replacing or disconnecting the
battery.
Failure to obser ve this recommendation
may cause premature wear of
the battery.

)
Connect one end of the green or black
cable to the negative terminal (-) of the
slave battery B
.

)
Connect the other end of the green or black
cable to the remote negative terminal (-) of
your vehicle.

219Practical information








Energy economy mode
System which manages the period of use of cer tain functions to conser ve a sufficient level of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can still use functions such as the audio equipment, windscreen wipers, dipped beam headlamps, cour tesy
lamps, etc. for a maximum combined period of thirty minutes.
This period may be greatly reduced if
the battery is not fully charged.
A flat battery prevents the engine from
starting (refer to the corresponding
paragraph). If the telephone is being used at
the same time on the MyWay audio
navigation system, it will be interrupted
after 10 minutes.


Switching to economy mode

Once this period has elapsed, a message
appears on the multifunction screen indicating
that the vehicle has switched to economy mode
and the active functions are put on standby.

Exiting economy mode

These functions are reactivated automatically
the next time the vehicle is driven.


)
In order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, star t the engine and
let it run for a few minutes.
The time available to you will then be double
the period for which the engine is left running.
However, this period will always be between
five and thir ty minutes.

TRIP COMPUTER/VEHICLE PARAMETERS


TRIP COMPUTER

Press the MODE button several
times in succession until the trip
computer is displayed.
Range:
displays the distance which can travelled with the
remaining fuel detected in the tank, based on the average fuel
consumption over the last few miles (kilometres).
This displayed value may vary signifi cantly following a change in
the vehicle speed or the relief of the route.
When the range falls below 20 miles (30 km), dashes are
displayed. After fi lling with at least 5 litres of fuel, the range is
recalculated and is displayed when it exceeds 60 miles (100 km).
If, whilst driving, dashes are displayed continuously in place of the
digits, contact a CITROËN dealer.

Each press of the button at the end of the wiper stalk displays
the different trip computer information in succession, according to
the screen.



A FEW DEFINITIONS



- The "vehicle" tab:
The range, the current fuel
consumption and the distance
remaining or the Stop & Start
time counter.

- The "1" (trip 1) tab with :
The average speed, the average
fuel consumption and the
distance travelled calculated
over trip "1".

- The "2" (trip 2) tab with the same
functions for a second trip.
Current fuel consumption:
only calculated and displayed above
20 mph (30 km/h).

Average fuel consumption:
this is the average fuel consumption
since the last trip computer zero reset.

Distance travelled:
calculated since the last trip computer zero
reset.

Distance remaining to the destination:
calculated with reference
to the fi nal destination, entered by the user. If guidance is activated,
the navigation system calculates it as a current value.

Average speed:
this is the average speed calculated since the last
trip computer zero reset (ignition on).







Stop & Start time counter
(minutes/seconds or hours/minutes)
If your vehicle is fi tted with Stop & Start, a time counter calculates
the time spent in STOP mode during a journey.
It resets to zero every time the ignition is switched on with the key.

Each press of the button, located at the end of
the wiper stalk, displays the different trip computer
information in succession, depending on the screen.


- the "vehicle " tab with:


●
the range, the current fuel consumption and the distance remaining
to the destination or the Stop & Start time counter,

- the "1" tab (trip 1) with:


●
the average speed, the average consumption and the distance
travelled calculated over trip " 1
",

- the "2" tab (trip 2) with the same information for a second trip.

QUESTION



ANSWER



SOLUTION


The stored stations do
not function (no sound,
87.5 Mhz is displayed...). An incorrect waveband is selected. Press the BAND AST button to return to the
waveband (AM, FM1, FM2, FMAST) on which
the stations are stored.
The traffi c announcement
(TA) is displayed. I do
not receive any traffi c
information. The radio station is not part of the regional traffi c information network. Tune to a radio station which broadcasts traffi c
information.
The quality of reception
of the radio station
listened to gradually
deteriorates or the stored
stations do not function
(no sound, 87.5 Mhz is
displayed...). The vehicle is too far from the transmitter used by the station listened to
or there is no transmitter in the geographical area through which
the vehicle is travelling. Activate the RDS function to enable the system
to check whether there is a more powerful
transmitter in the geographical area.
The environment (hills, buildings, tunnels, basement car parks...)
block reception, including in RDS mode. This phenomenon is normal and does not indicate
a failure of the audio equipment.
The aerial is absent or has been damaged (for example when going
through a car wash or into an underground car park). Have the aerial checked by a CITROËN dealer.
Sound cut-outs of 1 to
2 seconds in radio mode. During this brief sound cut-out, the RDS searches for any frequency
permitting better reception of the station. Deactivate the RDS function if the phenomenon is
too frequent and always on the same route.
With the engine off,
the audio equipment
switches off after a few
minutes of use. When the engine is switched off, the audio equipment operating time
depends on the battery charge.
The switch-off is normal: the audio equipment switches to economy mode
and switches off to prevent discharging of the vehicle's battery. Start the vehicle's engine to increase the battery
charge.
The message "the audio
system is overheated"
appears on the display. In order to protect the installation if the surrounding temperature is too
high, the audio equipment switches to an automatic thermal protection
mode leading to a reduction of the volume or stopping of the playing of
the CD. Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to
allow the system to cool.
