For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the following safety rules:

Front airbags

Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its
spokes or resting your hands on the centre
part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
dashboard.
If possible, do not smoke as deployment of
the airbags can cause burns or the risk of
injury from a cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or
hit it violently.




Lateral airbags

Use only approved covers on the seats,
compatible with the deployment the lateral
airbags. For information on the range of seat
covers suitable for your vehicle, you can
contact a CITROËN dealer (see "Practical
information - § Accessories").
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backs (clothing...). This could cause injury
to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is
deployed.
Do not sit with the upper par t of the body any
nearer to the door than necessary.


Curtain airbags

Do not fix or attach anything to the roof.
This could cause injury to the head if the
cur tain airbag is deployed.
If fitted on your vehicle, do not remove the
grab handles installed on the roof, they play
a par t in securing the cur tain airbags.
Sit in a normal upright position.
Wear a correctly adjusted seat belt.
Do not leave anything between the occupants
and the airbags (a child, pet, object...). This
could hamper the operation of the airbags or
injure the occupants.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the airbag
systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must be carried
out by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned
are obser ved, a risk of injury or of minor
burns to the head, chest or arms when an
airbag is deployed cannot be ruled out. The
bag inflates almost instantly (within a few
milliseconds) then deflates within the same
time discharging the hot gas via openings
provided for this purpose.

269Practical 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,

)
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


After refitting the battery, 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.


Reconnecting the cables



)
Position the open clip 1
of 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 lowering the tab 2
.
Do not force the tab as locking will not
be possible if the clip is not positioned
correctly; start the procedure again.

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

)
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 ear th point C
on the broken
down vehicle.

)
Operate the starter, let the engine run.

)
Wait until the engine returns to idle and
disconnect the cables.



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 a special collection point.


)
Disconnect the battery from the vehicle.

)
Follow the instructions for use provided by
the manufacturer of the charger.

)
Reconnect starting with the negative
terminal (-).

)
Check that the terminals and connectors
are clean. If they are covered with sulphate
(whitish or greenish deposit), remove them
and clean them.
The Stop & Star t battery does not have
to be disconnected for charging.
It is advisable to disconnect the battery
if the vehicle is to be left unused for
more than one month.

SOLUTION


With the engine off, the
system switches off after
a few minutes of use. When the engine is switched off, the system's operating time depends on
the battery charge.
The switch-off is normal: the system 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.
Playback of my USB
memory stick starts only
after a very long wait
(around 2 to 3 minutes). Some fi les supplied with the memory stick may greatly slow down access
to reading the memory stick (multiplication by 10 of the catalogue time). Delete the fi les supplied with the memory stick
and limit the number of sub-folders in the fi le
structure on the memory stick.
When I connect my
iPhone as telephone and
to the USB port at the
same time, I am unable
to play the music fi les. When the iPhone connects automatically as a telephone, it is possible that it
connects streaming and telephone functions simultaneously. The streaming
function takes the place of the USB function which is then not useable. Two possible solutions (depending on the iPhone):


- disconnect then reconnect the USB
connection (the USB function then takes the
place of the streaming function),

- go to the "Bluetooth functions"\"List of the
paired peripherals" menu, disconnect the
iPhone then reconnect it in "Hands-free
mode" only.

The system is coded in such a way that it will only

vehicle, contact your CITROËN dealer for confi guration

ANSWER



SOLUTION


A telephone connects
automatically,
disconnecting another
telephone. Automatic connection overrides manual connection. Modify the telephone settings to remove automatic
connection.
An iPod is not recognised
when connecting to the
USB port. The iPod is of a generation that is not compatible with the USB. Connect the iPod to the AUX Jack socket using a
suitable cable (not supplied).
The hard disk or device
is not recognised when
connecting to the USB
port. Some hard disks and devices need a power supply greater than is
provided by the audio system. Connect the device to the 230 V socket, the 12 V
socket or an external power supply.

Caution
: ensure that the device does not transmit
a voltage greater than 5 V (risk of destruction of
the system).

When streaming, the sound
cuts momentarily. Some telephones prioritise connection of the "hands-free" profi le. Delete the "hands-free" connection profi le
to improve streaming.
In "Random all" play,
not all of the tracks are
played. In "Random all" play, the system can only take into account up
to 999 tracks.
With the engine off, the
audio system switches
off after a few minutes
of use. When the engine is switched off, the audio system operating time
depends on the battery charge.
The switch-off is normal: the audio system switches to economy mode
and switches off to prevent discharging 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 system 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.
