Your vehicle’s electrical sys-
tem is designed to operate
with either standard or op-
tional equipment.
Before installing electrical equip-
ment or accessories on your vehi-
cle, consult a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
CITROËN declines all responsibil-
ity for the consequences and costs
that are caused by faults or repairs
on your vehicle resulting from the
installation of accessories that
are not supplied and/or not rec-
ommended by CITROËN and not
installed in conformity with its re-
quirements, particularly when the
total consumption of additional de-
vices exceeds 10 milliamperes.
The Maxi fuses give additional pro-
tection to electrical systems. Any
work on them must be carried out
by a CITROËN dealer or a quali-
fi ed workshop.
After a repair, carefully refi t the
cover.


If the cover is not correctly po-
sitioned or not properly closed,
this could cause serious prob-
lems on your vehicle. For the
same reason, take care not to
spill any liquid in the fusebox.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
BATTERY
Procedure for charging your battery
when it is fl at or for starting the en-
gine using another battery.

Access to the battery

V6 HDi engine

The battery is located under the bonnet.

For access to it:


)
open the bonnet using the interi-
or 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. The battery is located in the boot
under the left-hand wing trim.
For access to it:


)
open the boot,

)
open the fl ap and remove the
battery.







The presence of this label, in
particular with the Stop & Start
system, indicates the use of a
12 V lead-acid battery with special
technology and specifi cation; the
involvement of a CITROËN dealer
or a qualifi ed workshop is essential
when replacing or disconnecting
the battery.
Failure to observe this recommen-
dation may cause premature wear
of the battery.

After refi tting the battery by a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop, the Stop & Start system
will only be active after a continu-
ous 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).

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 an autho-
rised collection point.

used for more than one month.
Do not disconnect the terminals
while the engine is running.
Do not charge the batteries without
disconnecting the terminals fi rst.
Do not touch the clips during the
operation.
Do not lean over the batteries.
Disconnect the cables in the re-
verse order to connection, ensur-

before disconnecting the battery.

Following reconnection of the
battery
Following reconnection of the bat-
tery, switch on the ignition and wait
1 minute before starting to permit
initialisation of the electronic sys-
tems. However, if slight malfunctions
remain following this operation, con-
tact a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
Referring to the corresponding sec-
tion, you must yourself reinitialise:


- the remote control key,

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
ENERGY ECONOMYMODE

System which manages the duration
of use of certain functions to con-
serve a suffi cient level of charge in
the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can
still use functions such as the audio
and telematics system, windscreen
wipers, dipped headlamps, courtesy
lights, etc. for a maximum combined
duration of thirty minutes.
This period may be signifi cantly re-
duced if the battery charge is low.


Exiting economy mode

These functions are reactivated auto-
matically next time the vehicle is driven.


)
In order to resume the use of
these functions immediately, start
the engine and let it run for a few
minutes.
The time available will then be dou-
ble the duration for which the en-
gine was left running. However, this
time will always be between fi ve and
thirty minutes.

A fl at battery prevents the en-
gine from starting (refer to the
corresponding section).

TOWING THE VEHICLE

towed or for towing another vehicle
using a removable towing eye.

Access to the tools

The towing eye is installed in the
jack box placed in the spare wheel.
For access to it:


)
open the boot,

)
raise the fl oor,

)
remove the towing eye from the
jack box.



Switching to economy mode

Once the thirty minutes are over, a
message appears on the multi-function
screen indicating that the vehicle has
switched to economy mode and the
active functions are put on standby.

If the telephone is being used at this
time:


- it will be maintained for fi ve min-
utes with hands-free kit of your
Audio system,

- it will be maintained for ten minutes
with your eMyWay.
