tilt the backrest 2
slightly forwards, )
pull the head restraint upwards to the stop, )

Rear head restraints
Never drive with the head restraintsremoved; they must be in place and correctly adjusted.
Fan cooling of the high voltage battery
This system does not work continuously,
but adapts the force of the fan cooling to the
requirements of the battery.
Its operation can be heard at the rear, even if
the vehicle is stopped after a run.
If the air intake is blocked, the batter
y mayoverheat, damaging the battery and causing a
loss of performance of the hybrid system.
For the best use of the high voltage battery, please follow these recommendations: - do not obstruct the air intake with loose ar ticles, other wise, the battery may overheat, causing a loss of performance of the hybrid system- do not spill fluids, as this may cause damage to the battery.
The high voltage battery has an air cooling system, comprising an air intake
(located on the side of the left hand rear seat) and a fan (located behind the lefthand boot trim panel).

Driving
Emergency braking
In the event of a failure of the main servicebrake or in an exceptional situation (e.g. driver
taken ill, under instruction, etc) a continuouspull on the control lever A will stop the vehicle.
The Dynamic Stability Control system provides stability during emergency braking.
If the emer
gency braking malfunctions,
a message is displayed.
Emergency release
) Take the vehicle blocks and the release
device, located under the boot carpet.
) On sloping ground, secure the vehicle byplacing chocks in front or behind the front
wheels, on the falling side of the slope. In the event of the electric parkin
g brake
malfunctioning or the battery running flat, an
emergency manual device can release theparking brake. ) Immobilise the vehicle and with the hybridsystem active, place the gear selector inposition M
or R. )
Switch off the engine then switch the
ignition back on (press the STA R T/STOP switch twice). If it is impossible to
immobilise the vehicle, do not operate the
control and contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop urgently.
The emergency braking must only be used in exceptional circumstances.
If a failure of the DSC system is
signalled by the illumination of this warning lamp, then braking stability isnot guaranteed.
In this event, stability must be assured by the
driver by repeating alternate "pull-release" actions on the control lever A.
Page 128 of 358
For safety reasons, you must contact a
CITROËN dealer as soon as possible to replace the protective cover. Ta k e care not to allow moisture or dust in the proximity of the protective cover.
Following an emergency unlocking, immobilisation of the vehicle is no longer guaranteed once the manualemergency release has been deployed and the manual control does not allow the re-application of your parking brake. Take no action, either on the controllever A, or stopping or star ting the engine while the release device is engaged.
To r e - e ngage the electric parking brake(after correction of the fault or battery problem), make a long pull on the control lever A
until the parking brake warning lamp in the instrument panel flashes then make a second long pulluntil this warning lamp comes on fixed. Front left seat moved back full
y.
)Slide the front left-hand seat back as far aspossible. )Raise the pre-cut zone B in the carpetunder the seat. )Pierce the protective cover Con the tube Dwith the release device (located in the boot). )Place the release device in the tube D. )Turn the release device clockwisemaking several dozen turnsFor safety reasons, it is essential
tocontinue turning the device as far as it will
go. The parking brake is released.
)
Remove the release device and stow it. )
The operation of the parking brake
reinitialises after the ignition is switched off
then on again. If the reinitialisation of the
parking brake proves impossible, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. ) The (subsequent) time required for
application may be longer than during
normal operation.

151Visibility
Lighting left on audible signal
An audible signal when a front door
is opened warns the driver that the vehicle's exterior lighting is on, with theignition off and in manual lighting mode.
In this case, switching off the lighting stops the audible signal.
With the ignition off, if the dipped headlamps remain on, the vehicle goes into "ECO" mode to avoid discharging the battery.
In some weather conditions (e.g. low temperature or humidity), the presence of misting on the internal sur face of theglass of the headlamps and rear lampsis normal; it disappears after the lamps have been on for a few minutes.
The daytime runninglamps can be activated and deactivated via the configuration menu.
The lighting goes off when you switchoff the ignition, but you can always switch it on again using the lighting control stalk.
Daytime running lamps
(LEDs)
They come on when the engine is star ted.
Depending on the country of sale or whererequired by regulations, they are used for:
- daytime running lamps in day mode andsidelamps in night mode (they are brighter
when daytime running lamps), or
- sidelamps in day and night mode.

12 V battery
The presence of this label indicatesthe use of a 12 V lead-acid battery withspecial technology and specification, for which the involvement of a CITROËN dealer or qualified workshop is requiredwhen replacing or disconnecting thebattery.
Failure to observe this recommendation may cause premature wear of thebattery. The battery is located under the bonnet.
To
gain access to it: )
open the bonnet using the interior releaselever, then the exterior safety catch, )
remove the plastic cover on the (+) terminal,
)
if necessary, unclip the fusebox to remove
the battery.
Access to the battery
)Raise the locking tab Dfully to release the cable terminal clamp E
.
Reconnecting the (+) cable
)Position the open clamp Eof the cable on
the positive post (+) of the battery. )Press ver tically on the clamp E
to position
it correctly on the battery. )Lock the clamp by spreading the positioning lug and then lowering the tab D.
Do not apply excessive force on thetab as locking will not be possible if the clamp is not positioned correctly; star tthe procedure again.
Before doing any work on your vehicle,
switch off the ignition ( Ready
lamp off)to avoid any risk of injury resulting fromautomatic operation of the engine. Y
our vehicle is fitted with a conventional 12 V
battery, located under the bonnet, in addition
to the hi
gh voltage battery used by the hybrid system.
In cer tain conditions, if the 12 V battery is
too discharged to activate the hybrid system, recharging from another conventional 12 V battery is possible.
Do not carry out this recharge if the Readylamp is on. Procedure
for star ting the engine using another battery or charging a discharged battery.
