Removing a wheel
Parking the vehicle

not block traffic: the ground must be
level, stable and non-slippery ground.
Apply the parking brake unless it has
been programmed to automatic mode,
switch off the ignition and engage first
gear * to lock the wheels.
Check that the braking warning lamps
in the instrument panel are on (not
flashing).
The occupants must get out of the
vehicle and wait where they are safe.
If necessary, place a chock under the
wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to
be changed.
Never go underneath a vehicle raised
using a jack; use an axle stand.
List of operations
Remove the chromed bolt cover from each
of the bolts using the tool 3
(according to
equipment).
Fit the security socket 4
on the
wheelbrace 1
to slacken the security bolt.
Slacken the other bolts using the
wheelbrace 1
only.

269Practical information
Installing electrical
accessories
Your vehicle's electrical system is
designed to operate with standard or
optional equipment.
Before installing other electrical
equipment or accessories on your
vehicle, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
CITROËN will not accept responsibility
for the cost incurred in repairing your
vehicle or for rectifying malfunctions
resulting from the installation of
accessories not supplied and not
recommended by CITROËN and
not installed in accordance with its
instructions, in particular when the
combined consumption of all of the
additional equipment connected
exceeds 10 milliamperes.
Before changing a fuse:
the cause of the failure must be identified
and rectified,
all electrical consumers must b switched
off,
the vehicle must be immobilised with the
ignition off,
identify the failed fuse using the tables and
layout drawings in the following pages.
Changing a fuse
Good
Failed
The replacement of a fuse not shown in
the tables below may cause a serious
malfunction of your vehicle. Contact
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
Tw e e z e r
To replace a fuse, you must:
use the special tweezer to extract the fuse
from its housing and check the condition of
its filament,
always replace the failed fuse with a fuse
of the same rating (same colour); using a
different rating could cause faults (risk of
fire).
If the fuse fails again soon after replacement,
have the vehicle's electrical system checked by
a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

12 V battery
The battery is located under the bonnet.
For access to the (+) terminal:
release the bonnet using the interior lever,
then the exterior safety catch,
raise the bonnet and secure it with its stay,
lift the plastic cover for access to the (+)
terminal.
Access to the battery
After refitting the battery, the Stop &
Start 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 & Start 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.
Before doing any work
Immobilise the vehicle: apply the
parking brake, put the gearbox in
neutral, then switch off the ignition.
Check that all electrical equipment is
switched off.
Procedure for starting the engine using another
battery or charging a discharged battery.

275Practical information
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
(or earth point on the other
vehicle).
Connect the other end of the green or black
cable to the earth point C
on the broken
down vehicle (or on the engine mounting).
Start the engine of the vehicle with the
good battery and leave it running for a
few minutes.
Operate the starter on the broken down
vehicle and let the engine run
.
If the engine does not star t straight away,
switch off the ignition and wait a few
moments before trying again.
Wait until the engine returns to idle then
disconnect the jump lead cables in the
reverse order.
Starting using another
battery
When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the
engine can be started using a slave battery
(external or on another vehicle) and jump lead
cables.
First check that the slave battery has a
nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity
at least equal to that of the discharged
battery.
Do not try to start the engine by
connecting a battery charger.
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal when
the engine is running.
Before disconnecting the battery
Wait 2 minutes after switching off the ignition
before disconnecting the battery.
Close the windows and the doors before
disconnecting the battery.

Charging the battery using
a battery charger
Disconnect the battery from the vehicle.
Follow the instructions for use provided by
the manufacturer of the charger.
Connect the battery 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.
With Stop & Start, the battery does not
have to be disconnected for charging.
Reinitialisation after
reconnection
After any reconnection of the battery, switch on
the ignition and wait at least one minute before
starting, to allow time for the initialisation of the
electronic systems.
By referring to the corresponding sections, you
should set or initialise the following systems
yourself:
- one-touch electric windows,
- time and date,
- audio and navigation system settings.
Check that no alert message or
warning lamp comes on after switching
on the ignition.
However, if minor problems persist
after carrying out these operations,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Position the open clamp E
of the cable on
the positive post (+) of the battery.
Press down on the clamp to position it
correctly on the battery post.
Lock the clamp by lowering the lever D
.
Reconnecting the (+)
terminal
Disconnecting the (+)
terminal
Raise the lever D
fully to release the clamp E
.
Do not force the lever as locking will not
be possible if the clamp is not positioned
correctly; start the procedure again.
