the STOP warning
lamp. The braking system fluid level has
dropped significantly. You must stop as soon as it is safe to do so.
Top up with brake fluid recommended by CITROËN.

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 part 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
curtain airbag is deployed.
If fitted on your vehicle, do not remove the
grab handles installed on the roof, they play
a part in securing the curtain 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.

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.

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.

277Practical information

Some functions are not available if the
battery is not sufficiently charged.
Protect your eyes and face before
handling the battery.
All operations on the battery must be
carried out in a well ventilated area and
away from naked flames and sources
of sparks, so as to avoid the risk of
explosion or fire.
Do not try to charge a frozen battery;
the battery must first be thawed out to
avoid the risk of explosion. If the battery
has been frozen, before charging have
it checked by a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop who will check
that the internal components have not
been damaged and the casing is not
cracked, which could cause a leak of
toxic and corrosive acid.
Do not reverse the polarity and use
only a 12 V charger.
Do not disconnect the terminals while
the engine is running.
Do not charge the batteries without
disconnecting the terminals first.
Wash your hands after wards.

It is advisable to disconnect the battery
if the vehicle is to be left unused for
more than one month.











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.










Do not push the vehicle to start the
engine if you have an electronic or
automatic gearbox.

The system is protected in such a way that it will only
operate in your vehicle.

QUESTION



ANSWER



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 forces the
streaming function. The streaming function takes the place of the USB
function which is then not useable, there is a period without sound of the
track being played with Apple
® players. Disconnect and reconnect to the USB port
(the USB function takes priority over streaming).
When I connect my
Apple
® player or my
BlackBerry ® to the
USB port, I have alert
messages on the current
consumption by the USB
port. When charging, the current consumption of these smartphones is greater
than the rating of the USB port, which is 500mA.

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