Access to the battery
Procedure for starting the engine using another battery or charging a discharged battery.

t
he involvement of a CITROËN dealer
o

b
attery.
After
refitting the battery, the Stop &
S
tart system will only be active after a
c
ontinuous period of immobilisation of the
v
ehicle, a period which depends on the
c
limatic conditions and the state of charge
o
f the battery (up to about 8 hours). When
your vehicle's battery is discharged, the
e
ngine can be started using a slave battery
(
external or on another vehicle) and jump lead
c
ables.
Starting using another
battery
First check that the slave battery has a nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity
a
t least equal to that of the discharged
b
attery.
Do
not try to start the engine by
c
onnecting a battery charger.
Do
not disconnect the (+) terminal when

The batteries contain harmful substances such as sulphuric acid and lead. They m
ust be disposed of in accordance
w
ith regulations and must not, in any
c
ircumstances, be discarded with household
w
aste.
Take
used remote control batteries and
v
ehicle batteries to a special collection point.
Protect your eyes and face before handling the battery.
All
operations on the battery must be
c
arried out in a well ventilated area and
a
way from naked flames and sources
o
f sparks, so as to avoid the risk of
e
xplosion or fire.
Do
not try to charge a frozen battery;
t

a
void the risk of explosion. If the battery
h
as been frozen, before charging have

t
he internal components have not been

Driving advice
Distribution of loads
F Distribute the load in the trailer so that the h
eaviest items are as close as possible to t
he axle and the nose weight approaches the
m
aximum permitted without exceeding it.
Air
density decreases with altitude, thus
r
educing engine per formance. Above
1 0
00 metres, the maximum towed load must
b
e reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of
al
titude.
Side wind
F Take into account the increased sensitivity t
o side wind.
Cooling
Towing a trailer on a slope increases the temperature of the coolant.
As
the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling
c
apacity is not dependent on the engine speed.
F
T
o lower the engine speed, reduce your
s
peed.
The
maximum towed load on a long incline
d
epends on the gradient and the ambient
t
emperature.
In
all cases, keep a check on the coolant
t
emperature. F
I
f the warning lamp and the
S
TOP
warning lamp come on,
s
top the vehicle and switch off
t
he engine as soon as possible.
Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.
T o avoid overheating of the brakes on a long
m
ountain type of descent, the use of engine
b
raking is recommended.
Ty r e s
F Check the tyre pressures of the towing v
ehicle and of the trailer, observing the
re
commended
p
ressures.
Lighting
F Check the electrical lighting and signalling o
n the trailer.
