Monitoring

This connection box comprises a USB port and
a Jack auxiliary socket.For more information, refer to the
corresponding part of the "Audio and
telematics" section.
USB port
The USB port allows the connection of a
portable device, such as a digital audio player
of the iPod
® type or a USB memory stick.
The USB player reads your audio files, which
are transmitted to your audio system and
played via the vehicle's speakers.
The management of these files is from the
steering mounted controls or the audio system.
USB Player
When connected to the USB port, the
portable device charges automatically.
While charging, a message is displayed
if the power consumption of the
portable device exceeds the current
delivered by the vehicle.
Jack auxiliary socket
The Jack auxiliary socket allows the connection
of a portable device, such as a digital audio
player, so that your audio files can be heard
through the vehicle's speakers.
The management of these files is from the
portable device. The USB also allows a telephone to be
connected by a MirrorLink™ connection, so
that use can be made in the touch screen tablet
of certain applications on the telephone.
The connection of an electrical device
not approved by CITROËN, such as a
USB charger, may adversely affect the
operation of vehicle electrical systems,
causing faults such as poor telephone
reception or inter ference with displays
in the screens.

Advice
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.
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.
Do not fit or attach anything to the steering
wheel or dashboard, this could cause injuries
with deployment of the airbags.
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.
Refer to the "Accessories" section.
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.
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...), nor
fix or attach anything close to the inflation
trajectory of the airbags; this could cause
injuries during their deployment.
Never modify the original definition of your
vehicle, particularly in the area directly
around the airbags.
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.
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.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned
are observed, 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.
For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the safety rules below:

12 V battery
The battery is located under the bonnet.
For access to the (+) terminal:
F
r
elease the bonnet using the interior lever,
then the exterior safety catch,
F

r
aise the bonnet and secure it with its stay,
F

l
ift 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.

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

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.
Practical information

QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
There is a difference in
sound quality between the
different audio sources. For optimum sound quality, the audio settings for Volume, Bass,
Treble, Equalizer and Loudness can be adapted to the different
sound sources, which may result in audible differences when
changing source. Check that the audio settings for (Volume, Bass,
Treble, Equalizer, Loudness) are adapted to the
sources listened to. It is advisable to set the
Audio functions (Bass, Treble, Fr-Re balance,
Le-Ri balance) to the middle position, select the
"Linear", musical ambience and set the loudness
correction to the "Active" position in CD mode or
to the "Inactive" position in radio mode.
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 state of charge of the battery.
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.
