For more information on snow chains,
contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when
braking.
The snow chains must be fitted only
to the front wheels. They must never
be fitted to "space-saver" type spare
wheels.
Take account of the legislation in force
in your country on the use of snow
chains and the maximum running speed
authorised.
Advice on installation
F If you have to fit the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face
on the side of the road.
F
A
pply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks to prevent movement of your
vehicle.
F
F
it the chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer.
F
M
ove off gently and drive for a few
moments, without exceeding 30 mph
(50
km/h).
F
S
top your vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads
that have been cleared of snow, to
avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and
the road sur face. If your vehicle is fitted
with alloy wheels, check that no part of
the chain or its fixings is in contact with
the wheel rim.
All original tyre sizes (15", 16", 17") can be
fitted with chains.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:
It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry sur face.

BatteryProcedure for charging your battery when it is flat or for starting the engine using another battery.
Access to the battery
The battery is located under the bonnet.
To gain access to it:
F
o
pen the bonnet using the interior release
lever, then the exterior safety catch,
F
s
ecure the bonnet stay,
F
l
ift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal. 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.
F
C
onnect the red cable to the positive
terminal (+) of the flat battery A , then to the
positive terminal (+) of the slave battery B.
F
C
onnect one end of the green or black
cable to the negative terminal (-) of the
slave battery B (or earth point on the other
vehicle).
F
C
onnect the other end of the green or black
cable to the negative terminal C
(or the engine mounting) of the broken-
down vehicle.
F
S
tart the engine of the other vehicle and
allow it to run for a few minutes.
Starting using another
battery
When the battery on your vehicle is discharged,
the engine can be started using a slave battery
(external or on another vehicle) and jump leads.
F
O
perate the starter of the broken-down
vehicle and let the engine run.
I
f the engine does not start immediately,
switch off the ignition and wait a few
moments before trying again.
F
W
ait until the engine returns to idle, then
disconnect the jump leads in reverse order.
Some functions are not available if the
battery is not sufficiently charged.

Load reduction mode
System which manages the use of certain
functions according to the level of charge
remaining in the battery.
When the vehicle is being driven, the load
reduction function temporarily deactivates
certain functions, such as the air conditioning,
the heated rear screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivated
automatically as soon as conditions permit.
Energy economy mode
Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated automatically
the next time the vehicle is driven.
F
I
n order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, start the engine and
let it run for a few minutes.
The time available to you will then be double
the period for which the engine is left running.
However, this period will always be between
five and thirty minutes.
Switching to economy mode
Once this period has elapsed, a message
appears on the multifunction screen indicating
that the vehicle has switched to economy mode
and the active functions are put on standby.
A flat battery prevents the engine from
starting (refer to the corresponding
paragraph).
If the telephone is being used at the
same time on the eMyWay audio
navigation system, it will be interrupted
after 10 minutes.
System which manages the period of use of certain functions to conserve a sufficient level of
charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can still use functions such as the audio equipment,
windscreen
wipers, dipped beam headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc. for a maximum combined period of
thirty
minutes.
This period may be greatly reduced if the battery is not fully charged.
