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. 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.
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.

Practical information

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.
It is advisable to disconnect the
battery if the vehicle is to be left
unused for more than one month.
Do not push the vehicle to start the
engine if you have an electronic or
automatic gearbox.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.
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.
Following reconnection of the
battery
Following reconnection of the battery, switch on
the ignition and wait 1 minute before starting to
permit initialisation of the electronic systems.
However, if problems remain following this
operation, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section,

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.
