vehicle batteries to a special collection
point.
If your vehicle has an automatic
gearbox, do not try to start the engine
by pushing the vehicle.
Versions equipped with Stop & Start are
fitted with a 12 V lead-acid battery of
specific technology and specification.
Its replacement should be carried out
only by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop.
The battery (-) terminal is not accessible.
A remote earth point is provided at the front of
the vehicle.
For access to it:
F

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.System which manages the duration 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 and
telematics system,
w
indscreen wipers, dipped
beam headlamps,
c
ourtesy lamps, etc. for
a maximum combined duration of about
forty

Advice on care and maintenance
customising stickers
These customising parts are self-adhesive
stickers, treated to give good resistance to
ageing and tearing.
They are intended for customising the body.
Available also as accessories, we recommend
that you have them fitted by a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
When washing your vehicle, keep the end of
a high-pressure lance at least 30 centimetres
from the stickers.We strongly advise against cleaning
your vehicle in a high pressure car
wash.
Headlamps and lamps
The headlamps have polycarbonate lenses,
finished with a protective lacquer.
Do not clean them with a dry or abrasive cloth,
nor with detergent or solvent products.
Use a sponge and soapy water.
The use of a high pressure jet wash for
cleaning the headlamps, lamps and their
surrounds may damage the lacquer and seals.
Observe the recommendations on pressure
and distance for jet washing.
First clean persistent stains with a sponge and
warm soapy water.
Recommendations on the care and maintenance your vehicle are given in the maintenance and warranty guide.
Leather
Leather is a natural product. Appropriate
regular care and cleaning is essential for its
durability.
Refer to your vehicle's maintenance and
warranty guide for information on the special
precautions to observe.

coolant level
The coolant level should be close
to the "MA X" mark but should never
exceed it.
Fluid specification
The coolant must conform to the
manufacturer's recommendations.In addition, as the cooling system is
pressurised, wait at least one hour after
switching off the engine before carrying
out any work.
To avoid any risk of scalding, unscrew
the cap by two turns to allow the
pressure to drop. When the pressure
has dropped, remove the cap and top
up the level.
When the engine is warm, the temperature of
the coolant is regulated by the fan.
The cooling fan may star t after switching
off the engine: take care with ar ticles and
clothing that might be caught by the fan
blades.
Specification of the fluid
To ensure optimum cleaning and to avoid
freezing, the fluid should never be topped up or
replaced by plain water.
In wintry conditions, the use of an ethyl alcohol
or methanol base fluid is recommended.
