a period which depends on the ambient
temperature and the state of charge of
the battery (up to about 8 hours).
After reconnecting the battery, switch on the
ignition and wait 1 minute before starting to
allow initialisation of the electronic systems.
However, if minor problems persist following
this operation, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section, you
must yourself reinitialise or reset certain
systems, such as:
-
th
e remote control or electronic key
(depending on version),
-
th
e electric blind(s),
-
th
e electric windows
-
th
e date and time,
-
th
e radio preset stations.

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

next time the vehicle is driven.
In order to restore the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it run:
-
fo
r less than ten minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately five minutes,
-
fo
r more than ten minutes, to use the
equipment for up to approximately
thirty
mi
nutes.
Let the engine run for the duration specified to
ensure that the battery charge is sufficient.

Localised Assistance call
If you purchased your vehicle outside
the CITROËN dealer network, we
invite you to have a dealer check the
configuration of these services and, if
desired, modified to suit your wishes.
In a multi-lingual country, configuration
is possible in the official national
language of your choice.
For technical reasons, particularly
to improve the quality of Telematic
services to customers, the
manufacturer reserves the right to
carry out updates to the vehicle's on-
board telematic system.
Press this button for more than
2
s
econds to request assistance
if the vehicle breaks down.
A voice message confirms that
the call has been started*.
Pressing this button again immediately cancels
the request.
The cancellation is confirmed by a voice
message.
Operation of the system
When the ignition is switched on,
the green indicator lamp comes
on for 3 seconds indicating that
the system is operating correctly.
The orange indicator lamp is on fixed: the back-
up battery should be replaced.
In both cases, the emergency and assistance
calls service may not work.
Contact a qualified repairer as soon as
possible. The orange indicator lamp
flashes then goes off: the system
has a fault.
The fault with the system does not
prevent the vehicle being driven.

which require prolonged attention while the vehicle is stationary.
When the engine is switched off and to prevent discharging of
the battery, the audio system may switch off after a few minutes.
