When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the
engine can be started using a slave battery
(external or on another vehicle) and jump lead
cables or a battery booster.
Starting using another battery
F Raise the plastic cover on the (+) terminal, if your vehicle has one.
F

C
onnect the red cable to the positive
terminal (+) of the flat battery A (at
the metal elbow) then to the positive
terminal
(+) of the slave battery B or the
b o o s t e r.
F

C
onnect one end of the green or black
cable to the negative terminal (-) of the
slave battery B or the booster (or earth
point on the other vehicle).
F

C
onnect the other end of the green or black
cable to the earth point C on the broken
down vehicle. F

S
tart the engine of the vehicle with the
good battery and leave it running for a few
minutes.
F
O
perate the starter on the broken down
vehicle and let the engine run.
I
f the engine does not start straight away,
switch off the ignition and wait a few
moments before trying again.
Never try to start the engine by
connecting a battery charger.
Never use a 24 V or higher battery
b o o s t e r.
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.
The two vehicles must not be in contact
with each other.
Switch off the electrical consumers on
both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting,
...

).
Ensure that the jump lead cables do
not pass close to moving parts of the
engine (cooling fan, belts,

...).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal when
the engine is running. F

W
ait until the engine returns to idle then
disconnect the jump lead cables in the
reverse order.
F R efit the plastic cover to the (+) terminal, if
your vehicle has one.
F

A
llow the engine to run for at least
30
minutes, by driving or with the vehicle
stationary, so that the battery reaches an
adequate state of charge.
Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged.

Charging the battery using a battery charger
For optimum service life of the battery, it is
essential to maintain an adequate state of
charge.
In some circumstances it may be necessary to
charge the battery:
-
i
f you use your vehicle essentially for short
journeys,
-

i
f the vehicle is to be taken off the road for
several weeks.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop. It is not necessary to disconnect the
battery.
Never try to charge a frozen battery.
If the battery has been frozen, 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.
If you envisage charging your vehicle's
battery yourself, use only a charger
compatible with lead-acid batteries of a
nominal voltage of 12 V.
If this label is present, it is essential
to use only a 12 V charger, to avoid
causing irreversible damage to the
electrical components related to the
Stop & Start system. Follow the instructions for use provided
by the manufacturer of the charger.
Never reverse polarities.
F

S
witch off the ignition.
F

S
witch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, lighting, wipers,
...).
F

S
witch off the charger B before connecting
the cables to the battery, so as to avoid any
dangerous sparks.
F

E
nsure that the charger cables are in good
condition.
F

R
aise the plastic cover, if your vehicle has
one, on the (+) terminal.
F

C
onnect the charger B cables as follows:
-

t
he positive (+) red cable to the (+)
terminal of the battery A ,
-

t
he negative (-) black cable to the earth
point C on the vehicle.
F

A
t the end of the charging operation, switch
off the charger B before disconnecting the
cables from the battery A .

Do not force the lever as locking will
not be possible if the clamp is not
positioned correctly; start the procedure
again.
Quick-release terminal clamp
Disconnecting the (+) terminal
F Ra ise the lever A fully to release the
clamp
B .
F


R
emove the clamp B by lifting it off. The Stop & Start system may not be
operational during the trip following the
first engine start.
In this case, the system will only be
available again after a continuous
period of immobilisation of the vehicle,
a period which depends on the exterior
temperature and the state of charge of
the battery (up to about 8 hours).
In order to maintain an adequate state
of charge for starting the engine, it is
recommended that the battery be disconnected
if the vehicle is taken out of service for a long
period.
Before disconnecting the battery:
F

c
lose all openings (doors, boot, windows),
F
s
witch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, wipers, lighting, etc.),
F
s
witch off the ignition and wait for
four
m
inutes.
At the battery, it is only necessary to
disconnect the (+) terminal.
Disconnecting the battery
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 initialise or reset certain systems,
such as:
-

t
he remote control or electronic key
(depending on version),
-

t
he electric windows,
-

t
he date and time,
-

t
he radio preset stations.

"Navigation" voice commands
These commands can be issued from any screen page after pressing the " Voice command" or "Telephone" button on the steering wheel, as long as there is no telephone call in progress.
Depending on the country, give the destination instructions (address) in the language used by the system.
"Voice command"Help message
Navigate home
To start guidance or add a stopover, say "navigate to" and then the address or contact name. For example, "navigate to address 11 Regent Street, London", or "navigate to contact, John M iller ". You can specify if it's a preferred or recent destination. For example, "navigate to preferred address, Tennis club", "navigate to recent destination, 11 Regent Street, London". Other wise, just say, "navigate home". To see points of interest on a map, you can say things like "show hotels in Banbury" or "show nearby petrol station". For more information you can ask for "help with route guidance".
Navigate to work
Navigate to preferred address <...>
Navigate to contact <…>

Remaining distance
To get information about your current route, you can say "tell me the remaining time", "distance" or "arrival time". Try saying "help with navigation" to learn more commands.

Audio and Telematics
The table below gives answers to the most frequently asked questions on your audio system.
QUESTIONANSWERSOLUTION
With the engine off, the audio system switches off after a few minutes of use.
When the engine is switched off, the audio system operating time depends on the state of charge of the battery. The switch-off is normal: the audio equipment 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.
The message "the audio system is overheated" appears on the display.
In order to protect the installation if the surrounding temperature is too high, the audio system switches to an automatic thermal protection mode leading to a reduction in volume or CD play stopping.
Switch the audio system off for a few minutes to allow the system to cool.
Frequently asked questions
QUESTIONANSWERSOLUTION
There is a difference in sound quality between the different audio sources (radio, CD...).
For optimum sound quality, the audio settings (Volume, Bass, Treble, Ambience and Loudness) can be adapted to the different sound sources, which may result in audible differences when changing source (radio, CD...).
Check that the audio settings (Volume, Bass, Treble, Ambience and Loudness) are adapted to the sources listened to. It is advisable to set the audio functions (Bass, Treble, Front-Rear Balance and Left-Right Balance) to the middle position, select the musical ambience "None" and set the loudness correction to the "Active" position in CD mode or to the "Inactive" position in radio mode.
