12 V accessory socket(s)
(depending on version)USB port
F To connect a 12 V accessory (maximum
power: 120 Watts), lift the cover and
connect a suitable adaptor. It allows the connection of a portable device,
such as a digital audio player of the iPod
® type
or a USB memory stick.
It reads the audio files which are transmitted to
your audio system and played via the vehicle's
speakers.
You can manage these files using the steering
mounted controls or the audio system.
When a USB port is used, the portable
device charges automatically.
While charging, a message is displayed
if the current consumption of the
portable device exceeds the power
rating of the port.
For more information on using this
equipment, refer to the Audio and
telematics section.
Observe the maximum power rating to
avoid damaging your accessory. The connection of an electrical device
not approved by CITROËN, such as a
USB charger, may adversely affect the
operation of vehicle electrical systems,
causing faults such as poor telephone
reception or inter ference with displays
in the screens.

object...), nor fix or attach anything close to
the inflation trajectory of the airbags; this
could cause injuries during their deployment.
Never modify the original definition of your
vehicle, particularly in the area directly
around the airbags.
After an accident or if the vehicle has been
stolen or broken into, have the airbag
systems checked.
All work on the airbag system must be
carried out by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Even if all of the precautions mentioned are
observed, a risk of injury or of minor burns
to the head, chest or arms when an airbag is
deployed cannot be ruled out.
Lateral airbags

compatible with the deployment the lateral
airbags. For information on the range of seat
covers suitable for your vehicle, you can
contact a CITROËN dealer.
For more information on Accessories , refer
to the corresponding section.
Do not fix or attach anything to the seat
backs (clothing...). This could cause injury
to the chest or arms if the lateral airbag is
deployed.
Do not sit with the upper part of the body any
nearer to the door than necessary.
The bag inflates almost instantly (within
a few milliseconds) then deflates within
the same time discharging the hot gas via
openings provided for this purpose.
Front airbags
Do not drive holding the steering wheel by its
spokes or resting your hands on the centre
part of the wheel.
Passengers must not place their feet on the
dashboard.
Do not smoke as deployment of the airbags
can cause burns or the risk of injury from a
cigarette or pipe.
Never remove or pierce the steering wheel or
hit it violently.
Do not fit or attach anything to the steering
wheel or dashboard, this could cause
injuries with deployment of the airbags.
Advice
For the airbags to be fully effective, observe the safety
recommendations below:
Curtain airbags
Do not fix or attach anything to the roof. This
could cause injury to the head if the curtain
airbag is deployed.
If fitted on your vehicle, do not remove the
grab handles installed on the roof, they play
a part in securing the curtain airbags.

General points
Lead-acid starter batteries
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.
Wash your hands after wards.
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. If your vehicle has an automatic
gearbox, do not try to start the engine
by pushing the vehicle.
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.
For more information on the

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.
Charging the battery using
a battery charger
F Switch off the ignition.
F S witch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, lighting, wipers, ...).
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. Follow the instructions for use provided
by the manufacturer of the charger.
Never reverse polarities.
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 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. It is not necessary to disconnect the
battery.

QUESTIONANSWER SOLUTION
There is a difference in
sound quality between the
different audio sources. For optimum sound quality, the audio settings for Loudness,
Ambience, Treble, Bass and Volume can be adapted to the different
sound sources, which may result in audible differences when
changing source. Check that the audio settings for Loudness,
Ambience, Treble, Bass and Volume are adapted
to the sources listened to. Adjust the Balance,
Treble and Bass to the middle position, select the
"None" 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.
The switch-off is normal: the system 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.
