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.
A fault with the system does not
prevent the vehicle being driven. For technical reasons and in particular
to improve the quality of "Telematic
services" services to customers, the
manufacturer reserves the right to
carry out updates to the vehicle's on-
board telematic system.

In order to restore the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let it run:
-
f
or less than ten minutes, to use the
equipment for approximately five minutes,
-
f
or more than ten minutes, to use the
equipment for up to approximately

Let the engine run for the duration specified to
ensure that the battery charge is sufficient.
Do not repeatedly and continuously restart the
engine in order to charge the battery.
A flat battery prevents the engine from starting.
For more information on the 12 V batter y , refer
to the corresponding section.
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.

Switching to economy mode
A message appears in the instrument panel
screen indicating that the vehicle has switched
to economy mode and the active functions are
put on standby.
If a telephone call is being made at this time, it
will be maintained for around 10 minutes with
the Bluetooth

system. 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

Checks
12 V battery
The battery does not require any
maintenance.
However, check that the terminals
are clean and correctly tightened,
particularly in summer and winter.Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of the
replacement intervals for these
components.
Air filter and passenger compartment filter
Replace the oil filter each time the
engine oil is changed.
Refer to the manufacturer's
service schedule for details of
the replacement interval for this
component.
Oil filterThe presence of this label, in particular
with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a specific 12 V lead-acid
battery with special technology and
specification.
The involvement of a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop is essential when
replacing or disconnecting the battery.
Unless other wise indicated, check these components in accordance with the manufacturer's service schedule and according to your engine.
Other wise, have them checked by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Depending on the environment (e.g. dusty
atmosphere) and the use of the vehicle
(e.g. city driving), replace them twice as often
if necessary .
A clogged passenger compartment filter may
have an adverse effect on the per formance
of the air conditioning system and generate
undesirable odours.
Particle filter (Diesel)
The start of saturation of the particle
filter is indicated by the fixed
illumination of this warning lamp
accompanied by a warning message.
As soon as the traffic conditions permit,
regenerate the filter by driving at a
speed of at least 40 mph (60 km/h) until
the warning lamp goes off.
If the warning lamp stays on, this
indicates a low additive level.
For more information on Checking
levels and the Diesel additive level in
particular, refer to the corresponding
section.
On a new vehicle, the first particle
filter regeneration operations may be
accompanied by a "burning" smell,
which is per fectly normal.
Following prolonged operation of the
vehicle at very low speed or at idle,
you may, in exceptional circumstances,
notice the emission of water vapour at
the exhaust on acceleration. This does
not affect the behaviour of the vehicle
or the environment.
When carrying out work on the battery, refer
to the "
12 V batter y " section for details of the
precautions to be taken before disconnecting
the battery and following its reconnection.

Procedure for starting the engine using another battery or charging a discharged battery.
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.
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.
General points
Lead-acid starter batteries
If your vehicle has an automatic
gearbox, do not try to start the engine
by pushing the vehicle.
The (-) battery terminal is not accessible.
A remote earth point is located in the upper
section under the bonnet (alongside the
battery).

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,

nominal voltage of 12 V. Follow the instructions for use provided
by the manufacturer of the charger.
Never reverse polarities.
Charging the battery using a battery charger
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.
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.
