For more information on snow chains, contact a 
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop. Use only chains designed to be fitted the type 
of wheel on your vehicle:
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle when braking. The snow chains must be fitted only 
to the front wheels. They must never 
be fitted to "space-saver" type spare 
wheels.
Advice on installation
F If you have to fit the chains during a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat sur face 
on the side of the road.
F
 
A
 pply the parking brake and position any 
wheel chocks to prevent movement of your 
vehicle.
F
 
F
 it the chains following the instructions 
provided by the manufacturer.
F
 
M
 ove off gently and drive for a few 
moments, without exceeding 30 mph 
(50
  km/h).
F
 
S
 top your vehicle and check that the snow 
chains are correctly tightened.
Take account of the legislation in force 
in your country on the use of snow 
chains and the maximum running speed 
authorised. Avoid driving with snow chains on roads 
that have been cleared of snow, to 
avoid damaging your vehicle's tyres and 
the road sur face. If your vehicle is fitted 
with alloy wheels, check that no part of 
the chain or its fixings is in contact with 
the wheel rim.
It is strongly recommended that before 
you leave, you practise fitting the snow 
chains on a level and dry sur face.

Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated automatically 
next time the vehicle is driven.
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 
thirty
 m
inutes.
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.
Energy economy mode
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
® hands-free system of your audio 
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 
system,
 
windscreen wipers, dipped beam headlamps,   courtesy lamps, etc. for a maximum 
combined duration of about forty minutes.

the vehicle's 12 V socket.
F
 
S
 tart the vehicle again and leave the 
engine running.
As soon as possible, go to a CITROËN 
dealer or a qualified workshop.
You must inform the technician that you 
have used this kit. After inspection, the 
technician will advise you on whether 
the tyre can be repaired or if it must be 
replaced. F
 A djust the pressure using the compressor 
(to inflate: switch B in position "I" ; 
to
  deflate: switch B   in position "O" and 
press button C ), in accordance with the 
vehicle's tyre pressure label (located on the 
left-hand door aperture).
 A l
oss of pressure indicates that the 
puncture has not been fully plugged; 
contact a CITROËN dealer or qualified 
workshop for assistance.
F

Checking / adjusting tyre pressures
You can also use the compressor without 
injecting any product, to check and if necessary 
adjust your tyre pressures.
F 
T
 urn the selector A to the 
"Air"
  position.
F
 
U

valve. F
 C onnect the compressor's electrical 
connector to the vehicle's 12 V socket.
F
 
S
 tart the vehicle and let the engine run.
F
 
A
 djust the pressure using the compressor 
(to inflate: switch B in position "I" ; 
to
  deflate: switch B in position "O" and 
press button C ), according to the vehicle's 
tyre pressure label.
F
 
R
 emove the kit then stow it.Should the pressure of one or more 
tyres be adjusted, it is necessary to 
reinitialise the under-inflation detection 
system.
For more information on Under-
inflation detection
, refer to the 
corresponding section.

F Start the engine of the vehicle with the good battery and leave it running for a 
few
 m
inutes.
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.
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.
Starting using another battery
Some functions, including Stop & Start, 
are not available if the battery is not 
sufficiently charged.
F
 
R
aise 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 booster.
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.
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.
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.
