2020 CITROEN C5 AIRCROSS roof

157
The system also takes motorcyclists and
animals into account; however, animals
below 0.5 m tall and objects on the road
are not necessarily detected.
This system is comprised of three functions:
-

C
ollision Risk Alert,
-
I

ntelligent emergency braking assistance,
-

A
ctive Safety Brake (automatic emergency
b r ak ing).
The vehicle has a
multifunctional camera
located at the top of the windscreen, and,
depending on version, a radar located in the
front bumper. As soon as the system detects a
potential
obstacle, it prepares the braking circuit in
case automatic braking is needed. This
may cause a
slight noise and a slight
sensation of deceleration.
Deactivation/Activation
By default, the system is automatically
activated at every engine start.
This system can be deactivated or
activated via the Driving /Vehicle
menu of the touch screen.
Deactivation of the system is
signalled by the illumination of this
indicator lamp, accompanied by the
display of a
message.
Operating conditions and
limits
The ESC system must not be faulty.
The DSC/ASR systems must not be
deactivated.
All passenger seat belts must be fastened.
Driving at a steady speed on roads with few
bends is required. In the following cases, deactivating the system
via the vehicle's configuration menu is advised:
-

t
owing a trailer,
-
c
arrying long objects on roof bars or roof
rack,
-
w
ith snow chains fitted,
-
b
efore using an automatic car wash, with
the engine running,
-
b
efore placing the vehicle on a rolling road
in a workshop,
-
t
owed vehicle, engine running,
-
d
amaged front bumper (version with radar),
-
f
ollowing an impact to the windscreen close
to the detection camera.
The system is automatically deactivated
after the use of certain "space-saver"
type spare wheels is detected (smaller
diameter).
The system is automatically deactivated
after detection of a fault with the brake
pedal switch or with at least two brake
lamps.
It is possible that warnings are not given,
are given too late or seem unjustified.
Consequently, always stay in control of
your vehicle and be prepared to react at
any time to avoid an accident.

Driving

187
It is strongly recommended that before
you leave, you practise fitting the snow
chains on a level and dry sur face.
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.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle: Original tyre size Maximum link size

For more information on snow chains, contact
a

CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Fitting roof bars
As a safety measure and to avoid
d amaging the roof, it is essential to use
the transverse bars approved for your
vehicle.
Obser ve the instructions on fitting and use
contained in the guide supplied with the
roof bars.
Sunroof
Check that the load does not pass below
the roof bars so that it does not impede
the movements of the sunroof.
Recommendations
F

D
istribute the load uniformly, taking
care to avoid overloading one of the
sides.
F

A
rrange the heaviest part of the load
as close as possible to the roof.
F

S
ecure the load firmly and fit a warning
flag if the load overhangs the vehicle.
F

D
rive gently: the vehicle will be more
susceptible to the effects of side winds
(stability may be affected).
F

R
emove the roof bars once they are no
longer needed. Maximum load distributed over the
transverse roof bars, for a
loading height
not exceeding 40 cm (except bicycle
carrier): 75 kg.
As this value may change, please verify
the maximum load quoted on the guide
supplied with the roof bars.
If the height exceeds 40
cm, adapt the
speed of the vehicle to the profile of the
road to avoid damaging the roof bars and
the fixings on the vehicle.
Be sure to refer to national legislation in
order to comply with the regulations for
transporting objects which are longer than
the vehicle.
Sunroof
Do not operate the sunroof when using
roof bars – risk of major damage!

To install the roof bars, you must secure them
only to the four fixing points on the roof frame.
These points are concealed by the vehicle's
doors when they are closed.

Charging the battery using
a battery charger
For optimum ser vice 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:
-

u
sing the vehicle mainly 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.
To charge the vehicle's battery yourself,
use only a


charger compatible with lead-
acid batteries with a
nominal voltage of
12


V.
Follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer of the charger.
Never reverse polarities.
It is not necessary to disconnect the
battery. F

S

F
S
witch off all electrical consumers (audio
system, lighting, wipers, etc.). Never try to charge a frozen battery – risk
of explosion!
If the battery has frozen, have it checked
by a CITROËN dealer or by a qualified
workshop who will verify that the internal
components have not been damaged
and that the case has not cracked, which
would mean a
risk of toxic and corrosive
acid leaking.
Some functions, including Stop & Start,
are not available if the battery is not
sufficiently charged.
Disconnecting the battery

t the end of the charging operation, switch
off charger B before disconnecting the
cables from battery A . 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 ser vice for a
long
period.
Before disconnecting the battery:

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).
