8Changing a bulb
The headlamps have polycarbonate lenses with a protective coating:
► do not clean them using a dry or
abrasive cloth, nor with a detergent or
solvent product,
► use a sponge and soapy water or a pH
neutral product,
► when using a high pressure washer on
persistent marks, do not keep the lance
directed towards the lamps or their edges for
too long, so as not to damage their protective
coating and seals.
Changing a bulb must only be done with
the ignition off and after the lamp has
been switched off for several minutes - Risk
of serious burns!
► Do not touch the bulb directly with your
fingers, use a lint-free cloth.
It is essential only to use anti-ultraviolet
(UV) type bulbs, so as not to damage the
headlamp.
Always replace a failed bulb with a new bulb
with the same type and specification.
In some weather conditions (e.g. low
temperature or humidity), the presence
of misting on the internal surface of the glass
of the headlamps and rear lamps is normal; it
disappears after the lamps have been on for a
few minutes.
Types of bulb
Various types of bulb are fitted on the vehicle. To
remove them:


Type A All-glass bulb: pull gently as it is fitted by
pressure.
Type B Bayonet bulb: press on the bulb then
turn it anti-clockwise.
Type C Cylindrical bulb: ease the contacts apart.
Type D Halogen bulb: release the retaining
spring from its housing.

In the event of a breakdown
► Connect the red cable to metallic terminal A,
then to the (+) terminal of backup battery B.
► Connect one end of the green or black cable
to the negative (-) terminal of backup battery B.
► Connect the other end of the green or black
cable to earth point C of your vehicle.
► Operate the starter, let the engine run.
► Wait for the engine to return to idle and
disconnect the cables.
Charging the battery using a
battery charger
► Access the battery, located in the left-hand
front floor.
► Disconnect the battery.
► Follow the instructions for use provided by
the manufacturer of the charger.
► Reconnect starting with the (-) terminal.
► Check the cleanliness of the terminals. If they
are covered with sulphate (whitish or greenish
deposit), remove and clean them.
The charging operation must be carried out in a well-ventilated area and away
from naked flames and any sources of sparks
so as to avoid the risk of explosion or fire.
Do not try to recharge a frozen battery: it
must first be thawed to avoid the risk of
explosion. If it has frozen, before charging it,
have the battery checked by a specialist who
will check that the interior components have
not been damaged and that the container is
not cracked, which would involve a risk of
leakage of toxic and corrosive acid.
Perform a slow charge at low amperage for
about 24 hours maximum to avoid damaging
the battery.
The presence of this label, in particular with the Stop & Start system, indicates
the use of a 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.
After refitting the battery at a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop, the Stop
& Start system will only be active after a
continuous period of immobilisation of the
vehicle, a period which depends on the
climatic conditions and the state of charge of
the battery (up to about 8 hours).
