12 V battery
The Stop & Start system requires a 
12 V battery of specific technology and 
specification.
All work must be carried out only by a 
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
Tyre under-inflation  detection
This system alerts the driver if one or more tyres 
suffer a drop in pressure.
The alert is raised when the vehicle is moving, 
not when stationary.
It compares the information given by the wheel 
speed sensors with  reference values, which 
must be reinitialised every time the tyre 
pressures are adjusted or a wheel changed.
It takes into account the last values stored 
during the reinitialisation request. It is therefore 
essential that the tyre pressure is correct during 
the operation. This operation is the driver’s 
responsibility.
The tyre under-inflation detection cannot,  in any circumstances, replace the need 
for vigilance on the part of the driver.
This system does not avoid the need to 
regularly check the tyre pressures (including 
the spare wheel), especially before a long 
journey.
Driving with under-inflated tyres, particularly 
in adverse conditions (heavy load, high 
speed, long journey):
–
 
worsens road-holding.
–
 
lengthens braking distances.
–
 
causes premature wear of the tyres.
–
 
increases energy consumption.
The inflation pressures defined for the  vehicle can be found on the tyre pressure 
label.
For more information on the  Identification 
markings, refer to the corresponding section.
Checking tyre pressures
This check should be done monthly 
when the tyres are "cold" (vehicle stopped for 
1 hour or after a journey of less than 6 miles 
(10
 
km) at moderate speeds).
Otherwise, add 0.3 bar to the pressures 
shown on the label.

Practical information
In the event of damage to the traction 
battery
It is strictly prohibited to work on the vehicle 
yourself.
Do not touch liquids coming from the battery, 
and in the event of skin contact with these 
products, wash abundantly with water and 
contact a doctor as soon as possible.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop to have the system checked.
Disposal of the traction battery
The traction battery is designed for the life of the 
vehicle if the recommendations of CITROËN are 
followed.
If it becomes necessary to replace the battery, 
contact the CITROËN dealer for instructions on 
its disposal. Improper disposal carries the risk of 
severe burns, electric shock, and damage to the 
environment.
In accordance with regulations, CITROËN 
ensures a second life or recycling of this 
component in collaboration with qualified 
operators.

Referring to the relevant section, reinitialise 
certain equipment:
– 
Remote control key or electronic key 
(depending on version).
–
 
Electric windows.
–
 
Date and time.
–
 
Preset radio stations.
The Stop & Start system may not be operational during the trip following the 
first engine start.
In this case, the system will only be available 
again after a continuous period with the 
vehicle immobilised, the duration of which 
depends on the exterior temperature and the 
state of charge of the battery (up to about 8 
hours).
Towing
Procedure for having your vehicle towed or for 
towing another vehicle using the towing eye.
General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in the 
country where you are driving.
Check that the towing vehicle is heavier than 
the towed vehicle.
The driver must remain at the wheel of the 
towed vehicle and must have a valid driving 
licence.
When towing a vehicle with all four wheels on 
the ground, always use an approved towbar; 
ropes and straps are prohibited.
The towing vehicle must move off gently.
When the vehicle is towed with its engine 
off, there is no longer braking and steering 
assistance.
A professional recovery service must 
be called in the following cases:
–
 
broken down on a motorway or main road;
– not possible to put the gearbox into neutral, 
unlock the steering, or release the parking 
brake;
–
 
not possible to tow a vehicle with an 
automatic gearbox, with the engine running;
–
 
towing with only two wheels on the ground;
–
 
four-wheel drive vehicle;
–
 
no approved towbar available.
Before towing the vehicle, it is essential 
to put the vehicle in free-wheeling mode.
For more information on  Free-wheeling, refer 
to the corresponding section.
Electric motor
An electric vehicle cannot under any 
circumstances be used to tow another 
vehicle.
However, it may be used, for example, to exit 
a rut.
Towing constraints
Type of vehicle
(engine/gearbox) Front wheels on the

Event data recorders
13Event data recorders
Electronic control units are installed in your 
vehicle. Control units process data which is 
received by vehicle sensors, for example, or 
which they generate themselves or exchange 
amongst themselves. Some control units are 
necessary for the safe functioning of your 
vehicle, others assist you while you drive (driver 
assistance systems), while others provide 
comfort or infotainment functions.
The following contains general information about 
data processing in the vehicle. You will find 
additional information as to which specific data is 
uploaded, stored and passed on to third parties 
and for what purpose in your vehicle under 
the key word Data Protection closely linked 
to the references for the affected functional 
characteristics in the relevant owner's manual 
or in the general terms of sale. These are also 
available online.
Vehicle operating data
The control units process the data used for the 
operation of the vehicle. 
This data includes, for example: 
– 
Information about the state of the vehicle 
(e.g.
  speed, travel time, lateral acceleration, 
wheel rotation rate, fastened seat belts display). 
–
 
Environmental conditions (e.g.
   temperature, 
rain sensor, distance sensor). 
As a general rule, this data is temporary, is 
not stored for longer than one operating cycle  and is only used within the vehicle itself. The 
control units often record this data (including the 
vehicle's key). This function allows either the 
temporary or permanent storage of information 
about the state of the vehicle, stresses on 
components, servicing requirements, as well as 
events and technical errors. 
Depending on the vehicle's equipment level, the 
data stored is as follows: 
–
 
Operating state of system components 
(e.g.
   filling level, tyre pressures, battery charge 
status). 
–  
Faults and malfunctions in important system 
components (e.g.
   lamps, brakes). 
–  
System reactions in specific driving situations 
(e.g.
   deployment of an airbag, triggering of 
stability control and braking systems). 
–  
Information about events which have 
damaged the vehicle. 
–
  
For electric and rechargeable hybrid vehicles, 
the traction battery charge level and the 
estimated driving range. 
In particular circumstances (e.g.
   if the vehicle 
has detected a malfunction), it may be necessary 
to record data which would otherwise simply not 
be stored. 
When taking your vehicle in for servicing 
(e.g.
  repairs, maintenance), the stored operating 
data may be read along with the vehicle's 
identification number and used if necessary. 
The personnel working for the servicing network 
(e.g.
  garages, manufacturers) or third parties 
(e.g.
  roadside assistance agents) may read the vehicle's data. This also applies to work 
carried out under warranty and quality assurance 
measures. 
This data is generally read via the OBD 
(On-Board Diagnostics) port fitted by law to 
the vehicle. It is used to report on the technical 
state of the vehicle or its components and 
facilitates the diagnosis of malfunctions, in 
compliance with warranty obligations and for 
quality improvement. This data, in particular the 
information relating to stress on components, 
technical events, operator errors and other 
malfunctions, is sent to the Manufacturer, if 
necessary, along with the vehicle's identification 
number. The Manufacturer's liability may also be 
engaged. The Manufacturer may also use the 
operating data taken from the vehicle for product 
recalls. This data may also be used to check the 
customer's warranty and any claims made under 
warranty. 
Any malfunctions stored in the vehicle may be 
reset by an after-sales service company during 
servicing or repair work, or at your request. 
Comfort and infotainment 
functions
Comfort settings and personalised settings 
may
  be saved in the vehicle and modified or 
reinitialised at any time. 
Depending on the vehicle's equipment level,
  this 
may
  include: 
–
 
Seat and steering wheel position settings.
