Energy economy mode
This system manages the duration of use of 
certain functions, in order to conserve a sufficient 
level of charge in the battery with the ignition off.
After switching off the engine and for a maximum 
cumulative period of around 30 minutes, you can 
continue to use functions such as the audio and 
telematics system, dipped beam headlamps or 
courtesy lamps.
Selecting the mode
A confirmation message is displayed when 
energy economy mode is entered, and the active 
functions are placed on standby.
If a telephone call is in progress at the 
time, it will be maintained for around 10 
minutes via the audio system’s hands-free 
system.
Exiting the mode
These functions are automatically reactivated the 
next time the vehicle is used.
To restore the use of these functions 
immediately, start the engine and let it run:
–
 
For less than 10 minutes, to use the 
equipment for approximately 5 minutes.
–
 
For more than 10 minutes, to use the 
equipment for approximately 30 minutes.
Let the engine run for the specified duration to 
ensure that the battery charge is sufficient.
T
o recharge the battery, avoid repeatedly or 
continuously restarting the engine.
A flat battery prevents the engine from  starting.
For more information on the  12
  V battery,

Practical information
To fit the transverse roof bars or a roof rack, use 
the fixing points provided for this purpose:
► 
Remove the fixing covers installed on the 
vehicle.
►

roof one by one.
►
 
Ensure that the roof bars or the roof rack are 
correctly fitted (by shaking them).
The bars are adaptable for each fixing point.
Bonnet
Stop & Start
Before doing anything under the bonnet, 
you must switch off the ignition to avoid any 
risk of the engine restarting automatically.
Take care with objects or clothing that could 
be caught in the blades of the cooling fan 
or in certain moving components - risk of 
strangulation and serious injury!
The location of the interior bonnet  release lever prevents the bonnet being 
opened when the left-hand front door is 
closed.
When the engine is hot, handle the 
exterior safety catch and the bonnet stay 
with care (risk of burns), using the protected 
area.
When the bonnet is open, take care not to 
damage the safety catch.
Do not open the bonnet under very windy 
conditions.
Cooling of the engine when stopped
The engine cooling fan may start after 
the engine has been switched off.
Take care with objects or clothing that 
could be caught in the blades of the fan!
Opening
► Open the left-hand front door . 
 
► Pull the interior release lever, located at the 
bottom of the door frame, towards you.
►
 
Lift the exterior safety catch and raise the 
bonnet.
 
 
► Unclip the stay from its housing and place it 
in the support slot to hold the bonnet open.
Closing
► Hold the bonnet and  pull out the stay from the 
support slot.
►
 
Clip the stay in its housing.
►
 
Lower the bonnet and release it near the end 
of its travel.
►
 
Pull on the bonnet to check that it is locked 
correctly
.
Because of the presence of electrical 
equipment under the bonnet, it is 
recommended that exposure to water (rain, 
washing, etc.) be limited.

Advice on care and maintenance
General recommendations
Observe the following recommendations to avoid 
damaging the vehicle.
Exterior
Never use a high-pressure jet wash in 
the engine compartment - risk of 
damaging the electrical components!
Do not wash the vehicle in bright sunshine or 
extremely cold conditions.
When washing the vehicle in an 
automatic roller-brush car wash, be sure 
to lock the doors and, depending on version, 
move the electronic key away.
When using a pressure washer, keep the jet 
nozzle at a minimum distance of 30 cm from 
the vehicle (particularly when cleaning areas 
containing chipped paint, sensors or seals).
Promptly clean up any stains containing 
chemicals liable to damage the vehicle's 
paintwork (including tree resin, bird 
droppings, insect secretions, pollen and tar).
Depending on the environment, clean the 
vehicle frequently to remove salty deposits 
(in coastal areas), soot (in industrial areas) 
and mud/salts (in wet or cold areas). These 
substances can be highly corrosive.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop for advice on removing stubborn 
stains requiring special products (such as tar 
or insect removers).
Preferably, have paint touch-ups performed 
by a CITROËN dealer or a qualified 
workshop.

Fuses
Changing a fuse
All work must be carried out only by a 
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop
The replacement of a fuse by a third party 
could cause a serious malfunction of the 
vehicle.
Installing electrical accessories
The vehicle's electrical system is 
designed to operate with standard or optional 
equipment.
Before fitting other electrical equipment 
or accessories to your vehicle, contact a 
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
CITROËN accepts no responsibility for 
the cost incurred in repairing the vehicle 
or for rectifying malfunctions resulting from 
the installation of accessories not supplied or 
not recommended by CITROËN and not 
installed in accordance with its 
recommendations, in particular when the

Frozen battery
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 could lead to a risk of 
leakage of toxic and corrosive acid.
Disconnecting/reconnecting 
the battery
In order to maintain an adequate state of 
charge for starting the engine, we recommend  disconnecting the battery if the vehicle is to be 
unused for an extended period.
Before disconnecting the battery:
►
 
Close all openings (doors, tailgate, windows, 
roof).
►
  
Switch off all electricity-consuming devices 
(audio system, wipers, lamps, etc.).
►
  
Switch off the ignition and wait for 4
   minutes.
After accessing the battery, it is only necessary 
to disconnect the (+) terminal.
Quick-release terminal clamp
Disconnecting the (+) terminal 
 
► Depending on equipment, lift the plastic cover 
on the  (+) terminal.
►
 
Raise lever
  
A
  fully to release clamp  
B
 .
►
 
Remove clamp
  
B
  by lifting it off.
Reconnecting the (+) terminal 
 
► Raise lever A  fully.
►  Refit open clamp  B  on the (+) terminal.
►
 
Push clamp
   B fully down.
►
 
Lower lever
  
A
  to lock clamp   B.
►
 
Depending on equipment, lower the plastic 
cover on the 
(+) terminal.
Do not force the lever when pressing on 
it, as if the clamp is not positioned 
correctly, locking will then not be possible. 
Start the procedure again.
Following reconnection
After reconnecting the battery, turn on the 
ignition and wait 1   minute before starting the 
engine, to enable the electronic systems to 
initialise.
If minor problems nevertheless persist following 
this operation, contact a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
