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
combined power consumption of all of the
additional equipment connected exceeds 10
milliamperes.
12 V battery
Lead-acid starter batteries
These batteries contain harmful substances (sulphuric acid and lead).
They must be disposed of in accordance
with regulations and must never under any
circumstances be discarded with household
waste.
Dispose of used batteries at a designated
collection point.
Protect your eyes and face before
handling the battery.
All operations on the battery must be carried
out in a well ventilated area and away from
naked flames and sources of sparks, to avoid
any risk of explosion or fire.
Wash your hands afterwards.
Electronic control units/LED
technology headlamps
Never connect the negative jump lead to the
metal part of the electronic control units or at
the back of the headlamps.
Risk of destroying the electronic control units
and/or headlamps!
Connect to the remote earth point provided
for this purpose.
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.
Automatic gearbox
Never try to start the engine by pushing
the vehicle.
Symbols
No sparks or naked flames, no smoking.
Always protect your eyes. Explosive gases can cause blindness and injury.
Keep the vehicle's battery out of the reach
of children.
The vehicle's battery contains sulphuric acid which can make you go blind or
cause severe burns.
For more information, refer to the
handbook.
Explosive gases can be present close to
the battery.
Procedure for starting the engine using another
battery or for charging a discharged battery.
Accessing the battery
The battery is located under the bonnet.
For access to the (+) terminal:
93
In the event of a breakdown
8► Release the bonnet by pulling the internal
release lever , then the external safety catch.
►
Raise the bonnet.
(+)
Positive terminal with a quick-release
terminal.
(-) Negative terminal.
As the battery's negative terminal is not
accessible, a remote earth point is located on
the engine.
Starting using another battery
If the vehicle's battery is flat, the engine can be
started using a backup battery (either external or
from another vehicle) and jump leads or using a
battery booster.
Never start the engine by connecting a
battery charger.
Never use a 24
V or higher battery booster.
Check beforehand that the backup 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 all electricity-consuming equipment
on both vehicles (audio system, wipers,
lighting, etc.).
Make sure that the jump leads are well away
from the engine’s moving parts (fan, belt,
etc.).
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal while the
engine is running.
► Lift the plastic cover on the (+) terminal, if the
vehicle has one.
►
Connect the red cable to the (+) terminal of
flat battery
A (at the metal elbow), then to the
(+) terminal of the backup battery
B or of the
booster.
►
Connect one end of the green or black cable
to the (-) terminal of the backup battery
B or of
the booster (or to an earth point on the assisting
vehicle).
►
Connect the other end of the green or black
cable to the earth point
C
.
►
Start the engine on the assisting vehicle and
leave it running for a few minutes.
►
Operate the starter on the broken down
vehicle and let the engine run.
If the engine does not start immediately
, switch
off the ignition and wait a few moments before
trying again.
►
W
ait for it to return to idle.
►
Disconnect the jump leads in reverse order.
► Refit the plastic cover to the (+) terminal, if
the vehicle has one.
►
Allow the engine to run for at least
30
minutes, with the vehicle stationary, so that
the battery reaches an adequate state of charge.
Driving immediately without having
reached a sufficient level of charge may
affect some of the vehicle's functions (e.g.
Stop & Start).
Charging the battery using a battery
charger
For optimum service 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:
–
When using the vehicle mainly for short
journeys.
–
If 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.
95
In the event of a breakdown
8► 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.
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).
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.
Referring to the relevant section, reinitialise
certain equipment:
–
Remote control key
.
–
Electric windows.
–
Date and time.
–
Preset radio stations.
Towing the vehicle
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.
