8At the battery, it is only necessary to disconnect
the (+) terminal.
Quick-release terminal clamp
Disconnecting the (+) terminal

► Raise the lever A fully to release the clamp
B.
► Remove the clamp B by lifting it off.
Reconnecting the (+) terminal


► Raise the lever A fully.► Refit the open clamp B on the (+) terminal.► Push the clamp B fully down.► Lower the lever A to lock the clamp B.
Do not force the lever as locking will not
be possible if the clamp is not positioned
correctly; start the procedure again.
Following reconnection of the battery
After reconnecting the battery, turn on the
ignition and wait 1 minute before starting the
engine, in order to enable the electronic systems
to initialise.
For right-hand drive vehicles, when the
total distance recorder has reached 37
miles (60 km), it is necessary to wait approx.
15 minutes before starting the engine.
However, if minor problems persist following
this operation, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section, you must
yourself reinitialise or reset certain systems,
such as:
– the key with remote control or electronic key (depending on version),– the sunroof and its electric blind,– the electric windows,– the date and time,– the 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 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).

Technical data
Engine technical data and
towed loads
Engines
The engine specifications (capacity, max. power,
max. speed, energy, CO
2 emissions, etc.)
associated with your vehicle are indicated on
the registration document, as well as in sales
brochures.
These characteristics correspond to the values
type-approved on a test bed, under conditions
defined in European legislation (Directive
1999/99/EC).
For more information, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
Weights and towed loads
The weights and towed loads relating to
your vehicle are indicated on the registration
document, as well as in sales brochures.
These values are also indicated on the
manufacturer's plate or label.
For more information, contact a CITROËN dealer
or a qualified workshop.
The GTW values and the towed loads listed are
valid for a maximum altitude of 1,000 metres.
The towed load must be reduced by steps of
10% for each additional 1,000 metres.
The maximum authorised nose weight
corresponds to the weight permitted on the
towball.
GTW: Gross train weight.
When exterior temperatures are high, the
vehicle performance may be limited in
order to protect the engine. When the exterior
temperature is higher than 37°C, limit the
towed weight.
Towing using a lightly loaded vehicle can adversely affect roadholding.
Braking distances are increased when towing
a trailer.
When using a vehicle to tow, never exceed a
speed of approximately 60 mph (100 km/h)
(observe the local legislation in force).
If the exterior temperature is high, it is
recommended that the engine is allowed
to idle for 1 to 2 minutes after the vehicle
comes to a stop, to facilitate its cooling.
