Practical information
7“Top up AdBlue: Starting impossible” – it is
essential to add at least 10 litres.
Top-up detection may not be instantaneous
after addition. It may take a few minutes of
driving before the top-up detection is effective.
Do not dispose of AdBlue® bottles or
containers in the household waste.
Place them in a container reserved for this
purpose or take them back to where you
purchased them.
Snow chains
In wintry conditions, snow chains improve
traction as well as the behaviour of the vehicle
when braking.
Snow chains must be fitted only to the
front wheels. They must never be fitted to
"space-saver" type spare wheels.
Observe the legislation in force in your
country relating to the use of snow
chains and maximum authorised speeds.
Use only the chains designed to be fitted to the
type of wheel fitted to your vehicle :
Original tyre size Maximum link size 185/65 R15 9 mm
195/55 R16
For more information on snow chains, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Installation tips
► To fit the snow chains during a journey, stop
the vehicle on a flat surface at the side of the
road.
►

Apply the parking brake and position any
wheel chocks under the wheels to prevent
movement of the vehicle.
►


Fit the snow chains following the instructions
provided by the manufacturer

.
►

Move off gently and drive for a few moments,
without exceeding 31

mph (50 km/h).
►

Stop the vehicle and check that the snow
chains are correctly tightened.
It is strongly recommended that you
practise fitting the snow chains on a level
and dry surface before setting off.
Avoid driving with snow chains on roads that have been cleared of snow to avoid
damaging the vehicle's tyres and the road
surface. If the vehicle is fitted with alloy
wheels, check that no part of the chain or its
fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.
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.

Information and advice
The audio system will only play files with extension ".mp3" or ".wma" and a
compression rate that is constant or variable
between 32 Kbps and 320 Kbps.
File names should have less than 20
characters, avoiding special characters
(e.g.: “
? ; ù) so as to avoid any reading or
display problems.
Playlists accepted are types .m3u and
.pls.
The number of files is limited to 5 000 in 500
directories on a maximum of 8 levels.
On a single disc, the CD player can read
up to 255 MP3 files spread over 8
directory levels. However, it is recommended
that this be kept to 2 levels so as to limit the
time taken to access and play the CD.
The folder structure is not observed during
playback.
In order to be able to play a burned CDR
or CDRW, select standards ISO 9660
level 1, 2 or Joliet if possible when burning the
CD.
If the disc is burned in another format, it may not
be played correctly.
It is recommended that the same burning
standard is always used on an individual disc,
with the lowest speed possible (4x maximum) for
the best acoustic quality.
In the particular case of a multi-session CD, the
Joliet standard is recommended.
Do not connect a hard disk or USB
device other than audio players to the
USB port. This may cause damage to your
installation.
Playing a compilation
Insert an MP3 compilation in the CD player or
connect a memory stick to the USB port, directly
or via an extension lead.
The system creates playlists (temporary memory); this operation can take from a
few seconds to several minutes.
The playlists are updated every time the
ignition is switched off or a USB memory stick
is connected.
Play starts automatically after a certain
amount of time depending on the capacity of
the USB memory stick.
