In the event of a breakdown
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.
Towing constraints
Type of vehicle

In case of battery or electric parking brake failure, it is essential to call a p
rofessional using flatbed recovery vehicles (excluding manual gearbox).
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.
For right-hand drive versions, when the
total distance recorder has reached
37

miles (60 km), you must wait
approximately 15
minutes before starting the
engine.
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 or electronic key
(depending on version).
– Sunroof and electric blind.
– Electric windows.
–

Date and time.
–


Preset radio stations.
After reconnecting the battery, the message "Collision risk detection
system fault" is displayed on the instrument
panel when the ignition is switched on. This
operation is perfectly normal. The message
will disappear while driving.
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

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.
