Following reconnection
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.
If minor problems nevertheless persist following
this operation, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section, you must
yourself reinitialise certain systems, such as:
–

the remote control key or the electronic key
(depending on version),
–


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).Towing
Procedure for having your vehicle towed or for towing another vehicle us\
ing the towing eye.
General recommendations
Observe the legislation in force in the country where you are driving.
Ensure that the weight of the towing vehicle is higher than that of the \
towed vehicle.
The driver must remain at the wheel of the towed vehicle and must have a\
valid driving licence.

When the vehicle is towed with its engine off, there is no longer braking and steering assistance.
A professional recovery service must be called if:
– broken down on a motorway or main road;
– not possible to put the gearbox into neutral, unlock the steering, or re\
lease the parking brake;
– not possible to tow a vehicle with an automatic gearbox, with the engine\
running;
