12 V battery

Procedure for starting the engine using another battery or charging a discharged battery.

Access to the battery

Starting using another

battery

When your vehicle's battery is discharged, the

engine can be started using a slave battery

(external or on another vehicle) and jump lead

cables.

First check that the slave battery has a

nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacity

at least equal to that of the discharged

battery.

Do not try to start the engine by

connecting a battery charger.

Do not disconnect the (+) terminal when

the engine is running.

The presence of this label, in particular

with the Stop & Start system, indicates

the use of a 12 V lead-acid battery with

special technology and specification;

the involvement of a CITROËN dealer

or a qualified workshop is essential

when replacing or disconnecting the

battery.

The battery is located under the bonnet.

For access to the (+) terminal:

ꢀ

release the bonnet using the interior lever,

then the exterior safety catch,

raise the bonnet and secure it with its stay,

lift the plastic cover for access to the (+)

terminal.

ꢀ

Connect the red cable to the positive

terminal (+) of the flat battery A, then to the

positive terminal (+) of the slave battery B

Connect one end of the green or black

cable to the negative terminal (-) of the

slave battery B (or earth point on the other

vehicle).

Connect the other end of the green or black

cable to the earth point C on the broken

down vehicle (or on the engine mounting).

Start the engine of the vehicle with the

good battery and leave it running for a

few minutes.

7

After refitting the battery, the Stop &

Start system will only be active after a

continuous period of immobilisation of the

vehicle, a period which depends on the

climatic conditions and the state of charge

of the battery (up to about 8 hours).

Before doing any work

Immobilise the vehicle: apply the

parking brake, put the gearbox in

neutral, then switch off the ignition.

Check that all electrical equipment is

switched off.

296

Practical information

Charging the battery using

a battery charger

Protect your eyes and face before

handling the battery.

The batteries contain harmful substances

such as sulphuric acid and lead. They

must be disposed of in accordance

with regulations and must not, in any

circumstances, be discarded with household

waste.

All operations on the battery must be

carried out in a well ventilated area and

away from naked flames and sources

of sparks, so as to avoid the risk of

explosion or fire.

Do not try to charge a frozen battery;

the battery must first be thawed out to

avoid the risk of explosion. If the battery

has been frozen, before charging have

it checked by a CITROËN dealer or a

qualified workshop who will check that

the internal components have not been

damaged and the casing is not cracked,

which could cause a leak of toxic and

corrosive acid.

The Stop & Start battery does not have

to be disconnected for charging.

Take used remote control batteries and

vehicle batteries to a special collection point.

ꢀ

Disconnect the battery from the vehicle.

Follow the instructions for use provided by

the manufacturer of the charger.

Connect the battery starting with the

negative terminal (-).

Check that the terminals and connectors

are clean. If they are covered with sulphate

(whitish or greenish deposit), remove them

and clean them.

ꢀ

It is advisable to disconnect the battery

if the vehicle is to be left unused for

more than one month.

Do not reverse the polarity and use only

a 12 V charger.

Do not disconnect the terminals while

the engine is running.

Do not charge the batteries without

disconnecting the terminals first.

Wash your hands afterwards.

Practical information

Towing a trailer

Towbar suitable for the attachment of a

trailer or installation of a bicycle carrier, with

additional lighting and signalling.

We recommend the use of genuine

CITROËN towbars and their harnesses

that have been tested and approved

from the design stage of your vehicle,

and that the fitting of the towbar is

entrusted to a CITROËN dealer or a

qualified workshop.

Driving with a trailer places greater

demands on the towing vehicle and the

driver must take particular care.

Your vehicle is primarily designed for

transporting people and luggage, but it may

also be used for towing a trailer.

If the towbar is not fitted by a CITROËN

dealer, it is imperative that it is

fitted in accordance with the vehicle

manufacturer's instructions.

302

Practical information

Driving advice

Distribution of loads

Cooling

Braking

ꢀ

Distribute the load in the trailer so that the

heaviest items are as close as possible to

the axle and the nose weight approaches the

maximum permitted without exceeding it.

Towing a trailer on a slope increases the

temperature of the coolant.

As the fan is electrically controlled, its cooling

capacity is not dependent on the engine speed.

Towing a trailer increases the braking distance.

To avoid overheating of the brakes on a long

mountain type of descent, the use of engine

braking is recommended.

Air density decreases with altitude, thus

reducing engine performance. Above

1 000 metres, the maximum towed load must

be reduced by 10 % for every 1 000 metres of

altitude.

ꢀ

To lower the engine speed, reduce your

speed.

The maximum towed load on a long incline

depends on the gradient and the ambient

temperature.

In all cases, keep a check on the coolant

temperature.

Tyres

ꢀ

Check the tyre pressures of the towing

vehicle and of the trailer, observing the

recommended pressures.

Refer to the "Technical data" section for details

of the weights and towed loads which apply to

your vehicle.

ꢀ

If the warning lamp and the

STOP warning lamp come on,

stop the vehicle and switch off

the engine as soon as possible.

Lighting

7

ꢀ

Check the electrical lighting and signalling

on the trailer.

Side wind

ꢀ

Take into account the increased sensitivity

to side wind.

The rear parking sensors will be

deactivated automatically if a genuine

CITROËN towbar is used.

When not towing a trailer, remove the

quickly-detachable tow ball before

driving.

303

Practical information

Roof bars

For safety reasons and to avoid damaging the

roof, it is essential to use transverse roof bars

that are approved for your vehicle.

Version without longitudinal Version with longitudinal

bars

Observe the fitting instructions and the

conditions of use given in the information

provided with the roof bars.

To install the roof bars, you must secure

them only to the four anchorage points in the

roof frame. These points are masked by the

vehicle's doors when closed.

You must fit the transverse bars to the

longitudinal bars at the fixing points indicated

by engraved markings on the longitudinal bars.

The roof bar fixings include a stud that should

be introduced into the aperture at each

anchorage point.

304

Practical information

Recommendations

Maximum load, distributed over the roof

bars, for a loading height not exceeding

40 cm: 80 kg.

This value is subject to change, please

check the maximum load stated in the

instructions provided with he roof bars.

If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt the

speed of the vehicle to the profile of the

road to avoid damaging the roof bars

and the fixings on the vehicle.

ꢀ

Distribute the load evenly, avoiding

overloading on one side.

Arrange the heaviest part of the load as

close as possible to the roof.

Anchor the load securely and fit a warning

flag if part of it overhangs the vehicle.

Drive gently, as the vehicle will be more

liable to the effects of side winds (vehicle

stability may be affected).

Please refer to national legislation so as

to meet the requirements on carrying

objects that are longer than the vehicle.

ꢀ

Remove the roof bars as soon as they are

no longer needed.
