This is housed in a compartment located

-

Disconnect the battery,

underneath the ﬂoor, in front of the front right seat.

Follow the instructions for use given by

the battery charger manufacturer,

-

Reconnect starting with the negative (-)

terminal,

Check that the terminals and connectors

are clean. If they are covered with

sulphate (white or greenish deposit),

disconnect them and clean them.

The presence of this label indicates

the use of a 12 V lead-acid battery

with special technology and specification, for

which the involvement of a CITROËN dealer

or qualified workshop is required when

replacing or disconnecting the battery.

To start the vehicle from another

battery

-

Connect the red cable to the positive (+)

terminals of the two batteries,

Failure to observe this recommendation may

cause premature ageing of the battery.

-

Connect one end of the green or black

cable to the negative (-) terminal of the

slave battery,

Before disconnecting the battery, you

must wait for 2 minutes after switching off

the ignition.

-

Connect the other end of the green or

black cable to an earth point on the

broken down vehicle as far as possible

from the battery,

Never disconnect a terminal when the

engine is running.

Never charge a battery without first

disconnecting the terminals.

-

Operate the starter, let the engine run,

After every reconnection of the battery,

switch on the ignition and wait 1 minute

before starting to allow the electronic

systems to be initialised. If some problems

persist after this operation, please contact a

CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.

Wait for the engine to return to idle, then

disconnect the cables.

It is advisable to disconnect the battery

if the vehicle is not to be used for a

period of more than one month.

Battery

ECONOMY MODE

After the engine has stopped, with the key

in the ignition position, certain functions

(windscreen wiper, electric windows, courtesy

lamps, audio equipment, etc.) can only be used

for a cumulative duration of thirty minutes, to

prevent discharging of the battery.

Once the thirty minutes are over, the active

functions are put on standby and the battery

warning lamp flashes accompanied by a

message in the screen.

To resume the use of these functions

immediately, start the engine and let it run

for a few minutes.

The time available will then be double the

time for which the engine was left running.

However, this time will always be between

five and thirty minutes.

A flat battery will prevent the engine from

starting.

PUNCTURE REPAIR KIT

The kit is located at the left hand rear of the

vehicle.

The temporary puncture repair kit consists

of a compressor and a cartridge (containing

a sealant).

If, after approximately five to ten

minutes, you are not able to obtain

this pressure, the tyre cannot be

repaired; contact a CITROËN dealer

or a qualified workshop for roadside

assistance.

Vehicles supplied with a temporary

puncture repair kit do not have a spare

Snow chains

SNOW CHAINS

In wintry conditions, snow chains improve

traction as well as the behaviour of the

vehicle when braking.

Use only the chains designed to be fitted to

the type of wheel fitted to your vehicle:

Advice on installation



If you have to fit the chains during

a journey, stop the vehicle on a flat

surface on the side of the road.



Apply the parking brake and position any

wheel chocks to prevent movement of

your vehicle.

The snow chains must be fitted only to

the driving wheels. They must never be

fitted to "space-saver" type spare wheels.



Fit the chains following the instructions

provided by the manufacturer.

Move off gently and drive for a few

moments, without exceeding 30 mph

(50 km/h).

BRIDGESTONE



Stop your vehicle and check that the

snow chains are correctly tightened.

For more information on snow chains,

contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified

workshop.

Avoid driving on roads that have been

cleared of snow, to avoid damaging

your vehicle's tyres and the road surface. It

is recommended that before you leave, you

practise fitting the snow chains on a level

and dry surface. If your vehicle is fitted with

alloy wheels, check that no part of the chain

or its fixings is in contact with the wheel rim.

Take account of the legislation in force

in your country on the use of snow

chains and the maximum running speed

authorised.

Changing a fuse

CHANGING A FUSE

The three fuseboxes are placed:

-

in the dashboard on the right-hand side

(behind the storage compartments,

retractable),

-

in the passenger compartment (battery

compartment),

under the bonnet.

If fitted on your vehicle, a further fusebox

is added for towing, the towbar and the

connections for the coachbuilder and

platform cab conversions. It is located on the

right behind the load retaining partition.

The descriptions communicated are only the

fuses which can be changed by the user.

For any other operations, go to a CITROËN

dealer or a qualified workshop.

Always replace a failed fuse with a fuse

of the same rating.

Removing and fitting a fuse

Before changing a fuse, the cause of the

fault must be found and rectified.

CITROËN will not accept responsibility

for the cost incurred in repairing your

vehicle or for rectifying the malfunctions

resulting from the installation of accessories

not supplied and not recommended by

CITROËN and not installed in accordance

with its instructions, in particular when

the combined consumption of all of the

additional equipment connected exceeds

10 milliamperes.

For motor trade use: for complete

fuse and relay information, consult the

"Repair procedure" wiring diagrams via the

dealer network.
