Charging the battery using a
battery charger



Disconnect the battery from the

vehicle.



Remove the battery and place it in a

ventilated area.



Remove the top-up caps and top

up the level with distilled water if
necessary.



Connect the battery to the charger

observing the instructions for use
provided by the manufacturer and
start charging.



Disconnect the battery from the

charger and let it cool.



If necessary, top up the level with

distilled water.



Clean the top of the battery

carefully.



Put the top-up caps back in place.



Check that the terminals and

connectors are clean. If they are
covered with sulphate (whitish or
greenish deposit), remove them
and clean them.



Reconnect the battery starting with

the positive terminal (+).

Do not disconnect the terminals
while the engine is running.
Do not charge the batteries
without

disconnecting

the

terminals fi rst.

Following reconnection of the
battery
Following reconnection of the battery,
switch on the ignition and wait 1 minute
before starting to permit initialisation of
the electronic systems. However, if slight

diffi culties are encountered following this

operation, contact a CITROËN dealer.

Referring to the corresponding section,
you must yourself reinitialise:
-

the one-touch electric windows,

-

the sunroof,

-

the satellite navigation system.

Avoid prolonged contact of the
electrolyte with the skin.
Most of these fl uids are harmful

to health and very corrosive.

It is advisable to disconnect the
battery if the vehicle is to be left
unused for more than one month.

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.
Take used remote control batteries
and vehicle batteries to a special
collection point.

When charging the battery, it is
normal to observe an increase in
temperature and bubbling of the
electrolyte.

Before disconnecting the battery
Wait 2 minutes after switching off the ig-
nition before disconnecting the battery.
Close the windows, the sunroof, the
doors and the tailgate before discon-
necting the battery.

required out of the tool bag.

When being towed with the
engine off, there is no longer any
braking or steering assistance.

Place the gear lever in neutral.

Always have the vehicle

towed on a fl atbed.
Never have the vehicle towed

with the four wheels on the ground,
this could damage the transmission.
The vehicle must not be towed with
the front or rear wheels on the ground
even if it is in front “2WD” (2 wheel
drive) mode.



Screw in the towing eye fully using

the wheelbrace 3 .



Install the towbar.

TOWING A TRAILER,
CARAVAN, ETC.

Your vehicle is primarily designed for
transporting people and luggage, but it
may also be used for towing a trailer.

Driving advice

The maximum towing load on a long

slope depends on the gradient and the
outside temperature.
In all cases, pay attention to the coolant
temperature.

Side wind


Take into account the increased

sensitivity to side wind.

Cooling
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.


To lower the engine speed, reduce

your speed.

Braking
Towing a trailer increases the braking
distance.

Tyres


Check the tyre pressures of the

towing vehicle and of the trailer,
observing

the

recommended

pressures.

Lights


Check the electrical signalling on

the trailer.



If

this

message

is

displayed, stop your
vehicle as soon as it
is safe to do so.

If the message fl ashes

slowly, wait for the engine to cool before
topping up the level, if necessary.
If the message fl ashes rapidly, contact

a CITROËN dealer without delay.

Opening of the lower tailgate
is prohibited if a towbar is be-
ing used.

Driving with a trailer subjects the towing

vehicle to more signifi cant stress and

its driver must be particularly careful.

We recommend the use of
original

CITROËN

towbars

and their harnesses that have

been tested and approved from the
design stage of your vehicle and that

the fi tting of the towbar is entrusted

to a CITROËN dealer.
If the towbar is not fi tted by a

CITROËN dealer, it is imperative

that it is fi tted using the electrical pre-

equipment located at the rear of the
vehicle and in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.

Towbar suited to the attachment of
a trailer or caravan with additional
signalling and lighting.

Distribution of loads


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.

Air density decreases with altitude, thus
reducing engine performance. Above

1 000 metres, the maximum towing

load must be reduced by 10 % of the
GTW and so on for every 1 000 metres
of altitude.
Refer to the “Technical Data” section for
details of the weights and towing loads
which apply to your vehicle.

148

FITTING ROOF BARS

Maximum authorised weight on the

roof bars, for a loading height not

exceeding 40 cm (except bicycle

carriers): 80 kg.
If the height exceeds 40 cm, adapt

the speed of the vehicle to the
condition of the road, to avoid
damaging the roof bars and the

fi xings on the roof.
Please refer to national legislation to
comply with the regulations regarding
the transportation of objects which
are longer than the vehicle.

Consult a CITROËN dealer for the
installation of longitudinal roof bars.
When fi tting transverse roof bars,

ensure that they are positioned correctly
as shown by marks on the longitudinal
roof bars.

Use accessories recommended by
CITROËN and follow the accessory

manufacturer’s fi tting instructions.
In order to place a load on the roof, your

vehicle must be fi tted with longitudinal

roof bars with transverse roof bars fi tted

on top of these.
The longitudinal roof bars cannot be
removed.

WEIGHTS AND TOWED LOADS (IN KG)

* The kerb weight is equal to the weight without load + driver (75 kg).

** The speed of a towing vehicle must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) (comply with the legislation in force in your country).

*** The braked trailer value corresponds to the towing capacities of the vehicle on a 12% gradient.

High exterior temperatures may result in a reduction in the performance of the vehicle in order to protect the engine; reduce

the towed weight by 450 kg when your altitude increases by 1000 m.
