Starting the engine with an assisting battery

If the battery is discharged, it is possible to use either a separate
emergency battery or a battery on another vehicle.
A. Dischargedbattery (Under the bonnet)
B. Assisting battery
C. Earth point on broken down vehicle
Check that the assisting battery has suffi cient voltage (12 V).
If you use the battery on another vehicle, stop the engine on the
latter. The two vehicles must not come into direct contact with each
other.
Connect the cables according to the order indicated in the diagram.

order

Check that the leads are well secured (risk of sparks).
Start the engine of the assisting vehicle. Let the engine run for
around 1 minute at a slightly accelerated idle.
Operate the starter on the vehicle being assisted.
Note: For any operation necessitating a disconnection of the bat-
tery, you must wait 3 minutes after switching the ignition off, taking no action which will prevent the vehicle's electrical
system from going to sleep (such as operating the doors and tailgate, pressing the buttons on the remote control,
etc.).

Never approach with a fl ame or create sparks in the vicinity

of the battery (explosive gas).
The battery contains dilute sulphuric acid which is highly
corrosive.
When handling batteries, always protect your face and
especially your eyes.
In the event of any contact with the skin, rinse immediately
with copious amounts of fresh water.

Advice

Do not touch the leads during
the operation.

Do not lean over the batteries.
Disconnect the cables in reverse
order, making sure they do not
touch together.

To open the fl ap, pull at the edge.

Locking fi ller cap

Turn the key a quarter turn to lock

and unlock the fi ller cap.
When refuelling, place the cap in
the support provided on the inside

of the fi ller fl ap.
For a petrol engine with a cata-
lytic converter, unleaded fuel is
compulsory.
The fi ller neck is narrower to

ensure that only unleaded petrol
can be put in.

When you are seeking to fi ll your tank, do not persist after the third

cut-off ; that could cause your vehicle to malfunction.

Fuel tank capacity (in litres):

Approx. 47.

If you should put in fuel that is not suitable for your vehicle's
engine type, it is imperative to have the tank drained before
you start the engine again.

FUEL QUALITY

A label inside the fi ller fl ap tells you which type of fuel to use.

UNLEADED PETROL

DIESEL FUEL

The petrol engines are designed to run on RON 95.
However, for better performance (petrol engine), we recommend RON 98.

Towbar

We recommend you to have this device fi tted by a CITROËN Dealer, who will be acquainted with your vehicle’s tow-

ing capability and with the procedures necessary for installing a safety item of this kind.

Dimensions (in metres)

A

: 0.738

Do not exceed the maximum permitted load.
For the maximum distributed load on the roof bars: see the
chapter “General”.
To avoid damage, do not remove the roof arches with the
roof bars attached. Make sure that the load on the roof is not
hindering the sliding of the folding roof.

Roof bars

For your safety and to avoid damage to the roof, you should use roof bars that are tested and approved by AUTO-
MOBILES CITROËN for the design of your particular vehicle.

For your safety and to avoid damage to the roof, you should use

safety and

Recommendations:

Spread the load evenly, avoiding overloading on one side.
Position the heaviest weight as low down as possible.
Tie the load down securely and add warning signs if it is protruding.
Drive conservatively, as the vehicle will be more vulnerable to side winds.
The stability of your vehicle may be altered.
Remove the roof rack or roof
bars when you are not using
them.

Note: It is possible to open the
sun roof even when the roof bars
are present.

Access to the spare wheel

To access the spare wheel
Lift the boot carpet.
Remove the jack- holder to access the wheel.

Tools

The tools are to be found in a protective holder inside the spare wheel.
Note:

In cabriolet or spider confi guration, it is necessary to move the roof

cassette in order to access the spare wheel.

To reposition the spare wheel

Return the wheel to the boot, place the toolbox inside the wheel, then secure
using the strap.

Tyre pressures

This is indicated on the label on the front door pillar. See “Vehicle identifi ca-

tion” and “User Precautions”.

Advice

The wheel bolts are specifi c to the type of wheel.

If the type of wheel is changed, check with your CITROËN dealer that the wheel bolts are compatible with the new
wheels.

The jack and all the tools are designed specifi cally for use on

your particular vehicle.
Do not use them for any other applications.
With a spare wheel, drive cautiously.

Removal

1.

Park the vehicle on stable, fi rm ground that is not slippery. Apply the

parking brake.

Switch off the ignition and engage fi rst gear or reverse gear, depending

on any slope.

2. Detach the wheel trim if there is one, using the end of the wheelbrace 4,

pulling close to the valve.

3.

Slacken the wheel bolts. For vehicles with aluminium wheel rims, fi rst

remove the bolt protectors using tool 6 and use the socket for the anti-
theft bolt 5.

4. Position the jack 1 at the vehicle subframe jacking point closest to the

wheel to be changed. Make sure that the whole surface of the jack
base is in contact with the ground.

5. Expand the jack 1 until the wheel is a few centimetres above the

ground.

6. Remove the uppermost bolt.
7. Undo the other bolts, remove the wheel.

Tools

1.

Jack.

2. Movable towing eye.
3. Compartment for bulb kit (Not supplied).
4. Wheelbrace.

Refi tting

1. Engage the wheel on the hub.
2. Screw in the bolts but do not fully tighten them.
3. Lower the jack and remove it.
4. Tighten the wheel bolts, using the wheelbrace.
5.

Refi t the embellisher, taking care to accommodate the tyre valve. For

vehicles equipped with aluminium rims, refi t the wheel bolt protectors.

6.

Have the original wheel repaired and refi tted as soon as possible.

7.

Make sure that the tyre is at the correct pressure (see “Vehicle Identifi -

cation” and “User Precautions”) and have the wheel balancing checked.

Dimension of the spare wheel

If your spare wheel is of a dimension different to that of the wheels normally

fi tted on your vehicle (identifi ed by a label), it is essential to use the spare

wheel only on a temporary basis, to drive carefully, not to exceed 80 km/h

(50 mph), to have the original wheel refi tted as soon as possible and never

to drive with more than one spare wheel of a different dimension fi tted on your vehicle.

Never get underneath the vehicle if it is supported only by the jack.
When changing a wheel, it is essential to park the vehicle safely on level and stable ground.

Wheel for temporary use

If your vehicle has light alloy wheel rims but a steel spare wheel, if you fi t

the latter it is normal to notice that the wheel bolts do not appear to contact
on the rim.
The spare wheel is secured by the conical tapering of the wheel bolt’s shaft
(See illustration).
when refi tting the light alloy wheel, make sure that the tapering contact faces

of the wheel bolts are clean and in good condition.

Towing eye fi xings are located at the front and at the rear of the vehicle.
To access them:

Carefully lift the access cover.

Movable towing eye

The towing ring is detachable and

can be fi tted either at the front or at

the rear of the vehicle. It is stowed
in the jack's protective holder in the
spare wheel.

When the engine is not running, the steering and the braking
are no longer assisted.
If you are towing another vehicle, the latter must be free-
wheeling (gearbox in neutral).

short distance is authorised in
exceptional cases depending on
the regulations in force.
Otherwise, it is necessary to
have your vehicle transported
on a recovery truck.
