The presence of this label, in
particular with the Stop & Start
system, indicates the use of a
12 V lead-acid battery with spe-
cial technology and specifi cation;
the involvement of a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop is
essential when replacing or dis-
connecting the battery.
Failure to observe this recom-
mendation may cause premature
wear of the battery. Procedure for charging your battery
when it is fl at or for starting the engine
using another battery.

After refi tting 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).

)
Position the open clip 1
of the cable
on the positive terminal (+) of the
battery.

)
Press vertically on the clip 1
to position
it correctly against the battery.
