BATTERY
This is housed in a compartment located
underneath the fl oor, in front of the front right seat.
Before disconnecting the battery, you must
wait for 2 minutes after switching off the
ignition.
Never disconnect a terminal when the
engine is running.
Never charge a battery without first
disconnecting the terminals.
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. It is advisable to disconnect the battery
if the vehicle is not to be used for a
period of more than one month.
After the engine has stopped, with the key
in the ignition position, certain functions
(windscreen wiper, electric windows, courtesy
lights, audio equipment, etc.) can only be used
for a cumulative duration of thirty minutes, to
prevent discharging of the battery.
To charge the battery using a battery
charger
- Disconnect the battery,
- 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.
To start the vehicle from another
battery
- Connect the red cable to the positive (+)
terminals of the two batteries,
- Connect one end of the green or black
cable to the negative (-) terminal of the
slave battery,
- 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,
- Operate the starter, let the engine run,
- Wait for the engine to return to idle, then
disconnect the cables. Once the thirty minutes are over, the active
functions are put on standby and the battery
warning light flashes accompanied by a
message on the display.
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.
