For access to it:



unclip the cover by pulling at the top
right, then left


disengage the cover completely
and turn it over,


remove the carrier, on the back of

Changing a fuse

Before changing a fuse:



the cause of the failure must be
identifi ed and rectifi ed,


all electrical consumers must be
switched off,


the vehicle must be immobilised
with the ignition off,


identify the failed fuse using the ta-
bles and diagrams in the following
pages.
Good

Failed

To replace a fuse, you must:



use the special tweezer to extract
the fuse from its housing and check
the condition of its fi lament.


always replace the failed fuse with
a fuse of the same rating (same col-
our); the use of a fuse of different
rating fuse may cause malfunctions
(risk of fi re).
If the fault recurrs soon after replac-
ing the fuse, have the electrical system
checked by a CITROËN dealer or a
qualifi ed workshop.
Installing electrical
accessories
Your vehicle's electrical sys-
tem is designed to operate with
standard or optional equipment.
Before installing other elec-
trical equipment or accesso-
ries on your vehicle, contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.
CITROËN will not accept re-
sponsibility for the cost incurred
in repairing your vehicle or for
rectifying malfunctions resulting
from the installation of accesso-
ries not supplied and not recom-
mended 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 milliam-
peres.
The replacement of a fuse not
mentioned in the tables below
may cause a serious malfunc-
tion of your vehicle. Contact a
CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION
213
When your vehicle's battery is dis-
charged, the engine can be started
using a slave battery (external or on
another vehicle) and jump lead cables.












Starting using another battery




12 V BATTERY

The battery is located under the bonnet.
For access to the (+) terminal:



release the bonnet using the interior
lever, then the exterior safety catch,


raise the bonnet and secure it with
its stay,


lift the plastic cover for access to the
(+) terminal.


Access to the battery







The presence of this label, in par-
ticular with the Stop & Start sys-
tem, indicates the use of a 12 V
lead-acid battery with special
technology and specifi cation;
the involvement of a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop is
essential when replacing or dis-
connecting the battery.
Procedure for starting the engine us-
ing another battery or charging a dis-
charged 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).
First check that the slave battery
has a nominal voltage of 12 V
and a capacity at least equal to
that of the discharged battery.
Do not try to start the engine by
connecting a battery charger.
Do not disconnect the (+) termi-
nal when the engine is running.
Before doing any work
Immobilise the vehicle: apply the
parking brake, put the gearbox
in neutral, then switch off the ig-
nition.
Check that all electrical equip-
ment is switched off.

Reconnecting the (+) cable



Position the open clamp E
of the
cable on the positive post (+) of the
battery.


Press vertically on the clamp E
to
position it correctly on the battery.


Lock the clamp by spreading the
positioning lug and then lowering
the tab D
.

Start the engine of the vehicle with
the good battery and leave it run-
ning for a few minutes.


Operate the starter on the broken
down vehicle and let the engine run
.
If the engine does not start straight
away, switch off the ignition and wait
a few moments before trying again.


Wait until the engine returns to idle
then disconnect the jump lead ca-
bles in the reverse order.







Before disconnecting the battery
Wait 2 minutes after switching off the ig-
nition before disconnecting the battery.
Close the windows and the doors be-
fore disconnecting the battery.


Disconnecting the (+) cable



Raise the locking tab D
fully to re-
lease the cable terminal clamp E
.

Do not apply excessive force
on the tab as locking will not be
possible if the clamp is not posi-
tioned correctly; start the proce-
dure again.



Connect the red cable to the posi-
tive terminal (+) of the fl at battery A
,
then to the positive terminal (+) of
the slave battery B
.


Connect one end of the green or
black cable to the negative termi-
nal (-) of the slave battery B
(or
earth point on the other vehicle).


Connect the other end of the green
or black cable to the earth point C

on the broken down vehicle (or on
the engine mounting).
