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.


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
.

Charging the battery using a
battery charger
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 bat-
teries and vehicle batteries to a
special collection point.



Disconnect the battery from the vehicle.



Follow the instructions for use pro-
vided by the manufacturer of the
charger.


Connect the battery starting with the
negative terminal (-).


Check that the terminals and con-
nectors are clean. If they are covered
with sulphate (whitish or greenish
deposit), remove them and clean
them.

Protect your eyes and face be-
fore handling the battery.
All operations on the battery
must be carried out in a well
ventilated area and away from
naked fl ames and sources of
sparks, so as to avoid the risk of
explosion or fi re.
Do not try to charge a frozen
battery; the battery must fi rst
be thawed out to avoid the risk
of explosion. If the battery has
been frozen, before charging
have it checked by a CITROËN
dealer or a qualifi ed workshop
who will check that the inter-
nal components have not been
damaged and the casing is not
cracked, which could cause a
leak of toxic and corrosive acid.
Do not reverse the polarity and
use only a 12 V charger.
Do not disconnect the terminals
while the engine is running.
Do not charge the batteries with-
out disconnecting the terminals
fi rst.
Wash your hands afterwards.



Reinitialisation after
reconnection

After any reconnection of the battery,
switch on the ignition and wait at least
one minute before starting, to allow
time for the initialisation of the electron-
ic systems.
By referring to the corresponding sec-
tions, you should set or initialise the fol-
lowing systems yourself:


- one-touch electric windows,

- time and date,

- audio and navigation system set-
tings.
Check that no alert message or warn-
ing lamp comes on after switching on
the ignition.
However, if minor problems persist af-
ter carrying out these operations, con-
tact a CITROËN dealer or a qualifi ed
workshop.


Some functions are not available
if the battery is not suffi ciently
charged.









Do not push the vehicle to start
the engine if you have an elec-
tronic or automatic gearbox.
With Stop & Start, the battery
does not have to be disconnect-
ed for charging.

LOAD REDUCTION MODE

System which manages the use of cer-
tain functions according to the level of
charge remaining in the battery.

When the vehicle is being driven, the
load reduction function temporarily de-
activates certain functions, such as the
air conditioning, the heated rear screen...
The deactivated functions are reactivat-
ed automatically as soon as conditions
permit.








ENERGY ECONOMY MODE

System which manages the period of
use of certain functions to conserve a
suffi cient level of charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can
still use functions such as the audio
equipment, windscreen wipers, dipped
beam headlamps, courtesy lamps, etc.
for a maximum combined period of thirty
minutes.

Switching to economy mode

Once this period has elapsed, a message
appears in the screen indicating that the
vehicle has switched to economy mode
and the active functions are put on standby.
If the telephone is being used at
the same time on the navigation
system, it will be interrupted after
10 minutes.
A fl at battery prevents the en-
gine from starting (refer to the
corresponding paragraph).


Exiting economy mode

These functions are reactivated auto-
matically the next time the vehicle is
driven.



In order to resume the use of these
functions immediately, start the engine
and let it run for a few minutes.
The time available to you will then be
double the period for which the engine
is left running. However, this period will
always be between fi ve and thirty minutes.

This period may be greatly re-
duced if the battery is not fully
charged.
