Practical information




12 V battery
The presence of this label indicates the use of a 12 V lead-acid battery withspecial technology and specification, for which the involvement of a CITROËNdealer or qualified workshop is requiredwhen replacing or disconnecting the battery.
Failure to observe this recommendation may cause premature wear of the battery.The battery is located under the bonnet.
To
gain access to it:) open the bonnet using the interior releaselever, then the exterior safety catch,)
remove the plastic cover on the (+)
terminal
,) if necessary, unclip the fusebox to remove
the battery.
Access to the battery
) Raise the locking tab D
fully to release thecable terminal clamp E.


Reconnecting the (+) cable
)
Position the open clamp E
of the cable on
the positive post (+) of the battery. ) Press ver tically on the clamp E
to position
it correctly on the battery.) Lock the clamp by spreading thepositioning lug and then lowering the tab D.

Do not apply excessive force on the tab as locking will not be possible if the clamp is not positioned correctly; star tthe procedure again.
Before doing any work on your vehicle,
switch off the ignition ( Readylamp off)to avoid any risk of injury resulting from automatic operation of the engine. Y
our vehicle is fitted with a conventional 12 V
battery, located under the bonnet, in addition
to the hi
gh voltage battery used by the hybridsystem.
In cer tain conditions, if the 12 V battery is
too discharged to activate the hybrid system,
recharging from another conventional 12 V battery is possible.
Do not carry out this recharge if the Readylamp is on.
Procedure
for star ting the engine using another battery or charging a discharged battery.



Disconnecting the (+) cable

After refitting the battery, theStop & Start system will only be active after several hours depending on the climatic conditions and the state of charge of the battery (up to about 8 hours). When
your vehicle's battery is discharged, theengine can be star ted using a slave battery(external or on another vehicle) and jump lead cables.
Starting using another
battery

First check that the slave battery has a nominal voltage of 12 V and a capacityat least equal to that of the discharged battery. Do not try to star t the engine by connecting a battery charger.
Do not disconnect the (+) terminal when the engine is running.
)Connect the red cable to the positive
terminal (+) of the flat battery A , then to the positive terminal (+) of the slave battery B.)Connect one end of the green or blackcable to the negative terminal (-) of the
slave battery B(or ear th point on the other
vehicle).)Connect the other end of the green or black cable to the ear th point Con the broken
down vehicle (or on the engine mounting).)Star t the engine of the vehicle with the good battery and leave it running for a fewminutes.
) Operate the star ter on the broken down
vehicle and let the engine run
If the engine does not star t 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 cables in the
reverse order.

)Disconnect the battery from the vehicle.)Follow the instructions for use provided by
the manufacturer of the charger.)Connect the battery starting with thenegative terminal (-).)Check that the terminals and connectorsare clean. If they are covered with sulphate (whitish or greenish deposit), remove themand clean them.











Charging the battery using
a battery charger

227Practical information
Do not attempt to charge the high voltage battery.
The batteries contain harmful substances such as sulphuric acid and lead. They mustbe disposed of in accordance with regulations and must not, in any circumstances, bediscarded with household waste.
Take used remote control batteries and vehicle batteries to a special collectionpoint.
It is advisable to disconnect the battery if the vehicle is to be left unused for more than one month.


Protect your eyes and face before handling the battery. All operations on the battery must becarried out in a well ventilated area andaway from naked flames and sourcesof sparks, so as to avoid the risk of explosion or fire.
Do not try to charge a frozen battery;the battery must first be thawed out to avoid the risk of explosion. If the batteryhas been frozen, before charging have it checked by a CITROËN dealer or aqualified workshop who will check that the internal components have not beendamaged and the casing is not cracked,which could cause a leak of toxic and corrosive acid. Do not reverse the polarity and use onlya 12 V charger. Do not disconnect the terminals whilethe engine is running. Do not charge the batteries withoutdisconnecting the terminals first.
Wash your hands afterwards.
Do not push the vehicle to star t the engine if the vehicle is fitted with the electronic gearbox.







Before disconnecting the battery

Wait 2 minutes after switching off the ignition
before disconnecting the battery.
Close the windows and the doors before
disconnecting the battery.


Following reconnection of the battery

Following reconnection of the battery, switch on
the ignition and wait 1 minute before star ting to
permit initialisation of the electronic systems.However, if problems remain following this operation, contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop.
Referring to the corresponding section, you
must yourself reinitialise (depending on
version):


- the remote control key,

- the electric blind(s), - ...

Do not push the vehicle to star tthe engine.

System which manages the duration of use of cer tain functions to conser ve a sufficient level of
charge in the battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can still use functions such as the audio and telematics
system, windscreen wipers, dipped beam headlamps, cour tesy lamps, etc. for a maximumcombined duration of about for ty minutes.






Energy economy mode

system.


Exiting economy mode

These functions are reactivated automaticallynext time the vehicle is driven.
In order to restore the use of these functionsimmediately, star t the engine and let it run:


- for less than ten minutes, to use the

- for more than ten minutes, to use theequipment for up to approximatelythirty minutes.
Let the engine run for the duration specified toensure that the battery charge is sufficient.
Do not repeatedly and continuously restar t theengine in order to charge the battery.
A flat battery prevents the engine from star ting (refer to the "Battery" section).
